Brasserie Brixton

Loved this restaurant! The food was great and service was good. We made a reservation but ended up being 30 minutes late, luckily they were able to hold it after I called them about our delay. We had the skull and roses and the Paris is burning drink. The skull and roses was super delicious I loved the tart cherry flavor with the whiskey. Didn't taste much rosemary at all. The Paris is burning was refreshing and spicy. We had the baguette with butter, the duck, and the steak frites. The baguette and butter was delicious. It was a bit hard to eat the baguette because the bread wasn't sliced. The duck was super delicious and cooked perfectly. Loved the crispy skin and the Asian influence. The sauce was a bit too salty for my taste. The radish cake was good and I liked the texture but I lost the radish flavor and wish they could've kept the radish flavor a bit better. The steak frites was good and a big portion. The steak was cooked well and the flavor was great. The steak was a bit chewy. The salad was dressed perfectly. The fries were good overall, could've been crispier. For dessert we had the pot de crepe and the cheesecake. We were celebrating a birthday so I request a candle in the pot de crème in my memo. They didn't do that which was disappointing. The pot de crème was rich but a good texture. It's pretty small so we got the cheesecake also. I asked for a candle in the cheesecake and the waitress said ok, but still no candle. The cheesecake was pretty rich and texture was decent overall. Not too sweet and I liked the honey sauce. With dessert we got the cognac and the 20 year aged wine. The cognac was super strong and the aged wine was good, not too strong but tasted a bit like cough syrup to me. Definitely have had better aged wines before but it went well with the desserts. Then they brought out another pot de crème with a candle. That was great and I'm glad we got the candle. But then we had to eat three desserts. The food we ordered was a good sharing size for two who were really hungry after a day of activities. The third dessert made us stuffed. Overall service was good. We were seated immediately. It took some time for ordering and then getting our drinks. The food came out at a good pace. And then there was the candle debacle but we got it eventually. Overall loved the location of the restaurant and decent free parking around. Would recommend for a nice night out that's not too crowded.

This place was great! I don't find myself hanging out in this area very often, but it was a nice change of scenery. Tables are pretty close to other folx, so if you aren't comfortable with that, maybe ask to be sat elsewhere like the bar? In addition to this, it was awkward watching people trying to squeeze in and out between separate tables. Butts in my face isn't exactly ideal for dinner. The food was delicious and the service was great. Service wasn't overbearing and pretty attentive to our needs. Food wise- I got the steak frites and my date got the duck. Both so good and came out in a reasonable time! Only downside was my drink. I got the Pink Drink, which mostly just tasted of Gin. Which I didn't hate, it was just SUPER strong, haha. This place is expensive, so keep that in mind. I might come back if I find myself in the area again or am looking for a "treat yourself" meal.

Top 3 French Onion Soups I have had in Denver! And I have lived here most of my life! Sat at the bar with a friend. Staff was perfect. Observant and had great recommendations.Had the Hamachi, French onion soup, and two cocktails. Hamachi was great, very flavorful. I felt the cocktails were ok, $17 for that size of drink with that amount of ice is crazy. Should have stuck to beer.But the French Onion Soup (and the staff) was worth the trip and the bill. I will be back and I will be telling friends.

My husband and I wanted to try out this restaurant for our second anniversary. Walking in, the ambiance was lovely - the lighting was warm and the decor was fresh and cozy.Sitting down, we met our waitress, who was nice, but a bit stand-offish. The seats were a bit on the smaller side and close to other tables, so if you're worried about others hearing your conversation, you may want to ask for a table with some more space. However, it wasn't an issue for us.We started our meal with their baguette and salted butter - yummy, but our waitress implied that it came with the meal, and wasn't a separate $12 charge. Don't get me wrong, it was absolutely delicious! But we felt a bit mislead.For an additional appetizer, we ordered the french onion soup, as I've somehow never tried it before. It was amazing! While I don't have much to compare it to, I was thoroughly impressed and would order again. I ordered a gin-heavy cocktail, which I would recommend.I ordered steak and fries, while my husband ordered the duck. Both were perfect, and blew our expectations away. My steak was cooked just how I asked, and there was plenty of it, covered in a yummy flaky salt. The fries and side salad were also big portions and tasted great. My husband's duck included an egg (also cooked perfectly!) and some delicious oily sauce on the plate. We were absolutely in love with our entrees, and felt that they were priced super fairly. The issue came about when we paid. We paid our bill and tipped, and all seemed well. However, when my husband got his statement back, there was an extra charge on the tip that was higher than he had paid. He wrote the tip down very clearly, so it felt like our waiter was trying to pull one on us. Thankfully, we got in contact with the manager, who venmoed my husband the difference and apologized for what had happened.Due to the additional charge on the tip and the weird bread situation, I can't give this place 5 stars. I was between 3 or 4, but thankfully the owner was understanding. However, the food and drinks that we had were delicious, and we would go here again to enjoy their great food and ambiance, giving the service another chance. I want to reiterate again that the food was not the problem at all! I recommend that you give this a try for a nice dinner!

Brasserie Brixton is located in the Cole neighborhood and to my surprise, I had no clue that there are restaurants and cute little bars located in the residential area. Came in for a birthday celebration and I wasn't sure what to expect. The menu was pre-fixed and served as family style due to our party size. The dishes that stood out were the Beef Tartare with bone marrow aioli and cured yolk egg, Duck with the radish cake, duck egg, sweet soy, and chili crisp, and the steak frites which had a delicious peppercorn sauce. Although Brasserie Brixton states its a French restaurant, the dishes that we've tried had some Asian flare which I loved! I've also ordered some cocktails and although its beautifully and deliciously made, but it is a bit overpriced ($18 for a small martini glass). Overall, our dining experience was exquisite and thank you to the staff for serving our large party!

