I ate there this weekend and it was pretty tasty. It offers a good variety. They have a build your own salad bar, they make noodles and sauce with veggies fresh in front of you, and great paninis. The staff was ridiculously friendly. It could take a little while to get your food though since they make everything fresh, but it’s worth it.

I hope they are successful, but that street is ugly (not inviting at all – and this prevents me and my family from going there anymore – Gandolfo’s was very good – but location stinks).
Sore spot: Sidewalks are awful, actually, sidewalks and streets in downtown are awful (more potholes than any city I know in the Northeast or Midwest).
Again, the city needs to get their heads out of their a_ _ es. Need new wider sidewalks in all of downtown (not walker friendly, roots are lifting sidewalks, curbs are cracking, some brick, some cement, looks ugly – take a close look everywhere.

Thanks to Ginny’s review, I plan on checking this place out. As for the other side conversation going on, I agree that Wilmington St. needs some rehab. The other day I was looking at the generic signs in the windows of the Brass Grill and how bad they looked. I then noticed for the first time that the upper half of the building is covered with ugly painted metal siding (as are many DTR facades.) I love the Brass Grill and they have possibly the greatest mashed potatoes in creation but they can’t even display a proper sign. I can’t help but think that beneath all of those cheapo sidings are potentially great looking early 20th century buildings and windows waiting to see the light of day.

I will check it out, as well.

Brass Grill is a beautiful building indeed. Don’t worry – it’s on the radar for a really nice spruce-up – will be here before you know it!
