Came tonight for Valentine’s Day and it was quite disappointing. I felt really bad for my partner who found this place and was soo excited about it to only be thoroughly let down. We got seated in a side room behind the bar. It was basically a hallway with booth/bench seating along the wall, with smaller wooden chairs opposing it. The tables were pretty dinky and the man who was seated to the table next to us came in and loudly said, wow they really pack ya in here! There’s only about 6-9 inches between tables. I had to really squeeze myself between tables to sit. Fortunately, no one was seated next to us yet, but when another couple next to us came, we did move our table over for her to fit through.
As for the meal, they really want you to get the bottled still water (probably cause there’s an up charge on it), but they dont really up sell cocktails. We had to ask our server if we could order some since she never asked. They took a while and came after we started eating our starters. You should bring your own water if you think you’ll need a refill. We had empty glasses for more than half the meal.
…But the starters were good! We did the oysters which were great, the octopus, which was the highlight of our meal, and the escargot which was fine; we’ve had better elsewhere. They were kinda jumbled, like none in some of the divots, but then 1 or 2 in the others.
We opted to split an entree and got the duck breast. It was not good for duck breast, but good enough to eat. Ten minutes after ordering it, our server came by with someone behind her and she asked “what temperature did you want your duck,” which ive never been asked before.. the man she was with stepped in and said the recommended is medium, to which we agreed to. When it came, we were surprised about the taste. It legit tasted like ham and it was sooo chewy. They also expect you to cut it was a butter knife lol. The table to my left also got it and said it was good, but had an interesting smokiness to it and also thought it was way too chewy. Then the table to my right also go it! I was eavesdropping and his partner (who was 4 inches away from me) asked him if it was supposed to taste like that (he said i dont think so) and told him he should really order something else (he said no tho).
For dessert, no idea. We were never offered a menu. We waited a little more than 20 minutes before hunting down our server for the check. We ended up staying for 2 hours, mostly just waiting. My partner then told me someone had called to confirm our reservation and asked that we keep our dinner to an hour and a half. What a joke. I was glad to not get the dessert menu, especially since someone near us said “weird, there aren’t any French desserts on here.” Not sure why this place is so highly rated.

Came here for my 39th birthday with my two friends and it was a lovely quiet Wednesday night! Truly a treat felt like we had the place to ourselves but there was a good amount of people there. The ambience was amazing, the food spectacular! The wine selection was amazing as well! Our server chris was amazing! Please come here for a birthday or date! What a treat

Stayed in the area and had a Valentine’s dinner here. I had made a reservation in mid-January, and after confirming online I also had to confirm over phone, but the reservation itself was fine. Somewhat of putting, I was told if you’re not there within 20 minutes we’ll give your table away and we try to have people seated for about 90 minutes (but really it’s fine, just little off kilter).
We were seated within 10 minutes of the reservation. The atmosphere is tight, but pretty nice, and you can hear each other pretty well. The food was pretty good, not exceptional, but they have many options and for the most part it was good (full detail: oysters great, escargot okay, octopus really good, duck breast was okay).
Ultimately the flaw was slow, inattentive service. Our drinks came after appetizers. They were very quick to try and clear appetizer plates away, but once we got our entrees we never saw the server again. No more water, no more drinks, no dessert menu, (okay, I guess check and we’ll be in our way). The prices are not crazy, but there was definitely more to be desired. There’s a lot of good food seemingly around, but Brasserie 292 just didn’t meet our expectations.

We came for dinner after the 2025 State of the City at the Bardavon. Drinks were very good, so many selections to choose from. The food tasted and looked great. Our server was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. We all commented on how great he was.

This place is class and chill and wonderful. Went there with my amazing husband on an adventure and WAS. NOT. DISAPPOINTED. The staff was kind but more importantly, the staff was OUTSTANDING. The oysters were so out of this world that we ordered 12 and then ordered 12 more. We went there at Christmas time and the place is decorated so wonderfully festive and spectacular that it made such a spectacular night for us that we can’t wait to go back again tomorrow.

First off. Phenomenal.
Came with my wife in the middle of winter and sat at the bar.
I was a bit worried having fresh oysters and seafood so far away from the ocean, but they were even fresher than being right next to the shore!!
One dozen oysters, didn’t do it. Two dozen oysters… Phenomenal. I don’t even understand how they were able to get this shrimp cocktail so extremely fresh. If Nicole is your bartender your experience will be unforgettable.
Atmosphere is out of this world and the staff is fantastic. You’re missing out not going here.

Our waitress is very friendly. She told us their special which was quite a few. We had order escargot which was missing a piece. We told our waitress and the piece was replaced with additional 2 more. That’s was nice. My spinach that came with my trout dish was a bit salty but in general food was great

Paid $15 for a small bowl of microwaved seafood bisque. It was clearly nuked for 5 minutes and tasted like it too. After that, I didn’t have high hopes for the rest of the dinner, as it was very forgettable and highly overpriced for the quality of food you receive. Service and ambiance were the exceptions, however, they won’t be enough to have me return.

We came in from South Florida not expecting too much. We had cocktails at the bar with Nicole and they were amazing. Nicole’s service and attentiveness was outstanding. We were seated and served by the best staff ever. I need to call them each out by name as they made the evening most enjoyable. Nicolas, Justin, Jessica, Jesse, Hanna Cristian and Kevin. THE BEST SERVICE!!! We had a delicious sea bass and my wife had the short rib. Dessert included warm chocolate cake. One of the best meals and service we have had in a while.
