Menus
At The Brick, our menu is seasonally inspired and locally sourced to deliver the highest quality product to our guests! All of our salad greens are grown hydroponically and harvested every other day, our beef 100% grass-fed from Ocala, FL and we only used sustainably caught seafood! Above all, we are most proud of our School Garden Project, located right around the corner from which key produce is harvested and utilized weekly!

About
Our Community
At The Brick, we believe in leading by example within our community! In 2018, we founded our first ever School Garden Program, located right down the road of Leewood K-8 Center! It is here, in our 'outdoor classroom' that memories are created, knowledge is exchanged and the learning feels natural. The kids in this special Garden Program get to have a fully hands on experience with our Organic Garden, learning how to properly plant, tend, harvest and everything in between needed to produce a successful garden full of crops!

Corey Bousquet
Owner
Corey Bousquet got his start in the restaurant and hospitality industry when he was 14 years old, working for a neighbor's family business. “During that time, I was inspired and motivated to have my own establishment one day with the same focus of offering fresh quality ingredients with a family-style atmosphere."
Today, Corey's passion and understanding of the industry has lead to his first ownership experience in The Brick, a farm-to-table style restaurant that prides itself in giving guests an at home around the dinner table, sharing food with family and friends experience.
"I want our guests to feel like The Brick is a place you can gather with family, friends and co-workers, maybe after a long day or week, and feel welcomed and be casual as if you were relaxing in the comforts of your home," explained Bousquet.
With the open kitchen allowing guests to see fresh ingredients become soulfully comfortable dishes from start to finish all the while maintaining a genuine farm to table approach through seasonal and fresh ingredients, Corey Bousquet has taken The Brick to one of the city’s most delectable and notable outposts for the slow food movement.
What continues to drive Corey is the satisfaction in seeing a smile on the customer's face and having a happy and strong team around him. "It is imperative to build a strong team of people around you, as they are the first point of contact with our guests. Treating my employees with compassion and trust, the same as I would with any of our guests, gives our team the platform to be successful and I would do anything in my power to help them succeed."

School Garden Program
One of our most rewarding community projects yet, our School Garden Program. Located right down the road at local Leewood K-8 Center, where the kids fully plant, tend, study and harvest the garden weekly to be used on our weekly farm specials! "For me, the most rewarding experience is when you see the students start to really become engulfed in the garden and make it their own. They see something that they planted as a seed, now some weeks later being harvested to be used on a restaurant's menu is what motivates us to create and them to learn more!'- Brick Owner, Corey Bousquet
