Decided to venture on a weekday and try this restaurant out...thankfully, I was beyond pleasantly surprised. Nestled inside CityPlace and out of the few restaurants still open, Brimstone has a very ample and covered patio setup that made for a pleasant dining experience.
Service - There was one server for the whole area so I thought that it was going to be challenging for our server to handle the handful of tables BUT nope...! She was fantastic...! Stephanie was friendly, upbeat, knowledgeable and best of all... happy to take care of her customers even with her mask on and the unbearable (305) heat...! She didn't miss a beat throughout our dining experience; and at the end of the night, we thought we had made a friend...so priceless...!
Food - It was truly terrific...! Ordered -
*Signature Spinach & Artichoke Dip - Not usually a fan because, in most dining places, it tends to be watery; but this time I was impressed. The spinach was hearty, thick and creamy and the chips were crisp and sturdy enough to handle this great dip. It's also accompanied with a side of salsa but, unfortunately, I don't like tomatoes of any kind but it did look fresh and good enough to eat.
*Shrimp Penne a la Vodka - WOW....! The vodka cream sauce along with the parmesan cheese made this dish creamy, thick and flavorful. The pasta was perfectly al dente and the shrimp - when they say Jumbo, trust them...! - They're jumbo and plenty of them...! Highly recommend this dish that even though hearty, it's not heavy.
*Slow Roasted Baby Back Ribs - The slow-roasted and wood fire grilled taste was terrific. The ribs were tender...I would have preferred a bit more of a "fall of the bone" experience but they were good. The seasoned fries were a great carb filler.
*Bread Pudding - Must order...! Delicious, creamy, decadent and simply worth all my consumed weight watcher points.
Definitely worth the foodie experience and when accompanied with exemplary service, it made for a great outing...! If you haven't, go check'em out...Bon Appétit...!
