The Brick Restaurant

We had an exceptional meal at The Brick! Everything was very yummy and the drinks were great. One little snafu with our appetizer, but it did not deter from the meal.

Lets call this a brunch-​biased review. I can’t speak to the whole of The Brick’s menu or how the restaurant might be during dinner, but I have visited multiple times over the years for Sunday brunch and enjoyed each experience.
Overall, the atmosphere is great. Good lighting, nice vibe… it feels like a more upscale locals’ hangout. This most recent visit, I found the service to be great. Our hostess was welcoming and the waitress was quick to get drinks and continued to check on us during the meal.
I started off with a black coffee and a champagne mojito. The coffee was lackluster, but the mixed drink was light and refreshing. Come to think of it, I should have gotten a second. The menu features a lot of vegetarian options which excited my veggie-​loving roommate. I opted for one of their many eggs benedict dishes.
Overall, this brunch and those from past experiences have not been world-​changing. The food is well-​prepared, slightly above average, and satisfying. It’s a solid place for a standard brunch. I think my biggest issue would be costs. The food is good, but nothing radical enough to justify the higher prices

This is our 2^nd try here, just in case they having a bad day or something…
The food just isn’t that great here. Honey got huevos rancheros and I ordered smoked salmon Benedict. The best thing I can say about my dish was that the poached egg was good. The sauce was very dense and thick, the English muffin was hard in spots, but didn’t absorb the egg or the sauce. The salmon was very scarce, but that was ok since it was so fishy tasting. I order fruit as a side, instead of potatoes or grits. The service is still not great either. We saw the server to order, then waited more than 30 minutes for our food to be delivered, then she showed up afterwards to refill the drinks. There was no lack of staff. I do have to say the place was much cleaner and less dusty than the last time we were here. We were there at 3pm and the place was almost empty. I’m pretty sure we won’t be back for visit #3.

We love this restaurant; it never fails us. The service is always great and the food is not only delicious but consistent. They have the best Ginger Mojitos and best of all, they serve real food in until midnight on the weekend.
We like the Caprese and the Poke Salad. The salmon (both types) is wonderful and the scallops are awesome.
It does get really busy during peak dinner hours but they serve pretty quickly and move people out as long as they aren’t campers. Although they turn over tables quickly, you never feel rushed.
This is one of our favorite restaurants. Oh yeah, the patio is ultra dog friendly.

I personally think The Brick is great (however a tad bit overpriced). We stopped by here for brunch opting to sit outside since it was so pretty out.
I selected the Biscuits & Gravy and it was delicious and a huge serving. I had no trouble finishing it all though :) I also had a mimosa (and bought one for a friend)…bill total $ 16 (for a breakfast dish that consists of 2 biscuits with gravy and 2 mimosas I think that’s a little much).
I will be back however b/​c the service is good. And they have an awesome turkey sandwich on their menu.

I gotta say that I wasn’t wildly impressed with this place. The food was good, and pretty but nothing I would rave about. Our party got a few things so we could share and try out the variety but nothing really stood out. We got some calamari that was extremely chewy, so chewy that I felt like I was pulling a fruit chew away from my mouth. It was also fried a bit to long that it was very dark. When we mentioned it to the server he just said that its always like that, needless to say we sent it back and got the baked Brie. The Brie was pretty good. Came with fresh fruit and bread but again, nothing to rave about.
We all had coffee and seriously we could not figure out for the life of us why our server would not fill up our cups. He would fill it 2 thirds of the way and it got a bit on our nerves but we didn’t complain because maybe its policy or some thing. The one thing that really did stand out were the grits. They were really good. Perfect flavor and consistency. The French toast was also pretty good but again nothing memorable or amazing. The variety of eggs Benedict was good and the food was good but I don’t know, something just didn’t rub me the right way about the service. Maybe I’ll go back and give them a try again.
