Still one of the best restaurants in Westchester. Chef Elmer and his team turn the simplest of ingredients into flavorful and beautiful seafood dishes. Always a wonderful experience, highly recommend
Such excellent service and good food We enjoyed the tasting menu and the service couldn't have been better We will definitely be back for the tasting menu
Excellent food, wine and service. One of the best meals we have ever had. All courses were different and interesting.
Always great. Chef Elmer is an artist with food and always a beautiful presentation. Went for the special Oyster event - oysters served theee ways - all delicious. Never disappoints
Nestled in a strip mall that evokes memories of tire repair shops, Brother's Fish &Chips has earned a reputation for its seafood offerings. Despite the uninspiring location and a no-show fee of $25 per person, we decided to give it a try on Saturday night. We started with four appetizers, which I must admit were quite delightful. However, when it came to the main dish—the crab cakes—we were left disappointed. Rather than a succulent blend of crab, they were mostly breadcrumbs, resembling a potato patty more than anything else. This lack of crab flavor was further compounded by the crab tostones, which appeared to be devoid of crabmeat altogether. The overall taste was lackluster. The bill for two came to $190 with tip, and we didn't even indulge in alcohol. For a restaurant in this neighborhood, the price felt steep, especially considering the lack of ambiance and the unremarkable service. To add insult to injury, I noticed an additional $50 charge on my credit card for the no-show fee, despite our presence at the restaurant. After a week of waiting for a resolution, I'm still without a refund and have decided to dispute the charge with Amex. Our experience at Brother's Fish & Chips was underwhelming. While the appetizers hinted at potential, the main courses failed to deliver. The combination of high prices, mediocre service, and unresolved billing issues makes me hesitant to recommend this place. It feels like a hit-or-miss establishment, but unfortunately, my visit was a miss. Save your time and money—there are better seafood options out there.
We've been meaning to try this place for years after trying the takeout. Wish we'd skipped it. The food was disappointing. Oysters were overdressed with shallots, tobiko and a spicy sauce. Soup with mussels and shrimp was uneven. Mussels were chewy and poorly cleaned. The broth was flavorful, but the shrimp were tasteless and over cooked. Stripped bass was lukewarm and filleted poorly. Risotto with Gruyère and lobster was not good. Concept was intriguing , but the execution was flawed. The risotto was congealed and stodgy and the lobster was overcooked. Really disappointing for a $40. Entree. Our plates were left half finished, yet we were never asked about our meal. The only bright spot was the she-crab soup. That was quite good. We'll Stick to the fish and chips take out from now on.
Usually do the tasting menu. This time went a la carte. Surprisingly, probably took longer than the multi-course extravaganza. And prices are quite high for not a lot of food, tasty as it might be.
Food was delicious. The lobster risotto was decadent and amazing. Fish and chips were lightly bettered and were perfect. Service was friendly. Wine prices were quite reasonable. Everything is made to order. Will certainly be back .
You'd never guess that such a delightful culinary experience resides in this tiny strip mall, sandwiched between a laundromat and nail salon. But besides dishing out the best fish & chips in the county from a takeout window, next store, in a spare but charming space (with real flowers on every table) the brothers up the ante by serving Michelin star-worthy fish with a Mexican flair. We tried the tasting menu, 8 courses of inventive, beautifully presented fish dishes, sourced internationally. It changes with availability, but we had cerviche, octopus, haddock lobster and 2 desserts- flan and tres leches. This place is a treasure. Make your rez early because it fills up on weekends.
An absolute neighborhood gem, if you're looking for seafood that's cooked creatively and beautifully, look no further! Why go into the City when you have Brother's here :)

My wife and I did the chefs tasting with the wine pairing. It was one of the best meals we've ever had! Each dish was exceptional. The wine pairings were perfect. Even the pour over coffee served with desert was the best cup of coffee I've ever had.
If you know you know!! On the advice of a Facebook group we ventured to a modest strip mall in Ossining to spend $$$ on a seafood tasting menu. And it was a wow. We had the Brothers tasting and it was extraordinary. From the first taste taste of cerviche to the last morsel of strawberry dessert we were tantalized by the tastes and preparation. Go go go.
Delighted that we finally gave this a try with some 'foodie' friends. This was a very pleasant surprise. The service was friendly and excellent. When we asked about two of the Portuguese wines on the wine list. The waitress brought us a sample of each to help us decide. Just that deserves an extra star for service We had two appetizers: the lobster tostones and a special bacalhau. They we both delicious. We tried three of the entrees on the menu. The risotto with lobster had nice chunks of lobster on an al dente risotto with gruyere, the crab cakes with a small salad and the fish and chips. All three of the entrees were done very well. We all agreed we will be again!
The magic that Chef Elmer brings to his restaurant is evident in his quality of ingredients, creativity in methods, and artistry in plating. Most delicious preparation of seafood that mixes taste, texture, and aroma, a true sensory experience. We had the restaurant week menu but have also tried the tasting menu. The experience at Brothers is much more than just eating a meal it is dining theater. You will not find a more caring, passionate chef! A must go to spot in Ossining.
Brothers is the place to eat, the space is absolutely beautiful intimate and inviting. The food is incredible, tuna was delicious and never had anything like that before. The crabcakes were truly amazing, drinks / the English was perfectly curated, and wine / Grenache delicious. What we really liked, is that we feel like it was personal and private dining. Every person who served us was amazing, chef is so talented and professional and easy to talk to for choices based on our personal taste. Amazing dining venue.
