Hands down best in South Orange County!

Loved everything about it! The food was delish and the service was incredible! The server was so on top of refilling on our water and Diet Coke, he made our entire experience so enjoyable and relaxing! We will definitely be coming back.

We found Brick before the secret was out and when the food was amazing. Recently the past 3-4 experiences we've had there have just left us very disappointed and not planning to go back. Both in the food quality (quality feels rushed and literally has been missing ingredients) to the service. I did a pick up order and they gave my food to someone else so I had to wait around for them to redo it and it was undercooked because they rushed it. No discount, no sincere apology, just here's your food, our bad. Then we had a reservation which the host told us they gave away on accident and when he went to get the manager to see what could be done, the manager comes back and straight lies to our faces saying the our table was almost done, the waiter was just about to pack up their leftovers. We watched the table and over the next 20 minutes THEY WERE JUST BRINGING THE FOOD OUT! Just straight lied to our faces and we're looking right at the table. Really disappointing because this was my wife's favorite restaurant in San Clemente, we frequented it often, and referred many people to it. Not anymore. C'mon Brick.be better, and get a better manager.

Such a cool place with great food, service and vibe.

The menu has great selection for types. Shareable plates and sizes for that family style eatery's. The pizzas had 6 slices and made fresh.

The service was great, and the tables were perfect. Great views from the or back. Loved the open air concept. We had a great breeze.

Price wise, it's par for the area, but worth it.

Parking is tough, but should be expected in downtown SC.

Pizza and meatballs are so good! Everything tastes so fresh and with good quality ingredients. Will definitely come back

The food and service here are amazing! I went to Italy this year and the food was just as good if not better at Brick. The fact that it’s a locally owned business too- with locally sourced organic ingredients- is a plus. My favorite is the brick meatballs with the gluten free penne. I could seriously have them everyday

Great food, small room, nice ambiance, generally a nice spot for a bite and some cocktails.

Excellent little gourmet pizza and meatball spot. Grey food. Great service. Clean. Good ambiance.

Me and some family members are visiting from out of town and randomly decided to eat here, as it was near our Airbnb. Everything on the menu is made fresh AND comes in generous portions. My brother & I shared the meatballs which came w/slices of the best focaccia bread I’ve ever had in my life! Highly recommend this place.

Eww! Pizza tasted like vomit, ambiance was lacking, server was obviously having a bad day, andp it was expensive. Do not recommend!

Confirmed reservation for Friday evening for 6 people. Arrived at restaurant, with table set for 4. Unable to accommodate, disappointed with service.

As locals, we have supported this business since it opened. Originally it was one of our favorites. Through the pandemic, we ordered regularly and always recommended this place. We knew servers by name and they literally knew our orders the minute we sat down. Saturday 2/11/23 we planned a night out for Valentine's and booked reservations weeks ago with a request for our usual High Top Table - when we arrived it was busy as usual for a Saturday night. We were told the reservation (which I am pretty sure was ours) at the high top was unavailable we could wait for the next open table even though we had reservations for weeks. Then we get seated and we are told "no pizza" - wait it's a pizza place! Did they call or tell anyone who had reservations that they had no pizza? NO! It was so chaotic and unorganized and literally they did not care. We had made no other plans for dinner for our Saturday but the rudeness, the chaos, and the disregard for customer care - well sadly we walked away and probably will not return.: (Truly sad to write this negative review. We have supported this place for so long but it has turned a corner where the $$ is all that matters and the customers suffer for it.

Everyone working there was super friendly, the food was dynamite (especially the clams and chorizo pasta), and atmosphere was warm and fun!
