    Our Christmas dinner at Brickmans Restaurant & Bar was truly delightful! The location itself is charming, but the festive Christmas decorations elevated the ambiance, creating a warm and inviting holiday atmosphere. We opted for the pre-fix dinner, and it was absolutely worth every penny. The meal was not only delicious but also perfectly portioned and shareable, making it ideal for a family gathering. Dining at 5 PM allowed us to enjoy a relaxed and unhurried experience, soaking in the festive vibes. The restaurant is incredibly family-friendly, making it a perfect spot to gather with both friends and loved ones during the holidays. The excellent customer service was the cherry on top—attentive, warm, and professional throughout our meal. Overall, Brickmans Restaurant & Bar provided us with a memorable Christmas dining experience, and we can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to celebrate in a cozy and welcoming setting.

    Great experience for the holidays with the Miracle on Brickmans theme. The food was great and energy level overall was super festive. It was packed so there were some service opportunities but overall….great job!

    Made a reservation and didn’t know to specify inside so we showed up and they seated us outside which was not as festive as inside( this is why I made a reservation to sit inside and enjoy the Christmas decorations. )We were disappointed to say the least. The service was not good either so, I give it a 2 star . If we sat inside, the rating would be higher but, the service I still rate low. Not a cheerful vibe at all from even the manager…

    First of all, the Christmas decor is outstanding making you feel festive from the moment you enter the restaurant. Despite the crowd, service was excellent thanks to Vlad who brought drinks promptly (the Rose was delicious) The food came out hot and it was an amazing brunch of smoked salmon, the Benny (Eggs Benedict their way!), and an Egg Sandwich. Followed all this up with a double espresso and you have an amazing brunch. I highly recommend!

    It was great. Unfortunately, it was Hard to get an outdoor spot, but the indoor one worked out nicely.

    Prices have risen, since name change from “The Grill,” but so has the venue’s appearance, food quality and service. I’ll visit less often, due to prices, but I’ll consider Brickmans for special meals, such as my recent birthday dinner. Really great experience!

    We were seated quickly, and someone gave us water immediately. It took about 40 minutes to even be acknowledged by our waitress. When she came over she asked if we’ve even been helped yet—and she was shocked when we said no because she “saw us sitting there for a long time”. Food was mediocre & the drinks were just ok. Probably wouldn’t go back.