Great for a date night or small group! *Reservations are needed. Most importantly the food was amazing. Hamachi Crudo was quite plentiful and out of this world delicious. Love the Caviar bump, just so you get a little taste. French onion soup was so flavorful and filling. The burger was good, but the bun got way too soggy in a short amount of time. Would have liked the bread to be toasted or something so the bread doesn't get wet and mushy. The Wontons were okay, not for me but I can see how people like it. This was a hard one between 4.5 and 5 stars. I did have to take off half a star because of the seating situation. When I got there at 5:15 there was only one table, for some reason the host decided to sit every party very close together. There were four tables and they sat everyone right next to each other. The tables are extremely close, and it was quite awkward when most of the restaurant was empty. Unfortunately, it did affect the experience. Either way highly recommend for the food! I plan on coming back and trying a few other items especially the mussels which were sold out. Strong 4.5 stars.

I fully expected to give this place 5 stars when I walked in so perhaps my experience was an off night. It was Wednesday and while there were a good number of patrons, it was not particularly busy. Food wise, for a place that calls itself a brasserie in one of the less up and coming neighborhoods of Denver, the entire menu other than drinks is about 25% more than it should be. $42 for an average cut of steak and $38 for essentially 3oz of duck thigh, not to mention $12 for bread (!!) and $20 for a 4oz ball of burrata ... eh. The burrata was indeed very tasty with crispy spring vegetables and a citrus gremolata. Should it have come w bread or crackers? Yes. The steak frites was cooked fine but came out cold. It's possible the kitchen was waiting for the duck plate to be done but that the sauce and fries were colder than room temp is ... less than ideal. As well, the steak had some silver skin that made the eating experience a little less enjoyable. All the same, it was a good portion and they're not stingy on the fries - they just needed to be hot. And the duck ... please see photo of the amount of oil. Yes, all of that orange is Oil. Of course Confited duck thighs will be fatty but this was another level. And the piece was Soo small. The turnip cake it was served with was tasty but the ginger was so overpowering that you couldn't taste anything else. The service was fine but one thing I wasn't thrilled with is that the table wasn't wiped down. The bread was very crusty (and the plate, very small) and left a storm of crumbs on the table. The server collected all the silverware and then put new silverware down on a pile of crumbs... The space is really inviting and the drinks are pretty good. I'm not sure if we'll be back though. For $215 w tip, there is better French food to be found.

Big yikes, how did such a highly rated restaurant get it so wrong? Perhaps it's just different taste buds? Who knows, but I'm going to be honest with this review.I came here in the summer, so this is a bit of a delayed review, but my friends and I were in town for a big show and we wanted to eat somewhere nicer with good reviews. This place popped up and looked very promising. The decor is modern and homey.We started with some appetizers, including french fries, tartare, and the pate. Fairly standard fare, but a huge easy miss on all the appetizers. First, the fries were insanely salty to the point where we actually sent it back. I like salty food, heck, I've even swallowed sea water on accident when scuba diving. This was inedible. I felt bad sending it back, and there was some snark that came back at us when the new fries came back, "here are your LOW SODIUM fries". They were still super salty but not inedible this time. During this time, my friend who ordered the burger waved down the server to ask for no salt on her side of fries because even this "low sodium" fries was pretty salty.The pate itself wasn't terrible, but the pickled mustard was overly sweet... like it tasted like it had a TON of added sugar. I like mustard, but this was such an unnecessary addition.The salmon tartare also was alright, but there was a layer of candied (meyer?) lemon gel that was overly sweet and offputting. This dish could have worked without it. Finally, for the 3 main dishes, we got the steak, the burger (with unsalted fries), and the bouillabaisse. - The steak was tough and chewy despite being medium rare (and it seemed to be cooked properly too, but perhaps it wasn't cut against the grain. The fries with this were not adjusted for salt so these were too salty.- The burger had an under seasonsed patty (huge surprise), but the unsalted fries were actually perfectly salty (they were salted just right, like mcdonalds fries)- The bouillabaisse was recommended by the waitress and I decided to go for it. The scallops were way over cooked to death and rubbery. The mussels were fishy and didn't taste fresh at all, and the sea bass was also quite over cooked. Now let's talk about the cocktails. I love a good well balanced cocktail, and between everyone in our party, we tried all the listed cocktails on the menu. Every drink was overly sweet with too much simple syrup.I know I complained a lot, and usually if I don't think something is done properly, I still eat it / consume it. This was the first time we left most of the food on the table.This is not a place I'd recommend or come back to, and to be honest, I'm quite surprised nobody else has complained about the taste. Either way, I really hope they improve their food, but it seems like the locals enjoy it so maybe don't change what isn't broken?

This is super cute, airy space. Unfortunately, my eating companions weren't the most adventurous of eaters, so we started with the burrata. It was delicious, don't get me wrong, but there were lots of other tempting items I would have had to commit to on my own haha.I can't remember what they got, but I got the duck. This was lucky as it seems the bulk of the wine options are natural and therefore my red tasted like sour cherries, which, incidentally, goes great with duck.We ended with the donuts, which my mom loved. She also loved her mocktails.Service was great.It was a bit loud in there, so for the hard of hearing, it might be a challenge. I'll definitely have to return.

Awesome service and food! I had the French onion soup and can't wait to have it again!
