   I’ve been to The Brookdale a few times and have always enjoyed the experience. On my most recent visit, I was a bit disappointed. First, I was looking forward to my favorite, the White Pizza, and while it was listed on its online menu, it was not available on the menu in house. Second, we ordered the Pastrami Rueben Quesadilla and while crispy, none of the cheese was melted and the middle was cold. Finally, while the dressing on the Greek Salad was “very good” it was terrible value having spent $46 for two salads with grilled chicken. I want to give this spot another chance as it’s been a previous favorite, but not for a while.

   I live in town and always liked The Brookdale. I had not been there in a while. The premio egg rolls have become much smaller. Out of the list of beers they only had 3. 3 of us ordered the burger and only one came out with everything on it. The other 2 had to ask for the onions after their food came out. The bathrooms were dirty. I was disappointed as I really like this restaurant.

   This was our first visit, which has established The Brookdale as our northern destination when meeting up with our friend. The menu had plenty of choices for every palate. Our selections included: The Big Sexy (50/50 ground bacon & beef), Tuna Tacos, Chicken Wings and a Taco Salad with Chicken. Our reservation was for 11:30am, when the restaurant first opened. Since we arrived early, we went next door to the Lady Finger Bakery, which is also under the same owners. Nice selections. It was surprising to see that it was also a bar!

   My husband and I enjoyed our food here. Didn’t like where we sat only because each time the front door opened, a cold blast of air hit us, especially since not all people were considerate enough to make sure the door was closed. Despite that we had a lovely server and our water glasses were always filled.

   Overall, a VERY NICE experience was had by our dinner party! This was our fourth visit to the restaurant and they continue to deliver good food, great drinks, and great service! The only call out we had this visit was the EXTREMELY LOUD party by the bar who were watching a game on the television- they should have been more respectful to the remaining restaurant patrons, especially on a Friday night! At the end of the day, minus the noisy patrons, our dinner party were pleased with our experience.
