The Bremner restaurant opened its doors on July 4, 2011. Co-owner Chuck Hughes is a household name, having appeared on several TV shows, published a few books, and participated in many of the most popular events and collaborations. We love the intimate yet festive atmosphere at Bremner. We also appreciate the quality of each plate and the friendliness of the service.
