Food: Mediocre tastes abound

Creativity is a stranger at The Brant. Expect simple American basics that wouldn't stress the taste buds of a four-year-old. Flavor? Think overcooked seafood, stale bread, and freezer-chilled desserts. The portions teeter between decent and disappointing while offering questionable value. The menu, seemingly designed for a ravenous rabbit, fails to excite with its lack of variety.

  • Okay Portions

    Reviews often highlight portion size, both positively and negatively.

  • Bad Taste

    Subpar food and drinks, overdone halibut, sad little fries.

Vibe: Marvelous visuals, superb sips

The Brant’s redeeming grace is its ambiance. The decor masterfully combines cozy, chic, and modern, creating a visually pleasing spectacle. The restaurant offers exceptional views that elevate the dining experience, presenting stunning ocean sunsets and arresting cityscapes. The expertly crafted signature cocktails and impressive drink selections lighten the overall disappointment.

  • Great Views

    Amazing views enhance dining, particularly ocean sunsets and cityscapes.

  • Okay For Dates

    Mix of upscale and casual vibe suitable for dates and group outings.

Perks: Noise abound, service astounds

Parking ease and warming outdoor patio comfort contrast with the restaurant's deafening noise levels, which render any attempt at conversation futile. Large groups suffer neglect and wait longer, but the attentive and quick service generally leaves a positive impression. Their kid-friendly atmosphere along with accommodating staff are an unexpected bonus.

    Attentive, quick service praised across many positive experiences.

  • Okay To Reserve

    Reservations are recommended, but some experience minor hiccups on arrival.

  • Bad For Groups

    Cramped seating, neglect of large groups, and noticeable long waits.
