I hadn't been to Brassaii since they had made renovations, and changed the feel altogether. I can honestly say its a great space to meet for drinks and chat. The 'club' part is really nice too, but the music was very mainstream- so as long as you're into that, it's a great night out!
I went to Brassaii last weekend for a friend's birthday, and after browsing the cocktail menu I decided to try something other than my usual Gin & Tonic. Talk about creativity!!! These bartenders are lighting things on fire, making drinks with ingredients I would never even think of! Among my favourites are the espresso martini called "Wake up in Venice", and the 'berry' delicious "Balsamic Bramble". But my new favourite drink (since I am a gin lover after all) would have to be "Not Your Average Joe", such a refreshing gin cocktail with cucumber and pepper in it.
A couple friends and I decided to check out Brassaii's Brunch that we had been hearing so much about. We shared a few items from the brunch menu to get a taste for it and wow, was it ever good!! We shared the Banana pancakes with apple and cinnamon compote (so fluffy and moist), their eggs benedict with their hollandaise sauce (amazing!) and their "Croque Monsieur" grilled sandwich with ham and guyere cheese. If that doesn't satisfy your appetite.... talk about options!! All of theses items were so well prepared, and came out in good time too! Add a few lemon creme pastries and some specialty Brassaii Mimosa's and we just found our new weekly Brunch location!!

STOLEN ITEMS HERE! This happened Saturday night 3/9/19! My son's $250 jacket was stolen here, right in front of him, it was a regular female who had two men help her! My son asked the restaurant SECURITY for help and they DID NOT HELP HIM. They said she was a regular and he must be wrong. …
Nothing to write home about. Over priced for what it was, very cold inside as well and no ambiance other than a Christmas party going on for some company in the other room.
Very cold place Didn’t like my appetizer ( tomato tart)
