Brenner Pass - Richmond

My go to fine dining establishment in Richmond. They always knock it out of the park, from the atmosphere and drinks to the service and food! We went to celebrate my new job. ???? Again, the food was absolutely fantastic! I especially loved the veal with the citrus herb gremolata on top; steak was fall off the bone tender and the surrounding gravy flavorful. The chicken liver mousse appetizer was a bit smoky for my tastes but beautifully plated and interesting. Be sure tosnag a reservation in advance, as they fill up fast even on weekdays!

This is a great special date night place. I love the small plates but save some room for the entrées. The Tartiflette was amazing. Thinly sliced potatos in a cast iron dish. Creamy and the bacon comes thru nicely. Wife ordered the duck. I don't like duck that much but i would definitely order this dish. Tender, well seasoned and not too gamey. I had the Pork Loin. OMG. The fingerling potatoes were to die for. Barely had any room for dessert. I would love tosit at the bar next time.

Fantastic food and Grant was so kind, fun and helpful. If your visiting out of town and looking for something Michelin star quality for an affordable price, come here! Great representation of alpine fresh food!!!

Overall, the experience at Brenner Pass was stellar. The staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and they were wonderful at recommending dishes. The interior was gorgeous and modern (especially the bar) with earth tones, greys, and light wood. It's also very spacious inside so at no point do you feel cramped or uncomfortable. The cocktails we ordered were the Coy Mistress, Wasenhorn: From Ashes and Some Kind of Wonderful. The Some Kind of Wonderful cocktail was thestar of the show for me because the clarified milk punch felt like drinking velvet and tasted almost like the best lemon bar you've ever had with a hint of dill. For dinner we had the focaccia, fried oysters, tartiflette, asparagus risottoand nettle agnolotti. Everything was pretty much mind blowing but I will say we were both slightly let down by the risotto. I think the flavor was supposed to be quite delicate and subtle, but the contrast against the other dishes whichwere jam packed with flavor made it seem a bit underwhelming but still very good! The tartiflette made me think of childhood, as well as the urge to go camping and do some cast iron cooking over a fire, basically it was the best cheesypotato gratin I've ever had. The fried oysters were perfection, especially the base of roasted onion aioli. We wanted to fit in some dessert but just didn't have any room left. I can't wait to visit Brenner Pass again and I look forward totheir seasonal menu changes.

Brenner pass is consistently one of the best meals out there. this time i called ahead to let them know it was my fiancÃ’s bday bc it’s his favorite restaurant and they made it SO special for him. every person working there is so sweet! every bite is beyond delicious and the cocktail menu is as good as any fancy bar out there.
