We've been there several times and haven't been disappointed. All of our selections have been over the top delicious.

This is a terrific alternative to the astronomical prices of Aspen. We'll be there often.

I highly recommend if you find yourself in the area.

Brass and Anvil - 4 Stars We took the boys to Brass and…read moreAnvil and had a solid evening. The food was respectable across the board--I had the sirloin which was cooked nicely, and the cream corn was the standout side of the night. One of my sons ordered the braised beef pasta bowl, the other went with the mac and cheese, and we shared a beet salad that was refreshing and well-prepared. Now, here's where this place really shined: our waitress. She was absolutely exceptional--attentive, personable, and kept everything running smoothly despite what looked like a hectic night. Turns out she's from Vermont, DJs on the side, and makes her own jewelry. That kind of hustle and genuine warmth while she's managing a full section? That's the kind of service that makes a restaurant memorable. The food won't blow your mind, but it's quality and well-executed. If you're looking for a comfortable spot with solid fare and great hospitality, Brass and Anvil delivers. Definitely worth a visit.

Unfortunately, Brass & Anvil was a disappointment. The bison meatballs were a little dry, and…read morealthough the sauce was intentionally served cold, the contrast with the warm meatballs was odd. At $20 for just three meatballs, they also felt especially overpriced. The parmesan truffle fries had an unusual taste--almost as if they had been cooked in old grease--and there wasn't much truffle flavor. The pear salad was okay overall, but the pears didn't seem fresh and tasted more like canned pears. On the positive side, the patio was very nice, and the mezcal cocktail was excellent. It's a great setting, and we really wanted to like it, but given the quality of the food and the prices, the meal just didn't deliver.

I'm leaving yet another... 5 star review for The Pullman because every year I come dine at this…read morerestaurant I am blown away. First off, the most notable thing about this experience was the genuinely most amazing waitress I think I have ever encountered, Grace. Grace was the kindest soul, she took such amazing care of us and went ABOVE AND BEYOND. Me and my family will go out to eat now and say "she was good but not as good as Grace". Second off, The food was AMAZING per usual. I had the Wagyu steak and it was cooked perfectly, I usually hate going out for steak because I find it to never be seasoned as much as I'd like but this took the cake. The blue cheese dip with chips was so delicious, like possibly one of the best things we have ever tasted. We also tried to carrot cake sorbet which I know sounds odd but it was so delicious, you can tell the kitchen staff puts their heart and soul into this food. My husband got the special, which was like a Turkish ricotta stuffed pasta and it was AMAZING. Even my sister who got the wagyu burger, AMAZING. My only critique was the hostess was very rude to my family for no reason when we walked in which almost turned my parents off from trying to the most amazing restaurant. Luckily, the service got amazing after that. Everyone was so kind and helping everyone, just a great atmosphere. They also had the Knicks game playing which was great haha. I can't wait to come back next summer for my favorite meal despite living states away we will always make it back to The Pullman.

They have a very limited food menu, which hopefully will grow over time, but the food that do have is delicious. The empanadas are all folded differently to identify the different fillings, which gives a striking visual appeal and the empanadas taste great taboot. The empanadas are also served with a delicious pesto-type sauce. The venue is broken up into a lot of different spaces so you can find an area that matches your group's vibe. The acoustics can make the space a little loud when it is crowded, but this works really well when they have live music in the evenings.

I had "The Regular" burger with a side of sweet potato fries, and it was so good. The fries and burger were excellent. My friend ordered two big beers and really enjoyed them. We got good service from a teenager who was kind of awkward but very attentive. I didn't bring this up because I didn't want to bother him, but the menu clearly says that you can add cheese, mushrooms, and avocado for $1, but they charged $3 for it. I was wondering if I had somehow misread it, and that they charge $1 for each extra topping, but the receipt said the avocado was $2 and cheese + mushrooms was $1. I do not like a misleading menu and price discrepancies. It ended up being around $28 after tip, which was pricey for just a burger and fries at a casual bar.

It is warm, unpretentious, and packed with the kind of local energy you can not fake. The burger with sweet potato fries is the move, the fish and chips delivers, and the menu hits that rare sweet spot of comfort food you actually crave after a long day. The real reason we will be back is the service. Chloe and Kendall were the stars of the show, sharp, welcoming, and genuinely on point without ever hovering. If you want a place with honest food, a solid pour, and a staff that makes you feel like you belong, Brick Pony just earned a customer for life.
