Brasa - Iron steak sandwich - Argentine Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

Amazing experience! The vibe is a nice upscale feel with a touch of casual. This was my second time in 2 weeks and the food was amazing both times. First time had a table and the 2nd was at the bar. Waitress was great, no doubt but eating at the bar.... the bartenders are awesome guys and made you feel like V.I.P. Will go back again and again. I know they just opened and was expecting a few bumps and was keeping an open mind to give it a fair shot but DAYYYYUM! Blown away. You won't regret. Dennis, OCMD Local read more

We had the most wonderful lunch at Brasa in Ocean City! There were four of us, and every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The empanadas were absolutely fabulous--some of the best we've had! Everything was delicious and made for such a memorable lunch. Cana was our waiter and was fabulous. And I have to mention the espresso martini--it was hands down the best espresso martini I've ever had! Congratulations to Anthony as the manager!!! read more

Brasa - Argentine Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

Booked dinner here Thursday night. New place in OCMD this season - a fusion of Argentine grille and pizza and pasta. Cool looking place, large bar area and cool colors with an open kitchen. We were sat immediately and placed a drink order - I went with an old fashioned and a iced tea. Drinks were good. We had Villi as a waitress which stuck with me bc of the different name. She was very friendly and made small talk with us during the meal. Felt like she was really trying - which was fine. We started with the burrata bread and a Caesar salad. The bread was good, sweet notes and the burrata on top was good. Small plates so both these and the Caesar were on the smaller side. The salad was good just a little off - like the dressing was missing something. We also ordered a Margherita pizza as well which came out relatively quick - and was very good. With the open kitchen it's easy to watch this process of the wood fired oven. Very tasty pizza. For my entree I was split on several things so I went different and for the meat platter: chicken, steak and sausage with potatoes. The presentation of this was LACKING to say the least- the items were just kind of tossed on a plate and brought out. The chicken was good - but really small and tough on some spots. The steak was overcooked (never asked what temp I would like it). It was chopped on the top of it and really crispy on the top edge - tough to chew. The sausage was fine - I'm not a big sausage guy but the flavor was good. It came out lukewarm/cold. Meh. Don't know here. For dessert we got the chocolate pie and the lemon pie cake thing. Both were very good and the flavors were sweet. Probably the best part of the meal. It's still a newer place so I won't be really hard on them - but the execution on the entree will need to be addressed. read more

The polenta fries are awesome. Like little lemons and then crispy and delicious! Great selection of wines! read more

It was so good that we came here 3 times in a row during our trip (brunch, dinner, then takeout coffee and pastries). The food is phenomenal. Service very friendly - Ryan and Cyle took great care of us! read more

I wanted to like Brasa more than I did. The food was decent, but the execution just is not there yet. If you are going to position yourself as an Argentine inspired steak restaurant, having essentially one steak option, a flat iron, is a strange place to start. I also heard the "Michelin star chef" narrative being pushed repeatedly throughout the restaurant. If that is going to be part of Brasa's identity, then name the chef, name the restaurant they came from and publish the background. Otherwise it just starts to sound like marketing trying to elevate the experience beyond what is actually being delivered. The wine list was short and disappointing, although the Albariño we ordered was good. No ice bucket was brought to the table, so once the food started arriving we kept the bottle with us rather than waiting for every pour. Even over a relatively short dinner, it became warm enough that we did not bother finishing it. The pacing was the opposite problem. The food came out almost immediately and kept coming. Without the wine slowing things down, our family of four probably could have been in and out in under 30 minutes. Great with starving teenagers, but it made dinner feel rushed rather than like the elevated experience Brasa seems to be going for. Then immediately after paying, Toast texted me asking for a Brasa review. Seconds later I received another text welcoming me to the Guido's Burritos loyalty program, the restaurant that previously occupied the space. That pretty much summed up the night for me. Clean up the little things and get the execution right. Brasa has a nice room, an interesting wood fired concept and decent food, but right now the pieces do not quite match the story being sold. The kitchen is moving at one speed, the dining room is trying to present something more elevated, and the small details in between are being missed. At the moment, it feels closer to a nicely designed wood fired Carrabba's than the Argentine and Italian restaurant the branding suggests. read more

