“ This is a Very busy place and the tables are a bit closer than what pictures seemed to represent. Had we known it was this busy, we would've Definitely made reservations. Cute little town to walk around while we waited, and the food was definitely worth the wait. The service was good despite how busy they had obviously been for a long while and also very very clean. More space and some booths, or at least our choice or indoor/outdoor which i believe we could've selected with reservations, would've made this a perfect night out, but we will be adding this to our "return to" list of places for special nights. Starters and main dishes were every bit as good, but I didn't think to take pictures before we made it to dessert. ”
“ Beautiful. My Gosh! The most exquisite place for breakfast the world has ever known!!! The charm and attention to detail is stunning. The prices are right. I'm having Berry Pancakes with Berry Sauce and Scrambled Eggs a la carte. The music adds the right touch. This place is a warm hug on a chilly day. What an incredible place to dine in. There is outdoor seating as well for the Summer Spring and Autumn Months. It's a garden of culinary delight. Please be aware, I am only here for Breakfast. Dinner has to be over the top! ”

“ We love Brewster’s! The food and service is always amazing despite how busy it can get in there. Bruschetta is a must have!!! The chicken tortellini soup was delicious, and the salad was crisp. My partner got their lunch special which was a half rack of ribs on a hoagie bun with three large hashbrowns on the side. Everything was absolutely delicious!! Not to mention the skylight makes for a bright room and a beautiful dining setting. ”
