All of the food was exceptional. The Lime/Lemonade was Excellent and the cortados were perfect!! There was an open concept dining. When we first came in there was one party that was very very loud, (so much that everyone was turning around looking at them). They left after about 15 min, then it was better and not so loud. The music was loud, but not to the point where you couldn't hear the other person talking.

Although parking can seem to be a bit of a nightmare right in that plaza, we happened to get lucky and get a parking spot right in front. The line also wasn't too bad, they had several different brunch options to choose from with a few of the favorites listed. I ended up going with the chicken sausage wrap and my sister had the french toast with limeades as our drinks. All very delicious! Will definitely be coming back.

Both plates were impeccable - flavorful, beautifully prepared, and exactly as described. Manager Kaj greeted us at the register, took our order, and once again went above and beyond with his warm, attentive service. The space was clean, vibrant, and inviting. Highly recommend for a special breakfast.

Thanks to all of the great yelp photos, the winner of my "tournament of decision" was the Mexican Benedict. From there, I was able to step to the side to order and iced mocha before sitting down wherever we wanted. I think this is a great wrinkle because the food comes out quick and seats for most in line are available, like clock work. No one was standing around waiting for a seat even though the line was to the door when w got there. The Mexican Benedict was amazing, with a spicy chorizo along with the usual. I found myself savoring every bite, and the flavor was consistent. The manager was warm and informative to everyone eating, and we felt so enjoyable while we ate good food. Such a smooth and pleasant time before the day had turned epic. Such a great place to fuel up with good quality food and brunch energy! Well done, Phoenix!!

Went there on a Saturday morning. There was a little bit of a wait, but not too. Had a wonderful waiting area to sit with great vibes great music. Lively atmosphere. Being in Arcadia Neighbourhood, you see a mix of people. Everything from hipsters, to aunties and uncs, and people looking like they just left the set of Pop the Balloon or Find Love. As for the food, I had the catfish and grits. The catfish was cooked perfectly, well seasoned. Hot crispy fresh. The grits were a bit lacking as they were pretty runny but overall a good bite. Other people in my party got a short rib hash said it was delicious. The French toast and the pancakes are not anything different than what you get at any other high-end brunch spot. Prices of what you expect for a place like this, but all in all I would recommend.

They do have valet parking at this establishment or you can park on the side street about two blocks away for free. We opted to just park two blocks away. On this occasion, our server was very sweet. She was also a cancer zodiac sign, so very nurturing and she insured that we had a great experience. For food I have no complaints. I really enjoyed the grits and catfish and also a birthday pancake that was given to me by the establishment. I thought that was a really nice gesture, and it was delicious. The vibe and the food for this establishment is five stars. What I take issue with is the lack of glassware. I think if you're gonna offer sparkling wine or mimosas or even champagne, you should have the proper stemware. I thought that the mimosa flights came off very low brow and there was no way I was drinking out of what looked like glass baby bottles. When asked for a wine stem glass, they didn't have any. And I actually believe the server which they need to do better IKEA is not that far you can get some wine glasses. This is essential. I did also see that they had some upgraded bottles for bubbles and I wish I would've saw that on a menu as I would've purchased an upgrade it Prosecco or champagne. However, I would've been livid if I purchased an upgraded bottle and had to drink out of thick cognac glasses. Anyway, I would come back here, but I just think they need to do better on the actual glassware. It would elevate this establishment.

The kitchen, which is…read moreopen, although behind a glass partition, and a coffee station with some Cafe tables is downstairs. Upstairs is a bar and a small dining room and a lovely patio complete with black and white striped draperies. Our server was our bartender and was absolutely lovely. In fact, both the bartenders were very friendly and engaging. They were also both very attentive. I started with a cocktail and hubby had a beer. It isn't a full bar, so they didn't have the ingredients for an amaretto sour, but they did for anegroni, so I was happy. We ordered off the restaurant Week menu and left there absolutely stuffed. We both started with the three jumbo shrimp, which really were jumbo. Hubby commented several time how good the control sauce was, and I agree. For entree, I had the duck with orange sauce and hubby had the filet au poivre . Both were so delicious. That also brought a large page of pmmes frite for the table, which in our case, was the bar. We finished it off with the chocolate mousse and the butter cake with cherries and almonds. The butter cake was a little more dense and dry than others I've had, but, big, was it good! I feel like the Melrose district has a lot of fantastic restaurants, and Brasserie Melrose is definitely one of them. Be mindful of the parking situation --their lot only has 3 parking spaces plus a handicap space. You may have to park and walk, so plan for that when you make your reservation.

