    I have been meaning to come here for a while and so glad I finally made it in. The atmosphere was absolutely warm and welcoming and the food was so delicious! I was so sad that I can only eat so much but that's what to go boxes are for. I can see this spot becoming a place I come to enjoy with my friends that come into town and for date night. I felt like a little piece of home here in the food, the service, and the atmosphere.

    As always, the food and the service was excellent. Fish and chips sounds so basic but when it's the Brig, it's infinitely better than basic! Crunchy coating, sweet cod and delicious garlic fries. What's not to love? Our server was Jason and he was so great. Attentive, so charming, a real keeper! I'm so glad it's in the neighborhood!
