My friends and I dined at Brickhouse with high expectations given the positive reviews it's received. As others have written there's a no reservation policy so one of us arrived at 7pm to put our name down for a group of 6 people and was told we would have a table at 9pm. There's no room to drink there as they use the bar to serve diners so you're left with the rather poor choices in LKF. I'm sure the bars in LKF are very happy with the no reservation policy as it means they can rake in a few
We started with handmade tortilla chips, guacamole and salsa. Given the price the quantity of all items was on the small side. One of the salsas was more like an Indian mint sauce but the other items were all good. Two of our group were vegetarian and as there were few suitable items on the menu quickly made their choices whilst the rest of us had much more choices to make. We suggested to the waiter he take our vegetarian friend's order first and then ours but he only took their order and it took us a while to flag him back to take ours. We had the witch's brew, beetroot chips, vegetarian chilli relleno, tuna tostada and various tacos. All the dishes were on the small side especially the beetroot chips which we would all have liked to try but with only 6 pieces had to leave to the vegetarians. I sometimes buy beetroot at the wet market and given the price they were charging think the serving should have been much more generous.
Our initial choice of drink was a pitcher of frozen lime margarita. It didn't have any tequila kick and when we asked for a spoon to stir it with were given a table spoon which didn't reach to the bottom. This should be served with a long handled spoon otherwise all the alcohol sinks to the bottom.
The venue is fun with interesting decor but the music a little too loud to have a conversation.
The food here isn't Tex Mex but quality, proper Mexican which is just what Hong Kong needs. Unfortunately with a wait time of 2 hours for a table, over-priced food for tiny portions and poor service I won't be going back. What a shame as their food really is good!
