Went for the Valentine’s Day tea…the table was wobbly and we had to move the table to get in and out of the booth. The tea presentation wasn’t aesthetically pleasing and quite mismatched. The mushroom soup literally tasted like very strong ground up mushrooms. The only good food was the tea and the crumpet that they brought out. Desserts weren’t even that good. The tea sandwiches were soggy and tasteless. Overall a pretty disappointing service for $130 per person. It was probably worth more like $35. I’m quite disappointed with the experience and won’t be going back.

Great restaurant but be ready for a long wait and a little bit overpriced. Both my husband and I love the restaurant. The atmosphere was great, the food was really good and the staff was professional and polite But we would both complain about the timing. We had a reservation on Saturday at 7:30 pm we were seated at 8:00. Since we were hungry we orders appetizers and a main course in the first 10 minutes, but our food was served to us TWO hours later. Appetizers appeared at 9:00 and dinner at 10:00 pm. We were not ready for that.

We really enjoyed our meal at Brindille. The service was friendly and very attentive, the ambience quite pleasant, and the food was great. The one critical note would be that it’s not cheap - we had seen the regular menu on their website and thought it was quite expensive. When we went, it was during restaurant week, and the menu price even then was up there, with portions being somewhat stingy. We did really appreciate our food and the service though, and we’ll probably go back to try the regular menu too. Honorable mention for their version of an île flottante- it was absolutely delicious.

We went for the Valentines tea. Food was mediocre. Tea was mediocre. Cocktails were great, service was disappointing. very stuck up for some reason. The workers’ focus was mainly on a group of their friends. You could tell that they knew the owner, and all of the wait staff only paid attention to them, and gave them special treatment, whilst ignoring us. Price was ridiculous for the service and food that we received.($150 per person after drinks) We wouldn’t recommend teatime. May return in the future to experience their dinner menu, but will not return for, or recommend their tea menu.
