Crema's Take
“The Brasserie trades on a beautiful, spacious Parisian-inflected dining room and solid comfort food (the smashburgers have a real following), but the service is consistently inconsistent—multiple reviewers report being ignored at the bar or forgotten by their server, which sours what should be a pleasant sit-down experience. At 3.9 stars with over 300 reviews, the complaints aren't outliers; they're a pattern. Go if you're drawn to the room and food specifically and can roll with spotty attention, but manage your expectations accordingly.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

First of all, the place is beautiful and spacious. Very well appointed- slightly Parisian appearance.... Menu also slightly aligned with a French Brasserie - with a Texas twist. Jhoana - our waitress - was attentive and knowledgeable and helped us navigate the menu. Food came…
