    There's a reason people keep coming back to The Brixton. Maybe it's the $10 craft cocktails shaken with care. Maybe it's the $6 craft beers, always cold and always on point. Maybe it's the $10 wines that taste like a splurge. Or maybe it's our menu of tasty bites, the friendly faces behind the bar, and the feeling that you've just walked into your favorite neighborhood spot.

    We had Sunday brunch and appreciated being able to get a reservation. Would have appreciated decaf coffee but realize not everyone has it! The food was very good, including frittata, avocado toast, standard breakfast (with good hash browns) and French dip.

    The Brixton was exactly what my husband and I enjoy about a restaurant. Very inviting atmosphere, very interesting bar in the middle of the restaurant (I wish we had sat at the bar but a table was waiting for us) the cocktails were spot on, a whiskey sour for me and a Manhattan for my hubby, both served very chilled and delicious! We chose small bites and each one delivered very timely and presented in such a charming way. Deviled eggs with bourbon bacon was beyond delicious, as was ichi bon sushi, served with soy sauce and chop sticks and delightfully stacked and again delicious! Lastly the Korean short ribs were finger lickin good because the sauce was so tasty and the meat so tender. We were eating on the early side (6:30) and surprised that the restaurant wasn’t packed with people but hopefully in San Francisco style, people showed up for late dinner and drinks. We will be back, great service, excellent food and drinks!

    Service was excellent and attentive. Appetizer-Spicy Tuna and Dessert-Creme Brulee were amazing. My fellow patrons enjoyed the crispy chicken sandwich and burger and said they were very good. I found the french dip too sweet for my taste. I love carmelized onions, but they made the sandwich too sweet. So can't say it was an execution issue, but an ingredient issue. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to The Brixton and will go back.

    Redo and clean the restroom better. Nothing worse than going to a good restaurant and seeing dirty old restrooms. Makes you think about there kitchen cleaning habits.

    Good food. Soccer game going on so was kinda loud but the hostess when learning we were not there for the game set us up front so the noise wasn’t as bad. We could hear each other talk. Our server was very good!! Would go there again.
