I didn't even get there. The girl on the phone was so rude to me, and then she hung up! I only asked her what time they closed. I called back and asked to speak to her manager, she put me on never ending hold. Very disappointed as I was looking forward to a great meal to celebrate the purchase... More

Food was pretty good. Can't say for sure that its authentic Italian some of the stuff seems premade and the cheese seems cheap American idea of mozzarella but still better than olive garden by a long shot. Service not too bad either not memorable but not terrible. Will come back for another chance on a hopefully less busy evening

Love this place for outdoor dining. It's a great place to eat, relax and have a bottle of wine. Everything I've had here has been great...pizza, pasta, salad. Highly recommend it!

The offerings are consistently of high quality with a wide selection that is changed on a regular basis. Long waits can be expected in season. If you have a choice in seating be aware that some of the dining room tables are quite close to where servers pickup your meal. The servers are very friendly and helpful. On occasion, there... More

Food is authenic, service is great, atmosphere is cozy. There is a fireplace in the lounge area, and smaller one in dinning area. Prices are very reasonable. Restaurant is located in New Buffalo Michigan. Can't go wrong when you go there.

It has been several years since I have been back to Brewster's. My recent visit did not disappoint. The drinks were not watered down, the wine list exceptional. We ordered the dinner for two with: pizza, entree, and dessert. The pizza was probably pretty good for most people but back in my hometown pizza quality rivals Chicago and New York,... More

We ate hear with another couple and we both ordered the dinner for 2, about $32. You start off with a large salad (good, not great), followed by a 2 item pizza to share (great), followed by an entree to split (we had the filet - very good), followed by warm cookies (pretty good). We each also split a bottle... More

Went back after a long winter's nap. Got there at 5pm (EST) to avoid the crowds. Sat in a nicely warm room with gas fireplace. The dinner for 2 is just right. Salad, pizza, entree and cookies. Cost $32 for 2. The martinis are $8, a great value and wines by the glass are $7.50. Waiter was great and attentive.... More

After reading most of the good reviews on tripadviser and the location being right across from our hotel we were excited to have a nice meal. Let me say the best thing about being there was the bottle of wine we got with dinner. My boyfriends soup was good (it was the clam chowder) and he said his dinner was... More

Brewster's came highly recommended by the hotel staff. We were there on a Sunday evening and it wasn't busy. The atmosphere was very casual and relaxed. I ordered a pizza expecting a personal size but it was huge. My husband ordered the lasagna. It was a huge portion and he loved it. The service was outstanding. We will definitely eat... More
