    The location is amazing. The restaurant is a little dated. The service impeccable. The food was amazing- we ordered salads, appetizers, entrees, dessert, drinks. The only negative were the French fries- there’s nothing positive I can say about the fries. Aside from that, would highly recommend this restaurant for a nice dinner out!

    We almost always have a great time and meal at The Brig , as many of us call it! Three good friends decided to have fun and carefree lunch during the holiday week and Julia, our server put the whole experience over the top with her humor, professionalism, and attention to detail. Give that woman a raise and keep up the great work…and thank you for making our lunch extra special!
