Brass Marbella — Restaurant in Marbella

When we arrived we were greeted and seated by a lovely host. The decor was impeccable, comfortable and clean. We had a difficult choice as to what to pick as the menu read so well, after looking over the menu a table of two were seated beside us, who obviously knew the owner.

We placed our order for food, and the gentleman who took our order had obviously made assumptions that we didn’t know what we were ordering as he explained what it we had just chosen. I let that go.

The table beside us had the order taken after us and then there food and drink came out before our starters, lots of staff to patrons but unfortunately they were ill prepared as no one had a section/station. We were served our starter's of which I ordered scallops and received what I know to be Queenies small scallop 3 of them the size of a euro coin for €20 , only one golden brown as described in the menu. Again let it go, prawn cocktails were good but prawns were not deveined, again minor issues. Once the mad waitress cleared out starters she asked did we want desert or coffee, we explained we ordered mains, she proceeded to give plates and butter knives, mains arrived and no steak knives, steak was cooked very well both to our liking but absolutely no seasoning on any of the dishes, my daughters €36 euro sea bass was badly over cooked and when this was pointed out, we were offered limoncello or a shared desert. Approx 6 tables in at this point and instead of ordering a bottle of wine and having a nice desert and coffee and relaxing to the live music I voted with my feet and left. I came from this industry and won’t be back, also will advise the large circle of ex pats who were awaiting feed back from our night. Shame as a good restaurant manager would have this place the place to be. That said we are now looking very much forward to going to Stephen Saunders (the new geranium) La Cala where we know the attention to detail will be correct.

I hope they fix these underlying issues or letting clients leave dissatisfied will be their downfall. We paid €220 for 3 x starter and 3x mains and 4 cocktails. Again happy to pay it when it’s good. Unfortunately very...

Brass, which only opened before the summer, was on my list to try after it was recommended to my wife and I. Keeping in mind that a place being new and first 6 months of a restaurant is a big test, l was told that Brass dinner has the classic best signatures on restaurant dining history, but with an elegant space, genuine service and upbeat live vibe.

The smiling greeting, the warm, mature feel of the cosy elegant understated luxury set-up, with a speakeasy jazz duo reeling you into to sit and unwind, made us feel we were off the right start. It felt right.

Cocktail menu is a must kick-off as it takes classics and give them their own small but impressive tweak, not hurting tradition, because the menu they give shows you a creative visual of what to expect on the menu. I had a Modern Fashioned, and being critical of the Ol' one, and I can only say that this one was even smoother and had lasting surprise.

Wine menu, do leave it to the service team to recommend as the list is built by the owner based on menu creations, but if you are decisive on your best reds, you can have a look-see at their wall-cellar.

The appetizers and starters are really respecting the local haven of ingredients and cuisine, but blended well with northern european key classic dining. For a brasserie that's both clever and creatively daring I must say. Definitely have the lobster bisque (no cream thank god), the crispy jamon, artichoke and parmesan and for sure order the solomillo rossini.

Desserts? Dame Blanche was a WOW! and Apple Crumble just super fun to share. One would think that a new 'fancy-looking' place like Brass would ramp up on prices, but they don't, and hence ranks in top but affordable dining spots.

Portions are to more than fair, and to savor the various tastes in each dish, and not to 'stuff yourself on quantity and carbs'.

Brass brings brasserie back in the way of tasting the encyclopedia of all the creations of historic best culinary creations of the 20th century, but whilst you unwind in...

“Brass: A Dining Experience Crafted with Heart”

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere drew us in. The décor is warm and inviting, creating a space that radiates good energy. The live music was a great touch—lively enough to set the mood but at the perfect volume to still enjoy a conversation.

The service was outstanding: attentive without being intrusive, always with a smile, making us feel truly welcome. You can tell that they put a lot of thought, creativity, and love into their client experience. Every detail, from the warm welcome to the beautifully presented dishes, felt carefully considered.

The menu offers a great variety, with something for everyone. We started with the tuna tartare and shrimp brioche, and we loved them so much that we ordered them again. For the main course, we had the Rossini beef tenderloin, sea bass, and salmon—all perfectly cooked, flavorful, and beautifully presented. For dessert, we went with the off-menu amaretto sabayon, prepared fresh on the spot, and it was simply delightful.

To kick off the night, we asked for a surprise cocktail, and it did not disappoint. The quality-price ratio was excellent, considering the experience, the food, and all the thoughtful details. Brass is the perfect place for a special dinner, whether with a partner or family.

Thank you, René, and your amazing team, for making our evening so special. We’ll...
