The food and setting is excellent with a very nice menu selection. Our server, not as much. Christy? was very efficient to the point we're we felt like a nuisance in her next task. She was visible frustrated when we asked questions about the portion size of the daily special appetizer. She did a very perfunctory check-in but felt like she was just doing it to check the box.
We'll definitely go back... we'll just sit at the bar during future lunches.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 107139519Dec 14, 2023
The Brassiere is great! And I'm surprised I've never reviewed it. Been many times over the years and it's always great. I've been a huge fan of their Arancini and Cuban Sandwich especially.
This trip we got the Open face Turkey and Shredded pork Au jus and they were both incredibly flavorful and delicious. Easy to recommend.
We also got the Toffee Butter Cake. I really enjoyed it, my wife was disappointed in it so personal preference wins the day!
My wife also ordered a season drink and she was very happy with it. The bar had always done a great job when we've visited.
The Brassiere itself is always so quaint, nicely decorated with music softly playing. Always decorated nicely for the season, making it very cozy.
Always had great experiences with the staff, they are kind, helpful and efficient!
I highly recommend you give it a try! Enjoy!!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 122106184Feb 19, 2024
Upon entering it is really cute but it was small inside and had more of a retail "store" feel then a restaurant but no matter. We were told 10 min wait and that was ok too. Hostess seemed a tad scattered but it was a busy Saturday that they were not expecting? We ordered mocktails that were mostly ginger ale with fruit so a meh for those. We ordered arancini they were good had to eat them quickly because the restaurant was cold everytime the doors opened a fresh blast of cold air. For meals we ordered a steak panini, London broil tacos and a burger bourganon* . Everything was delicious! Prepared to order! Will definitely try again but maybe when it's not so cold out.

It was a gorgeous day to it outside and have lunch with my friend. The staff here are very friendly and kept checking on us to see if we needed anything.
I got the Steak Panini and fries. I wasn't impressed with the panini. It was ok, but not the best steak sandwich I've ever had. The steak was in strips which made it awkward to eat. Sometimes it didn't bite off so the whole piece came out. The steak itself didn't have a ton of flavor which was disappointing because I really wanted steak. The horseradish sauce was good but a little too much. A couple thin slices of red onion wasn't enough to add any flavor. Fries were good. Fresh cut and perfectly seasoned.
My friend got a salmon salad and sweet potato fries and said it was good.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Aug 26, 2023
Elevated food at a reasonable price! There were a select few seasonal cocktails, as well as an extensive beer selection. The short rib ravioli was super unique, and the accompanying chianti wine sauce was delightful. The prosciutto wrapped shrimp with risotto was also a standout. Wait staff were very nice and diligent, although there was a somewhat long wait for drink orders to come out. All in all a must try!

Went today for a late lunch after the movies with my sister. We missed the lunch menu so ordered from the regular menu. I had the bourguignon burger with garlic mashed potatoes. I ordered it medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes had a texture of being reheated but they tasted good. I ate 1/2 my sandwich and left room for desert. I love the crème brûlée here and it was great! Our waitress Carolyn was very good and attentive. The only problem was the group at the bar for happy hour was so loud we could barely hear ourselves talk. It was very distracting and several of the other diners felt the same way. I know because the room is one open space the noise has nowhere to go but they were really out of hand. I will avoid coming here during happy hour in the future.

They have a pretty good beer menu and I was excited to see Heady Topper as a beer selection in a can. It tasted fresh. The salad was great, especially the steak was tasty and cooked to perfection. The balsamic dressing was very good and side garlic bread was very good. I ate every last bit of it. I recommend this.

A very nice lunch. Seems to have improved since my last visit. A thick and delicious split pea and ham soup with a lot of meat. The bruschetta was also excellent, rich and garlicky.

Hi Steve! Thank you for your feedback...we really appreciate it. We're so happy you and your wife enjoyed your meal...hope to see you again soon to try our croque Madame and Monsieur! Thanks again
-MicheleMay 28, 2021Previous reviewWas good once. Now, not good at all. Nice service though. About the only good thing. The Dr. Frank Reisling was sour and vinegary. Not off, just bad. And at $9 a small glass, shamefully overpriced. I ordered the Coconut Shrimp skewers with rice and broccoli. It's the first time I've ever had coconut shrimp without the coconut. Incredibly bland Just a few pieces of charred pineapple, some tasteless broccoli and unseasoned rice. I won't be coming back here anytime soon. I suggest anyone thinking of going.....think again. It's really dropped off badly and with an excellent Indian restaurant next door, they really need to pull their socks up. Quickly.
Aug 16, 2017Previous reviewA very tasty crab cake on a mound of Caesar salad. Toasted baguette and loads of remoulade made for a really tasty and peaceful lunch. Well worth the money. Sit outdoors in the sun.
Aug 26, 2016Previous reviewMy 2nd meal here. The 1st time, I had an excellent Bahn Mi. Today, the Steak Frites. Great value for money. A juicy 8oz steak for $14. Can't beat that. Two minor criticisms. Could do with a few more "frites". Bit of a small portion. 2nd, and more importantly, IF you have to have tv playing, which I hate, (eating and talking is preferable,) then please please please don't have your tv tuned to a right wing Conservative channel so every time you accidentally look up, you have to see Adolf Trump on the screen which makes me want to throw up my nice steak.
Good service. Inexpensive. Great for lunch. But PLEASE don't have that moron in front of me when I'm trying to enjoy my food.Jul 9, 2016Previous reviewExcellent new casual eating place in Camillus. Very varied menu from Steak Frites to Bahn Mi. The Bahn mi was excellent, fresh crusty baguette, tasty pork filling not over herbed or spiced. The Pasta Primavera found a new fan in my wife. The service was efficient and friendly and it's very affordable and accessible. Definitely worth a repeat visit. Same menu all day a la brasserie. The only thing that I wasn't sure about were the Croques being made with Texas Toast! I'll have to try it and see if it works.

Obsessed is an understatement. This Modern French American cuisine is a staple in my family for any occasion. Whenever I have friends in from out of town this is a top spot i'll bring them to. Service is always great. Always clean, modern, and inviting. I love it here!
