While a bit of a higher priced dinning experience (expect to spend $80+ per person), never a bad experience, food is always stellar and the service is excellent. Highly recommend.

Excellent Christmas Eve at The Bryant. From our drinks and appetizers to our entrees and sides, everything was very good. Service was excellent. The restaurant was a few degrees too warm but the pace, service and atmosphere made for a festive evening. Given how chilly it was outside, I'm sure the warmth was welcome to most. I'd recommend coming here for a future Christmas Eve dinner.
