    This was our first time at Brenner's. The food and the service were excellent. The waiter acknowledged our Anniversary and congratulated us several times. The steaks were cooked perfectly. And while they are a sister restaurant to Mastro's (which we enjoy), I'd say these steaks were even better than the great steaks we had at Mastro's. The waiter also gave us a special complimentary anniversary brownie a la mode dessert in addition to the creme brulee we ordered. I haven't been back to this location since it was Rainbow Lodge, but I like what Brenner's did with the decor and the overall look of the restaurant.

    From the moment we walked in until we walked out just phenomenal service. We went for our anniversary and the hostess told us happy anniversary and the waiter kept commenting on our anniversary- even remembered how many years we’ve been married! Everyone was so attentive and the food was OUTSTANDING. The waiter we had was by far the best waiter we have ever had (at any dining experience!) we will definitely be back.
