We enjoyed Brandl’s Restaurant week menu, which had a variety of choices not usually found on their regular menu. For starters, we had the tuna poke and crab cake. The poke was new and fabulous. The pickled vegetables and a hint of heat from the sriracha was delicious. I hope Brandl’s brings this back. For entrees, my husband and I both had the flounder. Two nice pieces of flounder were filled with a wonderful cream filling of spinach and feta over garlic mashed potatoes. For dessert, we ended with apple strudel with can ice cream and pumpkin cheesecake served with one coffee and a cappuccino. A few items on the special menu included pork tenderloin Wellington, pumpkin spiced potstickers to name a few. Overall, the food was outstanding with wonderful service.

this was my husband's 85th birthday and he wanted a good steak dinner. We drove about an hour to Brandl, and it was definitely worth the drive--picture-perfect Fall day, outstanding food and service. We'd definitely do this again!!

We celebrated my son’s 21st birthday and Brandl did not disappoint. The food and service were outstanding! The tuna tartare appetizer was amazing! The lazy lobster and mushroom risotto were delicious and the NY strip steaks were cooked perfectly medium rare as ordered. For dessert we had the chocolate and white raspberry soufflés, which were so yummy and enough for all of us to share. The service was attentive and very professional. I highly recommend Brandl. We will definitely be back!

We are regulars at Brandl as we love their food and hospitality. On the evening we went we enjoyed the nightly burrata offering that had roasted tomatoes with basil oil, delicious. Entrees included the seafood special of blackened sea scallops served over Mexican street corn. This was a delightful combination of flavors and very tasty. We also orders the mushroom risotto that was very creamy and flavorful. A side order of Brussels sprouts was also fantastic. These little bulbs are deeper fried to a delicate crispness then drizzled with pomegranate molasses which imbued a wonderful flavor.

Food came cold, especially sides. Biggest miss was the medium rare steak that came well done and took another 10-15 minutes to arrive, well after everyone had finished their meals.
