"We wanted to love this place so much. Unfortunately, that just was not possible. Initially, our visit started off promising. We were greeted, had a very short wait, was seated, then greeted by our lovely server. We ordered drinks and the Butcher’s Board, and received those fairly quickly. My husband even asked for a recommendation on their scotch, and the bartenders choice did not disappoint. However, then things started progressing downhill. While the Butcher’s Board was good and of decent value quantity and quality wise, we did have to wait 20 or so minutes to order our main entrees after receiving it. During the time that we were awaiting our entrees, a very large and loud party was sat 5 feet from us. While I do not mind people out celebrating, I do mind extremely loud, continuous cackling. During this time our drinks sat empty for quite some as well. The next and biggest issue we had during our visit was the quality of our main meals. While my husband’s and son’s steaks were very good, the rest of our meal was not. I ordered the Amish chicken. It looked so promising, but was so burnt through the entire bottom, that I could hardly chew it, yet alone cut the skin to have a bite. The sides were also very disappointing. We ordered asparagus and it was disgustingly undercooked. Literally could not eat it. We ordered the whipped mashed potatoes and there was absolutely nothing “whipped” about them. They looked and tasted like the plain, hard, and crumbly inside of a regular baked potato. We also ordered the mac and cheese which looked and tasted exactly like the mac and cheese at Long Horn. All in all it was just a very disappointing experience. Especially for the price the meal. I have zero problem paying high prices on great food, but the quality was just not there for us at Brooklyn and The Butcher. It’s sad to say, but we will not be back there again."

"A Decent Chain Restaurant. The restaurant layout is such that is cozy, relaxing, and affords some privacy. My wife craved a lemonade. The selection was country style wild berry lemonade with no ice. I went with a glass of their New South Wales sangria. It held it's own. A small loaf of bread given by Outback Steakhouse is fresh and tasty. The menu emphasizes meat. You can find some piscatorial plates on the menu that are quite good. We went straight to the entrées after ordering our libations. It is Friday again, meaning a fish day. My spouse picked tilapia with pure lump crab meat which is accompanied by mixed vegetables. This dish was very good although the tilapia was a shade done beyond our liking. Tilapia needs to have a litter shimmer while the flesh is opaque, indicating both moisture and having been cooked throughout the fillet. I selected the sesame salad with ahi tuna. The seared ahi was sliced into nearly paper thin slices. The darker than blood red pieces just melted away upon contact with the tongue. The salad appeared pedestrian, even with sliced almonds atop. The sesame vinaigrette was dynamic, invigorating the entire salad. This recently added menu dish is a winner. I was leery of choosing such a dish in a meat-centric chain restaurant. The gamble paid dividends. Dessert was an ice cream concoction that our waitress had suggested. It was Baskin-Robbins sweet and a fitting meal's end."
