    From the moment we walked in, we were treated like rock stars. The service is wonderful and friendly from everyone; it’s like they are actually happy to see us there. If you are thinking about getting the tortilla soup, just go for it—AMAZING! The appetizer dish of cheese and jalapeños was excellent, but save room. The steak was cooked to perfection and the potatoes were delicious. Only wish I had room for dessert—next time!

    My wife and I ate dinner at Brenner’s on a Wednesday evening. The place was busy but our reservation was ready on time. Our waiter, Daniel, was superb. knowledgeable, pleasant, attentive and helpful. His suggested appetizer of bacon wrapped stuffed shrimp was absolutely superb. We both ate the short rib with mole and grits, honestly one of the best dishes either of us has eaten in a long time. Wines by the glass were acceptable in quality and price. Clearly we did not eat or drink from the high end of the menu which would have been way over the top in price, but what we chose was fair value. Overall a very good experience.
