    great meal! apps were good, drinks were great, happy with the experience! Would come back again

    Gordon V.

    Excellent service. Well laid out menus with variety of choices. Seating choices bar, inside, or high tops overlooking outdoor road area. If you're not in a booth the hard metal seats are not as comfortable as would like. Dinner was amazing. Fish cooked to perfection. Scallops a bit salty. Fair wine pours and pricing, food pricing for market items a bit high. Sports tv on.

    Enjoyable dinner at Branca. Seated by emergency exit to new enclosed patio which was fine except hostesses kept using the door as a shortcut back to the host stand and we would get a blast of 15 degree air each time. Not going to ding them a star for that but could be avoided by walking back around. Both meals were delicious, well prepared, delivered in the right amount of time. Servers were attentive and friendly.

    I like this Branca location best. It's a nice atmosphere but also not too elite fancy. For me I enjoyed the variety of appetizers better than my entree but it was all pretty good too. The pasta had a different texture from what I'm used to but I think it was the sauce. Also our server was very nice and attentive.

    Branca is branc as hell! Yes i just made up the word "branc"' it means "bonza" which is Aussie for "dang as hell" which is slang American English for "this place rocks!" Yea, when u come into branca get yourself a bomb drink, a nice clean pie, maybe some frites or other mezza and of course the connolies! I can't wait to come back! Had a fantastic experience!

    Burrata with roasted veggies, a meal on its own!

    I am perplexed by some of the reviews...we're from out of state and visit during the summers. We've been a total of five times (last year and this year) and I've always been super impressed. Our service has always been perfect and the food is VERY good! During our last visit we had the Burrata with roasted veggies (SO much food! Could easily be a meal!), my husband had the linguine with lobster tails (so damn good!) and I had the Funghi pizza. I normally don't order pizza, but anything with mushrooms, goat cheese AND truffle oil? Done. It was freaking exquisite! Such an amazing balance of strong flavors...the proportions were perfect and I had a party in my mouth! We love sitting at the bar, but it was full when we got there, so we sat at a table. Our service was wonderful, but next time we'll try to get there early enough for a bar seat...it looked lively and fun! And for the person irked about people at the bar being near them and breathing on them? It's a bar area...crowded and fun, and we would have loved it!

    Under new ownership. My friends were in town and wanted to grab dinner. There aren't many restaurants that are open on a Monday. It was easy to make a reservation, can be done online or over the phone. I left voicemail to change our reservations, I couldn't do it online since we had a big group. I called to confirm everything and no one had gotten the voicemail, it was eventually sorted. The menu is on a QR code. My friends and I ordered a bottle of wine and several appetizers. The frito misto was nice and light and the lightly flowered vegetables were done nicely. I really enjoyed the dipping sauce. We also ordered the margherita and funghi pizza. I like the magherita pizza over the funghi pizza, I personally do not like goat cheese. I love that its made in a brick oven. We did not get a a pizza spatula with either of our pizzas. Since Valentine's Day was the previous day, we were still allowed to order from the special menu. Half of my group ordered the steak and scallop Valentine's Day special. Two of the steaks were cooked wrong, it was suppose to be medium but it was cooked medium well. I ordered a shrimp scampi pasta, it was good, just a tad rich. Overall, my friends and I had a great time at Branca and enjoyed the atmosphere.

    I was visiting my friend for the weekend and she never stopped talking about all the great reviews…read morethey received and she'd been wanting to go so of course we had to add this to my visit. There was street parking available in front of the restaurant and on either side of the street. When we walked in the first thing I noticed was the decor. Everything was beautifully decorated and so welcoming. The bar was to the right and the host stand a little further up. I didn't get a picture when we walked in but there was the cutest orange stand and a sign with an arrow pointing to the host stand. They had live music that night and it was pretty busy. Once we were seated we did wait for some time before someone came to greet us but the person that sat us did bring us water. When someone came over they were very apologetic for the wait and let us know there may be a little delay with the food but was very proactive with making drink recommendations and took our food order before leaving the table. Our drinks were delicious! I got the coconut lime margarita and it was so flavorful. My friend got the espresso martini and she said it was so good. We enjoyed the music while we waited and all of the waitresses would check on us anytime they walked by. We ordered a second round of drinks and I got the pistachio martini and my friend got the crème brûlée martini and both were great. I really like this restaurant because they offer small plates so my friend and I picked a few we both wanted to try. We got the stuffed gnocchi flight, arancini classico, and ahi tuna martini. All 3 were 10/10 on the taste scale. My favorite of the gnocchi flight is the one with pesto. The arancini was so tasty and the sauce that came with them was a perfect pairing. The cilantro crema on the ahi tuna martini was the star of the dish. Overall, this was an incredible dining experience and I'd love to come again to try some items from their dessert menu and on a night with no live music.

They also have a surprisingly large food menu, but we just had cocktails and dessert. Drinks were just OK, but the desserts were great! Definitely recommend the chocolate raspberry cake. My only critique is that the table arrangement is setup more like a restaurant than a lounge and the decor is a bit random. If they made it feel a bit more loungey, I think it would improve the overall vibe.

