Brian's - Lambertville

Price fix menu and BYOB. Cash or venmo only. Great service. The Owner personally checked on us regularly.

We went to Brian’s for dinner Saturday night and we will never go back again. We were not aware until we sat down that dinner was a prefix menu at $70 per person. Portions were average size. We were surprised when we got the bill that there was a $15 upcharge for the steak entree, if it was on the menu then I missed it. I would have thought coffee was included but it was not. The chocolate dessert was that of a tasting size of which we waited nearly 20 minutes and tasted as good as a store bought from McCaffrey’s or Wegman’s. My halibut was ice cold and I had to send it back which meant my companion ate alone for part of his meal. We did not get an “I’m sorry but rather, ok I will get it heated up.” Our server did not even bring our check to us, someone we never saw presented it to us and never asked if she could get us anything else or how was our meal. Not the service level for a $167 bill. Brian’s is a BYOB so that bill is truly for a very disappointing meal. The sad part is that the restaurant has a very unique location and ambiance but at those prices there is too much competition and great restaurants in the area where service and food is consistently good.

Cockroaches running across the tables. Enough said.

We have enjoyed meals at Brian’s before and this was our first time visiting Brian’s at the old Hamilton Grille room. Lovely setting~ small room in back acoustics still loud~ will ask for larger room next time. Attentive and friendly service. Would have preferred her to serve our BYOB wine but we managed. Mushroom soup was large portion and delicious. We all enjoyed our scallops and fish. Steak was the least favorite. I’ve never had oysters served in a bowl before- but they tasted great just weird presentation. Nice touch that they added birthday candle for our celebration. Enjoyed! Cash only and byob.

I would highly recommend Brian’s at the grill. We had a really nice dinner there. I had the red snapper grenobloise, and my girlfriend had the lamb. Don’t miss the bananas foster for dessert. Our server, Patricia was super friendly and added to the pleasant experience.
