Seems to be nearing its final end. Food was smothered in horrific gravy. They seemed to be out of everything we wanted off the menu. The onion soup had to have been put in a microwave because it was strangely hot and the rubber cheese had no color. Wait staff was truly clueless. Such a shame for a nice landmark hotel. Of course we should have known before going in. The brewery next door was packed ans only two tables were occupied in the place. Very sad restaurant decor as well. read more

Hands down the best food in red river. We waited til the last night in town and came here. Very very small, so make reservations! They have specials every night. But I ordered off the main menu. Prime rib was delicious and cooked perfectly. Bread pudding was also delicious. Everyone at the table was super happy and we will be back for sure. read more

My girlfriend and I came here for lunch because everything else was closed. When we walked in I was very surprised to find nice table arrangements and decorations. We sat down and saw the menu prices and thought the food must be pretty dang good for what they were charging. We ordered our food and minutes later we hear screaming from the kitchen. The waitress and cook began to scream, argue, and curse at each other. My girlfriend and I didn't know whether to stay or walk out. We had already ordered and decided to stay. The waitress came back to our table and pretended nothing happened. Eventually we got our food. Some of it was good other parts not so much but for the price it was not what we expected. I thought it was a one time experience but from the reviews I've read on here it seems like this is a common occurrence. read more

Excellent food and service. The Reuben is great. The chicken fried steak is the biggest I have ever seen...and I'm from Texas...I've seen big ones.. But this is the biggest and best. read more

This is a great restaurant in a "ski town" where good fare for dinner is hard to find. Every item we had (baked Brie, French onion soup, trout, steak, potatoes, lobster...) was excellent. Very nice staff and very reasonable rice for dinner. And very family friendly with the best kids' menu, too. They even made up a meal for one of our picky eaters. Great place! read more

We enjoyed our dinner very much. The catfish was excellent; the Reuben sandwich was very good; and the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes was delicious. But the best part of the evening was our waiter. He was in charge of all the tables, and we never wanted for anything. He kept our drinks refilled and kept us entertained. We definitely recommend Brett's! read more

We were staying at the lefts west condominiums. We got into town and was starving so decided to eat at the Brett's Bistro. We were very disappointed can cokes for 2$ no refills, the burger was very dry. The fries were good. The restaurant was clean that was the only up side. My family and I had 2 sodas,2 beers,2 burgers and 2 chicken tenders plates for kids. We get the ticket and it was $112.53!!! It was not adding up so I add our total and it should have been 53.12! If you do decide to eat there check your tickets before paying. read more

My husband and I had to planned to go here on the last night of our ski trip in mid-January, and I was really looking forward to trying it! When we got to the restaurant at 6:45 (the hours posted said they closed at 9:00), the sign out front said open, the door was open, and there was a sign saying please wait to be seated. When the hostess came up however, she told us that the kitchen had closed at 6:30, and there was no way we could be served. No reason, no extenuating circumstances or explanations, just no. I would have loved to try the menu, but our brief experience wasn't a good one. read more

Too bad Brett is more concerned with $$$then with a customers dietary needs. I asked to order from the Kid's menu for dietary reasons and waitress (seemed afraid) as she stated Many other customers had asked to order off kids menu and he always says NO but I can ask , which I appreciated her at least asking. She came back and apologized and said Brett said NO, If my husband had not already ordered tea I would have walked out immediately. I know he is there to make a living but without customers he would need another job . Do not go there if you want more than a quarter cup of veggies, as I got 2 florets of broccoli (quarter size) and 4 thin slices of red bell pepper and a whole plate full of white rice pilaf(which I could not eat) and one small fried catfish, which I had to peel breading off of so I could try to salvage ounces of fish to eat. Needless to say I was hungry later which if eating out one should not be. Eat someplace else in Red River then possibly he will care more about customers than $$$. read more

My husband and I ate lunch here yesterday and it was delicious. He had the French onion soup and Alfredo pasta. The soup was rich and flavorful with crunchy bread and creamy cheese on top. The portions were very large. We will definitely be coming back. read more

We had the Brie appetizer, elk, and the filet mignon. The service was a little slow, but the food was great.

Not impressed. Wait staff was rude. $30 ribeye was overcooked. Do you think they cared? Nope! Pay full price anyway! They brought out literally one roll, the smallest salad I have ever seen, and 3 asparagus spears. What a rip off! read more

Terrible Service, after telling the hostess we just wanted their hot coco to go she just turned around and walked off (we assumed to go get our order) she didn't tell us she'd be right back and we could have a seat just left us standing there. So we sat at the very first table as they were not busy at all only 2 other customers. Then another lady came over without asking if we had been seated or if we had ordered, she told us WE COULDN'T SIT THERE! We had to leave the restaurant and they would bring us the hot coco outside. (Very Rude for a paying & Tipping customer) we took our hot coco paid and tipped and left but will never come back and hope you never go in the first place! read more

Made a reservation for two for 7pm on a Thurs eve. Arrived and waited at hostess stand for 10 minutes and was never acknowledged (we had a reservation) Finally before we were about to leave, a waitress from across the room waved us over to a table. As we walked over, a large table of 6 people applauded us...guessing because we were finally seated? 90% of the people sitting in restaurant did not have their food yet. We decided to keep an open mind due to Yelp reviews which talked about the great food. However, when we were seated, we waited another 10 minutes and no one acknowledged us whatsoever. We have now waited for 20 minutes. The table behind us had a waiter come up and apologize for the wait, and instead of approaching our table to say the same, he walked off. Wed had enough and decided to leave. I've never had this kind of experience before!! I travel based on Yelp reviews, but this one was a bust. Having good food doesn't prelude you from providing good service! read more

