The staff here is amazing, caring, and fun to interact with. They make it a point to get to know you, especially if you're a regular - recalling your beverage of choice, where you like to be seated, and so on. The food is incredible and with proper portion sizes. Their espresso martini is the best I've had, by far. My usual go-to for dinner is the Arrabbiata. The hookah quality is the closest to a nice, "home-made" hookah, producing big clouds. The owners and manager are open to feedback and are constantly innovating, making The Brandy the place to be, just about every day of the week; always keeping you on your toes with their entertainment, which includes a variety of musicians, dancers, & DJs, trivia nights, salsa/bachata nights, comedy nights, and hookah/mezcal-tasting nights. The list never ceases to grow. If you go on your birthday, and someone makes it known to the waiter/waitress, you can count on a bouquet of sparklers to greet you at some point throughout the night. They're also able to close down the restaurant (either or both the inside/outside area) for private events, such as office Christmas parties, birthdays, and anniversaries. All the unique perks aside, the overall vibe of the environment, alone, makes The Brandy the place to be. More...

I recently did my birthday party here at the brandy. Everything was beyond amazing. I had closed down the entire inside for my guests. From beginning to end. Hovig made it so easy and enjoyable process where it all just flowed. The food was beyond amazing. Perfect vibe all over. Hookah was great. Best best decision I made was doing a private event here. All my guests enjoyed themselves and all I got was how awesome the service was and overall great vibe. DJ Arman was there that day he was wow played the perfect and right songs. Entertainment was great. The violinist she was insane good along with the drummer and belly dancer. Doing a party here honestly just get ur cake and ur outfit rest is all easy breezy and handled by the venue. Thanks again hovig! Can't wait to come by again. :) More...

A Mediterranean restaurant and elevated hookah lounge in one. I enjoyed the sophisticated approach and modern dishes. We came within 30 minutes of opening and there was no wait. I enjoyed the patio seating more, but indoor is lively with a DJ. It does get busier in the night. For two, we ordered the mushroom shawarma ($17), fried brussels sprouts ($16), seafood ceviche ($22), and wagyu sliders ($19). These appetizers were great for sharing. My favorite was the mushroom shawarma and brussels sprouts. For cocktails, we got the brandy ($21) and midnight kiss ($19). For hookah, we tried one of their house blends called white knight ($38). The flavor was white gummy, peach, and lemon mint. The customer service was outstanding! Our waitress was very attentive, gave us recommendations, and came by multiple times to check up on us. The food also came out fast and right after another. We really enjoyed our dining experience as well as the hookah. More...

Everything was amazing; from the entertainment, drinks, food, hookah, ambiance, etc! Hovig, was a total gem! He was so attentive/detailed and made all the planning so smooth! Highly recommend The Brandy for your next event or even night out! Thank you Hovig and your entire team for making our holiday party one that we'll always remember! More...

We have hired The Brandy twice this year for company events and they have given us spectacular service both times. The Brandy hosted our annual Halloween party. We rented out the whole restaurant and patio. Hovik, Palo, and the rest of the staff were wonderful. They decked the whole place out in spooky vibes, handcrafted hookah menus, and created delicious drinks and food for us to enjoy. We recently had The Brandy be our hookah vendor for our Office Christmas Party. We had 120 guests and Harry worked efficiently in always ensuring our guests had hot coals and fresh hookah heads. If you're wondering on where to have a great dinner, smoke smooth hookah, rent hookah for a party, or book a hospitable venue, then The Brandy is your place. Thank you to everyone! More...

I usually never write reviews and this is actually my first. I had dinner here with my sister. We both had the chicken kabob plates. About half and hour after leaving we both felt sick. I called to inform them of my experience and the manager was insensitive. He responded "uhhh okay we will check our chicken thank you" and hung up. Initially, I had called them because I was actually concerned and thought they should know that their chicken was more than likely spoiled. With the response I received I feel that this should have been handled more professionally. Especially if they're gonna automatically charge 20% gratuity for a 2 person party. On top of that, we ordered shishito peppers as a appetizer and the waitress forgot about them until we had reminded her when our entree was already served. More...

I went to this place for the 2nd time last Saturday and I was completely disappointed. We had to wait almost 1 hour in order to get seated even though there were a few empty tables. they told us that they are reserved but noone really showed up. Once seated in the indoor area, the music was so loud that we could barely hear and talk to each other. although the DJ was great and had a great selection of music and songs. To start with we order some cocktails and appetizers. They completely rip you off on any liquors or cocktails. Our cocktails had almost non alcohol in it just some mixture of syrup and water. So we decided to order some beer. To my surprise they were also so cheap that our glass of bear was 3/4 full. They also charge you like 5$ for some tiny pitta bread which doesn't even cost 10 cents. A good advice for the owner. If you want to stay in business make be profitable, be honest and don't be cheap by ripping people off by saving on liquors and other things. People are not stupid and they realise that it is not worth coming there for their money. I only give 2 stars and that is for the performance of the DJ and the dancers that night and 0 start for the management. More...

The ambience at brandy is exceptional, prompting my strong recommendation. The culinary offerings are exquisite, complemented by an unparalleled standard of service, notably attributed to the expertise of chef Gev, the adept management of floor manager polo, and the proprietorship of h the Hovig. my frequent visits to this establishment have constantly surpassed my expectations. Noticeably, the skillful craftsmanship of Kese in preparing and maintaining the hookah has been a standout since 2013, setting an unparalleled standard that remains unrivaled. More...

My wife planned my 40th birthday at the brandy over the past weekend and I couldn't have been more pleased. The service is unlike anything I have seen in a long time. All our guests raved about their experience and all mentioned the excellent service led by manager Polo. They all truly went over and beyond to make our night special. Hovig was a huge help in the planning process and per my wife made the entire planning stage a breeze. Food was excellent. We had a set menu of hummus, Brussel sprouts, tahini Caesar, beef/chicken kabob, arrabbiata, greek potatoes, sumac cucumbers, rice and kanefe. All the dishes were so tasty. Drinks were also excellent. Waiters refilled nonstop and were really good about effortlessly getting orders out to a group of 60. We had the entire indoor reserved for our event. They also have a patio/outdoor area! I absolutely recommend this place whether for an event or just a night out. Ah forgot to mention.. Saturday nights are jazz/burlesque nights and they have performers on site for a few hours. That was also a nice touch to our event. Check this place out. Ask for Hovig. You won't regret it. More...

The DJ and choice of music played is just perfect. My best friend and I are obsessed! We've been to many hookah lounges but this one tops them all. Just imagine, good food, good drinks, good music, good hookah, clean restrooms, amazing service all in one. You can't find a place that offers all that anywhere! This place is a MUST!

Been here twice now and both times have been great. If you sit outside I've found it to be more enjoyable. They have hookah, drinks and flood and are open late! I ordered the North east side and it was delicious. The cocktail did not taste cheap. Can't speak much on the food because I've usually been here post events so haven't needed to order food. The music is always really fun the dj does a great job of mixing things up. It's overall a fun atmosphere and the service is usually great as well. More...
