las brisas

it's a splurge. this is not a place that we eat at frequently, but we last ate here for my hubby's birthday. i order the raspberry filet, and he ordered the beef wellington (definitely a splurge and would be interested in trying some other options that might be more cost efficient, and change my perception). what absolutely sold me on the experience was the bananas foster as it is what made the celebration one to remember, and is not something you can get at just any other restaurant. theservicewas great, and the vibe is one of the most sophisticated in lubbock. it is a little more formal for our everyday lifestyle, but it lends the opportunity for a future business meeting or other special events.

the prices are inflated for the quality of the food, but overall i do like this place for their patio in the summer. there is an extensive wine list and we come after work for cocktails and friends and there is full menuserviceoutside if you want dinner - there's also usually live music on weekends. atmosphere is nice.

let me first say. the food was decent as usual.servicegreat. but last night at the bar area. the owners decided to ruin the night by showing the state of the union with loud volume. this was not only disrespectful to the customers in your establishment but the remarks were even more disgusting. the side eyes, clapping and laughing at the minorities who were being shown during the speech was sick!! it’s unfortunate because we do business events here but i cannot allow that to happen anymore.

i would rather not go into deep detail about what was being said out of respect to people who enjoy this place. all i know is myself, business partners and family will no longer be spending money here.

the owners should have thought this thru before they made more than just me uncomfortable in the restaurant last night. i’m telling you the laughing and clear mocking at me and and my buddy was stupid. even the child stared at me. but this is not a surprise.

i hope they learn from this experience.

shoutout to craig the bartender. he was a 5 star.

this was my third trip to las brisas. i have friends that rave about it but i have found the food andserviceto be above average for lubbock, but not reflective of the prices or on par with recognized chop houses.

i have had the kurobuta pork chop in the past and while a large portion and cooked well, i have had equally good pork for far less.

this trip was my first to try one of their steaks. i had the 8oz raspberry filet. while it was cooked to order and seasoned well it was rather tough and stringy. not a $40 cut of meat by any means. my worst filet at a ruths chris beat this hands down.

service was ok. not overly attentive. the wait staff have at least received training and didn't act like they were hired earlier that day like one finds in most lubbock establishments.

my overall impression is it is pretentious and priced well beyond its performance. for lubbock, it seems to fill a niche as a place the trendies can go to brag that they spent over $100 for an above average, but not stellar meal. i will probably give it a pass in the future.

its few redeeming features are the well stocked bar and the smoking patio where you can enjoy an after dinner cigar and drink. a rapidly disappearing feature in lubbock.

while steaks, atmosphere, andserviceare good, its way overpriced and over seasoned. i can do just as good on my backyard grill. good wine selection. states smoke free facility yet our time and meal were totally ruined by four inconsiderate smokers at table next to us. smoke free should mean smoke free, not just for inside patrons.

we have been here many times and theserviceis usually average to slightly above average, but tonight it was below average. arrived for reservation after calling and requesting a table by the windows- we were sat at the very back as far from the windows as you can get. that was fine- it was a busy night, so i understand. the issue was that no server appeared to have responsibility for our table, so we sat and waited, and waited with two hungry children. no drink order, no contact, nothing... finally, i asked a server to locate the server for our table. eventually, someone arrived. maybe just an off night.

way overpriced.. went out for a friday night date, had never been here before. staff was courteous,servicewas great. the food was good, but nowhere near as good as the price would have you believe. i have had better steaks for less than half the price. the only thing i believe that was priced appropriately in my opinion was the $9 banana foster dessert. will not be back due to excessively high prices for moderate quality food.

mikey liked it. ate at las brisas on tech parent's weekend 2013, with wife and son. all were pleased with the food andservicequality. i'm no yokel, having traveled throughout europe, uk, and far east. my experience was totally inconsistent with these review rip-jobs. suspect something else is going on here...

it was beyond horrible. the food was overlooked and theservicewas god awful i'm never going back. it's a waste.

i enjoyed the red wagyu ribeye. theservicewas pleasant and the portions were generous. compared to chicago chophouses this place is moderately priced but the smoker friendly patio added an extra layer of comfort. if you think 20 dollars is an expensive steak go to golden corral.

the steaks, atmosphere, andserviceis great. try the stuffed jalapeños as an appetizer, some of the best i have ever had.

lipstick on a pig.... when lb first opened, they were primarily just a mexican food restaurant. i was ok with that for a bit, they weren't trying to pretend to be something else. then i got food poisoning from their chili relleno's, bleh thank lb, now i can't eat them again! then they made the big switch to being a "high class" steak house, too bad they forgot the high class part, and the good steaks part....all they changed was their prices. it's one thing to add a little spice or a little upscale to your menu, but stop trying to be something your not. this place is a joke, and i have no desire to drive 10 miles out of my way for an over priced, poorservicesteak house. if you want good mexican food you can go somewhere else, if you want a good steak you can go somewhere else, if you want goodserviceyou can go somewhere else... easily 2/10

buttery but scrumptious steaks. good sides, competentservicestaff, but the lobster was overlooked and awful.

new owners result in bad food. every since this restaurant (which used to be one of my faves) was taken over by the guys that own buffalo wild wings it has just gone down hill fast. my wife and i come here for special occassions and have always enjoyed ourselves. my favorite is the bone in ribeye. it's usually huge, juicy and seasoned well. the last time we visited it was none of the above...except still huge. after waiting over 30 minutes (with not muchservice- empty glasses and couldn't get a second glass of wine to save our lives - our food came. i ordered my ribeye mr and peppered. it came out almost well done and not peppered and very dry. had to send it back. also, the asparagus were hard, not really sauteed. it was like they forgot to make them and sent them out almost raw. my wife had the pork chop, again, dry and underseasoned. she ate it anyway. at this time we still have not received our second glasses of wine. after my ribeye came back (almost cooked correctly) we ate and left. never getting our wine and not ordering dessert (which we always order bananas foster). so dissapointed. i guess this is what happens when some guys that run a chain wing joint try to go into the business of fine dining.

mediocre. great food, when compared to an applebee's. las brisas wants to be a premium steak house, but is falling short.servicestaff is not trained to be premium servers, hostess is more or less ambivalent. why does everything have to come with asparagus and if you want something else, it costs more?
