"We were there very shortly after they opened for brunch on Mother's day and I am not certain they were ready - though who goes to a brewery for breakfast?
The service was VERY slow and we had to ask (and wait) for things I would expect to be standard, like syrup to come with French Toast and jam to accompany toast on a breakfast order.
The food was good, though some of it obviously waited for other plates to be ready, as one diners food was piping hot, mine was tepid and had been waiting a while. We had brunch items (eggs benny, french toast, trad breakfast) and bread pudding for dessert - which was to die for.
All in all it wasn't a great experience, but I would give them another shot, a little later in the day."

"We were a group of 12 and this can slow down the orders but we did have to wait 45 minutes for our luch to be served and when it was served, the hot food was just warm and one person did complain that their fries were cold.
Our server was wonderful and you could tell that she was uncomfortable that the food was taking so long.
When we do have lunch, which is done on a regular basis, it is usually in smaller numbers (2-4 people) and the food come a little faster than 45 minutes."

"Had a great evening. The restaurant was very accomodating when it came to my reservation. I booked a table for a big group last year and so instead of trying to find a new place. I went back to the Central City Brewing Company because of the great service I had the last time. Also for the group it was central and easy to get to as some were coming in from Vancouver! Thank you for the great night!!"

"Online booking worked perfectly and reservations are recommended. Excellent service- very attentive and great menu selection. Red Racer India Pale Ale is worth the trip. A wonderful find and I would return. Great for couples who are getting together."

"As I work in the building, we go there quite often for lunch. Food has been good. Have had it where there must have been a change in staff and the food not so good.
Staff are always friendly and food is served quickly."

"The service and food was great. I had reserved a table for a party of 5 for four of my clients. Four tables were pressed together, in an area which was the main pedestrian egress corridor. The final chair was often bumped by people walking by.
Given that the restaurant was only at about 60% capacity during lunch, I would have preferred to have my reserved table in a more centralized area where there wasn’t so much foot traffic within the restaurant.
Other than that, we had great soup, great food, and a great service.
Thanks"