The restaurant has two floors with both indoor and outdoor seating. The patio has a really cute vibe, especially when the weather is nice. We came for Happy Hour and, along with a couple of cocktails, ordered mostly from the Happy Hour menu. Our server, Beth, was super friendly and attentive. We got the Seafood Tower, Caviar, Foie Gras Mousse, Escargots, Tomato Tartare, and fries. Everything was delicious, and the seafood was nice and fresh. We really enjoyed every dish we tried.

As first-time visitors, we were promptly welcomed upon entering the restaurant. Although we were…read moreinformed the establishment was experiencing high demand, we were offered the convenient option of seating at the bar without any wait time, which we gladly accepted. The ambiance exuded an enjoyable, lively energy, and our bartender demonstrated exceptional friendliness and engagement throughout our visit. We began with a refreshing Malibu Sunrise and ordered the dollar pancakes as an appetizer. The pancakes delivered wonderful flavor and texture. We then proceeded to order our entrées. My lady selected the Daygo, an impressive creation featuring sautéed onions, peppers, spinach, broccoli, mushrooms, tomatoes, and cheese with eggs, all nestled in a buttery flaky croissant and crowned with fresh avocado spread. It was essentially a gourmet omelette wrapped in a croissant--ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS and highly worthy of recommendation. I opted for the Skyline Steak & Eggs, requesting my eggs scrambled with melted cheese. For my steak, I requested medium doneness and received exactly that preparation. Though it arrived slightly more medium-rare, it continued cooking on the hot skillet, allowing the process to complete right at my table. I added sautéed onions and mushrooms on top, complemented by the house chimichurri sauce. It was outstanding! The steak was expertly seasoned with excellent flavor, and the accompanying hash browns, loaded with bell peppers and onions, were equally impressive. Overall, the culinary offerings are truly fantastic! My only minor observation concerned the host's initial assessment of busyness. Despite being told the restaurant was packed, only a handful of people were actually seated when we arrived. While the bar seating option was certainly convenient, I noticed numerous tables remained available throughout the dining area. Additional guests did eventually arrive, but not until approximately 25-30 minutes had passed, at which point the restaurant genuinely became busy. Regardless, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at this breakfast establishment. We would absolutely return during future visits to the area.

Their interior is very light and clean. For a Friday brunch, it was quite busy. I was able to snag a bar spot immediately but you should expect a wait especially if you have a larger party.

I expected the fall pancakes to be super sweet, but they were to die for, so yummy and a must try! The burrito was delicious and the avocado toast super flavorful. Our server was amazing, she was super quick, amiable, and attentive and the overall vibe of the restaurant is very trendy, modern and comfy. There was a live singer/ acoustic artist which added to the positive experience. A couple of things to note: parking is limited which is a downside.

He was friendly, knowledgeable, and did a great job setting expectations for the menu. The drinks were also excellent. My wife enjoyed the TONI Grüner Veltliner, which was crisp, refreshing, and perfect for a warm day. I went with the Pacific Modern cocktail, a rum-based drink featuring cashew cream. It was sweet, creamy, and unlike anything I've had before. We started with the steak tartare. While the quality of the steak seemed good, the mojo sauce overwhelmed the dish and buried the flavor of the meat. For our entrées, my wife ordered the shrimp ceviche and I had the kielbasa and pierogies. Caleb warned us that the ceviche was very spicy, and he wasn't exaggerating. The heat level, combined with the saltiness, made it difficult to enjoy. On the other hand, the kielbasa and pierogies were excellent. The portion was generous, the sausage was flavorful, and the pierogies had wonderfully crispy edges that made the dish a winner. The dining room itself is clean, spacious, and modern. One small issue was that our booth table felt loose and shifted every time we sat down or got up, which was a little distracting throughout the meal. Overall, Alden delivered a pleasant lunch experience with excellent service, creative cocktails, and some standout dishes. A few menu items didn't quite work for us, but we'd be willing to return and explore more of the menu.