I never had the pleasure of eating there, due to basically being ignored. The waiter acknowledged me, said he'd seat me momentarily, & went about tending all of his tables. Next thing, a group of 8 shows up & gets immediate seating. I walked on... read more

I visited Red River for a conference with a group of other Law Enforcement for DARE. An employee went out of her way to come out and tell one of the officers that they do not serve cops in the restaurant. Not only that but when we walk by they say things like we know better than to even walk in there. What they didn't realize was I ate there the day before and the food was mediocre for the price and the service was not good. My family had reservations for the Lifts West where Brett's Bistro is located. Well those are now cancelled and we will spend our money elsewhere read more

We were passing through on a trip. My dad really wanted a steak and the local steakhouse wasn't open yet, so we ended up at Brett's. Dad ordered the ribeye from the lunch menu and insisted I get one as well. The steak was great. It was temped a little higher than the medium I ordered, but that's fine. The meat was great and super tender. Potatoes were good. Gravy was just average at best. Vegetable mix was okay. My dad still says that was one of the best steaks he's ever had and I agree. I had a burger one time, also, and it was good. Found a hair in the meat, though, which spoiled that experience a bit. Fries were excellent. I didn't give 5 stars because of the burger experience and the lackluster atmosphere. Decorations are cheesy and cheap. The bathroom reminds me of a gas station bathroom that you make a mental note to never stop at again. Waitstaff seems undertrained. The appearance makes you glad you can't see into the kitchen. It was also awkward that Chef Brett just stood at the counter the whole time and stared around the room. 5 stars for the ribeye meal. 3 stars for waitstaff. 2 stars for burger - thanks to hair. 0 stars for atmosphere. read more

Food is good but portions are getting smaller. Service is consistently poor. Only place in town that will not allow a senior to order from the kids menu. Pricy. read more

Two of us stopped by Brett's around 2:00 pm on a Sunday and found only three tables occupied. There were three servers. One server gave us menus and water and disappeared out the front door. Another server went off to the side and got on his iPhone. The third server got drink orders from a family that came in about 5 minutes after us, but ignored us. After 10 more minutes of being ignored, we left. We are locals and have eaten at Brett's before, and were looking forward to trout, which is very good but not worth the lack of service. read more

The food was ok, but nothing to rave about. The service was average. Bread was not good. The steak was OK and the trout was over seasoned. Garlic mashed potatoes were the best thing we had. Felt like the service was annoyed that we had children with us. read more

We chose the trout special, the chopped elk steak and the Fettuccine del Fiesta, and all 3 were phenomenal! The trout was fresh and delicious with blue crab and mushrooms. The elk was coarsely ground and perfectly cooked to medium rare with a light sauce. The fettuccine was the perfect blend of creamy and bright with the flavors of green chili and sweet red pepper. Delicious and well priced wines were available to accompany all entrée's too! You cannot go wrong at Brett's! read more

Note: this is the only Brett's in town. Same fab chef. Excellent trout, lamb, and (from a Midwestern connoisseur) the BEST chicken fried steak ever!! read more

Having heard wonderful reviews of Brett's Bistro, we were excited about our first meal at this restaurant that we've somehow missed over all the years we've been coming to Red River. Earlier today, knowing it was a busy weekend in town, we made a dinner reservation for 6:30 pm. Upon our arrival at 6:25 pm, however, we were assaulted by a harried waitress who accused us of showing up too late... Our reservation--and that of the other stunned couple standing with us on the landing near the front door, was at 6:00 pm, she said, and we were all no-shows. We, along with the other couple, insisted that we had made 6:30 reservations with the owner himself. She then left us, checked with the owner, and returned to announce that we, my husband and I, did indeed have a 6:30 reservation but the other couple--who again stated that they had made their reservation for 6:30, NOT 6--had been entered into the book for 6:00 pm and would therefore have to wait. (Mind you, this is a small restaurant and every single diner paying attention to the chaos at the front door was privy to these conversations.) Another waitress then showed me and my husband to the one available table...but the damage was already done. We decided not to spend our money at this restaurant based on the nasty greeting we received and got up from our table to leave. We saw the owner and politely informed him of the reason for our sudden departure, and he offered a "she was stressed" excuse, and then rudely exclaimed that he was not God...and "happy new year". What the hell does that mean? Unfortunately, every other restaurant in town is packed so we will not be eating dinner tonight. And we will certainly never return to Brett's Bistro. read more

Came to Red river from Denver and though Brett's look great from there menu choices. They sat our 6oclock reservation at 6:45 . Bad start but the food coming out looked great . Looks are very deceiving . I didn't think you could make a bad turkey thanksgiving dinner but it can out cold and tasteless . Dressing made stovetop look 5 star. After dumping salt and pepper on every item to make it taste like something still poor food . I would start in on the service but she never introduced herself and with good reason . Three separate times she left and didn't return with what she said she was going to get . Hoping it was just the holiday but would never return from such an all around poor experience read more