Brasa is a really fun new spot! The atmosphere is absolutely spot on--the place looks great and has a great energy. Bartenders Kyle and Kevin were spectacular and made the experience even better. The Cacio y Pepe and Four Cheese Pizza were both spot on. The wine list was decent; I would have loved to see a few more Argentinian selections, but the service was excellent from start to finish. Great food, great service, great atmosphere, and just a fun place to hang out. Wishing Brasa nothing but the best, and I can't wait to go back! read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel this experience is worth sharing in hopes it helps this new restaurant improve. The staff were friendly -- and honestly, that was the highlight of the visit. The service itself was disorganized from start to finish. My husband waited 30 minutes for his wine, and the waitress even came back to acknowledge he was still waiting -- yet it didn't arrive until after our entrée. Meanwhile, my Diet Coke came right away. Our appetizers (mussels and calamari) arrived quickly and were okay, but when our pizzas came out, we had to bus our own table and push the dirty dishes aside so the waiter could set them down. We counted the staff walking by, and not one person cleared those appetizer plates. Then came the pizza- it was doughy with no crunch and no cheese. It seemed like burnt bits had been sprinkled on the bottom of the pan to fake a brick-oven look. We tried a few slices, but it was overly salty and honestly just wasn't pizza. There seemed to be a lot of staff congregating by the kitchen, but no manager was visible to check on anything, especially concerning for a newly opened restaurant. Our waiter was hard to find, and we noticed other tables searching for theirs too, not getting their drinks and receiving the wrong appetizers. It felt like plenty of staff but no structure. The whole time we were there, our focus was on where our drink was, where our waiter was, and what was actually going on. A few other notes: they took about five photos of us at the table that we never received, and when the check came, it included an automatic 3.5% credit card charge. When we said we were paying cash, the waitress told us to do the math ourselves. I hope this feedback helps with structure, management, and getting things out on time. The staff need more training, and there really needs to be someone present to oversee the floor rather than focusing on the aesthetics and photos no one even receives. read more

Brasa - The poorly made "brick oven" Proscuitto arrugula and cheese pizzaa and mushroom pizza - Argentine Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

New place just opened about two weeks ago. Great location right in Ocean Highway at 33rd street. Has a lot of both indoor and outdoor seating. Saturday night and they were very busy! Nice large bar area quite a few ppl eating dinner there too. We had the large prawn appetizer-very good. I had the flat iron streak and my husband had the mushroom pizza both were very good. The pizza is New York style, very thin can fold it. The steak is a flat iron so not as tasty as a ribeye but I realized that when I ordered it. The fingerling potatoes served with it were to die for! The new owner stopped by our table to ask how we liked everything nice touch! read more

Water tastes funky. Shrimp were inedible. And I love shrimp :( Snapper was good. Brought out the wrong kind of empanadas. Took forever to get the right ones out. Server was very nice. Above all else, I can't stand when an establishment sticks a 3.5% cc charge to the customers, ya know, the ones that bring you your business, considering there's a ton of other places around to choose from. read more

Brasa is an incredible addition to Ocean City! We stopped in this week, and everything exceeded our expectations. The restaurant has been completely transformed with a gorgeous, modern design and a chic, upscale atmosphere that's both stylish and welcoming. The service was warm and attentive, and every dish we tried was absolutely delicious. You can tell a lot of thought and care went into every detail--from the stunning renovation to the outstanding food. If you haven't been yet, put Brasa on your list. We'll definitely be back. read more

Food was delicious. The service was spot on. The atmosphere was pleasant, although a bit noisy. Too many hard surfaces. read more

