Took a boat ride to Portsmouth looking for lunch and literally stumbled on the Sunday buffet - everything was delicious! Will definitely be going back with friends soon!
Awful just awful! Mother's Day brunch was so disappointing! Most of the chafing dishes were empty, the chicken was under cooked, the pork loin was over cooked! We had to ask for every refill we...
I made a reservation for 3 for the Mother's Day Brunch on May 10th. I am so sad that I took my mother there. The building was hot and stuffy, so crowded that we could barely get up and down from...
Only because there is not a zero star rating. Most miserable mother's day restaurant ever. Greed of trying to shove people in will cost you your business. Waited for more than a half hour for 1:00 RESERVATION. Way hot, way crowded, most of the buffet was dried out and missing food. Ran out of straws, napkins, fried chicken, pasta, moist BBQ. Should have kept reservations to a point where you...
I am very disappointed. I am actually sending this from the restaurant now. Have not been here in a while and the service was less than mediocre. Instead of just saying they were short-handed or something, the server said she could seat us but it would be 20 minutes on the food but didn't say why???? When I inquired as to the reasons, she acted like it was a weird question. I am not...
NO STARS! We informed the the staff two days prior that a wedding party of 11 would being coming to breakfast. We sat down at 9:45 am and waited for the waitstaff to come to the table and take our order. By 12 we had not received all of our order yet. But yet there were a number of other people who came and left before we got our order. The worst part is that the simplest order of bagel & lox...
We used to go to Brutti's quite often but the quality has definitely declined. I always had high praises for their Sunday brunch but today it was just so-so. The potatoes were so hard that they...
Amazing
Very nice ambience, comfortable, great service and very good food! :)
The food has always been excellent. Nice place to come when you want to have a wonderful, quiet meal. The Chef has always pleased my family with his variety of dishes.
The service is great also.
It brings back so many great memories from the past when I go to this restaurant. Years ago this was a very busy area...
This locals spot has a very nice Sunday brunch. It is a buffet style brunch that competes with the best of them. It's quiet and has an outdoor seating area.
Went there after the Santa Schuffle 5k for breakfast. Server took all the orders, but everyone was wrong and she brought out two children's meals 10 mins after all the adults. We even left before getting the other two meals! Really poor service and only excuses not solutions. Very disappointed. There are other options in Portsmouth!

The food and service were exceptional I would strongly recommend Brutti's to anyone looking for a great night out!

I'm not one to write reviews, but I was extremely disappointed with the food at Brutti's. I waited a long time for my food and when it did finally arrive my crab cakes were burnt. Our server was great, but I found it rude that the manager/owner of the restaurant never came to check on us even after the food was sent back. There are so many great restaurants in downtown Portsmouth and Brutti's...
Made reservations for 18 people at 7 p.m. on a Friday night. Showed up and they acted completely surprised. The place was empty though and they told us to sit anywhere. Took about 15 minutes to get our drinks. I had a mushroom burger and it was perfectly cooked and tasted great but the …
It is always a bad sign when you enter a restaurant at prime dining time on a Saturday night and there are more staff than diners. Still, I wanted to give them a chance, so we ordered. The food took 45 Minutes to arrive. The plates the food was served on were cold and the food on the plates was...
I used to go there frequently when it was under other management. I loved it THEN! A friend came to town and wanted to go there for Dinner. We went - it had no atmosphere and not friendly. Acted like they were doing us a favor by letting us eat there. Food was not bad but nothing special either. This...
About 7 years ago, this place used to be POPPING on Sunday morning. Recenly they have fallen off. Not sure if this lovely toll that we pay to get from...
The food is amazing ! French Toast that will melt in your mouth , Amazing Lunches ! Go for the Ruben or Stacey's Chicken Salad and Dinner Crab Cakes :) OMG to die for ! There is a lot of love and passion put into each dish . It's Family owned and a very tranquil vibe ! Might me the wine :) If you have never been to Bruits well your missing out ;)
We had to check out of our hotel and there were not many options close by on a Sunday. We ordered off the menu but should of splurged for the incredible brunch buffet. The staff was very friendly and the place is really cool to observe.
We went there because a friend of ours recommended it. We heard that their service was inconsistent but we still wanted to try it. We were the first ones @ 6:00 pm it is a big restaurant all lights were on so it did not feel intimate at all. The bartender was VERY nice; however we were surprised that he...
Highly disappointed by the quality of food, price of the brunch buffet, and poor service. The eggs, bacon, and French toast on the buffet were cold. The French toast was not even the same type of bread that they use to use. The nicest person there was the lady running the omelet station but everyone else acted like they didn't...
I've been a fan of this place for quite sometime. I love the omelet station and the salad/desert station. They have a nice selection of breakfast and lunch....

