The main attractions at BRINE are backed up by soups, salads, Po-Boys, and “off the page” daily specials to provide plenty of variety.This neighborhood hangout welcomes all and leaves pretension at the door. The low-key design and elevated standards of service allow the food to speak for itself, and Manager Gissele Tache and her staff are always on hand to recommend an adventurous catch, a fine bottle of wine, or a sweet after-dinner treat.

Celebrating a fun girls night out with 3 March birthdays. We all enjoyed a delicious meal, beginning with our appetizers…delicious mussels, calamari & crab cakes. Our entrees were so yummy, the salmon with the sweet potato’s & asparagus was amazing! The white filet fish was a very generous portion and cooked to perfection. Our waiter, Drake was so pleasant and attentive. We can’t wait to go back!
