Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in Plaza / Brookside

The bar service was great. We arrived an hour early and sat at the bar to drink and have an appetizer. Appetizers were flatbread and meatballs! Both were excellent. When we were seated our waiter was okay at best. Don’t know if he was just having an off night but we could sense he just didn’t want to be there. When we were closing the ticket out we considered having another drink and he said well it would make my night easier if you didn’t! For dinner we ordered Steak, Lamb and Lobster between 4 of us. Steak was charred and over cooked & lobster was way over cooked! The lamb was good. We weren’t told they were out of broccoli so everyone’s plates just came with green beans. We asked the waiter and he said they were out of broccoli. Even though it was a mix up, the green beans were the best part of the meals! I think this night was just an off night because normally we’ve had good service and food!

Our server, Katlin, was wonderful! the new baker potato souffle was very tasty. very glad it's staying on the menu. His steak was cool but said it still tasted good. My sweetheart pasta was cold so not as tasty. Needs cheese. The chocolate creme brulee was very good but would be great if warm. Maybe our food was held too long before released to be served

Kathleen was our server last night, and she was wonderful!! We never had her before, she was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed our meatball appetizer and cocktails before ordering the delicious tomato bisque and salad. Kathleen checked in with us regularly to make sure we were pleased with our meal.

First time to visit. Great place. Eclectic feel. Really enjoyed the Abramowitz group - very talented musicians putting out great jazz every 4th Friday at Johnnie’s
