This consistent, high level of quality and overall guest experience over 4 decades has endeared Precinct to celebrities, business people, families, and loyal diners alike.

Our brunch was delicious and it was wonderful to hear a quartet playing in the next room. It was our friends first time in Brew River and they totally enjoyed it.

The service, food, drinks, and overall vibe we IMMACULATE. Our reservations were at 5:30 on a Friday. Scott was our server, he had amazing recommendations and clearly knew about every item on the menu through and through. The cocktails were $12 but WELL worth the price, the Ruby Slipper was so tasty and my fingers tingling after 1! All 4 meals my table had were so wonderfully and carefully crafted. Dessert (beignets and the limited nightly special) tied everything together. 1000/10 would recommend and will be dining there again soon!
