    This was our first time at Brenner's. The food and the service were excellent. The waiter acknowledged our Anniversary and congratulated us several times. The steaks were cooked perfectly. And while they are a sister restaurant to Mastro's (which we enjoy), I'd say these steaks were even better than the great steaks we had at Mastro's. The waiter also gave us a special complimentary anniversary brownie a la mode dessert in addition to the creme brulee we ordered. I haven't been back to this location since it was Rainbow Lodge, but I like what Brenner's did with the decor and the overall look of the restaurant.

    The steak was good. My expectations was too high. I can say otherwise the steak was okay. If I’m going to eat in a restaurant with such good ambience and service. The customers should keep their tone down when dining at brenners. Our experience is not what i expected it to be. The customers right next to us was too loud. It’s like were in a fish market eating our steak.

    The Lobster Thermidor was absolutely exquisite—rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. The Brussels sprouts were decent, though not particularly memorable. Unfortunately, the mac and cheese fell flat; it lacked the creaminess and depth I was hoping for.

    Went here for an 8pm dinner for my girlfriends birthday. Food and drinks are very delicious. The potatoes au gratin, steaks, brussels sprouts and peppercorn sauce were fabulous food items. For drinks, the spicy mango mezcal Rita is tasty. Services is impressive, always replacing utensils/plates. Our server Anna was wonderful. Can’t wait to return!
