While I’m waiting for my son’s car to get an oil change today, I’m making some progress on clearing out my unfinished review drafts—34 left to tackle after this one! I’ve sampled a few items from the menu. The Brussels sprouts were a popular choice, but they didn't quite suit my taste. The cheese curds were enjoyable, although I still think Craftsman takes the crown in that category. The tacos were decent, but I struggled to pick a favorite. I wasn’t particularly keen on the fish taco, probably because it was deep-fried—an ironic comment considering I just praised the cheese curds. The charcuterie board stands out as one of my favorite dishes from my visits. The brisket sandwich was divine, and the chicken wings were phenomenal, making me feel like I was soaring. I tried the beet salad, which I wouldn’t have ordered on my own, but my ex had chosen it, and it looked too pretty not to sample. I wanted to finish her portion, but she wouldn’t allow it. I can’t recall what else I ordered, but it clearly didn’t leave a strong impression. This restaurant is a popular spot for good reason!

I enjoyed a meal here, and I found the prices to be quite reasonable, falling in the range of $10 to $20 per person. If you visit, I highly recommend trying the Fish and Chips – it was absolutely fantastic! Overall, a great place to eat that offers a good value for your money.

The sour flavors were fantastic, but I was really disappointed that they didn't offer tasting flights. read more The sour flavors were fantastic, but I was really disappointed that they didn't offer tasting flights.

Our server was phenomenal the only complaint was that we received our appetizers before our beverages, although I 'm still notsure whether or not we should have self served , as all their drinks are available in a refrigerated beer shop style case forpeople to purchase. It 'd be nice if the serving staff mentioned if it was okay to just grab your own or if that 's expected. Itseems like more of a communal place so I 'm sure it 'd probably be fine. For my lunch I had a trio of tacos and some fries andboth were fantastic. We will definitely be back, hopefully bringing some friends!

Well written menu. Food very poorly executed. We ate frequently at Brasserie V, had high hopes, but not even OK, ie really dry burgers. Kidney beans seemingly straight from a can. 4 meals, 4 disappointed customers. But beer is really good, somaybe worth a beer stop.
