Such a good time! Had a little delay in getting seated but we were offered a round of free drinks to accommodate us. Loved the vibes here!

We did brunch tocelebrate our son's 30th birthday, its was a group of 7. The service and food was fantastic. We booked the celebration package and got a complimentary bottle of champagne. We brought in a cake and they took care of serving it too. We all had a great time.

It wasn't a busy night. We shared: the Beet Salad, which was HUGE! Korean Ribs - 4 in an order -delish, with some heat Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice - absolutely wonderful with the contrast of silky smooth tuna and the rice, with its crunchy exterior and soft inner. This is spicy. Waitress was well versed on our menu choices. Would definitely return!!!

I arrived early for my reservation and a seemingly random man wandered up to the host stand and greeted me. I think he might be the owner or a manager. He was nice enough. I wasn't seated where I requested and it wasn't busy, but my table was still fine. The server was friendly and checked in frequently without being overbearing. The ambiance was casual and quiet. The food was pretty mediocre. The BLTA was fine. Nothing remarkable. I also had the Crème Brûlée, which was also just fine. It had a random shortbread cookie on top that really doesn't make sense with the dish. I could have done without it. Everything was just...fine.

Food was fine. The service was definitely lacking which was surprising because it wasn't busy when we sat down.

It would get 4 stars if not for the service. We were seated immediately but wasn't attended to for over 20 minutes. Even then, I had to flag the waitress down. Alcohol came quickly but the water was another wait. Once the food arrived, it made up for the lack of service (somewhat). I don't know if Sunday dining made a difference. I would come back again another time (seems like there are a lot of reviews for brunch/lunch).

We were seated Al Fresco, near the fire place which kept us quite comfortable on an autumn evening meal.

Our server was pleasant with great banter on rosemary v celery talk. Had a few good laughs.

We shared a wonton starter which was just the right sized portion to stop the stomach growling while we waited for our main. I had the baby’s back ribs, dry rub with the sauce on the side. Very meaty, and plentiful amount. Our friends had the shrimp and claim linguini which was excellent, according to them. Hubby had the French dip, a massive sized portion with a good amount of meat. He wasn’t crazy about the au jus…lacking a bit of flavor, so perhaps the kitchen could work on that to perfect the dish.

I would recommend a visit in the neighborhood of great options!

It was a quiet Tuesday evening and this beautiful space was not busy at all. So we had great personalized attention and insight into the menu from our kind server. I understand that the Brixton can have a packed-to-the-walls weekend crowd, but I am glad we had a calmer experience. The array of appetizers we selected for a mix-and-match approach to our meal were eclectic blends of culture, flavors, and preparation styles- all done really well! I had a zero-alcohol housemade, shrub-based mocktail- totally going to have that one again! So freshing and allowed me to drive home safely!

From the minute we walked into the Brixton we had a wonderful time! The owner seated us and sent over his favorite appetizer. The food was delicious! We also had cocktails, dinner and dessert - also amazing. Our server was wonderful and we can't wait to go back!

The service sucks. It’s going to kill the place. Specifically the male host with the glasses. Standing right in front of him and didn’t acknowledge me

I’ve been coming here for years—it’s such a great community spot where you always feel welcome. I used to go more at night for drinks with friends, but lately I’ve been hooked on the food menu. Just had the Micky D’s breakfast and they nailed it. Totally hit that fast-food craving, but with legit quality ingredients. The hash browns 🔥🔥 (perfect crisp, flavor, texture). Such a fun, creative menu item.

Excellent service and food for dinner. Surprised that it was so quiet with such a good experience.

Reservation was at 11am. Hostess was lovely—gave us a warm welcome and a great table. Things were off to a good start... until our “waitress” silently appeared like a hydration ninja, filled our glasses without a word, and vanished. Plot twist: that was our server. Service from there? Let's call it... retro diner chic, minus the charm. She was curt, borderline cold, and handled everything like she was mad at the plates. She kept forgetting who ordered what, and when my friend asked her go-to dish, she hit us with “I just started last weekend.” Honest? Sure. Helpful? Not even a little. The whole vibe felt like we were bothering her by being there .
