This restaurants is depicted as closer to fine dining than most restaurants but not quite fine dining food. I've eaten here a total of 6 times now and just not impressed by the dishes I've eaten. On this occasion I finally remember to get a photo of the foods i ordered. I tend to order off the appetizer menu these days so both plates are off that menu. The shrimps were mediocre at best. Not horrible but no real flair or flavor as if in a bag and fried and dip in some sauce lacking flavor. The Brussels sprouts in my humble opinion worst that the ones i cook at home. I love Brussels sprouts and order them wherever they are served and this is the worst I've tried. Still edible but barely. The drink and service though are top notch. I originally order a cocktail of the menu that had a very cute name like rose colored glasses. However, i was very specific in my water request asking for no ice and room temperate if possible as i like nothing cold or with ice. When my cocktail arrived it was full of ice which was the first turn off. When i tasted it, It contained no flavor at all that i recognized but water. I was reluctant to complain but my party insisted that i order a new drink as he would still pay for that drink so as the waitress and i both would be appeased. So when she returned i asked about a dark drink I could receive that could be served with no ice. She suggested a Manhattan which is one of my faves. And offered that it be could served neat. Up until that time i was not aware that the word neat signified that a drink would be served iceless And that, if you send drinks back it is taken out of the waitress or waiters own pocket. I appreciate both those lessons however, the drink I didn't want did not appear on the final bill i was told. In summary the food here isn't all that good but the ambiance, service and drinks are directly associated with 5 star service of fine dining. read more

Have been here several times, only once I've actually picked to go here. Food is always a hit or miss. It's never consistent. But when it's good, it's really good. The most recent time my whole table had to send back food because for some reason everything was burnt. Even my Long Island tasted like plain juice. I don't personally go back, I only go when I'm invited, just because I don't like inconsistency in my food... read more

Staff is pleasant and attentive. The food was good. However, FYI, you're in the land of shrinking portions. Three fish tacos are reduced to two while the price went from $18 to $20. The bistro chicken came with mashed potatoes plus a side. Now the side is gone unless you pay an extra $5. read more

This trout has to be the best trout I have ever had. The lemon butter caper sauce is delicious. I substituted the broccoli for mash potatoes which I'm so happy I chose to do this as it went well with the mash potatoes. The atmosphere was prefect for a work date. I needed to catch up some work but I wanted to have a fine dinning experience not a Panera bread experience. Plus I wanted Pinot Grios verses a Latte . The serve was great and they were very warming to make my experience awesome here. read more

Came on a Wednesday night at 7 with a party of 8. We made the reservation that day in the afternoon. We were seated right away and our waiter was very attentive. I got the Cobb salad which was pretty good and a huge portion size. Also ask for the bread for your table, it is amazing but forgot to take a pic. read more

Nice place, but Ashley the bartender was too snobby and we will choose elsewhere next time because of her.

We have been to Bricktops several times, since we live nearby. Before I would have rated it a 3.5, but after our visit this Friday night, it's down to a 2.75. The front end staff does a very good job of competently seating guests. There is almost always a wait. We had planned to sit at the bar but it was packed so we sat in the dining area. Our server was also very pleasant and the food and drinks came out fast, and everything was accurate. The reason for the rating was the taste and quality of the food. It was below average. My sea bass was honestly terrible. Overcooked and flavorless. The broccolini was slimy. I barely touched my food. The spinach dip appetizer was okay. The seared tuna was at least average. I had several espresso martinis and they were decent. Overall the food was below average for seafood. Bristol or Cobalt have much better seafood. We both left hungry after picking at our food and a $200 bill for two people. They also got rid of the one salad we liked on the menu that had avocado and was served in a sand pail shape. read more

I had dinner this evening with a friend and our steaks were absolutely delicious--tender and cooked as requested. I'm from the South and got excited when I saw butterbeans on the menu--I ordered them and they were simply Lima beans--a bit of a letdown. Overall a good experience but the amount of flies and gnats that were in the restaurant was pretty bad. We spent a good deal of time fanning them away but some were relentless--please fix this--it ruined an otherwise pleasant meal. read more

Server was a little weird (overly attentive) but delicious food. They were out of a couple menu items but what we ended up with was top quality. Cocktails were also top notch. read more

Great friendly service the minute you walk in. The staff is always friendly as well. I love the California rolls. And you can't go wrong with the devil eggs appetizer. read more

The best spinach artichoke dip I've EVER had! This place is great for any meal, but brunch is the best.

