Service was good. Food was unremarkable. Crab nacho app was good. Fish and chips were sub par, not much flavor at all. The fries were good, but nothing exceptional or special. Presentation was average on main course. Cookie dessert variety was nice and presentation was great. The server we had was super friendly and a delight. This meal certainly doesn't make we want to rush back for another visit.

Some of our food was very good, particularly the schnitzel and pot roast. I did not like the paprika-based sauce that came with the schnitzel. Was not a fan of the kind of paprika they used. The servers were very attentive and professional. However, I was a bit surprised that they were dressed a little sloppily. Ordinarily I would not notice this kind of thing but since these are prospective chefs and restaurateurs I expected a little more attention to appearance. That said, our meal was good overall and I would definitely go back.

Wonderful food and service. My favorite CIA restaurant! Relaxed atmosphere with an outstanding, Well executed menu. We ordered far more than we could finish but so glad we were able to taste a lot of the menu. Wish I lived closer to eat there more often.

The food was excellent and so was the service. Interesting to talk to the students and learn about their studies and all the opportunities that are available in their programs . The presentation was great. We had 3 different meals and all were equally as good

Such a pleasure chatting with the students and learning about the delicious food from their perspective is a great way to start a meal! As the Post Road Brew House has limited openings, over the years we've had a hard time getting a seat! We weren't disappointed with having to wait. While the choices don't always suit one's palate, there was enough to choose from that we indulged in. Being a brew house, it was great to be able to sample and the flight ordered can be tailored to your preferences. The mixed drinks are well thought out and match the menu as well. The fish and chips were very tasty—we could have had a gallon of the aioli. My companion had the trout dip and deemed it a hit. Dessert was delicious for me as I had the cookies and milks. What a fun concept and to have eight different flavors of rather generous in size cookies was more like a sharing platter. The other dessert—the chocolate tart chosen—was on the ehhhh scale mostly because she felt it was too heavily doused with chocolate powder but she could have had more (and just) ice cream. That was a chocolate stout made with one of the beers. Sometimes the easiest and most simple should be on the menu!! No need to posh up ice cream ? Glad to have world class dining within ten minutes of home and see the future of America creating delicious mouth watering dishes!

I loved getting the flights of beer that the CIA had created. My burger was amazing!!! Remember, the waiters are learning the front of the house, so bring extra grace. I love it when they present the food because you can see their true passion!

Excellent experience. Wonderful, attentive service. Very good pub food: we had outstanding burgers, smoked trout dip, humus dip, crudités, a cookie and milk desert our youngsters loved, and nice if limited wine and drinks choices. Beer is the favorite here (it is a brew house). The CIA is a fun venue, with a lovely campus swarming with young students in cooks' attire.

Food was delicious! Beers were interesting and excellent, all made at the school or locally. Service was a bit slow especially for a lunch, but it is a school and expected. They were very kind, courteous and accommodating. It's a little more “upscale” both in menu and atmosphere, than I expected for a Brew House. Overall we really enjoyed it and would recommend.

It's not really a brew house which makes one think more of a rustic pub. It's a lovely restaurant which serves a number of wonderful beers but the general menu and vibe is more creative CIA. Important to remember that students serving and learning. Flavor profiles never fail to be creative and delicious. We've never had a bad meal! We've visited many times. The large pieces of brown paper (over the linen) is still clumsy and odd. I'd look into paper rounds (or something else) for the tables which would match the vibe you're going for but be more structured. Carpets are showing wear and baseboards and restroom are lacking a deep clean.

This is a great place for lunch, a bit more relaxed and casual than the other CIA restaurants. Our food was delicious, well prepared and presented; our servers, hostess, all the staff were attentive, pleasant, helpful; and the vibe was casually elegant. Prices were a bit steep even with the off season discount, but even so we plan to return.

The staff at the restaurant were amazing! They were very friendly and attentive, and the whole place was sparkling clean. The only thing I could say was that it was a bit chilly and drafty when we visited in February. It wouldn't hurt to close the doors between the reception and dining areas. Overall, we had a great lunch and we're definitely looking forward to coming back for more delicious food.