Moved to Portsmouth's historic district and frequent many restaurants downtown. I've given Bruttis three chances. They failed each time. Watched manager wipe something up from the floor than walk over and use the same dirty rag to wipe off two tables. Charles, the owner misses the obvious improvements needed in cleanliness, customer service and food quality. Beautiful building with potential...
The restaurant is contained in a very old building in downtown, old Portsmouth just around the corner from the main street. The decor is eclectic and dated but the Sunday brunch overwhelmed us. The choices were many: various slices of different types of meat, omlets cooked to order, lots of hot and cold sides and many slads and desserts. We...
Never have I been treated like this by an establishment I was tring to do business with in my life! I called brutti's six weeks ago to inquire about hosting a baby shower there. The person I spoke with was Justin. Justin was very accommodating and made suggestions and said they would be delighted to host the shower. The next week my husband and I went to Bruttis to talk about the menus for the...

We had some trouble when we first sat down getting someone to wait on us not sure why. We had to ask the hostess twice. But all worked out and our waitress was great, very attentive.
WOW the Buffett on Sunday is amazing. Everything I ate was very good. They have so many options-traditional things like eggs, bacon, sausage,biscuits, grits...
Took my family here for dinner. Should have known better when we walked in on a Saturday night & there were only 2 other customers. Without going into great detail, I can summarize our experiance by saying it was the worst food & service we've ever had. We will NEVER go back!
The food is okay. The restaurant is very crowded as in small with too many table. Some of the staff are down right crabby and they hire some clueless beings too. The brunch has an excellent variety of food but is very crowded as far as people and space.

The brunch buffet is a rip off $27 is outrageous
Amazing food with wonderful friendly and professional staff. Outstanding Sunday brunch with the largest variety of foods I have ever seen on a Buffet. Well worth it!!!!!!!

This is a terrific eatery in Old Town Portsmouth. Enjoyable atmosphere, delicious food and great service makes for a fun evening. And the catch is it's surprisingly affordable!
After being told of a comedy show happening at Brutti's we dropped by to enjoy the show. The comedy was mediocre at best. A few of the comedians literally were reading jokes from a card. The leading comedian was extremely offensive and out of line with a few guests. We will not be going back.

Me & my little one wanted to try somewhere new & I came upon this on TripAdvisor great recommendation. The brunch buffet was a spread glad I brought my appetite. A la carte stations as well & delivered to your table. Overall service was good. You definitely get your monies worth. Definitely recommend trying just once.
Great restaurant !!!! One of a kind !!
3 star
This place was highly recommended by friends and the Bloody Mary Bar sounded appealing. However, the Bloody Mary Bar didn't have all the ingredients of the recipes provided. The brunch buffet was abundant, average, and not worth the price tag.
My wife and I stopped by on a Saturday night for a late dinner around 8pm. There were only a few other other people in the restaurant. The beer tap was broken which was a bummer as I wanted to sample a few of the beers.I got the blackened Rockfish and my wife got the Crab Cakes. Both meals were...
My husbnad and I decided to go to lunch together after he had been gone for almost three weeks. Since we had been for dinner several times, we thought lunch would be just as good. Boy were we wrong. I ordered the cold plate which should have come with tuna salad, chicken salad, and egg salad, however it came out...
Great food great service great atmosphere i really enjoy this place
The two times we have eaten here were above average and well worth the experience. The first was a few years ago for our wedding anniversary and the food was outta sight. We pretty much had the place to ourselves due to inclement weather in the area. The last time there was a couple of years ago with some friends...

This is a very nice place. The food is great and the wine selection is excellent. It is a very romantic atmosphere. If you haven't been please give it at least one try. The prices range from about 15 to 25 overage.

We attended a holiday party with a group from work and had a lovely time. They placed us in the balcony area to give some privacy. I really liked the exposed brick and the fact that it was a locally owned business. The wine list was good and the pours were great, they also had a good beer selection. The...
Very friendly staff, nice ambiance and great pizza!! The goat cheese pizza was amazing and we've had pizza in Italy and all over Europe in telling you this is GOOD! Our waitress was very helpful even though we were undecided as we had just come in for coffee and ended up having a full lunch. We will definitely come again.

