Beaker & Gray

"Visited with my fiancé and one of my besties for brunch to celebrate our recent engagement. Everything from the food to the service was fantastic! Lucy made excellent recommendations and treated us to a celebratory champagne toast which was very sweet! I ordered the Vaca Frita. The creamy mushroom polenta, tender short rib with slightly crunchy sliced pears and onion marmalade was the perfect balance of sweet and savory! Highly recommend! Also ordered El Tigre (espresso, almond-cherry, spiced syrup and brugal). The cocktail was quite flavorful and had the little bit of a kick I needed — I only wish it were a bit bigger portion. My fiancé ordered the Wagyu burger and omg it was heavenly! We had never tried bacon jam, but it was sooo good on this burger! My bestie ordered the Crispy Duck and Waffles - the crunchy, yet moist duck combined with the sweetness of the waffle was absolutely delicious! There’s plenty of table seating indoors and some seats at the bar, but this place can get crazy busy so maybe make a rez if you’re planning to go for brunch. Vibe is kinda upscale, yet cozy. We will be back again soon!!"

"It’s rare to find a place that has excellent food, excellent service AND excellent ambience. This is Beaker & Gray. Their dishes are so original and flavors are amazing! We’ve been twice already, very consistent as well. They have brunch until 4 pm on weekends which is an absolute plus for us."

"Disappointed overall. The cocktails were great, and so was the service, but the music was too loud to hear the servers. More importantly, the food was overly salty and frequently overcooked or cold. The croquettes, for example, were served at room temperature and the sauce very salty. The scallops, on the other hand, were overcooked and chewy. Basically inedible. A sure sign the chef isn't paying attention. I can make better scallops at home! Given the price, etc, I was disappointed, to say the least. Also, the accessible bathroom is a storage closet! Sure, this place tries very hard to be hip and trendy but ultimately it failed miserably due to the poor food quality."

"Food was pretty good but the portions are on the smaller size. Service was good except for one thing: we asked for « still water » (because the waitress asked « still or sparkling? »), and they served us a bottled water that costs $9… It wasn’t nice at all, they should have asked « tap or bottled still water » before assuming we’d want the (extremely expensive) bottle… Atmosphere is overall nice: modern decoration, with darker lights. The music is a bit loud, so not the most convenient to chat. We had 2 nigiris as starters — the pork belly one was very good, albeit a tad too salty, and the portobello one was good except for the mousse (which tasted weird… a bit like soap…). We then had entrees, which were yummy: a chicken thigh and a rib fried rice."