I discovered this place by word of mouth for brunch so all my visits have been for Sunday brunch. I would definately give them 3.5 stars. The ambiance is upscale casual. They draw a large brunch crowd and I alaways make a reservation but it is not needed. The service is hit-n-miss as far as their wait staff is concerned. The hostess is always pleasant and I find there is usually other staff you can go to for your needs when your waiter isn't up to par. We've had great service and ok service but the food hasn't disappointed. I always begin brunch with my favorite two items an order of their homemade donuts which are coated in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar and served with 3 dipping sauces :crème anglaise, hot fudge & raspberry. The donuts are always hot-n-fresh and when you can't make it down to Soulard I find these donuts to be the next best thing. One of my all time favorite items here and a must try, table staple, is their DEVILED EGGS & MILLIONAIRE'S BACON!!!! OMG, what a combination!!!! The deviled eggs and strips of thick cut candied bacon are AMAZING!!!! This dish is sooo well executed and loved that I usually order 2. We sometimes eat both while at the table or take the second order home for later. I would order this dish and pass it off as my own, no doubt. The deviled eggs are absolutely delicious!! The filling is perfectly seasoned and light, the bacon is crisp but not over cooked and that coating provides a bombshell of flavor. Another hands down favorite, especially for waffle lovers is their Chicken & Waffle dish. It is chicken tenders, a malted waffle and served with two pieces of bacon. I would definately suggest substituting the millionare bacon for the regular bacon. I'm normally not a fan of malt but their malted waffles are INSANELY DELICIOUS!!!! The waffle is incredibly light and fluffy in texture with the most amazing taste. These waffles are served with piping hot chicken tenders which are well seasoned, moist and tender. The hot tenders assist with melting the already soft butter that is placed between the waffle and chicken with a side of warm syrup. These waffles are certainly changing a game changer. I have also tried the Baby Back Ribs which are slow-roasted, served with cole slaw & french fries. They are fall off the bone, tender. They aren't bad in taste, nothing like Boggart's or Pappy's but still good. The fries are certainly nothing to write home about and the cole slaw is just ok. I have ordered a chocolate martini from here which wasn't bad. I am trying to work my way through their brunch menu with no success. read more

Solid brunch for Father's Day! Very affordable for the kids. My daughter got the tasty kids sautéed salmon and it could have been an adult order. The chicken/waffles were great, and the deviled eggs & millionaires bacon were awesome and could easily be an entree. One in our party raved about the lobster bisque but not my thing. I tried the Eggs BrickTops which was very satisfying. Like a hearty quiche/omelette fusion with sausage and cheese; even the potatoes that came with were crunchy and tender. We ordered the homemade donuts for dessert but we were all full from the meal. Still really good! Great experience! read more

Love this place! My favorite dish is the chicken Milanese. I sometimes have problems eating chicken because it's dry but this dish is so tender and flavorful! Service has always been amazing and the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. read more

Good food, decent prices - poor communication. When making a reservation for 12, we asked if we could be fiaranteed there'd be carrot cake for dessert - as it is our mother's favorite and we were celebrating her 73rd. They said yes, we could order one for the table. What they failed to mention is that it was a sheet cake with 22, wouldn't fit on the table unless served as slices on individual plates, and cost $100. read more

Reservations for 7:45. It took 3 times for the server to ask, "again , I'm sorry what was your drink order?" And still forgot my daughters coke. Had to ask 3 more times for the coke. Ordered Candied Bacon and was brought 2 pieces of bacon. Completely out of bread by 7:45???? Burgers were ordered medium, completely well done! Service was terrible! Food was mediocre! Applebees is better. 801 Local will be our new go to! read more

Expensive, cold, & loud. Real butter, warm bread is a nice touch. Shanghai shrimp ok, but not spicy by any stretch. Messed up entree order, but quickly fixed. Probably would not be back. read more

Bricktops is a great place to throw a celebration for a big groups/families; in my experience they have been very accommodating of my grandparents who are not necessarily the most stead on their feet.They take reservations and have great service here. The food here is good but the real star of the show are the appetizers. I look forward to coming here just for the deviled eggs! The dimly lit interior feels upscale but not stuffy. read more

I tried this place for the first time as an engagement celebration and I was very pleased. Every time I go, I receive good food and service. The hosts are welcoming and friendly. The severs are attentive and polite. The shrimp and grits were my favorite brunch dish. The grits were the perfect consistency and full of flavor. The shrimp were tender and had the perfect amount of spice. The spinach dip is AMAZING! I'm not a big fan of capers but the chicken Milanese was delicious. The alfredo was flavorful and a perfect addition to the chicken. The chicken on both dishes were cooked with the right amount of seasoning and were juicy and tender. So far, I have always had a good experience when going to this location and I will continue to come back! read more

