Forest Hill / West Portal​のベストグローバル料理レストラン

Good drinks, friendly service and solid food. Great for a quick dinner out if you are staying at the Double Tree SSF.

The staff was excellent!! Very accommodating and professional.

We went to The Brixton for a Valentine’s Day dinner, and while we have seen this place in the neighborhood for a few years, and longer, this was our first time dining here. They gave my wife a rose, which was a VERY nice touch and this place was packed and everyone was also here for a Valentine’s Day dinner, as to be expected. Being packed, I think, absolutely affected the food quality. It wasn’t bad, and it wasn’t great either. We ordered cocktails that showed up quickly and we’re very tasty. Our appetizers were a spinach and artichoke dip, which was very tasty. The kale caesar salad with lima beans was good. My wife ordered the baked chicken which was lovely. I ordered the filet mignon - medium rare. It came out medium well. Despite sitting literally next to the kitchen, I saw how backed up it was and didn’t have the heart to send it back. The back-of-house resembled an episode from “The Bear”, because it was that busy. I just wish I got a steak knife and our server was so swamped, I couldn’t catch her to get one. I would like to point out that our server was as sweet as can be, along with the other staff handling our food. I think the biggest miss of the night was when we ordered dessert, and it was the sundae. I think it took us anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour to get it. I mean we didn’t mind because it allowed us to stretch out our date, yet didn’t The Brixton want to turn over our table? They could have easily asked us if we wanted more cocktails while we waited, and we would have absolutely ordered more, because why not?. This would have resulted in ordering something with higher profit margins and they could have then comp’d us on the sundae for the long wait, which would have changed the trajectory of this review, and of the immediate possibility of giving this place another try. Would I go back to The Brixton? Maybe. I’ll give them a little grace for being busy. Just a few miscues altered my overall impression & experience.
