    We had an amazing experience with Four Bricks. The food was delicious we shared the chicken Parmesan and vodka pasta with a side of mashed potatoes. The potatoes were probably the best I’ve ever had. They were like plush clouds in my mouth just absolutely delicious. The chicken Parmesan was perfect too. I don’t even like chicken like that but I was craving that dish for some reason so we ordered it. And let me tell you it did not disappoint. Overall our experience was very nice the staff is very friendly and it’s such a clean restaurant. Definitely a new favorite and will be coming back soon.
