We've heard really great things about The Brookdale and spontaneously decided to have dinner Saturday night. We were able to reserve a table which was great and it was ready when we arrived. The ambiance is cute, lower lighting, bar with tvs and sort of a chic industrial vibe. It took a while for our server to greet us but service was decent overall. The food and cocktail menus themselves get you excited because they do offer unique options in addition to traditional options as well. The food was good overall but nothing to write home about (& a portion of one entree was burnt which was disappointing). The cocktails were also average.

No ac on one of the hottest days of the year, let us know in advanced. Would have been better if the staff were attentive. From one restaurant owner to another you need more quality control

We have been dining at The Brookdale since they opened, and this was the most disappointing experience so far. The restaurant was not busy, but the wait staff was very lackadaisical and it felt like we were an inconvenience to them. All of the food was so salty, even my salad. So salty that I couldn't eat most of it. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. Hopefully it was just a bad day...

This was our first time at Brookdale. The entree food was the best part - everything was well-seasoned / flavorful. Everything else was a bit lacking unfortunately. Drinks? They told my dad they had iced tea and proceeded to bring him a glass of iced water and a tea bag. Food took a while to come out, and while our server was polite, he wasn't very knowledgeable about the menu. It was very loud, so we spent a lot of the meal trying to hear each other. I think this place probably shines for sports watching in the bar over beer and wings, but I wouldn't return for family dinner.

We had a 4:30pm reservation and arrived around 4:15. Our table was not ready yet so the host said we can wait by the bar, and they would come get us when the table was ready. Both bartenders were just standing there, and we had to wait 5 minutes to be greeted. Once our table was ready it was about 5:00pm at this point. 30 minutes past our reservation time. Our server did not greet us for 15 minutes as he was seated a party of 8 and ignored us the ENTIRE visit for the large party. He forgot to put in our appetizer and kids' meal for our son. We waited 45 minutes for a pretzel and kids' cheeseburger. Finally, the HOST not even our server asked us if we wanted a drink refill. After the appetizer and kids' meal came out my husband and I had to wait 30 minutes for our entrees. The server did bring out chips and dip for us for the inconvenience but that was after we already ate, and we were no longer hungry. We would have rathered a desert or some of the meal compensated. All of the food was very good. But it was probably the WORST service we have ever received. The two hosts were the only friendly attentive part of the staff.

Food was excellent. Our server was Victor and he was fantastic. The only complaint id have is they sat us right by the front door where people were walking in and right below the speaker where the music was way too loud. It was Mother's Day and they should have been playing quieter more gentle music rather than loud club/disco. There was also plenty of seating outside and that would have been much better.

I've been to The Brookdale a few times and have always enjoyed the experience. On my most recent visit, I was a bit disappointed. First, I was looking forward to my favorite, the White Pizza, and while it was listed on its online menu, it was not available on the menu in house. Second, we ordered the Pastrami Rueben Quesadilla and while crispy, none of the cheese was melted and the middle was cold. Finally, while the dressing on the Greek Salad was “very good” it was terrible value having spent $46 for two salads with grilled chicken. I want to give this spot another chance as it's been a previous favorite, but not for a while.

I live in town and always liked The Brookdale. I had not been there in a while. The premio egg rolls have become much smaller. Out of the list of beers they only had 3. 3 of us ordered the burger and only one came out with everything on it. The other 2 had to ask for the onions after their food came out. The bathrooms were dirty. I was disappointed as I really like this restaurant.

This was our first visit, which has established The Brookdale as our northern destination when meeting up with our friend. The menu had plenty of choices for every palate. Our selections included: The Big Sexy (50/50 ground bacon & beef), Tuna Tacos, Chicken Wings and a Taco Salad with Chicken. Our reservation was for 11:30am, when the restaurant first opened. Since we arrived early, we went next door to the Lady Finger Bakery, which is also under the same owners. Nice selections. It was surprising to see that it was also a bar!
Everything was amazing - ample parking to start, friendly and knowledgeable staff, the food was amazing! It was our first time at the Brookdale and we will definitely be back.

My husband and I enjoyed our food here. Didn't like where we sat only because each time the front door opened, a cold blast of air hit us, especially since not all people were considerate enough to make sure the door was closed. Despite that we had a lovely server and our water glasses were always filled.

Overall, a VERY NICE experience was had by our dinner party! This was our fourth visit to the restaurant and they continue to deliver good food, great drinks, and great service! The only call out we had this visit was the EXTREMELY LOUD party by the bar who were watching a game on the television- they should have been more respectful to the remaining restaurant patrons, especially on a Friday night! At the end of the day, minus the noisy patrons, our dinner party were pleased with our experience.

Very good burgers and sandwiches in general, quite reasonable prices, absolutely recommended
