A wonderful find in Charlottetown

Oct 2024 • couples

Brickhouse Kitchen & Bar came highly recommended by PEI friends and definitely did not disappoint. In fact we were most impressed. The ambience is unique, artistic and historical. All meals and drinks were delicious and substantial. It was obvious that the establishment wanted to support local. Our server Ashton was amazing, friendly, helpful & had a great sense of humour.l. He made sure we wanted for nothing. The entire evening celebrating a birthday was 5 star. We highly recommend and will not hesitate to return when back in Charlottetown.

Delicious food, atmosphere and service

Nov 2023 • friends

Superb food. The seafood chowder was exceptional as were the truffle and Parmesan fries. The lemon crusted fish was a little small as per the price but also tasty. Definitely a place to be visited again

High praise for service, food, and atmosphere.

Apr 2022 • none

We visited the Brickhouse on a friday evening for dinner. The two lower levels were booked so we were seated on the third floor in Marc's Lounge. From the looks of things, it was a bit more casual but the menu was the same and I can't imagine the service being any better. Our waitresses were attentive and friendly and seemed genuinely pleased to serve us. We had some time to spend and were pleased that we were not rushed and in fact felt very welcome to sit and enjoy the evening. The back ground music was not live, but was very pleasant and when we commented that we liked it, one of the waitresses made a point to tell us what we were hearing. AND THEN... The food. It was delicious. It was perfectly prepared and fresh and hot. Both my companion and I ordered seafood (haddock and scallops) and it was perfectly cooked. The seasonings were exactly right. The roasted Brussels sprouts were so good , even my friend who doesn't like Brussels sprouts loved them. I ordered the Seared Scallop Orecchiette and it was one of the most delicious meals I have ever eaten in my life.

An incredibly disappointing dinner

Mar 2024 • family

Rubbery chicken burger and roast…. Carrots?? Our waitress forgot our starter and we were served barely edible food. The side of carrots were hard and there was no taste of carrot, the “dill grilled chicken” was overpowered by whatever slop was under it (no dill taste) and I couldn’t eat it as a burger, had to take it off and cut with a knife. Not at all aligned with my past experiences at the Brickhouse. The server was receptive to the feedback and adjusted the bill; however, the overall experience was just so disappointing. My partner and 12 year old had burgers and fries, those were good.

Great Place To Visit If You Enjoy Being Ignored and Treated Poorly

Jul 2022 • family

My sister, brother in law, husband and I spent a wonderful weekend in Charlottetown, and the only blemish on an otherwise amazing weekend was this place. We spotted their patio and went over and asked the server if it was possible just to sit on the patio for a quick drink. She said it was for sure, and that’s were everything started to go sideways. We were seated at a dirty table and told someone would be right along to clean it and take our drink order. We waited over 10 mins, and my brother in law went in to see if we had been forgotten. He was told our server was on her way. Our server came out shortly after and took our order for 4 drinks. We started checking our watches frequently as we had somewhere we needed to be and wanted to make sure we didn’t leave too late. We waited over 20 mins for our drinks, and one of the four was the wrong drink. We had requested that the bill arrive with the drinks since we were short on time, so we expressed that we didn’t want the original drink re-made that we wanted to just have our bill adjusted as we didn’t want the inaccurate drink. Our server did not want to remove the drink from our bill and insisted that the correct drink was already made and waiting at the bar. I told her that I would prefer to just have my accurate bill and leave as we needed to go (it was obvious the ordered drink was not actually made). She insisted we should just pay and she go get the drink. We paid. We then waited another 5 mins. She popped her head out the door to see if we were still there, went back in again and brought the drink out another minute later. It was, honestly, the grossest drink I’ve ever had, but the grossest part was how we were treated. There are so many lovely places in Charlottetown. We found the dud for you… Spend your hard earned money at a restaurant that values your business and treats you with respect. I suggest the Gahan House! Excellent food and lovely servers!

Turned away by the host

Jul 2021 • none

On Saturday, July 24th, my family went to The Brickhouse Kitchen and Bar in Charlottetown just before 5:00 p.m. for an early dinner. There were 5 of us, 4 adults and a baby. While the family waited outside, I entered to enquire if there was room to set up our granddaughter’s stroller during dinner. I was told by the young man working there that there wasn’t space available for a stroller so I asked if a high chair was available and I was told that there was. I went outside to tell the rest of the party to come in, but when we came inside together, we were told by the young man working at the door, the host, we presume, “You know what? I don’t think that we can make it work.” The restaurant was almost empty at the time, with one table occupied on the bottom floor and, it appeared that only one was occupied on the upper level. When we brought this to his attention, he said that they had a number of reservations coming in, starting at 6:00 (over an hour from the current time). Another young man, a server, we believe, said to the young man at the front, “What about table 40 (I think)?”. The host said no. My daughter asked how long a wait for a table would be and was told that he couldn’t give us a wait time because people with reservations would start to arrive at 6:00. We were not even told that we could have a table but we would have to leave by a certain time. We obviously left, very discouraged by the treatment received as it felt as if, until the family appeared at the door, we were welcome. We left the restaurant and while only a few minutes away, I called the restaurant and the phone was answered by a young lady. I asked if there were any tables available immediately for 5 people. She confirmed that yes, we could come in. We didn’t come in, of course, as we weren’t welcome, but I would have liked to have heard the young man’s excuse when we showed up at the door. The man at the door (no name tag but was young with dark, longish hair) is not the person who should be employed in that position unless you are comfortable having potential patrons judged at the door. As it turns out, we did give the Murphy Hospitality Group our business while on PEI that weekend. We ate at The Gahan House on the 23rd and ended up at The Merchantman after we weren’t welcomed into The Brickhouse on Saturday night. Our food and service at the other establishments were great and, until now, we have always felt that if we chose a restaurant in the Murphy Group, we could be confident that we would have a good experience. Because of one employee at one of your restaurants, our overall impression has changed.

