    Great food, lovely atmosphere, groovy music and a beautiful place to be. Service could be better for such a nice venue and the price point. Amazing food and drinks are good as well.

    We booked a table in advance but had to stand and wait for 45 minutes to be seated. The staff weren’t much of a help and it was very frustrating considering we had an elderly disabled person with us.

    I first dined at Brasserie of Light over three years ago, and while the location and ambiance remain as stunning as ever, my recent visit left me with mixed feelings. To start with the positives: the food was beautifully presented, and the setting is undoubtedly gorgeous, making it a great spot for a special occasion. However, some aspects of the service and food were underwhelming. The staff was a mixed bag—while some were incredibly friendly and attentive, others seemed either uninterested or distracted, which impacted the overall experience. Unfortunately, the food didn’t quite hit the mark this time. The chicken, while plated beautifully, was a bit dry, and the fries had to be sent back because they were cold. On top of that, despite requesting a specific seating area when making the reservation, we weren’t seated in our preferred spot. Overall, Brasserie of Light still has a lot going for it with its stunning decor and central location, but I’d hoped for a smoother, more consistent experience, especially given my fond memories of dining here in the past. I’d consider giving it another try, but I’d hope for some improvements in service and attention to detail next time.

    Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the ambiance and food presentation, but we're sorry to hear the service and food didn't meet expectations this time. We’ll address the service inconsistencies with our team and ensure quality checks are improved in the kitchen. We also apologize for not accommodating your seating preference and will take that into account for future reservations. We appreciate your loyalty and hope to welcome you back soon for a smoother experience.

    Service was bizarre. The staff would be overly attentive and then forget about our table for 20 minutes, leaving us with dirty dishes on our table, empty water glasses and cocktails presumably sitting at the bar getting warm and being served well after our meal was served and half eaten.
    Brasserie of LightResponded 2 days ago
    Thank you for sharing your experience, and I sincerely apologize for the service issues you encountered. This is not the standard we strive for, and I understand how frustrating it must have been to experience such inconsistency. We’ll be addressing this with our team to ensure better attention to detail and a more seamless service moving forward. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to provide a much improved experience on your next visit.

    The food and menu is very similar to the Ivy and quite average. Front desk staff seemed clueless - couldn’t find our booking and didn’t bother checking properly. The only saving grace was our server Daniel, who was exceptional.
