Reviews
The ambiance was upscale, elegant, and absolutely immaculate, and the service was genuinely warm and attentive. You can tell right away that they care about every detail.
We started with the Wagyu Tasting Board, and that alone set the tone for an incredible date night. It comes with several cuts of Wagyu and a Blackstone so you can season and cook the meat yourself- such a fun, interactive, and delicious experience. Honestly, it was a highlight on its own.
For the main, my girlfriend and I shared the 40oz tomahawk and a lobster tail. Both came out exactly as requested and were phenomenal. The steak (we ordered medium) was incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked- it genuinely didn’t need butter or extra seasoning. It was outstanding on its own.
My girlfriend travels frequently for work and has tried high-end steakhouses all over the country, and even she said this is her new favorite steakhouse, which says a lot.
I also have to mention the lobster- perfectly seasoned, tender, and a very generous portion. And if your partner loves taking food photos like mine does, Brinkley’s absolutely delivers on presentation. Every plate that came out looked picture-perfect.
We left seriously impressed and already talking about our next visit. I cannot wait to go back!
Unfortunately, the seating arrangement took away from the experience. The table we were given was so close to the one next to us that another guest’s back kept hitting our table. For a dinner that totaled a little over $500, I’ve expected a more comfortable and spacious ambiance. A bit more room between tables would have made the evening feel much more enjoyable.
My steak was good but not great, I would skip the suggested “char” in the future… it gave an unpleasant bitterness to portions of the steak. The potato croquette is a great side and I strongly recommend it.
The dry-aged steak neither smelled nor tasted dry-aged and was barely seasoned. Ironically, the least expensive steak on the table was noticeably better. The risotto was overwhelmed by scalded peppers and corn and tasted more like a confused rice pilaf. The pork chop was poorly seasoned and buried under citrus that felt like it was there to hide the lack of flavor. Dessert missed the mark entirely. The banana split used underripe bananas, which is hard to excuse.
Service was the one bright spot. Staff were polite, attentive, and food arrived in a reasonable time.
At this price point, the food quality should be exceptional. Instead, it felt closer to Logan Roadhouse execution at fine-dining prices. This meal fell well short of expectations.
The diver scallops with cauliflower puree and artichoke were delightful, while the beef tartare with bone marrow fell flat—it lacked flavor and didn’t meet expectations. Desserts were a mixed experience; both the bread pudding and tiramisu tasted good, but the small serving size of the tiramisu, given its price, was disheartening.
The atmosphere was ok—it was overly dark, and the restaurant was filled with smoke, which made ventilation an issue. Unfortunately, we left smelling like smoke. Overall, the food had highs and lows, but the standout service would keep me considering another visit.
The waitress we had snatched a plate from my sisters hand, tried to convince our party to order more food multiple times, tried to convince our party to order drinks (also multiple times), and by the end of the meal had a disrespectful attitude.
The atmosphere was great when our reservation began at 8:30PM. THEN, around 9:30PM a worker began sweeping… that is to be expected at my local Mexican restaurant but not at a Chop House with high prices.
