The show our Chef Anders put on was incredible. The kids were in awe and he definitely kept them entertained. We came on Christmas so even with a reservation we weren’t seated until about an hour later. That’s how busy it was. They have a surprising amount of seating at this location though. I’m sure that wouldn’t be an issue on a normal day. Food was of course fresh and delicious! We really enjoyed our Family Christmas outing

The most pace was amazing, great atmosphere. The food was good but the service lacked a lot to be desired. I understand it was Christmas Eve but it was lacking. The server was nice and polite but we waited several minutes for drinks, drink refills and other things.

The Brentwood Grille is always great. We had the lamb chops which were done perfectly and service from our waitress Sam is always great. We'll be back with visiting family this weekend.

Don’t go there. It’s terrible! Actually, it’s my favorite restaurant and always hard to get reservations so don’t go. LOL! I’m conflicted, I want to keep this place a secret, but here I am posting on their behalf. If you do go you won’t be disappointed and you will help support the students that work very hard to make your dining experience special.
