"We stopped in at Brookside Bar and Grill on a whim on the way through the area heading home, and we are so happy we stopped. This off the beaten road bar/restaurant is sitting quite far back from the road and would be difficult to find if you weren't looking for it. Marissa at the bar is absolutely wonderful. She greets everybody as they walk in with a warm smile and you immediately feel like a friend. The entire menu sounded really good so it was a difficult decision but we decided on the fish and chips meal and the chicken and broccoli alfredo. Both meals were very large and satisfying for the very reasonable price. For two meals we only spent $35. The fish and chips were slightly greasy, but it's a fried meal so that was expected. He fish, we believe it was cod, was nicely cooked, not as greasy as it looked, seasoned perfectly and flaked apart easily. The coleslaw that came with it was very tasty and not overly saturated with sauce which was good. The fries looked like they were going to be bland but actually had quite a bit of flavor. The chicken and broccoli alfredo was a large plate of food. The pasta (penne) was slightly overcooked and limp but it didn't detract from the fantastic flavor of the alfredo. Alfredo can be oily or under seasoned very easily, but this alfredo is perfectly seasoned, you can tell it is made in house. The chicken was beautifully cooked, fully cooked but still juicy and flavorful, and the broccoli was treated very gently so it still has a crisp edge to it but it was fully soaked in alfredo goodness. Now, the meals are really good but the chicken alfredo meal came with a cup of soup. I chose the seafood chowder and I regret nothing. This was one of the best soups I have had in years. There were so many incredible layers of flavor in that cup of soup, I could easily devour an entire cauldron of that soup and still want more. We highly recommend visiting Brookside. It is a great place to watch the game or bring your entire family for dinner. Chef is very talented and clearly has a taste for seasoning the food so you really cant go wrong with the meals. This is clearly a gem of a somewhat hidden restaurant."

"Our family came here for the lobster tasting menu; I opted to add the wine tasting. The lobster salad was a refreshing start to the meal. The chilled lobster contrasted to heat of the Banyuls vinaigrette. On the flip side, the vinaigrette overpowered any notes of grapefruit or avocado that were supposed to be present. Some members of the table noted how hot (spicy) the vinaigrette, but I thought it was reminiscent of the vinaigrettes I had in France. The lobster bisque was luxurious and bursting with flavor. The lobster meat in the bisque had an excellent garlic flavor. The bisque itself probably had a tad too much of a seasoning I can't pin down (seemed a bit more Cajun). The wine paired with this meal was excellent; the nose was strong and acidic but the palate was delicate, creamy, and had a hint of stone fruit. The red snapper...this is the reason why I didn't give 5 stars. It was not seasoned, I knew it from the first bite. And there was no salt on the table so I used the salted butter instead. Textures were appropriate, fish was cooked well, presentation was nice, but it was not seasoned properly. The Pinot that was served was a bad pour and contained sediment. I let our waiter know but told me it was normal. Shortly after this course, the waiter came back with another glass of Pinot, and acknowledged the error...nice save. The Pinot was delicious with fruit forward notes of jammed berries with a slight peppery note. The beef tenderloin was next; properly cooked and well seasoned. The sauces that were served with tenderloin were well made. Rich and creamy flavors. Nothing stood out but nothing fell flat either. The chocolate tower was for dessert. Delicious chocolate that wasn't overly sweet and a gold dusted macaron (interior tasted of hazelnut). Unfortunately I could not taste much pomegranate in this dessert...maybe it was more of a textural element. Service was polite and prompt from our main waiter. His support staff could use some work, the one young man would just come up at random and start taking/bringing plates without saying a word. Overall, I would come back to give it another shot. For the price, I was expecting more from the meal with some of the errors that were made."