Be sure to bring you appetite ( and your wallet). Fabulous offerings- too many to choose from-delightful desserts. Careful though- some offerings are not included in the price-they are a la carte!!!

The Bagel Nutz are my favorite item. However instead of having several varieties out front, the selection is not as good as in the past. After the last time of making a trip down to pick up two dozen for out of town guests, the quantity and variety were not available. When I left I though that I would try...

Popular brunch, divided between breakfast and lunch dishes. Not everything was great, but most dishes were good and fresh, with many being replenished while we were in line. It is not cheap, but the quality of food was ample compensation for the cost.

I got the BBQ salmon with green beans and mashed potatoes. Delicious. Def would go back for more food.
Amazing Sunday Brunch!

We took a friend who was visiting us to Brutti's Sunday brunch. We had been a few times and always liked it. But it was even better this time. The collard greens melt in your mouth. The carving station's roast beef was very moist and tender - better than I had remembered it. The salads and smoked salmon are a...
With another couple we made a Sunday brunch reservation at Brutti's. Arriving on time, the place was pretty much full and the only open table had not been bussed. The young hostess said she would "clean it up" and came back in a couple of minutes with a wet towel and wiped down the table, left it absolutely soaking wet,...
My husband and dined last night for the all you eat pasta bowl. We ordered wine and the endless pasta bowl and salad. Wine came out, pasta came out, salad came out after the pasta. I saw a shadow by my feet. I blew it off as nothing. I took the first bite of my food and saw the shadow...
Good service. Great food. We went for breakfast, and wish we didn't already have plans for lunch and dinner, because we wanted to try those, too!
Our experience was clearly disappointing and we should have left the restaurant as soon as we arrived. There is an adult club right next door with two bouncers standing directly beside the door to the restaurant which was clue number one. We made a 7 pm reservation since it was a Saturday and it was my daughter's birthday so we...
Went for Sunday Brunch. Wanted something like Eggs Benedict. My choices were scrambled eggs in 4 varieties and omelettes fom the menu or a very expensive buffet. Buffett was breakfast items with scrambled eggs & omelettes or lunch/dinner items like fried chicken, fried fish, vegetable mix along with a roast beef carving station. We all four of us decided to...
The restaurant was very crowded. There was constant pushing, elbows, hips and movement trying to eat and people getting to the breakfast bar. This was very annoying. The food was not very good. The variety was typical for a regular Brunch. Nothing special. Nothing tasted very good or outstanding. I thought the food was rather bland. The staff was having...
My sister and I went for a late lunch. I eat mostly veggies and go light on carbohydrates. This was probably not a good restaurant choice for me. I opted for a spinach salad and asked that grilled chicken be added along with vinegar and oil dressing. There were only 2 other tables besides ours so there was no reason...
This was ridiculously expensive for what was basically a low class Sunday Brunch. Drinks were SUPER expensive & had very little in the way of alcohol in the 3 Mimosas & 1 Bloody Mary (think Tomato Juice with nothing else in it). The food was not in any way special. I am SO UPSET that I scheduled brunch for 5...
Awesome environment for a Daddy Daughter date or with the whole family. Chicken pesto pizza was awesome. Reuben with the homemade fries, 5 of 5. No matter what you order for main dish, you absolutely have to try the crab cake! Almost the whole thing is crab, not much bread crumbs or other filler. Great restaurant for any occasion.
My boyfriend and I went early morning on a Saturday. The food was great and the service was fast. I think the price/portion is very fair. Our waiter was very prompt with refilling our drinks. They played the same song the entire time we were there- so if you can overcome that, go get breakfast there!
Food was excellent but the sevice SLOW! My wife went again at a later date and said the service was much better.
Bruttis is one of my favorite places to eat in Olde Towne Portsmouth. They have good salads and sandwiches. The bagel nutz have always been my favorite, but they aren't cheap.
The food was really good however the sandwich my friend ordered was not prepared according to the menu and when the waitress finally came to the table and was asked about it she went to the a person who I assume is the ?head chef....we could hear him stating in a loud voice that this is the way it is...
We love Brutti's and consistently have great experiences dining there. The decor and atmosphere are stellar, service is good and reliable, and the food is delicious! This is definitely the best place to dine in downtown P-Town.
this your first stop for Sunday brunch. It's pricey but it's good. Make sure to try the french toast and eat your money's worth.
