    Brunch at B19 is always terrific with creative cocktails, delicious entrees and appetizers, flawless service that is attentive without being intrusive, and it’s great for people (and dog) watching.

    My second trip here wasn't as pleasant as the first. I don't recall the noise level and atmosphere being so loud and abrupt. Food was fine. Deviled eggs with salmon was really good. The escargot had one of the 6 MIA. The duck was good. However, for the price, I wouldn't do it again. Disappointed in this visit and probably won't be back anytime soon.

    Loved our evening at Brasserie 19. Beef carpaccio is the best in town. Energetic crowd, good vibe, and great food. Our only complaint was the AC. Perhaps it was the specific table we were at, because we were really cold when it kicked on. Looking forward to the next time.

    This is our second time at this restaurant and we walked away with mixed feelings. The service, and the awareness of the staff for their customers is fantastic. We were seated at a noisy area near the bar, and one of the waiters immediately realized we were not too pleased and took us to another table, much quieter. Our waiter Paul, was excellent. The issue was the food. We started with French Onion soup and Caesar salad,w both very good. The dressing on the salad is just right and my wife was very pleased with the soup. We then had the Tuna Tartar and the Pork. My wife enjoyed the tuna very much, excellent if one is looking for a lighter meal. The issue was the pork, half of which was under cooked (you do not serve pork rare, i.e. pink on the inside; not ideal). I ate the cooked part and left the under cooked portions. I pointed out to Paul, who mentioned it to the kitchen. Immediately a young lady came out and asked if I wanted something else. This is service, great service and I give the restaurant kudos for that. I said no and we moved on to dessert, chocolate mousse, which I recommend. The restaurant did not bill me for the pork, again showing their dedication to service. We still left a decent tip, mainly because their service was worth it. If you go, stay away from the pork. Note also, this place is noisy, and on a decent evening, seat outside. The night we went was too windy.

    Excellent wine menu at all price levels and wonderful service. The charcuterie board was a great starter for the table; carpaccio tender and flavorful. The birthday girl at our table didn't like one of the dishes she ordered (gnocchi with rabbit confit) and the treasure of a waiter comped it! We have and will continue to frequent B19.

    I wish the music was turned down a bit. It was hard to talk with the people at my table even though we were only a table of four.
