Authentic brasserie food in a cozy setting. We were the first ones for dinner, and immediately the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Ordered the Brussels sprouts salad, then had steak frites and moules frites, two classics. Having worked in a brasserie for five years, I can say that they definitely got these right. The wine and garlic sauce with the mussels was just right, and the fries were crisped to perfection. So good that I forgot to take a picture of them. With just enough space left, our waiter convinced us to order a couple macarons, which were just as good as everything else. Top notch

Had a great dinner here. Lovely decor. Good bar and tables too. Mussels were excellent and the fries may have been the best I’ve ever had. Loved the steak tartar. The scallops were also very good, but could have been slightly crispier on the outside. Love the fresh sides (corn and tomato). Good selection of tap beers and cocktails. They gave us masks because we forgot them. Can also do outdoor seating

Nice little gem in a great location. My husband and I shared the roasted beet salad which was so perfectly seasoned and fresh that I could have made that my dinner. However, I am glad that I didn’t miss the crispy scallops because they were cooked to that delicious creamy stage and served on a tasty celery root puree. We were too full to try dessert. Staff is friendly and helpful, cocktails were very well made and the interior of the restaurant is simple, bright, modern without being sterile. We would absolutely go back to this restaurant.

Very good luncheon. The muscles were exceptionally good and there were a lot of them. The french fries are perfect, crispy on the outside and soft in the center, hot with a I saw that beats ketchup by far.

The food was tasty. My husband loved the trout special and my mushroom Wellington was good, too. Everything else was sub-par though. It was stuffy and smelled weird – kinda like a locker room. The upholstered bench seating was absolutely filthy. And they were out of about a quarter of their drink menu. I expected better for the prices.

Sierra was the redeeming feature of our experience. The food was good – definitely recommend the bread as an appetizer – but our server was an excellent representative of the restaurant. They were out of several things, but she gave us advance notice and helped us select alternative options. Each entree was delicious, especially the scallops and the chicken special. Sierra’s recommendations carried the meal

I had a fantastic time at Brasserie. Seated at the bar, our bartender Jason provided exceptional service and impressively extensive knowledge of the wine selection. Every dish we ordered was outstanding. I am eagerly anticipating my next visit!

Hanging with the bros? Then keep walking to Citizen Burger. But if you care at all about details then you have to try Brasserie Saison.

Arrived with our group of 10 at the time of our reservation to be told they had canceled our reservation due to lack of staff. They had not given us any notice. We asked for help or guidance for finding another restaurant that could accommodate our large group on a Saturday night. Hostess was rude and unaccomodating. While I understand things happen, the situation could have been handled so much better. Neighboring restaurants were more sympathetic and helpful to our group in providing suggestions and helping us find a place to eat.
