So my husband tells me he has read about this new place on River Oaks Shopping Center called Brasserie 19, we pull up the menu and are very impressed with it. We are excited and as a teenager I get ready 2 hours before our date to make sure everything goes perfect!
And he head out to the restaurant, our reservation was at 8:00 we get there promptly only to experience a mob of people standing around the hostess podium and looking for a place to stand while waiting, 15 mins delay on reservations. We get lucky and score a couple of seats in the bar we order some champagne and start chatting while we wait. 15 mins later we get seated, our waiter was very pleasant and attentive! Great first impression, their wine list comes in an iPad app that immediately impresses my husband!
We order stone crab claws cocktail which was so fresh that it was hard not to lick your fingers after you are done! 6 claws and a bowl of only lump crab meat with onion vinaigrette!
My husband ordered some frog legs, that were to die for! Sob well seasoned and the sauce that accompanied them was outstanding!
Our wine cane as soon as we ordered it, not with the correct temperature but oh well, my mojito kept me chilled....
Our entrees were the halibut dish that was cook to perfection paired with spring veggies sautéed in a light butter sauce. And for him the hen prepared with mashed potatoes and spinach, one word AMAZING!
We ordered a berries tart and banana bread pudding for dessert, we were not impressed.... Not that they were bad but not what we expected after such a nice meal!
The restaurant is a little pricy, but it is worth every penny! Great atmosphere, awesome vibe and very Chic and trendy! Def the place to be seen!
I will go back gladly to Brasserie 19 and I will recommend it to everyone I know!
