I wasn't sure what to think of Brisam's at first. It definitely has a local Cave Creek kind of vibe, laidback and possibly a little hole in the wall.
I'm glad we went. The food was really good! I got the mahi tacos and my boyfriend ordered the sausage garlic pizza, substituting sundried tomatoes for mushrooms. We really enjoyed both, but the best part was the appetizer - Cajun shrimp in a spicy oil. Just excellent. Its probably a good thing, but I wish they had included more bread to dip into the oil :)
The only complaint was that it seemed a little cramped inside (we sat on the patio instead) and their happy hour prices weren't anything outstanding. If I remember, it was $1 off drinks. Overall very pleasant though, and the service was above par. It seemed like our waitress cared about the restaurant and her customers a lot, which is always nice to see.
