Good for a weekend brunch and with varied enough menu to find you will likely come back. The menu had enough options to interest you, with only some of the delivery to be thing left wanting slightly.

I loved the apple walnut grilled chicken salad! The balsamic dressing was delicious, and the…read morechicken was perfectly cooked. It's a pricey salad for what it is, but it was still great. The popcorn shrimp was good but quite oily. The fries were unremarkable. The lake views are nice, but the outdoor seating area felt a bit cramped. I would come back during a less crowded time and for the salad!

I've been to Brickmakers about 5 times. Had various things from the menu. The summer menu Cuban was…read morea thumbs down for me. The smash burger was average. Fries are disappointing.

First, there is very little seating and it's very cramped. There's no hallway between the counter and the table and chairs. You have so much business, please consider renting the space next to your existing restaurant to increase seating. And Second, I prefer crêpes that are crispy. These crêpes were a little undercooked. Next time I'll ask them to be cooked longer to be a crispy. We will definitely come back.

I ordered a strawberry crepe yesterday, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing…read more The service was poor. I stood at the pickup area for several minutes while three employees were behind the counter. One of them looked directly at me while drinking water but didn't even greet or acknowledge me, and the other two never seemed to notice that someone was waiting. It felt like no one paid attention to customers at the pickup station unless they walked over to the ordering counter. I wasn't helped until another employee came out of the kitchen to assist a different customer. She then went behind the counter, chatted briefly with her coworkers, noticed me waiting, and finally asked if I was picking up an order. The food has also changed. I used to buy the strawberry crepe for my daughter almost every weekend because we loved it. This time, it was soggy and overwhelmingly sweet, with far too much topping and syrup. It no longer has the same quality it used to. The omelet was still decent and about the same as before, but the cappuccino was bland and forgettable. Nothing about it stood out. Based on this visit, I won't be coming back. It's disappointing to see both the service and the quality decline from what used to be one of our favorite places.

The avocado here is top tier, they put this sauce on top that give it a nice sweet tanfy finish to it. The Lox is also so good but i get it on croissant instead of bagel. The service is always good, i love that she hired all the diversity of peoples from different background and personality. There are seatings to dine in but most of the time i come for a latte to go but always break my diet because the food it too good to not add on.

The Spot at Belmont Bay is officially our new brunch problem!!!…read more We went to The Spot at Belmont Bay this past Sunday for brunch, and I'm just going to say it: this is the best brunch in the area. Not "pretty good for Woodbridge." Not "solid little neighborhood spot." I mean clear-your-calendar-because-you're-going-back good. We ordered the Breakfast Board for Two, and it was exactly what brunch should be: generous, fun, shareable, and absolutely loaded. Eggs, bacon, house-made sausage, smashed potatoes, Belgian waffles, biscuit, gravy (so good), fresh fruit, Greek parfait, and pastries of the day all showed up on one board like brunch had assembled the Avengers. And here's what makes it even better: everything is made from scratch. You can taste it. Even the sausage is made in-house, which explains why it stood out so much. The smashed potatoes were seasoned beautifully, the scrambled eggs were fluffy, the bacon had that perfect crispy edge, and the waffles were golden with just enough crunch. The biscuit was soft and buttery, and the cinnamon roll situation on the side had absolutely zero interest in helping anyone make responsible decisions. Respect. But the absolute star of the show was the spicy Bloody Mary. Best Bloody Mary I've ever had. Full stop. It had real zip, great spice, and that pickle salt rim took it completely over the top. Salty, briny, spicy, savory, it hit every note. Add the crispy bacon and lemon garnish = forget about it!! The drink menu is no joke either. They've got mimosa carafes, mimosa flights, sangria, margarita flights, brunch cocktails, dirty sodas, coffee drinks - basically, The Spot looked at brunch beverages and said, "Yes. All of it." We also had a mimosa, and it was bright, fresh, and exactly what you want sitting next to a big brunch board. We also had the chance to meet the owners, and they were fantastic. Warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they're building. That makes such a difference. You can tell when a place has real people behind it who care about the food, the service, and the vibe. The Spot absolutely has that. I liked it so much that I'm already going back for their bourbon tasting Saturday night, and then again for their Father's Day brunch on Sunday. Great food, great drinks, great owners, great atmosphere, and scratch-made brunch that actually delivers. The Spot at Belmont Bay is a winner. It's a cute small place so make sure you call and make reservations!

The food was good, but unfortunately, the service was rude and unwelcoming. From the moment we sat…read moredown, we felt that the server's attitude toward my husband was noticeably different and seemed unnecessarily dismissive. We also observed what felt like a difference in the level of warmth and attentiveness shown toward other guests. As a Hispanic customer, I left feeling that we were not treated with the same courtesy and hospitality as some of the other patrons. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously, as every customer should feel welcomed, respected, and treated with the same level of professionalism regardless of their race or ethnicity.

We chose to sit at the bar, as we saw a large party hosting a baby shower and opted for the empty bar area instead. The bar tender offered a taste of the day or something like that which I opted for a gin cocktail, refreshing and light. We opted for the burger which was delish and came with fries (not a fan of the fries). But go here! There is a sitting area with a fireplace and the decor is just cozy and easy going...

The wait staff were very attentive and pleasant. Our waitress, Jackie, was wonderful! Although it has a warm, intimate feel, the volume in the dining room was loud. I didn't mind because it had a nice energy to it, but just fyi if you're wanting a quiet dining room. I did notice another room off to the side, so maybe it's quieter in there? Food: We enjoyed the beef carpaccio appetizer. My scallops were cooked to perfection and my husband enjoyed the beef loin special. Only one complaint - the crab soup was awful. It was like canned crab and frozen mixed vegetable dumped in a broth. Disappointing if it were inexpensive but insulting at $17. I love a good seafood soup or bisque but they need to revisit this recipe. Honestly, that's the only thing that kept me from giving them 5 stars. *edited to add: I forgot to mention the sticky pudding dessert. Delicious!

We also tried the crab cake sandwich and French onion soup (also yummy). The ambiance is wonderful with French music playing and a darling patio.

Deliciousness - 4/5 Happiness - 5/5…read more I love Belgian beer, and Cock and Bowl is my favorite place to nab some of this great nectar. This place keeps the Belgian brews stocked across the spectrum. From fruity Lambics to Tripels (my personal fave) and Quadrupels, pales to darks. There's a lot to explore here. The food is pretty good too. The frites (fries) are excellent and pair well with the beer. They are thick without veering into steak fry territory, nicely crunchy, and packed with a pleasing amount of salt (and I believe a hint of vinegar). The waffles are also a standout, typically topped with light and airy cream. The merguez lamb sausage is also hearty and delicious. I wish the building itself was larger. There's only a few tables, meaning you may be in for a wait if you go during the colder months. And I recently had the chocolate mousse and didn't care for it. It was much more akin to pudding, and there wasn't a deep enough chocolate flavor to contrast with the whipped cream. There's no better place I've found in Occoquan to eat, drink, and be merry. I highly recommend you stop here when you visit.
