    Went on Thanksgiving and though we did not have turkey for dinner the experience was fantastic and the service was just wonderful. Great food, friendly staff, what more could you want. Our table was perfect in a quieter area surrounded by glass, perfect for my hard of hearing father who is 95 years old. Just the perfect evening!

    A lovely meal - portions big enough to split. We had the 22 ounce dry aged T-bone on the hot lava stone. Perfect! Reasonably priced for the Gaslamp.

    The location is amazing. The restaurant is a little dated. The service impeccable. The food was amazing- we ordered salads, appetizers, entrees, dessert, drinks. The only negative were the French fries- there’s nothing positive I can say about the fries. Aside from that, would highly recommend this restaurant for a nice dinner out!

    We almost always have a great time and meal at The Brig , as many of us call it! Three good friends decided to have fun and carefree lunch during the holiday week and Julia, our server put the whole experience over the top with her humor, professionalism, and attention to detail. Give that woman a raise and keep up the great work…and thank you for making our lunch extra special!
