    Had such a great experience at Brasero! Food and service were top notch! Over 100 bottles to choose from on their wine list and the server was very knowledgeable and able to help pick out a bottle that paired well with our food order. For food we ordered the Salmon Ceviche, Grilled Prawns (never had prawns this flavorful), Pork Fried Rice, Picanha (perfectly cooked and delicious by itself. Really enjoyed it with the vinagrete). The Pork Shank stole the show and was so tender it fell off the bone! Definitely looking forward to coming back!

    Thanksgiving Day-the place was PACKED. We had a reservation and were, surprisingly, seated immediately. Our server, Peter, was phenomenal. Great friendly attitude, brought us things he knew we would need before we asked, made sure we were happy. Meals were served faster than we expected due to the crowd. The turkey dinner portions were huge and delicious. We could not have asked for a better experience!! Will definitely be back!

    We like this restaurant a lot! The location is great. The views are pretty looking out over the golf course. The atmosphere inside is casual, comfortable, airy, bright and not loud. Food and drinks can be hit or miss. Last night most food was very good, except Risotto dish which had no flavor. Wine, beer, Aperol spritz and Vodka sodas were very good. Unfortunately, Vodka Martinis and Manhattan’s were not!
