Brando's was founded on the premise of great food made from quality ingredients, excellent service, and a warm atmosphere which we believe are the three elements of any enjoyable dining experience.The chef/owner, Steven Botta, grew up in Brooklyn and learned many of recipes used at Brando's from his mother. 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. Our culinary team has been trained at the finest culinary schools, and has over fifty years of combined experience. From our fresh pasta, to our line-caught fish, to our thirty-five day dry-aged steaks, the difference is discernible

    This was our 3 time eating and the food was excellent. We sat at the counter and watched the food being made and made our selection that way. The broccoli presto fusible was delicious and had the pistachio cake for desert and I could not stop eating it was so good.

    Grand Tavern never disappoints. The food is phenomenal. Creative and always delicious. The cocktails are expertly crafted and not something you would or could easily throw together at home. If you are in doubt after reading the menu descriptions, just ask Erin (the bartender) for her opinion on food and/or drink. She is a master at her craft and is equally as skilled in knowing what the kitchen is whipping up. In edition to being talented, Erin is the perfect blend of friendly, wry and attentive without being intrusive. She makes Grand Tavern that much more special.
