"Named for the mountain passage forming the border of Austria and Italy, Brenner Pass offers seasonally inspired European fare in a chic, urban setting. Executive chef Brittanny Anderson (also of Metzger Bar and Butchery) showcases local ingredients in updated takes on French, Italian, Swiss and Austrian dishes. Don’t miss the craft cocktails, house-made pastas, European charcuterie, and of course the fondue. Other pluses include a curated selection of biodynamic and natural wines, and a large patio for al fresco dining. Serving dinner from 5pm Tuesday – Saturday and Sunday brunch 11 to 4." - The Frontier Project
"Top Chef alum (and current Tournament of Champions semifinalist) Brittanny Anderson’s ode to the food and wine of the Alps, Brenner Pass offers a spacious, modern setting to enjoy fondue in Dansk pots, chicken liver mousse, or a roasted half chicken with mustard apple jus. But save room for a trip next door to Black Lodge, a fun-loving dive bar born during the pandemic where killer cocktails pair nicely with the “Tower of Power” — a selection of hot dogs, patty melts, and French fries that satisfy late-night cravings in one fell swoop. Looking for something just a skosh more German? Head to Church Hill to sister restaurant Metzger Bar & Butchery, where the Frühstück Brett (charcuterie, pretzel roll, soft egg) at brunch is an unmatched delight." - Stephanie Ganz
"A restaurant from a locally prominent chef-owner that forms part of a small portfolio of acclaimed dining destinations in the region." - AFAR
"Run by chef and co-owner Brittanny Anderson — a Top Chef and Chopped alum — Brenner Pass is described as an Alpine-influenced restaurant that Anderson also operates." - Tierney Plumb
"As chef-owner of Brenner Pass, Anderson was a 2018 James Beard semifinalist, and reviews by Bill Addison similarly praised the restaurant, endorsing her lager-braised sauerkraut and declaring she “gets it” in reproducing regional European flavors." - Gabe Hiatt
