Brass Rail Restaurant Bar

A friend and I had dinner here last Friday. We did have a reservation at 6 and were seated promptly with the request that we be done by 8:30 PM because groups were coming in to hear the live music. Our server was attentive and efficient. We were served excellent martinis. We had the fried pot stickers for an appetizer and they were tasty and not greasy at all. My friend had side salad that looked really fresh and I had the cream of tomato soup, which was excellent. My friend 's filet mignon was cooked to order and my tuna poke was very good, the tuna seared well and rare and the rice was especially good. For dessert, my friend had the lava cake with ice cream and I had what was called apple crisp. Although the apple dessert was very good, it was more like an apple streusel cake than a crisp. Two minor comments: the lettuce garnish with the pot stickers was a little wilted and the apple cake should have been served warm. It was very busy, so I was impressed that everything came out right and promptly. We will definitely be back.

The 3 course mother's day specials were amazing. They have a strawberry margarita that is to die for. Service was great. This was a win out of all the times I went out on mother's day this is the best out of 25yrs of mother's days.

I came here to watch my friend perform and brought in my own food because i do not like bar food. I was told I couldn’t bring it in, but they would allow it this time (mind you this was after we had received drinks and they had seen the food we brought in many times). Completely understandable, however i was then told that i would only be allowed to sit here if i tipped the bartender well. I ordered a drink and she said that my drink was only $2 and that this table could’ve gone to another person. I am still a paying customer am i not? The table next to me sat there for 15 minutes with menus before having to ask to place their order, and then being told they didn’t know who their server was. How am I EXPECTED to tip well when the tables around me aren’t even getting service ? Not only that but the server laughed in our faces when we did ask to order something, ignoring our order and saying to just tip well. We never got the chips we asked to order and she complained that one of us had ordered water because it doesn’t cost anything.

We waited a half hour for our drinks and they tasted gross. Our waitress brought our table of 10 one pitcher of water and didn't come back for 20 minutes. That wasn't enough for 5 people to have water let alone 10. The food came out and it was disgusting. The rice was uncle Ben's quality. The pasta was tasteless and the sauce was very weirdly sweet and tasted canned. The live music was pleasant but everything else was horrible. I wouldn't come back.

Best food and service. All the appetizers are delicious and guacamole is fresh.Overall very good place to drink and dine.Service beyond expectations and fully satisfied.
