Beautifully decorated space and outstanding food. We ordered the Guava Lava cocktail, empanadas, and the Brisa smashburger. So much flavor! The drink was a little spicy, a little sweet, and a little salty from the rim. Our waiter also recommended the Matcha Martini which we will have to try next time. The empanadas came topped with three sauces and some pico, so they were a little messy to eat, but delicious. Loved seeing the Latin-Asian fusion options on the menu. We arrived around 6pm on a Monday and the restaurant began filling up while we were seated. They offer a fantastic happy hour menu and the people on staff were friendly and fun. The atmosphere is laid-back and aesthetically pleasing with gorgeous glassware and warm furniture pieces. 10/10 recommend Brisa for your next date night, girls night out, or solo dining experience! They have seating for all sorts of group sizes.
Don’t fall for the fake hype!!
Food had very little flavor and the latin/asian fusion didn’t work at all. The sushi rolls were fishy and tasted like fish that was spoiling. The several cocktails we tried were all way too sweet and way overpriced. Service was slow and inattentive for a weekday. Overall, for the price and experience I would recommend checking out some of the other great neighborhood restaurants instead.
Additionally, looking through the reviews it seems like most of the good reviews are being written by management/employees. It appears as if they are inflating their reviews with a lot of double reviews from accounts with the same name, back to back reviews from new accounts, or even written by the manager (Jennifer/Jenny R).
I came here last Friday with my girlfriends.. I never leave reviews unless it was a memorable experience from the staff! And it was definitely that.. I’m 8 months pregnant and they were very accommodating and even brought me a sparking champagne to toast with all my girls. Our waiter was so sweet and attentive. Oh and the food was divine! I remember one of the servers name was Austin. He was so kind and bubbly. Loved the vibes. Definitely will be coming back!
Walking into this restaurant feels like stepping into Tulum. It’s giving Tulum meets boho paradise, with lush greenery, soft lighting, and earthy textures that make you want to stay for hours. It’s not just a dinner spot — it’s a whole vibe.
What truly sets this place apart, though, is the staff. The waiters and waitresses don’t just serve food — they radiate joy. You can tell they love what they do, and it pours into every interaction. They're attentive without being overbearing, and every smile feels genuine.
As for the food? Incredible. Every bite was layered with flavor and made with care. From the appetizers to the mains and cocktails, everything was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. It’s the kind of menu that makes you want to come back just to try the dishes you missed.
This spot doesn’t just serve great meals — it leaves you with a feeling. That rare mix of laid-back luxury, soulful service, and unforgettable flavor. Can’t wait to return.
Came into Brisa last night and had a wonderful experience!!! The food and cocktails were fantastic & not to mention the ambience was beautiful. Our server, Annalise, was very knowledgable on the menu and was so sweet. Highly recommend the guava lava cocktail!
love the ambience of this place, the desserts were my favorite part, and annalise gave us fantastic service
Came for a girls night out and this place did not disappoint! The drinks and food were delicious and Analiese (our server) was AMAZING! 10/10 recommend!
Food was good. Calamari was really good. Annalise was great! However I think they could do better on their sushi tower, the sashimi could be cut thinner for the illusion to look more. I’d recommend doing a smaller tower so it looks more full, but otherwise the food was food.
It was our first time and we had an amazing time. Annalise took care of us and shes the sweetest. Would definitely go back and hopefully we get Annalise again ❤️
