Origine Brass has established itself as a vibrant West Island destination, celebrated for its high-quality house-brewed craft beers and exceptional sourdough pizzas. Guests frequently highlight the inviting atmosphere, which balances an industrial-chic aesthetic with a warm, energetic vibe suitable for both lively group gatherings and casual meals. While the menu features a range of well-regarded pub fare, the standout service provided by a dedicated and attentive team consistently earns praise for enhancing the overall guest experience. Although the spacious interior can become quite noisy and street parking may occasionally be limited, the restaurant remains a highly recommended local favorite for its consistent quality, reasonable pricing, and welcoming approach to hospitality.
The first time I went to Origine Brass, I loved it. The food, the drinks, the service, everything was amazing. I couldn't recommend it enough & told everyone I knew that they had to check it out.
Unfortunately, my last few visits have left me feeling disappointed & generally unimpressed. The following happened during my most recent visits:
- I was served an ice cold chicken burger (not just a bit "cold" like it had been sitting out for too long, but absolutely freezing like it had just come out of the freezer).
- On another occasion, we were served a pizza with a large piece of plastic in the sauce.
While these 2 incidents left much to be desired food-wise, the service remained great & call me crazy, but I still wanted to go back.
However, my latest visit has left a sour taste in my mouth, & not because of the food.
8 of us went for dinner last night. We were asked if we wanted drinks or appetizers to start. We ordered both of these things: drinks, chips & dip, & fried pickles to start. The chips & dip arrived quickly, but our other appetizer did not. Long after we finished the chips, we noticed a plate of fried pickles sitting on the counter, & it proceeded to sit there for a further 10-15 minutes. It was only brought to us when all the mains were ready.
When the food was brought to the table, we mentioned that we saw our appetizer sitting on the counter for a long while & that we hopped it would still be warm & fresh. The waitress apologized & left.
Moments later the manager came to speak to us. She asked if there was a problem. We calmly & politely explained that we didn't understand why our appetizer wasn't brought to us before our mains, when we clearly saw that the appetizer was ready well before our mains were, & it just sat on the counter. The reply we got from the manager was "There's no need to be rude."
I can assure you, we were not rude. Having worked in customer service myself for many years, I am never one to be rude to staff.
She then proceeded to explain that under the heating lamps on the counter it isn't a problem, the food stays warm. She then asked us to taste the appetizer to see if it was hot & when we told her that it was, she said "Great. So there's no problem then." & walked away.
Origine Brass, I used to love you. I really did. But everything I used to love about this place has simply gotten worse & worse every time I go & I find myself asking myself why I keep going back. I should not be being served ice cold food, I should not be finding pieces of plastic in my pizza, & I definitely should not be getting scolded & condescended to by your staff when they are the ones who were not able to offer me adequate service.
I think it's fair to say that I've given you more than enough chances. But I can assure you that I will no longer be recommending you to family & friends, & I will definitely not be coming back any time soon.
I ordered the mushroom pizza &, although there was a good amount of mushrooms, I was not able to actually taste them. I don't know what the issue there was, maybe their flavor was overpowered by other things on the pizza.
The service was also very slow. We needed to flag down our waitress 3-4 times during the dinner to order more food, water, or beer.
Beautifully designed space with a great selection of beer & well thought out menu. Unfortunately just not a great first experience,
Great beer, good food, reasonably priced. Super staff, very knowledgeable & polite. An excellent place for a good dinner & a few sips. Can be a bit noisy but that adds to the atmosphere.
We had a new server. The wine pour was poor. There wasn't an extensive wine menu. I would have liked to have heard more wines that weren't on the menu.
