We came in on the off season and just before dinner. We were greeted immediately and were seated immediately. Our food we received was flavorful. We w we really immediately impressed. I had the salad with a chicken add on. The salad I had was very flavorful, the corn added a touch of coolness, which I liked. My partner had the jalapeño burger with truffle fries, the fries were surprisingly flavorful as well. If you want a good meal at a good price, thisbis the place to come.

Outstanding place to eat! I highly recommend eating here, if you are in the area. We went on a Friday evening in August. It was busy. We sat at the bar until our table was ready. Service and atmosphere were great! I had the Pimento Cheese Burger with Truffle Fries. Both were outstanding. My wife got a salad and the Brussel Chips. Again, outstanding! Warning, everything had a little bit of a kick (spicy), but was great!

Really nice restaurant with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The old wood and brick really add to the ambience and the overall food experience. They offer quality, inspired dishes that do not disappoint. I’d recommend some dishes, but it’s best to try what looks good to you… They have something for everybody. The bartenders definitely know how to make a nice drink, including many classic cocktails. Highly recommended.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and service was swift and attentive. Makenna, our server, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and on top of everything.
I started with the Peach Bees Knees cocktail, made with gin, a peach liqueur, and honey simple syrup. It was absolute perfection. The gin’s strong bite was hidden under a perfectly balanced mix of flavors—neither too sweet nor too strong. I enjoyed it so much that I drank it quicker than expected and wanted to order a second, but our meals arrived so promptly that I decided to hold off (I personally prefer not to drink cocktails alongside my entrée).
For our appetizer, my friend and I shared the Ahi Tuna Nachos. The freshness of the tuna surprised me, especially considering we weren’t near the coast. Served on large, crisp wonton chips and topped with avocado, cucumber, and a sweet soy glaze, each bite was flavorful and satisfying. The chips were quite large—about the size of my hand—which made them a bit tricky to eat gracefully. When they broke apart, I happily switched to using a fork. Despite the minor messiness, this is a dish I’d order again every time.
For my entrée, I chose the Garlic Soy Salmon served over noodles. While the menu listed udon noodles, they were actually thinner ramen-style noodles. Initially, I was a little disappointed—but that feeling vanished as soon as I tasted them. They were flavorful and cooked perfectly. The salmon itself was fully cooked (not medium or medium-well as I usually prefer), but it was incredibly tender and melt-in-your-mouth soft. I’m still wondering if it was steamed—it was that good. I will say—I think the only thing that could improve is having traditional udon noodles in the meal! (The only reason I rated the food 4-Star is because the menu was a tad misleading about the noodles.)
To end the meal, I ordered the Chocolate Bomb—a rich chocolate cake layered with chocolate ganache and paired with fresh berries. It was decadent and left me wanting just one more bite. I also stole a couple of bites from my friend’s cannolis, which had a whipped filling that was light, smooth, and perfectly sweet.
Overall, I’m impressed with this restaurant. This was actually my second visit in the same week, and both times were equally enjoyable. It’s safe to say I’ll be coming back again.

Filet was so dry and so was the Jamaican me crazy pork , it was like they were boiled, dont waste your time go straight for the ahi tuna nachos, we got 2 orders the rest of it was awful. 45 dollars for the Filet was terrible deal please do not waste your money. Old fashioned and bees knees were good. Definitely not worth 165 dollars.

This little diamond in the rough was recommended to us. We loved everything about this restaurant. The staff, the atmosphere and most importantly the food! It was outstanding. The food & beverage options are excellent & meets the desires of any age, any pallet. The place was packed as we got there around 6pm. We sat at the bar for about 20 minutes but it went by quickly. The bar staff is very personable. The price is worth every penny. You can absolutely tell the chef takes great pride in the quality and creativity of every dish served. We will absolutely go again & would absolutely take family & friends.

We had the crab ragoon flat bread, steak and seafood mac. It was very good. Had a few drinks, you can’t go wrong with the smoked cherry coke. Great atmosphere, clean and good service. We visit family in Alpena a few times a year and always try something different. Red Brick is our new favorite. We will be back.

Gluten Free is The gluten-free options at this restaurant are exceptional. If gluten-free wasn’t marked on the menu, you’d never guess the food was gluten-free. The attention to detail in each dish is remarkable, demonstrating the staff’s expertise and commitment to quality. The unique drinks are also a standout feature. It’s impressive to find such high-caliber dining in a Northern town—who would have thought you’d need to head up North for great food! I can’t recommend it enough.

The food was great and I love the variety that they have. The ravioli was amazing and I loved the cheese filling. The desserts were also phenomenal, the skillet brownie had good texture and taste and the cannolis also tasted fresh!

Gluten free at home Motz sticks are unreal, they should be featured. Corn dip didn’t last 5 mins, they should make the portion larger it’s amazing.
Bartender was phenomenal, we tried most of the cocktails. Waitstaff not so great, hard to catch one and spent the 3ish hours we were there sitting at the bar talking to each other ignoring guests. The food and drinks made up for the front of house staff though.
