| - Just, wow...!!
Word of warning: make reservations (even if it's just for 2). We walked in yesterday just after 6pm and while the restaurant was at 1/3 capacity we were asked if we had reservations. No, we didn't. The restaurant filled up shortly after, point taken.
The restaurant itself was very nice, the walls are brick with portions taken out and replaced with tea-light candles. Ladies, the majority of the seating are stools, so bring a purse hanger or it'll end up on the floor. The service was prompt: we got seated quickly, and the waitress came by to take our orders.
Bru has a large craft beer selection, we ordered the Nicklebrook Continental Drift. It had a hoppy citrus taste, yum! For our entrees we ordered the smokey beef brisket sandwich and the bru-itto (a special on the board).
The smokey beef brisket sandwich is phenomenal. I walked in with high expectations (due to all the hype from my coworkers) and it did not disappoint. The sandwich is massive, filled with smoked brisket, corn slaw, pickles and gravy. The combination of smokey, crunchy, and saucy worked so well.
The bru-itto, while more of a wrap then a traditional burrito (had no beans or rice) was delicious as well. It came with pork belly, quesco freshco, pico de gallo, house guac and hot sauce. Both entrees were served with fries and a peppery mayo dipping sauce on the side.
If you're ever in downtown Oakville, this place is right on Lakeshore between Dorval and Trafalgar. It's worth the stop!
