What a disappointment. First course of Foie Gras was served with a Foie Gras creme brulee in a tiny oval shaped dish. The creme brulee was tasty but was unable to eat it all as no spoon was provided. The Foie Gras itself was under cooked. Our main courses of hen & duck were barely warm. The hen was inedible. Our suggestion would be to skip Brasserie but buy a bottle of wine from Wine Cellar, pick out a recipe from Julia Child and cook at home.

Go for the wine - the food is good but not outstanding - but who cares? This has to be done if you love food and wine pairings, and while the location is wacky, it really doesnt matter. You get the idea when you walk past the wine store on the way in as to what this is going to be about. Just go.

I like this restaurant mainly for the incredible wine list along with the great prices on wine. The markup is only 20% over retail. The food is very good, but not really deserving of the 28 rating it got. I'd put it at a 24 or 25. Not up there with an Addison type restaurant.

amazing menu and wine list but the decor is in serious need of a re-do. Odd location but you won't be disappointed in the flavors and presentation.
