Raised in this welcoming tradition, he believes when you enter Brando's, whether its your first time or your one hundredth time, you should always feel like they are dining with family.Soulful Italian is the best way to describe our menu.

Deal Lake Bar + Co is a perfect spot for a date night, as per the reviews. It has a lively, modern atmosphere and offers both indoor and outdoor dining. The food is excellent and the service is commendable. The outdoor patio with a lakeside bar is a special highlight. The restaurant is open for weekdays, but weekends are first-come-first-serve, which adds to the spontaneous, relaxed date night vibe.

We haven't been here in quite some time, and saw the menu had been updated, so decided to try it out. We sat at the chefs table and got to watch the behind the scenes cooking. Everything that came out of the kitchen was meticulously plated. Everything looked beautiful! We started with the “Salatim” and the Shishito. For our entrees we had the Schnitzel and the Squash. Everything was excellent! My husband usually gets steak, but seeing Schnitzel after schnitzel come out of the kitchen, he wanted to give it a try. He said it was the best chicken he has ever had. My Squash (vegan option) was delicious! We will definitely be back soon!
