    Reserved a table for Mothers Day lunch. Everything was perfect from the moment that we arrived until it was time to leave. The ambience, wait staff, food was all exactly what we wanted and expected. Our waiter Conor really did a great job and took good care of us. We had the crab cakes and lettuce wedge for starters. Crab cakes were perfectly prepared, full of crabmeat and very delicious with an aioli sauce. The salad was also great with plenty of blue cheese. We had the Ribeye and New York Strip steaks. All perfectly prepared and full of flavor. Our sides were the roasted sweet potato and the roasted asparagus. Both perfect to go with the steaks. We ordered the chocolate chip cookies and the fudge sundae for desert. Wine selection was excellent and we found a great Pinot Noir that we enjoyed. Overall one of the best meals we’ve enjoyed in a great setting with a wonderful attentive staff. Will Be back.

    The food, wine, and atmosphere were absolutely perfect. The restaurant was ambient, intimate, and picturesque. My family and I were practically licking each plate clean it was so good. However the most outstanding part of our night was by far Wolmar, our server. He provided perfect recommendations of both wine and food. He was so charismatic, caring, and attentive. He truly elevated our experience, and he made our night incredibly special. The second I have the chance, I will be back at Bricco. Bravo!

    I love Saltie Girl. The service, the food and the ambiance never disappoint. For first time visitors, I highly recommend the seafood tower, the chowder and the cold lobster role. The toasts and appetizers are also delicious. They have outdoor seating in the summer as well.
