Three over-70 folks were extremely happy with this first visit to Brasserie 23. My appetizer was a tasty lentil salad, followed by a spicy and succulent Basque seafood chowder. I know I’ll be back and have that chowder again. Pricing was excellent. Overall, I feel we received an exceptional value.

We had a very nice time. The food was great. My husband’s steak was not medium rare so they quickly made another that was. It was delicious. We are interested in coming to a wine dinner.
