| - Overall Experience: 3.5/5
Had a guest from out of town visiting and decided to take them to Bru Restaurant because I'd heard some great things about it. The Bru Burger was delicious and VERY juicy. Service was okay. When busy, which it was for a Friday Night, the restaurant can get very loud.
Food: 4/5
We started with an appetizer, the Misto Plate (Fried Calimari, Battered Cod, Grilled Chorizo, and Romesco Sauce). Overall it was a very good dish, the Battered Cod was lacking some flavour on its own, but when paired with the sauce it was good. Portion is good for 2-4 people.
I had the Bru Burger with a side of Caesar salad. The Bru Burger was delicious, cooked medium and very juicy. Normally I don't like pickles in my burgers, but it added a nice crunch and wasn't overpowering. The Caesar salad was good and has A LOT of smoked bacon pieces in it.
My friend had the Smoked Turkey Club Sandwich. It had plenty of turkey, and was very smokey from the bacon... something I will try during my next visit at Bru Restaurant.
For 1 starter, 2 entrees and soft drinks for two, our bill was $75 before tax.
Service: 3/5
Service was average. The wait staff are friendly, but it was hard to get their attention when needed. We asked for refills on our beverages while still enjoying our entrees. By the time we finished our meals and were just about to pay for the bill, our drinks arrived.
Atmosphere: 4/5
The atmosphere is very lively and a "hip" spot on a Friday Night. Some families, some couples, some first dates were in attendance. When at full capacity, the restaurant can be very loud. I found myself yelling to the person I was sitting with at times.
Tips & Recommendations:
-Try the Bru Burger
-Soft drink refills are NOT free
-Parking can be very difficult - you may have to park far and walk far
-Lunch Break Friendly? Yes
-Date Friendly? Yes
