Brett's Bistro

Phone number now belongs to Asian restaurant: Yu Garden. The reviews for Yu Garden are very favorable

This restaurant was recommended by a local. When we got there today it was closed, despite their posted hours. It looked nice through the window! Maybe when we are back in the area we will be able to catch them open.

It's closed done kaput nada zip zero zilch 85 characters is a pain in the butt for a closed restaurant

It's conveniently located in town within walking distance to the Best Western also about expectations, everyone is under staffed, so I always appreciate the service  staff who are working.  The serving staff I had that night were professional and attentive. This restaurant still has that old time feel it's a definite classic type vibe It's in the sense of good food and high quality and really nice views even though it's a bistro.  Its family-owned business and the owners seem to be committed to quality.  I had the house salad and I was told it was organic and farm to table with fresh local ingredients. My other entries were simple a nice steak medium rare and some great mashed potatoes.The food was well prepared hot and delicious.  I had a nice house red cabernet which was tasty. I did have a local homemade dessert that was prepared by the staff.

Brett's Bistro is still a 5 star in my reviews. Wife had the 8 oz fillet that could cut with a fork. I had the 10 oz prime rib special that was prepared in duck fat and had a choice of red pepper au jus which I had to try. Was an excellent meal for both of us. Our server Jay did an awesome job. Kept out glasses full and checked on us frequently even though the place was packed. Another phenomenal meal and service at Brett's. Oh yeah, if you like pork cracklings Brett's are the best fresh ones I have found.

Excellent almond-crusted salmon with rice pilafThe prime rib (my husband's choice the evening we popped) in was nothing shy of perfect.Beautiful ambienceTop rate table service

The French onion soup definitely deserves a 5 star. The salmon is also a great meal and is very fresh tasting. The chicken fried steak is also delicious- expect a large portion size for this meal. This place serves good food but however for the price this may be considered unreasonable. The carrot cake was served very cold and the frosting was no good. Could have been a better cake. I would give this a 3 star but for how good the soup and bread is I'm giving it a 4.

While in Red River, NM the Whiskey Bros happened upon a jewel of a restaurant. We were walking to a certain planned destination but happened upon Brett's outdoor signage claiming to have prime rib. Prime rib, being what it is, instantly captivates the attention of any unassuming Whiskey Bro just as a flower captivates a bee. We were, as these things seem to happen, whisked into the restaurant on hopes and dreams that only sensual culinary satiation can provide. The let down that we experienced when the sweet waitress exclaimed that they were indeed out of their prime rib was an axe to our revived core. As culinary adventurism often requires, we determined that we would see things through. With a commitment to this ideal we would stay, order a bottle of red, and try to make the most of a bloody disaster. What followed provided shocks and surprises the wisest Whiskey Bro could never have hoped for. Often we must pull ourselves from the depths of a sensual culinary dive to gain a critical perch from which to judge a meal. We tried, but to no avail. The smorgasbord of steak, trout and lamb accompanied by various interestingly 'sauced' sides locked us into an olfactory journey only the best of critics could dissect. When we had the group realization that we could taste Key lime in the mushrooms our brains nearly exploded with awe. Everything before us was merely... complex and perfect. After the meal, our plates showing the magnitude of the destruction we laid upon them and us moaning after a battle hard won. Our kind waitress merely asked an otherwise unassuming question. "Dessert?" I don't exactly recall what the dessert was. Sensing our severe struggle with thinking in general, not to mention our limited capacity to merely communicate, our waitress ordered for us. She was so empathetic to our pain. It was a cake 'something' with ice cream. More than enough for three very large men. I only remember the frenzied attack that occurred after that first hesitant taste, the likes of which can be witnessed in zombie movies. If you are ever in Red River, New Mexico; or Taos, or anywhere in this corner of the world. Do yourself a favor and devote an evening to a serious exploration of Brett's Bistro. Like us, it may well set a new standard for your own culinary adventures.

Not what this place used to be, unfortunately we will not return. While the service was good the dishes were not up to par.

If, Brett's Bistro has closed. We were so disappointed when we went to Red River again this summer. Brett has unfortunately retired, but it is well deserved.
