Our server, Pilar, was very hospitable and quick to attend our needs. Her kind and friendly attitude made the experience all the best. I decided to visit for the first time for my birthday with a big party and we were all satisfied with the food! I have to say my dish “Tortilla de Patatas” and the salad was too salty for my liking but it was well made with greta seasoning. I would recommend to others and I will go back again.

Hostess sat us at our table and we sat for at least 10 minutes before we were acknowledged. Our server Emma was very nice. Food was good. Wondered why one of the employees was mopping the whole hallway to the restroom and the restroom while there were still patrons in the restaurant. Wet floor sign was posted but still risk of slipping. Isn’t that something you do after closing?? Had been at wine tasting prior to dinner. Wine tasting was great! Rachel very knowledgable and fun. The other young lady pouring wine had no knowledge of the wine. Apps were ok

Was our first time and will give them another try, but service was pretty slow and not terribly attentive. Coffee drinks came out lukewarm, and two of our three orders came out almost cold. Food was pretty tasty otherwise although my son didn’t enjoy the rice noodle dish. Lovely restaurant… I’m thinking we may not have caught them at their best.

It was our first time at Brasserie 23 for Valentine’s Day. We loved the steak tartar but everything was delicious. Our server went above and beyond to make sure we were well looked after. There is more on the menu we want to try and can’t wait to be back.

The service was excellent, and being our first visit, we were impressed with the atmosphere. Everything you would hope for from a modern French bistro. Excellent cocktail and wine list. I would have preferred the duck breast to be seared a bit better, but overall a fantastic visit.

Wow..this had to be one of the MOST disappointing meals I have had in a long time. I'm not afraid to spend money but this meal should have been free TBH. We had a party of 10 - 5 of us with birthdays - made an advance reservation in light of large party. Things started well but once the main course was served - YIKES - all of the food was lukewarm at best - how long had it been sitting there? - sauces and gravy literally congealed on most plates - is there no plate warmer, food warmers or salamander? One of our party ordered the salmon dill dish - had a dietary concern (no pepper) - no problem we were told only the ratatouille had pepper..and could sub out a vegetable - later told oh, potato puree has white pepper - ok, double the veggie - then the salmon comes out - literally a piece of salmon on a plate - no veggie, no sauce, no garnish at all. Where was the sauce..oh, found out it had pepper in it but we were never told that until the single piece of salmon was brought to the table - and salmon did not come out at same time as other entrees and the veggie came out even later. the puff pastry chicken and the chicken with noodles were also barely warm - again, with congealed sauce as was the short rib....Duck breast did not have fat properly rendered - second cup of coffee also came out cold???? No recognition for birthdays other than 2 signs on the table..no dessert, nothing. Caesar salad was weird with a cold hard poached egg. - overall, an embarrassment to restaurant and me - who selected this place based upon good reviews. I have NO idea what was happening in that kitchen but keeping food hot was certainly not part of it. They took the salmon off the bill - as they should ($31 for piece of salmon and a bit of asparagus brought out after the fact) and 15% off the total bill and then tried to sell us on their 'brunch' - no thank you - while the appetizers and drinks were fine, pretty skimpy on the bread/crostini - asked for more and they charged for it possibly?
