This place was recommended to us by a couple of our acquaintances. We have a couple of other favorites in Kensington so we didn't make it here - until last Saturday. I will say that Brasserie far exceeded our expectations. I had the duck which was melt in your mouth moist. My wife had the filet mignon and it was equally delicious. We paired them with a Melon de Bourgogne - a grape neither of us had ever had before. It held up very well even with the beef! Service was competent and friendly but not overly so. Highly recommend.