My Husband and I were in Portsmouth waiting to go to a concert. As Brutti's was very close we chose to dine there. There were a lot of people inside and out so we thought this was a popular place. BIG MISTAKE! We entered and waited to be seated...and waited.... there were more people behind us. Finally a server came...
For $23.00 a person, you can enjoy a wide array of breakfast/brunch foods. I enjoyed macaroni and cheese, scrambled eggs, quiche, fruit salad, baked brie covered in chocolate sauce, bacon, grits, potatoes, chocolate cake, and delicious french toast. There was a lot more to choose from, but I only had room for so much!
This place would be nice for...
Our lunch with old friends was not to be disturbed with complaints to our pleasant server, so we soldiered on. My wife later confided to me that her crab cake sandwich tasted strange - wrong seasonings? She thought so. My Rueben sandwich was dull, not much flavor - lots of meat - I stopped eating halfway through, put the rest...
Been coming here off and on for years. Always a delight and service is always good.
If you need to provide food for an office function - GO ELSEWHERE, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH BRUTTI'S! This place cost me almost an hour of my busy morning and they were very RUDE on top of that.
I placed a pick up catering order with the owner Charles via email to carry into the office the next morning...
I hope it improves but the last time we went to Brutti's, the service was pathetic and the food was so-so. It used to be one of our favs, but not sure we'll return
Went for Sunday brunch. Lots of choices, average quality, very noise, no ambiance.
Had lunch with coworkers and this is an adorable place to eat. The food was good and portion size was adequate. Cost was reasonable. Service was friendly. (They do have a kid's menu.) There are a variety of burgers, pizza, salads and sandwiches. I will definitely re-visit! (Cost example: I had a cheeseburger with fries and soda $12.49 plus tip.)...
Best Brunch in Town. My husband and I chose to dine at Brutti's for our 5th wedding anniversary. What a great experience! I was wowed by the expansive choice of buffet items-I will need to return in order to try several things that I just couldn't fit into my stomach after 2 full plates. The salmon was delectable, the scalloped potatoes and mac n cheese were sinfully delicious, and my favorite...
Don't go changin' . . . .. Unfortunately looks as though Brutti's has changed a little too much and possibly a little too fast in an effort to align with their new entertainment venue, the Mansion. When my husband and I dropped by Friday night for a hamburger (always a Brutti's signature item), it was missing from the menu. Replaced by an upscale and more trendy menu, it looks like Brutti's has...
Worst place I have ever ever been. Food was horrible. Waitstaff was entertaining to say the least. We sat at a table near the kitchen. Kitchen is wide open so we could hear every word that was said by the staff. We did'nt need to know which server was sleeping with the owners son or how drunk and high they all got the previous evening. Very classy to say the least.
My husband I planned to enjoy a romantic evening for our anniversary. Our experience was HORRIBLE!!!!!! The food was horrible. The management handling of the situation was worse.
Brutti's is world class!. This fantastic restaurants remind me of the great French bistros that I visited as a kid all over France. The seemingly traditional menu is wonderfully crafted with a touch of nostalgia combined with fine craftsmanship and delicious ingredients. My favorite starters include the soup a l'onion gratinee, the steak tartar and the frisee salad. Though seemingly old style...
I made reservations for my mom, my husband and myself for the mother's day brunch. The crowd waiting outside and the crowd inside was maddening. We were seated soon after arriving at a table for 6. I couldn't understand this since there…
Very nice place, friendly service, nice food. Had breakfast and I imagine the brunch is excellent. I don't see why only 69% like it, I thought it was great.
If you like bagels, you've got to try the little bagel bites filled with cream cheese. Wow, you can't stop eating them. The catering and din...
We made reservations 2 weeks in advance. Upon arrival, we were still ordered to stay in line outside in the cold and waited for 15 minutes with a new born baby in tow. Once seated, our not so friendly server greeted us. We were a party of nine, so if i were her and cant remember a simple order of coffee, i would've written down our orders. Finally after her third try of getting our drink orders...
I've been to Brutti's off and on over the years. The food's been inconsistent. I went back recently and was blown away by a scallop special!! The steak were done perfectly, and sauces superb. Aparently, they have a new Chef. He's awesome!! I'll go back again and again as long as Chef Michael Ivens is cooking:o)
Every time I've been to Brutti's I've been pleased. They have enormous portions for a reasonable price! My husband loved the pepper rubbed ...
