The Brass Rail

I was looking for a nice restaurant on a Sunday evening with outdoor seating and stumbled across this restaurant. They had a cute set up around the corner of their restaurant with lights that light up after the sun sets. You have to go inside their restaurant with your mask to request table but it's no problem and we were seated immediately. They also have bathrooms inside but you must wear your mask! But you can take it off once you are seated at your table. Menus are available on your phone after you scan the QR code and the waitress/waiter will take your order in person. | ORDERS | Miso Mustard Glazed Baby Back - this was an appetizer which is amazing. 10/10 would order again. Brie & Truffle Honey Risotto - got the large size; flavorful and nice creamy texture, great choice. Grilled Brass Rail Burger - great burger but the buns were a little thick so it was eaten with half the bun haha and was good. Nutella Creme Brulee - I absolutely love Nutella so I naturally loved this. A good way to end my meal and was a decent size as well. Overall, really enjoyed my experience and would definitely make another visit.

Brass Rail really surprised me. What seemed like a mostly unassuming restaurant bar, really served top notch, quality meals. Even something as simple as wings, the Buffalo chicken lollipops were topped and cooked with some herbs like thyme and really added a floral touch to the dish. The gnocchi was also amazingly indulgent. The last dish was average but the other two were so stellar I have to leave 5 stars.

We went here on a Thursday. We made reservations just in case. We were greeted bu a nice lady and showed to our tables. The cocktail selection is okay. We went classic and ordered classic mojito and mango margarita. The drinks took a while to come. For starters we ordered house made ricotta, it was the highlight of the night. Its one of the best ricotta I have tried. Being vegetarian we had limited options for entrees. We ordered kale and crispy chickpea salad which was fine and vegan pad thai which was sub par. It was a little to salty and oily. It lacked the pad thai flavours. The second round of drinks took equally long. All in all it was alright but won’t be visiting again just coz we’re vegetarians. If you like meat this place is worth a shot

THANK YOU!! I messaged Brass Rail very last minute a few days before Christmas Eve, having to quarantine for Christmas my SO and I still wanted a festive meal but without having to order a ton of different ingredients and cook when not feeling well. The team at the Brass Rail was phenomenal - they fit us into their list for a meal we only had to heat up. They even offered to deliver the food to us!! This picture doesn't show how phenomenal everything was, nor how much they included. We had a delicious Christmas ham dinner and a chicken that we think was sous-vided bc it was just SO juicy even after being microwaved. This is after the salad that was jam packed with flavor and texture, a light but hearty chestnut soup, and when a personal charcuterie set up for each of us! But my favorite part didn't even have a chance to get pictured as we dove in so fast- the dessert and omg.. we split a fruit cake bread pudding and a pear crisp, both served with a creme anglaise and what almost tasted like a gingerbread caramel. The crisp had perfectly cooked pears balanced with a not-too-sweet crumb topping that was jam packed with winter flavors (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, maybe a dash of cardamom?) and the bread pudding was rich but light in texture and soaked up the crème anglaise. In the end we even had enough for Christmas lunch leftovers! Truly happy and appreciative of how much the Brass Rail put care into these dishes, I hope you know the impact it brought to an otherwise potentially sad occasion being alone at the holidays- so thank you and we hope to be back and in person soon!!!

Despite being short staffed, specifically with waiters / waitresses last night, the Brass Rail delivered. The waitress hustled attending to an outside environment of customers, full house inside, and to us upstairs. The food was worth the wait as always. The grilled chicken sandwich is one of the best I have ever had. Fresh ingredients. Flavorful. Filling. Enough said.

We had such a good time we came here for brunch and had such a wonderful experience. The staff was amazing and we were seating upstairs quickly. We had awesome drinks and a great server who took the time to give us his real option and I love that. He was awesome and the brunch menus was great we had great options and everyone found something they would enjoy. The food portions were great as well. All the staff was friendly wearing masks and gloves. The tables were all distant and very covid friendly. I honestly ended up spending less than I thought I would. We did make a reservation for 12 which was opening and it was definitely had people coming in. It is a place that we would come back to again. I really enjoyed my whole experience. Thanks again for such a great time we will see you soon.

I’ve visited this spot on and off for years. They’re doing something right & upped their game. Menu on point. Manager stopped by to see how meal was, his name is Edwin. Very personable! From one restaurant manager to another you made my fiancé and our friends feel welcome. Service was great too. We will be coming back more frequently again. Thanks Brass Rail Team!
