We've gone to happy hour at Brasserie twice in the last week, and had rather different experiences. The first time was super, which is why we returned so soon. The service was great, and Finlandia cosmos and martinis were just $5. They also have deals on beer, wine, and cocktails. "Snacks" are $1, $2, $3, and $5, and are much larger that one might expect for the price. We had WAY more food than we needed, and with two rounds of martinis we were only out $35.
When we returned yesterday, we were rather disappointed. The service was not nearly as good. Plus, the cosmos were $6.75 each for the EXACT drink I had last time. I asked, and the waitress claimed that she'd never seen them for $5. Also, our onion rings were way late and they offered to comp them (we didn't ask), but when we got the bill they were on there. So we had two questions about the bill, and even though I asked nicely, the waitress seemed to take offense (I didn't ask to have prices adjusted or anything, and said I was happy to pay more for my drinks). It's your job as a waitress to serve the customer, so don't get angry when I ask questions. Generally speaking, though, the food is great and it's a nice restaurant. I did notice that it's noisy in there, so I might not go for the romantic upscale dinner that seems like a good idea otherwise.
Happy hour is 7 days until 6:30, Brasserie is on Walnut across from the St. Julien.
