    The staff at The Brasseye were so accommodating, and the service was impeccable. I had reached out to the manager concerning an Ice Haus reservation, and he indicated to me that if they were still constructed since it was the beginning of March, he would try to accommodate my group. Upon arrival to The Junto, I addressed this with the hostess, and the manager, Michael Thesing, immediately came over and kept his word. I find it rare at this day and age to have a staff, let alone a manager, act with such kindness, attentiveness, and care. I will absolutely be back to The Brasseye, as it will be my preferred choice in hosting out of town guests from this point forward. Thank you, again, to the staff at The Brasseye, for the hospitality and kindness. The service was unmatched.

    Great atmosphere! Cory was our server and he was very attentive and answered all of our food questions. I would love to come back when the weather is better and it's open air. Lincoln Social was a great place to celebrate a birthday and happy hour.
