Great experience for a boozy brunch at brasserie 701. We had a bachelorette & our day's activities were cancelled because of the bad weather so we ended up starting our day at brasserie 701 for brunch. It really started our day well, the waitress Melissa was really nice, took good care of us & our bachelorette. She was also very fun & smiley! Will definitely recommend it for other bachelorettes !!
Our server Melissa was phenomenal! We went for a bachelorette brunch & she went above & beyond to ensure we had a great time. Everyone agreed that the food was the best brunch we've had. Gorgeous place as well!
Our server Melissa was so amazing, & took great care of us! The food was so good, especially the Avocado toast. I 100% recommend Brassiere 701 for brunch.
Great place for brunch. Our server Melissa was fantastic, 5 star service. She gave us great recommendations, checked in on us often without being overbearing & had such great energy!

Had a little family brunch there last sunday. We arrived at 10 am with reservations. The decor is imaginative & whimsical. The service is attentive. Every item on the menu sounds delicious, but the meals are rather ordinary compared to the glam decor. The duck confit Benedectine was delicious. The smoked salmon Benedectine was good. Mushroom toast for 23$ was a bit sad served with nothing other than a copious amount of balsamic glaze. The bread was dry & hard to cut through. A few fruits, even if just for garnish on all plates, would have added a touch of refinement. Small note: roasted potato serving sizes were inconsistent on both plates. Regular coffee is included. As we left around 12:30, the restaurant became much busier. Hopefully, they will address our few comments so we can return this summer & enjoy the wonderful decor!
Had brunch in the private room for a bachelorette party. The private room is great so would recommend for an event, very spacious we had 10 people & there was plenty of space. It was a set brunch menu, picture attached. We arrived on time & our table was not ready so we did wait about 10 minutes or so in the lounge so recognizing they were likely busy & understaffed.
The service was very very slow, with such a large group in the private dining room you would expect a more attentive service. Getting coffee & mimosas probably took a good 20-30 minutes & the food only arrived about 45 minutes after placing the order. The whole brunch took probably 2.5-3 hours.
The basket of fresh croissants & baked goods were incredible! They were warm & tasty! The rest of the brunch menu was mediocre. The latte was alright. We were given espresso martinis version of a shot at the end of the brunch on the house, which was a nice touch.
Service très inattentif, beaucoup de temps pour préparer des cocktails (plus de 15 mins avec une salle vide), personne pour vérifier si c'est à notre goût, personne pour recommander un verre alors que les nôtres sont bien vide depuis un moment & qu'on essaie d'attirer l'attention d'un serveur. Deuxième cocktails, autant d'attente, 10 mins pour nous dire qu'il manquait un ingrédient. Le barman était plus occupé à discuter avec les clients au bar que faire nos cocktails. Nous étions les seuls à commander à boire (fin de brunch). Obligé de demander la facture au comptoir. Pas un au revoir quand on croise les serveurs en partant.
Bref, jolie place, bons cocktails, mais très mauvaise expérience de service.
OMG you guys! I went for a brunch with my friends. Visiting from Toronto. This place is really nice. Food is great. & service is just 5 out of 5. Thank you to Melissa our server. She is the best. Took her time & often checked on us.
