    "5/5 stars! Our steak dinner at Briquettes was absolutely phenomenal! The food was cooked to perfection, and the service was top-notch. But what really made our evening special was the exceptional hospitality from our host, Toby. He went above and beyond by setting our table with a bouquet of flowers and our homemade pottery. It was such a thoughtful touch that made our night truly unforgettable. We can't wait to come back to Briquettes!"

    The yellowfin tuna tartare, firecracker tuna tacos, and BBQ shrimp were very fresh and delicious. The complimentary biscuits were served right out the oven and cooked to perfection. I was blown away at how good the Golden Beet salad was, and it was perfect paired with the Scalibut and Parmesan crusted sheepshead. I was pleasantly surprised with the entree fish portion sizes and to top it off, our waiter, Cardale, was phenomenal!
