A weekend ago I was in Lagos and on Friday night I decided to have dinner here with my sisters. When we got there, we were told we couldn't go in because we needed to have made an appointment. Told the security guy it was our first time and we didn't know. We had come from far just to have dinner there. He graciously let us in. Boy was it full! There was almost no space which we expected being that we didn't have a reservation. Now what made me write this review wasn't even the reservation part but the table service. Being that we hadn't been there before somehow the waitress expected us to know what to do and was hurling commands at us. It was so unsettling but finally, we got a table. She gave us menus and said BEFORE we could order food we had to buy “a bottle”. I was confused. Kindly told her we don't drink alcohol but we would order non-alcoholic drinks with our meals. She went on to further clarify that we HAD to buy a full bottle of red wine, white wine, or Hennessey and the likes else we couldn't order food. Omo. I told her that none of us drink alcohol so if we bought it, it would be a total waste. She shrugged and said she can't serve us then. I even offered to buy food that would total the price of the wine/spirit. Mind you, these bottles start at the lowest price of N28,000 and above. Needless to say, it was so embarrassing. We just thanked her and left.
A few things to note B&C- If there is a service change, put up a notice at the entrance so people can decide from the door if they want to dine under such conditions and not spring it on them when they've settled in. So sad we weren't able to try the food although it's what I looked...

I had a date at Brass and Copper and one thing I loved was definitely the aesthetics. If you're a lover of good aesthetic and you're looking for where to take pictures for the gram, this wouldn't be a bad choice. BRASS AND COPPER located at No 1, Olubunmi Owa street Lekki Phase 1 Lagos. Although my food was partly burnt😔 It still tasted just okay. They had an array of food and drinks and it was quite hard for me settling down for what I wanted. The waitress had me choose the brass and copper special cocktail and it tasted great 👍 I'll definitely be returning back for it. My partner had the Green Hulk Cocktail and I guessed he liked it. Our food waiting was approximately 20 minutes which wasn't a bad one so I'll give them a thumbs up for that. I had the Monkey Gland Peri Peri Roast😂 (Chicken and Chips) which reminds me of the one I used to have as an undergraduate at the University of Lagos🌚 My partner had the Just Prawn which was well marinated (I know because I had a taste out of it) and we both enjoyed it.

Read moreIt was a terrible experience for me. I wouldn't even recommend this place to my enemy. When I first heard the name of the restaurant, I was really excited cause I had assumed it would look and feel amazing. It actually did "on Instagram" lol. I read their reviews on google and it wasn't bad (even though I had a feeling someone might have manipulated it. I got there on 6th Sep in the evening and a guy approached me and said they had valet parking (in my mind I was like not bad at all) until the guy parked my car 2 meter from where I was standing and demanded I pay N1,000. I was shocked and I said to him "You should have just asked that I pay for parking" I got upstairs and the place kinda looked very clean and decent until I started to notice some tacky things like The horribly painted air conditioners. Horrendous paintings on the wall. The door to a kitchen that looked worse than the door to my great grand mother's toilet in the village The waiters weren't professional at all and from time to time, they stood on the walkway and gossiped about customers.
My ear drums haven't recovered from the loud music that was playing in the restaurant section that should have been peaceful enough for anyone to have decent conversation. It was so loud, I could feel the bass from their poorly organised playlist rock my stomach.
The food wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. It was actually decent.
I could write a book about my terrible experience but I'll stop here.
DON'T GO HERE if you're trying to have a decent 360 degree experience....
