Thanks for sharing a (current) review of La Brigada... a place which was once on my A list for Dead Cow. After a few unpleasant visits I de-listed it as a favorite... perhaps I should consider returning.

If you don't mind adding a little "beef" to your review.... it would be very useful if you could tell us a few things about your visit:
a) how many people in your party?
b) were all of you visitors from out of town..?
c) what caliber wine did you order...? (regular list of "reserve" list)
d) did you catch the attention of "Hugo"....?

I don't mean to be invasive with my questions, its just that I have a theory on La Brigada that I like to test everytime I read reviews of this establishment.... not sure how scientific my theory is, but in any case, if you care to elaborate some more on your visit this would be of great help for me and other locals/regular contributors to this Forum.

Cheers,

PS: please let me know when you are back in town
