Absolutely five stars for Brenner’s! Everything about our experience was wonderful, but the service was truly exceptional—honestly, some of the best service we have ever had anywhere. We celebrated our daughters 22 birthday, server put rose petals on table for her made sure to hold the door when we left. We felt welcomed and genuinely taken care of. The staff was attentive, professional, friendly, and seemed to anticipate everything we needed without ever making us feel rushed. That level of service is rare and made the entire evening feel extra special. The food and atmosphere were fantastic. They have set a new standard for what great hospitality should look like. We will absolutely be back and highly recommend Brenner’s to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience!

Really enjoyed this restaurant and very nice for being attached to a hotel. Hostess and waitress (I think it was Andrea and Tiffany) were so nice. It flagged that it was my birthday (the next day) and they made sure it was extra special. Was a great experience.

We ate here for a business dinner. One of my colleagues has some food allergies. Our server was very helpful and ensured that the chef was aware. She made some recommendations and ensured that he was happy with his meal. She was so attentive to our group. We had a delicious meal and wonderful service!

Everything is sooooo good! The filet mignon is better than the steak but the steak is very good also. Don't miss their raclette!!! The service was very good too ☺️

Love the Sopresetta pizza; great toppings and thin crust. The deviled eggs are unique and delicious, and the Caesar salad was one of the best I've ever had; very fresh with excellent dressing. The cocktails are good but the list could use an update. Love the outdoor seating when the weather is good. My husband and I have been here many times; definitely recommend!

Excellent experience. We had seating outside that was comfortable & perfect on the Riverwalk. Ordered the Seafood Tower. Everything was fresh and definitely enough for two. A few specialty cocktails were delightful . Key lime pie for dessert was a grand treat. Service was on point. Highly recommend.