    Two stars, and that feels generous…read more My wife and I recently visited Bonnie and Clyde in Fairport as part of a group of eight, and we left disappointed. At $117 for the two of us, including tax and tip, we expected a lot more than we got. Let's start with the positives. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. The building itself is a converted bank, and the old vault is a striking architectural feature, though we didn't dine in it. The restaurant also deserves credit for offering some vegan options, including one vegan entrée. That said, the issues outweighed the highlights considerably. The noise level was genuinely awful. We were at a table of eight and had trouble hearing each other. The space felt sparse and cold, not in a minimalist-chic way, but in an unfinished way. The whole "Bonnie and Clyde" theme has such strong possibilities it's a shame they didn't pursue them. The food was mediocre and overpriced. I ordered two vegan sides instead of an entrée: French fries and a roasted beet salad. I asked the waiter to prepare the fries vegan-style with just ketchup, but they arrived with two sides of non-vegan aioli anyway. The fries themselves were average. The beet salad was fine but small and forgettable. My wife ordered the king trumpet mushrooms, the only vegan entrée on the menu. The mushrooms were decent, nothing more. Her cocktail special, a kiwi and vodka drink, was watery and bland. A few other frustrations: the vegan items are not labeled as such on the menu, which is an easy fix that would doubtless help many diners. There is only one vegan entrée, which feels thin. And Lagunitas non-alcoholic beer is available, but you would never know it, since it does not appear on the drinks menu. We will not be returning.

    I've been here twice now and have enjoy my meals both times…read more The first time I met a friend on a Saturday for late lunch about 3:15. The restaurant is somewhat small, and I was glad when we arrived when we did. A large group of young people came in and took up nearly every open space in the restaurant. When I came again on a Thursday at noon, I was alone and took a seat at the bar. All of the open tables filled up quickly and there was no room left at the bar either. That's truly my ony complaint is that there isn't enough seating. Ok, getting to the food: Banh Xeo (crispy rice pancake) was really good. I enjoyed this simple dish as an appetizer and liked wrapping it up in the lettuce that was served alongside it. It was only a tad bit greasy, but the flavors were very good. Papaya salad was good - a little spicy. I would go milder next time I ordered it. I like that it's served with the sticky rice. When I ordered this, I actually had very little time to eat it before my main came. Ended up taking it and the sticky rice home which didn't really translate well. I would probably not order this as take out based on that. But if you like a good papaya salad, you'll enjoy this one. On my most recent visit I went for a simple chicken pho and loaded it up with chili oil, jalapeno, lime and cilantro. I would have maybe liked a bit of thai basil, but overall the flavors were good. The chicken was good quality white meat which I prefer, and the broth had a nice flavors. This is perfect for a slow, rainy, grey day. The other soup I had was the Bun Bo Hue which has spicy beef in a pork broth. It was really good, and spicy on it's own so I didn't add anything. The red cabbage is what makes it special for me! I would definitely order this again. I've tried both the lychee and pandan spritzers. The pandan has a more earthy flavor which was nice to try, but I don't think it's my favorite. The lychee was a perfect mix of sweet and bubbly. At $5 I probably can't justify ordering it, but it was really good and a refreshing treat. The staff here are very nice and care about your experience. It's nice when the chefs come out and deliver your food and check in on you. I really enjoyed the last couple of visits, and I would recommend it to others. It's probably best that this restaurant is so far from my house, because I could easily become a regular. Definitely worth a try!

He ordered the "make it a plate with mac salad and fries" but the wings came out solo. When I reminded the waitress they were missing she immediately went to correct that but it still took about 15 minutes to come out.

Reservations can be hard to come by and go quickly. I found information on reservations from The DeLand House on Main Facebook page. When you arrive the entrance is tucked away on the side. There was an employee at the door who greeted us and asked for our reservation name. He then asked us for the password which I did not remember. Thankfully he gave us a hint. The experience of getting to the bar area is very fun. As this is a speakeasy the entrance is hidden in plain sight. You must go up a flight of stairs, down a hallway, and from there you'll need to find a certain button to reveal an additional flight of stairs. We really enjoyed the spectacle of this part. We got to the bar area and were surprised by how packed it was. We had a table with a view next to a lovely window seat (great photo opportunity) The decor is fun and inviting. We also enjoyed the beautiful plates and silverware. Service was wonderful. Every employee we encountered was engaging and we felt they made effort to make the experience special. Food and drinks were enjoyable. The signature cocktails are 15 dollars a piece. Beer (canned) and wine is also available. I ordered the corpse reviver no 2. Cocktail. Lightly sweet and fruity. The menu offers a variety of small plates. We tried the chicken meatballs, whipped mozzarella & balsamic tomatoes, and lemon creme profiteroles. Everything was tasty but nothing mind blowing. My favorite were the lemon creme profiteroles which featured a triple berry coulis. The flavors were refreshing and summery. The seating area did have some cool air flow through from time to time but after being up there for a bit we started to feel warm. Overall, The Blind Pig is a very fun and unique experience. One of a kind for this area and makes for a fun night out.

    We really enjoyed our first experience at the Blind Pig (and we will be returning in March with…read morefriends). The experience is indeed novel. We enjoyed the setting (we secured a couch) for the two of us. The drinks were very good, although at least the first one I had was a bit small (more in the second). Really enjoyed the combinations. And it'snice that they have non-alcoholic versions for those who prefer that. The small bites, in my opinion were outstanding, and we sampled everything we could (except the peanuts). It's not quite a full meal, however, even after sharing 5 of the offerings so we went elsewhere afterwards for a bit more. I do like that they let you linger and don't push you, though we were out in about an hour and a half. For 2 (three cocktails, 1 glass of wine, 5 small plates, $103.72 + 20% tip, $124.46. I would recommend that everyone try this at least once (though I'm unsure if it is accessible for those with mobility issues. A lot of stairs in an old building. Finally, I commend the owners for all that they are doing at the Deland House. Lots of innovative project and a fascinating place for weddings and banquets. Though I do miss the ol' Mr. Dominic's.
