| - With no prior opinion for or against Brewster's, I can't say we attended for any other reason but to celebrate my partner's new job and use a $100 gift card we had won. Upon walking in the door, we were promptly and warmly greeted by a sharply dressed gentleman who escorted us to a booth. After that, we did wait for what seemed like a while before a server came to our table, however when the server did arrive she was very friendly. We came on what was "British Pub Theme Night". As such, we tried their "Pim's and Sprite" drink special. It was actually a very refreshing and delightful surprise, served with cucumber slices. My partner did point out that the theme was not particularly well represented. I ended up opting for the raspberry beer, which was served with fresh berries and was very tasty!
We opted to order appetizers to share; The bacon wrapped sirloin bites, the pretzels and the crab dip. The disappointment of the trio were the bacon wrapped sirloin bites. To be fair, we arrived so starving that it was not an issue with the service, she did check with us fairly promptly to see if everything was ok. The issue was one of kitchen quality control, as 4 of the pieces lacked an essential ingredient of bacon. I also had a different expectation of what we were ordering as, for the same price, Standard Tap House gives you double the number of pieces in a cute wee bucket, and every piece is actually adorned with bacon. As a matter of personal preference, I also did not care for the bites being arranged directly on a ketchup garnish and would have preferred the ketchup along side them on the giant plate, as I utterly loath traditional condiments such as ketchup. My partner found them quite delicious, even "sans" the requisite, name described bacon. Which brings us to the other two appetizers. The pretzels were delicious and paired with a classic combo of a mustard dip, but again, as a person who loathes condiments, the dip was not for me. What was the most delicious treat sensation for me was taking the pretzels and instead of the ordinary, greasy, tortilla chips that came with the crab dip, dipped the warm, chewy pretzels into the crab dip! Yum!!!
It was our first visit here, and overall I really enjoyed the experience. My partner, Dan, feels no need to return (he isn't into "sports bars" and felt that atmosphere unpleasant with a heavy focus on TV's), however I liked the atmosphere and would definitely return. I had to deduct a star for how long we initially waited at the table to be served when the establishment was only moderately busy and appeared to have an abundance of serving staff, and for the significant kitchen failure of forgetting the bacon on half of our "BACON wrapped sirloin bites". The only explanation in my mind is that someone truly didn't feel any pride in the quality of what left the kitchen that day. Our server's absolutely delightful disposition and banter made the wait at first feel not so bad