The food was excellent. However, when I go to a upscale restaurant I expect much better service than what we received. Our waitress was not diligent about keeping up with water and beverage refills and she would disappear for chunks of time so we could not even catch her to remind her. When she brought the coffee at the end of the meal she only brought sugar and not creamer. I had to wait over 10 minutes before I saw her again to request it and she then forgot and I had to request it again. I had wanted a second cup, but of course she did not make her way back to our table until our dessert was gone and it was too late. Also, I would expect that Bricktops would know better how to pace a meal. Our salads came and before we had taken even three bites, our entree was arriving. I want to eat my entree when it is hot and the table was so crowded with plates I was having to reach over my entree to get to my salad. Overall, the whole experience was just not what I would call gracious dining. While the food is good, they need to work on the other important elements of the experience. There are way too many good restaurants in St. Louis that care about good service for me to waste my time and money by returning to Bricktops. read more

Had a large party for a birthday celebration for Sunday Brunch and the waiter/waitress took a really long time to initially come to our tables. Each time they left and came back, it took quite a while for them to return. So to me they were not attentive to our party at all. The appetizers were better than the entrees. The adults did enjoy the make it yourself mimosas. Nobody raved over their food. I had the Eggs Benedict and it was not hot and my potatoes were too crunchy. Overcooked. I've been there for dinner and it was a whole lot better than the brunch. I had the ribs and they were very very tender and good. So I should go back for dinner and not for brunch. read more

Lucky D and his lady decided to get out of the dog house on a rainy night and get some grub. I had the steak frites, steak was really good & the fries were kind of small and crunchy. The lady got the Ahi Tuna which she really liked. To top it all off we split a piece of Key Lime Pie.. mmmm Overall good experience and this place is located in swanky Frontenac plaza so it's a nice place for a date night read more

Very good! "Casual formal" if you will. Can make it what you want I guess. It is nicely dimly lit, but no jacket required. Service is good and serious, wait staff knows the menu thank god for once . The menu is small, but good choices. I had the simple fish tacos and slaw. Slaw was hand cut and original, very good and creamy. The fish was a simple white fish. My companion had the wedge, very good and fresh. The drinks were good and a large selection of wine. read more

Very good Prime Rib. Cooked perfectly and the taste was very very nice. I would've gave a 5-Star rating if it wasn't for the poor service and listening to the waitstaff complaining to each other (I sat next to kitchen) about their co-workers. So tacky. read more

Love this place but they lost a star because I don't want pieces of pickle in my cocktail sauce when I'm eating oysters. They brought that after I refused the first ramekin that had extra horseradish on top. Sometimes plain is better. read more

I am from Houston and this is my first stop everytime I come in to town. Amazing food and Awesome service. Hands down my favorite in the Lou. Btw, it's right the street from the Frontenac Mall incase you want to kill 2 birds with one stone. read more

What a great find!!! Went there for lunch with the wife and kid 2. Beautiful place, great service and amazing food. I had the blackened mahi-mahi fish tacos. Nice sized fillets, yummy guacamole, slightly fluffy tortillas. All in all a delicious dish! The wife had one of the twenty lobster roll sandwiches they have each Friday. Yes, you read that right - they only prepare 20 of these things per week. Want a lobster roll...go have lunch there on Friday but don't make it a late lunch or they're all gone. I managed to score a bite and it was really good. Maybe even as good as my fish tacos but that was what I was in the mood to eat so I passed on the lobster. I would certainly order her sandwich in the future tho! The woman loves deviled eggs so she gladly accepted our server's offer to pick something other than fries with her lobster roll. The delicious eggs were simply executed yet perfect. The kid opted for a cheeseburger with caramelized onions. I think Patt C. called it one of the best burgers she's ever had and I concur. It was amazingly flavorful, tender and juicy. The caramelized onions were a sublime addition which further added to the flavor profile and there was plenty of cheese, a good thing in my opinion because when I order a cheeseburger I want to know that I'm eating a cheeseburger. It is worth mentioning that kid 2 is a skinny 12 year old girl and she demolished that huge burger with the exception of the single bite I tried. It is also worth mentioning that she asked for the skillet cookie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert and ate almost the whole thing by herself. The kid slipped into a food coma in the car and declared that she was taking a nap when we got home. I wonder if she will eat again this weekend? read more

