Really good food and really good service, a bit pricey, but worth it overall , was one annoying drain fly from the bar drain that kept landing on our food, but yea, good food but $250 for a couple of steaks 🤷♂️, I will leave that up to you to decide if that's worth it , asked for medium got medium rare, like pink rare, but was melt in your mouth good quality steak

The food here is absolutely magnificent. Everything tastes like it’s made from scratch, like they pulled out their great-great-grandparents’ recipes and blessed us all with the results. Every dish is fresh, consistent, and full of flavor every single time I go. (I’ve Only been once and plan on returning).
The service? Five stars, no question. I honestly can’t remember the last time I felt like the customer was this much of a priority. Management even went above and beyond — we forgot our leftovers (and it was a lot), walked a block away, and they actually chased us down to return them. That kind of care is rare.
Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but worth every penny. My belly tells me I made the right choice every time I come here. Thank you to the entire team — truly an amazing establishment.

The food was absolutely fantastic for myself and the other 4 guests in our party. The service from Vlad was top notch. He was a prime example of a top tier server at a restaurant and I recommend anyone coming here to request Vlad. My only problems I had were the French 75 was too heavy on the lemon juice and outdoor location could be better. The food and service though were top tier Italian cuisine.

Visited Brando’s for my friends birthday and WOW! We loved everything about this place.
We started with cocktails; my favorite was the dirty martini because of the blue cheese olives. YUM! They give you complimentary bread which comes with 3 spreads/dips. Definitely save some if you want to dip it into your pasta (pro tip lol)! Our server was knowledgeable about everything on the menu and didn’t even need to write our orders down so we were amazed when everything came out perfectly.
The pacheri vodka pasta was so fresh and full of flavor. Since I don’t eat meat, they were able to hold on the pancetta. They even sprinkle some fresh parm on top it was amazing. My friends also loved the pacheri bolognese. The calamari was one of the best I’ve had! Crispy and light with lemon juice over it… I’m salivating thinking about it. The caesar salad was pretty good too. For dessert, we tried their zeppoles which came with four powdered sugar and four cinnamon sugar which was perfect to share. My friends also loved their lil shot of espresso. They give you a little sugar stick to stir with too.
This spot is perfect if you’re craving authentic Italian food and you want a more upscale night! Date night, birthdays, family dinner. Loved the NOLA flare at this spot too. Would definitely return!
No matter how many times we visit, we always find something new to sample and fall in love with! Father’s Day treat for my hubby this visit. Delish!!!

From the moment you walk in, the clean and modern décor sets the tone for a fantastic dining experience. With both indoor and outdoor seating, the atmosphere is casual perfect for a quick bite or a leisurely meal with family and friends. Our waitress Natalie was incredibly nice and friendly she knew the whole menu by heart and helped guide us to a perfect dinner with delicious appetizers, and desserts. We started what's amazing appetizers, and with the Seafood Fra Diavolo with shrimp, mussels, clams, and lobster in a spicy sauce, absolutely delicious! The bread was a highlight on its own, with an incredible crunch, a good chew, and airy pockets that soaked up the sauce perfectly. dessert and ended the meal We both ordered the Pistachio Ice Cream Cake! the perfect ending to a perfect meal. This was only my first time here, but I loved the food! A wonderful surprise and absolutely a 10/10 dish. My compliments to the chef!! Service was excellent, and the location is great. A big shoutout!! to our waitress Natalie, and also to the General Manager Susan, who personally came to our table to greet us and make sure everything was perfect. A truly memorable dining experience.

Excellent dining experience even though we where outside and a passing shower came through. We split the polenta and mushrooms app as well as the mussels app between 4 of us and they were both amazing. The pork chop was also cooked perfectly. Can't wait to return later this year.
