Best Hidden Secret in Los Angeles
If you are looking for fine dining without the "L.A." attitude this is the place for you. The food can only be described as incredible. Everything is as fresh as it comes. I've been going there for years and have yet to have the same soup twice. The food is fabulous. I always feel like a queen when I am at Brandywine.    [26 Jun 2002 00:18:42]

Fabulous
Very quaint, on the small size. Don't let that fool you. This is by far the best continental dining in the valley.

Everything I have had there is great. I recommend the daily specials as the sauces are wonderful. Many classic French flavors.

Many nights they have a classical guitar player.    [07 Jul 2003 22:35:37]

Very European touches
The owner is gracious, the waiters are attentive and the food is spectacular. The Burratta with home made mozzarella is absolutely scrumptious. From the lox with dill sauce served with the home made rolls to the deliciously cooked dinners and delectable desserts, it was a perfect. Their home-made ice creams are a perfect close to an excellent dinner. The lace curtains add a distinctive European touch to the booths.    [16 Aug 2004 12:49:12]

It's worth the price
After reading range of comments from good to bad, I was really worried about eating at Brandywine. I wanted to celebrate a dear friend's Birthday and I wanted the evening to be nice.

I liked the "Brandywine experience" very much. Yes, the waiter has a lot of personality, but frankly it's a huge improvement over the seemingly bored twenty-somethings that usually wait on me. He was not fake, as someone said, he was just very in to his job and seems to be very proud of his restaurant (and he should be).

Make reservations. The place is super tiny, like maybe 7 tables or so.

I took someone's recommendation and had the signature dishes. Everything was outstanding. The steak was better than anything I have eaten at Morton's, Ruth Chris, or Saddlepeak Lodge.

Bradywine is a very sweet little place and something not likely to last much longer in this world world where people flock to Claim Jumper and P.F. Chang's 700 seat dining rooms and think it is a major dining experience.    [15 Jun 2007 17:39:13]
