The Brick Tavern Grille - CLIFTON PARK

Had a late lunch on Saturday and would go back. Our daughter just moved to the area this weekend and we went first place. The four of us enjoyed the food, the atmosphere outside and our hostess was a lot of fun. She really gave us a great service.

We are addicted to this place. We eat their religiously once a week. Staff is amazing (5 stars)and food is always fantastic. Everyone is friendly and the atmosphere is always pumping. Love the option in the warmer months to dine or have a few cocktails outside their deck. We will continue to go back again and again.

Service was prompt and friendly. Food was excellent. Calamari was well prepared and the mac and cheese was luscious. The buffalo chicken calzones were praised by those who had them. The only downside was the bruschetta...too much onion and not enough tomato.

One of the best watering holes in Clifton Park. Even on the busiest of nights, the staff is prompt and courteous. The food never falters in quality and quantity. And it's easy to navigate through the usual crowds in the spacious aisles. Restrooms are very clean, roomy, and modern.

Typically, I would not be in other reviews, but I believe that this is justifiable. As a resident of the capital region, I would like to support local companies and often refer to Yelp and Facebook reviews before visiting a new restaurant. After having been at the old Brick House and new Brick at numerous occasions, I would like to offer my review before my review. The setting of the new building is very welcoming. It has a central bar with seating, some height meters, a few cabins, several side rooms for larger parties and an outdoor area overlooking a pond. With the numerous large TVs, you would think that The Brick would feel a sports pub, but it definitely not. Every time I went in there was a good mix of families, parties and friends who just hang around and watch the game. The outdoor terrace is beautiful for summer evenings and offers the outdoor ambiance that many are looking for in the summer months. Live entertainment is also a beautiful note that The Brick offers. I would say that the only drawback to The Brick, regarding the attitude, is his situation. Although not too far away from many of the other restaurants in Clifton Park, many people cannot think of stopping Brick first because of its kind from the beaten path. However, if you learn where it is, it will be a simple goal. The staff was always courteous and friendly. When the facility was opened, I experienced some Hiccups in terms of waiting time, but this has become better over time. I've never experienced a bartender or server that was rude to me. Once I had a grilled chicken salad where the chicken was cooked. When she was alerted to the server, she immediately took him back to the kitchen and a new dish was made. A manager accompanied the server with the new court back to the table and sincerely apologized for the error and made an easy adjustment to the bill. Now the important part; the food! Most of the time I go to the Brick, I'll order pizza. It is by far her best food option. With so many options and styles, you can not have a bad cake! Every time I had the pizza, it was great. Just my favorite pizza in the area. I had different menu options on some occasions. Sandwich and salad wise, their selections were good, but pizza remains king at Brick. 'The Dirty Bird ' Sandwich is worth a try. Overall a great place to bring the kids or meet with friends to see the big game. Embedded by Cliton Park Center and the Clifton Park YMCA, it is a locally owned restaurant that you want to check out 'll definitely! Now for a review on a post that I recently read with a 1 star review. Apparently a few days ago a customer was embarrassed as they tried to pay with a 1951 one hundred dollars, and it failed the fake pen detector test, brown/black when the bill was marked by the pen. You can read the review below, but basically the customer goes on to tear the restaurant / policy for handling the situation. As a little background, a fake proof recorder uses a starch/iodochemical reaction test for its detection of fake currency. When a marking is applied to the paper, the iodine from the pin reacts with any substance on the surface of the paper, resulting in a visible color reaction. With real currency, a bright yellow/transparent color reaction shows that the currency is legitimate. If the resulting color reaction is brown/black, then the currency is suspicious or fake. The principle of color reaction is that genuine US currency contains 75% cotton and 25% linen. Non-heat papers contain pulp containing starch in its base, or chemical additives of starch to glue. Thus, if the iodine from the pin comes into contact with the starch from the paper, a dark color reaction occurs. Traditionally, real currency consisted of 75% linen and 25% cotton. However, the shortage in World War II led to a decrease in the proportion of linen from 75% to 50% and an increase in the proportion of cotton from 25% to 50%. Finally, in 1956 the treasury reduced the proportion of linen from 50% to 25% and increased the proportion of cotton to 75%. This percentage of 25% linen and 75% cotton is the standard for what is used today. Well, after the review, the customer inspects that this is common knowledge and should be known by everyone. You've learned this in the eighth grade printing machine class, haven't you? With regard to this process, the customer apparently says something that the restaurant is not trained, then the officers obviously also have no idea. Apparently, untrained in sentence structure and grammar, the customer does not realize that he is in a restaurant, not the US Federal Reserve. Well, it can be my wrong assumption, but I assume that the staff in the restaurant is trained to mark all high-dollar currency with a fake recognition pencil. The staff therefore marks the bill and if the bill fails the audit, the authorities contact the authorities as trained. Inconvenient for the customer? Sure, but as with any business, are correct protocols for these types of situations. As a side note, with the current circulation rate of the US currency, older invoices are not seen as often as they were once, so one could understand how this particular invoice could increase suspicion of appearance alone. My only question is if the failed pen recognition on older invoices was known by the customer, why would they not mention that if they handed the bill to the server, at least recognise the potential negative situation? Then, to the shock of the customer, the restaurant examines the rest of its currency to see whether it is considered a fake. Who would have thought? The customer says that their party was embarrassing because customers of their family owned the gas station were in the building. I understand. You try to create a list of how terrible your experience was. But it's a gas station. People go there to get gas, not to visit a black tie. This issue will not affect your company levels. And if it does, lower the fuel price to hit your competitors and increase your customer base. Finally, the customer says that the food we had to end up getting out ended up a raw in the middle grilled chicken sandwich... Here too I will try to decrypt the hieroglyphs of this partial declaration. The food we needed in the end to get out... I suppose you ordered food in the restaurant and then decided not to eat it there, but take it home as a food? Or did you order it as a food? Anyway, you ordered a chicken sandwich that was raw in the middle. First, I'm surprised you took the food home after this whole ordeal, as I probably would have left the facility in an unpleasant mood. If one assumes that one has taken it home, one would not have found out that it was raw in the middle until one came home and tried to eat it. Did you call the restaurant to tell them it was raw and that you want a new sandwich? If so, how did they react? If not, you have no right to complain. The restaurant is located in the shop of serving food, not in mind reading. Finally, your one star rating will be sung. They assessed the restaurant on the basis of a proper protocol on the threat of a felonic activity to which they were fully met according to the steps they were trained. As an entrepreneur, you cannot blame them for it. After the knowledge of the fake recognition pencil does not work on the older currency, it should have been mentioned before the invoice was handed over, and perhaps this situation would not have occurred. I would encourage you to read your future reviews before you post them because, as the restaurant seemed uneducated on fake currency detection for you, you seem uneducated in sentence structure and grammar. This criticism is not to have a condesctive undertone, but one that shows the various circumstances you, yourself. As a sidenote, if you have the news stations about the story on how Local Restaurant Follows Proper Money Handling Procedure Despite Angry customer, I would probably give your rant with correct English and remove your Facebook profile image from you to give the middle finger. It only shows a little less credibility for your character, doesn't it? Oh, and as a disclaimer; I was sitting at the airport waiting for my flight, so yes, I had time to write this, and no, I really had nothing better to do with my time at this exact moment. Cheers.
