    The dinner we had was absolutely outstanding. The wild game sausage board was phenomenal, and the Mer et la Terre board was spectacular. Our pre-dinner drinks were also delicious. Their drink menu has changed from what's on their website: the Tequila Mockingbird has a perfectly balanced splash of watermelon juice in it, and there's a duck-fat-washed bourbon sour now which is just incredibly subtle and complex. We were there on a Thursday early evening, so it was relatively quiet which was lovely. Our host was warm and friendly and wonderful as well. The menu might not be right for everyone so definitely look it over beforehand. If you like what you see on the menu, I'm certain that you'll love the food that they serve you.

    Ambience was cool i liked the vibe. Food and drinks were overpriced. Portion sizes were small. Cutlery was not provided with food and I had to ask for it twice from the bartender. Food came out and server did not check on us until we were 2/3 finished our meal. Poor service overall, server infrequently checked on table. Came for my birthday and was provided a small dessert on the house, which was appreciated. However, did not feel like a special birthday experience at all. Honestly would not return, better value and service at the Keg if you’re a steak fan.

    Venue was excellent. Food was a little disappointing for the price, and service was very poor. Could have just been an off night, but I was expecting much more.

    The food was fantastic, however our reservation was at 7:30 and we did not get seen by anyone or even receive water until 8:15. We did get our first round of drinks for free which we greatly appreciated but didn’t receive any food until 9:15. Overall we were there for 3 hours which was way longer than necessary but we would all still highly recommend the food.

    The restaurant has a cool vibe and interesting location. However, it was busy and it took over 1/2 hour to been seen by our server. Our drinks did not come for another 1/2 hour. We notice other tables having the same wait times. Server was pleasant. Food was fine. We initiated a complaint and were seen by manager promptly. He took the drinks off our bill and offered free dessert. But we had been there long enough. Disappointing.

    We had an outstanding experience at Brothers Grimm. The candlelit cellar ambiance is stunning. Food and cocktails were creative and delicious. Our server was attentive and engaging. Price point is a little high, but the experience is worth it for a treat.

    Great ambience, excellent service. Food was average, portions small and priced high. Worth a try, but not money well spent.

    Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Was hoping to find more barrel aged beer on the menu though.