Brunch, Brunch, Brunch!

Aug 2022 • none

It had been a while since I tucked into the Brickhouse when visiting home - and that was usually for drinks. A friend suggested I head down for a weekend brunch. That was a very good friend. Brunch runs 10am to 2pm on weekends, and I popped in closer to noon. The restaurant was not yet busy, being a sunny day and more people migrating to outdoor venues. Their loss. It is darker inside, but the decor is nice and trendy. Staff all very friendly and attentive. The menu surprised me the most. Grabbed a decent glass of Cava and though to try the Croque Madame. It was, beyond a doubt, the finest Croque Madame I have ever eaten anywhere. Great side of potatoes, added some Island sausages - every bite was perfection. I enjoyed the experience so much I returned the next day to try the Pork Belly Eggs Benny. Also tasty - just far too salty for my palate; but worth a try. Great restaurant and the perfect spot for brunch. I strongly recommend.

Pleasant night out

Nov 2022 • none

The Brickhouse is downtown and conveniently located to hotels. It's a lovely old building which means its a 2 story restaurant so some people might have a harder time with the 2nd story- I did not seen an elevator. The service was great and food very good but it's not a large menu. I assume a lot of pictures we saw online were specials as they weren't on the menu. We were still easily able to find some tasty food although the pork belly was very overdone and dry. The drinks were also pricey so it does make for an expensive meal.

Tasty!

Aug 2024 • couples

Had a very pleasant lunch here. I had a Tuscan Spritz cocktail ( yummy, thought is strange came w 3 olives) and the lobster grilled cheese. My sandwich was full of perfectly cooked lobster and lots of gooey cheese. I finally had to pull the lobster out if the 2nd half and just eat it. Hubs had the urger w a caesar side salad. He said burger was really tasty, with char grilled beef and lots of goodies. He had a Midnight Pretender ( Old Fashion) which he liked. Very relaxing stop after the busy lunch crowd had left. Our server did a great job.

Excellent service and food

May 2022 • none

We enjoyed an excellent starter of calamari followed by steak frites. We ordered the steak rare in the expectation that it would probably come medium rare, and we were absolutely right. However both courses were very tasty. The service was excellent and Maddie made us feel very welcome and was entertaining and friendly. An excellent evening.

A meal to remember.

Aug 2022 • couples

We started the evening by meeting one of the best trained serving teams, we have met in a very long time. Things just got better, as course after course were prepared and presented by a truly incredible kitchen staff for us. We spent most of our time in Charlottetown enjoying our meals but not loving them. On our last evening in Charlottetown, we arrived at the Brickhouse Kitchen and Bar without a reservation. This is not a good idea. We truly received their last free table, as those behind us were turned away. Everything about the service, presentation and preparation, of our meal, was perfect. If you are in Charlottetown and just want food, don’t worry about making a reservation, just wander downtown. However, should you want a meal to remember, book a reservation at the Brickhouse and Bar.

Impressed!

Jul 2023 • family

My husband, son and I were so impressed with our visit to Brickhouse tonight! As tourists with a picky kid, a kids menu is a must and he loved the mac and cheese so much that he asked me to to get the recipe 😂 my husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Service was fantastic and food came out fast and piping hot. Suggestion: start with with the caramelized onion and cheese dip 😍 will definitely be back on out next visit!!

A Pleasant Dinner in a nice modern bistro

Oct 2021 • none

Charlottetown really has a vibrant dining scene and tonight I decide to give this Bistro a try. The restaurant was located in one of these cute historic buildings. It was the pre-Thanksgiving weekend and things were sort of busy in the restaurant. I saw the host turning away guests with no reservation. Tonight I tried the Island mussels with white wine and garlic sauce starter, which was fresh and tasty, and the PEI striploin "steak frites," which was lovely. I ordered it medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. My only minor complaint is that the fries were not crispy enough. In general, Brickhouse is a nice restaurant and is worthwhile for a visit. Once again, you need to make a reservation in advance, especially during dinners and the weekends.

I think your Description might be Slightly Inaccurate

Sep 2022 • none

I take issue with the $18 Stone Fruit Salad. I know with certainty there are more stone fruits than peaches, ey they were not on my plates. And greens consisted of a heck of a lot of spinach of which I can only take so much raw. So a disappointment. I did succumb to getting one of the fancy cocktails, a Venus Rising - meh. All title and no substance. But service was good… I was with good friends, laughed heartedly, and enjoyed nighttime ambiance of this city.

A fantastic place to spend a summer evening in Charlottetown

Aug 2020 • none

Good selection on the menu. We ordered three courses, each with two small plates to share between the two of us. The bread & butter was good, but a softer, fresh loaf for the bread would have been nice. The octopus plate was an interesting combination, but very tasty. The truffle parmesan fries were excellent, and the beef tartar was very good. The snow crab was a delicious combination of a crab salad and a crab cake, and the pork belly was fantastic. To cap off the evening, the chef brought out a dessert tasting platter, which really made the entire evening for us. Service throughout the meal was fantastic. We were very impressed with the great job our server and the kitchen did with spacing out our courses. Would certainly recommend this restaurant.
