Good, but nothing spectacular

Contributor at Citysearch

I'm sort of a snob, and I hate cheap tasting food. At first the decor threw me, but I was nicely surprised. the meals are very affordable with mid grade quality food. The service was very quick, and the food flavorful, more than I expected for the price range.

Terrible food; bad service

by xopineapple71890xo at Citysearch

After breaking the bank with orchestra seats at Jersey Boys, my boyfriend and I wanted to eat somewhere that was reasonably priced. We were expecting this quaintly named diner to be much better than it was. First, the service was terrible. We hardly saw our waiter and had to wait forever to get our drinks refilled and more bread. The food did not compensate for the service. The salad arrived soaking wet and the dressing was mediocre. We hadn't even finished our salads when our waiter, not even bothering to take them away, set down our entrees, leaving no space to eat. We had tilapia and ravioli and both dishes were exceedingly bland and not worth the price. I would NOT recommend Beef and Brandy to anyone.

  • Pros: a small discount for showing ticket stubs
  • Cons: horrible service, bland food

I stopped by on the way home one evening. The place looked nice, but I wasn't really expecting much. Boy, was I surprised! Delicious entree, amazing decor, cheerful and friendly wait staff, more than competitive price. Couldn't believe how good the rib eye steak was.

Will DEFINITELY come back!

  • Pros: Decor, Staff, Food, Price