I came here for lunch with my friend because she said that their chocolate chip cookie in a skillet dessert is one I would just die for. Thank goodness for friends who know you well -- otherwise, I would've missed out on their totally-lived-up-to-the-hype dessert! Of course I didn't just come here for the dessert. I decided to try their lunch filet (about $19), a 5 oz steak with a grilled tomato and a side (I just HAD to pick the three-cheese macaroni!). The filet was delicious and cooked to my specifications -- but a weebit small. The mac and cheese was also delightful and went perfectly with the steak. I didn't care for the grilled tomato -- it tasted a bit under-done and even the bed of parmesan cheese on top didn't do much to save it. And now on to the dessert. It is a MUST get. Fresh baked chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream -- seems so simple but yet so diviiinee. I look forward to coming up with random reasons to come back here soon! read more

What a great addition to the dining options at Plaza Frontenac. Our most recent shopping pilgrimage to the plaza was around lunch time, so we asked our sales associates as we shopped, where to have lunch and they all unanimously said, "Brick Top". They all recommended the same things, Burger or Fish Tacos. With so many endorsements and recommendations of good ideas we were sold. After shopping till we were ready to drop or starving to death, we headed out to Brick Top for a satisfying lunch. Our friend at the Omega watch store told us be sure to sit at the bar. He said the bartender always makes it a fun experience and he is right about that. Tammy and her coworker Steve, made sure that we were taken care of in style and we were only drinking ice tea with our meal. We started out with Deviled Eggs and Sugar Bacon. Three eggs sliced in half, deviled and three slices of gooey chewy bacon for $9. Highway robbery? Hell, yes. That is some major markup on three eggs and slices of bacon. Worth the $9? Not really, but that bacon was so sweet, chewy and good. The deviled eggs themselves, were just average, but I am glad I got to experience them. The Fish Tacos were Blackened Fish of the Day served in a soft tortilla shell with your typical taco garnishes. I normally am not a Fish Taco fan, but these had me scratching my head in wonderment as to why. I think it is because I had not experienced these little jewels before. The Blackened seasoning gave them a good kick of flavor and except for the side of fries, it was a healthy lunch. What sold me on the 4 Stars was my burger. It is proudly being placed #1 on my burger list. The lunch special was a Bleu Cheeseburger with your choice of slaw or fries. I went out of my comfort zone and I am so glad I did. By that I mean, typically I am not a Bleu Cheese type guy, but this was the bomb. Bleu Cheese burgers I've had or seen in the past basically just had a scoop of the cheese dolloped on top of the burger. Not this one, theirs was evenly melted across the entire burger and even had a golden bubble to it like a pizza cheese. I ordered mine medium and it seared and the perfect shade of pink inside for my taste. I agree with George, these are some of the best fries in town. Their house seasoning which has sugar in it, is what makes them stand above the rest. A big bonus for me is they serve ketchup in small cups with your order. I am not a fan of nasty ketchup bottles on the table. I may have to shop PF more often, it will give me an excuse to eat at Brick Top again and again. read more

I was meeting up with some former coworkers to catch up, and one made a reservation at BrickTop's. We were seated in the covered patio area where there were lounge chairs and some low tables. The lounging seats were spread out fairly far from one end to another, so it was difficult to hear everyone. The screaming child at another table didn't help either. I ordered a Charred Grapefruit cocktail, as did several others at our table. Three of us received our cocktails in cocktail glasses and the fourth received her cocktail in a martini glass, which was a bit odd since it wasn't a martini. When one of the ladies at our table ordered her cocktail it wasn't served with the spicy Tajin seasoning which gives the drink a kick. When asked about it, our waitress informed us the kitchen was out. The Charred Grapefruit cocktail was lovely though, with a sweet grapefruit flavor and hints of mint and basil served with a lemon peel garnish. If you're not a fan of sweet drinks, this drink is not for you. We all ordered some sushi, which came out at various times. I ordered the Yum Yum Roll, made up of shrimp tempura, asparagus and crab meat. My roll came out last, after everyone had already finished eating. Apparently the kitchen had run out of an ingredient for the sushi. They were running out of a lot of things tonight. The Yum Yum Roll was a little disappointing for $18. There was a spicy sauce used that unfortunately overpowered all the other flavors. For a restaurant that advertises as an upscale chain restaurant, it was a bit underwhelming. Maybe I just need to give it another try. read more