That was a fantastic meal. The woodfired shrimp as well as octopus were outstanding, and the sampler platter was a great way to get a taste of everything on the menu. The chimichurri was next level. read more

So much touted Wood fired pizza stinks no good. Service is excellent, atmosphere is good. Food no good. read more

I agree with Brian J's review...wanted to like it a lot, found it just acceptable. I too thought the minimized steak options was surprising. The red snapper was overdone, served bone in, when you charge that much, without question, service staff should de-bone it at your table...the spaghetti option was interesting, had to try it, appealing for a while, then dry and boring. Empanadas were great. If this was a Michelin star chef, it must have been for the pizza (which we did not try but will), or for the tires. We loved the porch setting, but bike week spoiled it badly. Mea culpa. Server was lovely, helpful, but did not ask about allergies (there were some), and my pet peeve, alas the selection of sweeteners was incomplete. New place, nice to have a higher end addition, but it isn't high end just yet, just looks it. I assume they are working out kinks, repetition, training, menu adjustment would help read more

Amazing upscale new restaurant in OC. We loved it!! The design was beautiful with a great atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful. The half chicken was excellent, very tender and flavorful with a slight smokey flavor. Chimichurri on all the meats was delicious. Scallops had excellent flavor but a bit pricey for only 5. The only dish we didnt love was the Orecchiette pasta, we didnt expect sausage to be ground and the flavor was a little bland. Overall an excellent elevated restaurant and a new favorite for us in OC!! read more

Wow, the experience was seriously a treat. I've been here since 2005 and I can100% honestly say, it was the best experience I've had in any restaurant here...not only here, but in the entire state of Maryland. The staff were extremely professional and the service was 2nd to none. The bartender was incredible, the manager was solid and the food was f'ing amazing!!! -G. March I will post this wherever I can and I know what it took to get this place up and running in the short amount of time there was and I can say I'm blown away and it speaks volumes of how the ownership operates. I will be back and will tell everyone I know about this experience!! TOP NOTCH!!!! read more

We planned an end of summer long weekend in OC and we were looking for a place a little more "upscale". This was a great choice. The decor is beautiful and there's a huge front porch for outdoor dining, although we decided to eat inside. The service was fantastic. Our waitress never forgot about us. The food was delicious. Empanadas had a nice light crispy crust and good filling. Two of us got the bucatini, awesome! (sauce was great and guanciale crispy). Two of us got the tagliatelle, awesome! Pasta dishes are generous portions. Finished with cannolis (best we ever had). Highly recommend. read more

The food simply amazing the atmosphere a 10 of 10 service was great add brasa to your list of higher end must eat at while in Ocean city you will not be disappointed Try the grilled shrimp appetizer! read more

Really good food, service, wine. Fresh ingredients and unique combinations. They were very flexible & made up a vegetarian pizza. The cake at dessert was also lovely - worth saving room for. Waiter very attentive and did a great job (said his first night there!) Would suggest they add ceiling fans for the outdoor dining. Definitely would go back! read more

Everything at about this place was fantastic! The food, service and decor was absolutely perfect! I wish them all the best and definitely will be back. read more

New, exciting and unique dining experience in Ocean City. Highly recommend! We enjoyed the mixed grill and cacio e pepe

Aesthetically very nice. Menu is limited. Bucatini dish has good flavor. Meat platter is solid, steak is star of the dish. Portions on the platter are small for the $$. Pizza are expensive and just ok for the price. Overall they are too expensive for what they are delivering. Also hit you with a 3.5 credit card charge. 3 star joint - has potential for more. read more

Waited 45 min and didn't even get water. Looked amazing, but the service was non existent. We finally just got up and left. Never headed back there. read more

Just opened, and an amazing addition to the area. Delicious food with a great variety especially the Starters. Incredibly friendly, attentive and talkative staff. Modern but rustic interior with a fresh feeling too it. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for a nice dinner. read more
