We enjoyed the ambiance! The food was OK--but I expected more flavor across the entire meal. We ordered the carrot ginger soup, but it was a bit bland. I wish they had salt and pepper shakers on the table. It definitely needed some spice added. The special entree was grilled walleye. That was fine, grilled. However the polenta with the black rice was a zero in terms of flavor and texture. I tried a few forkfuls of it, hoping it would grow on me, but between the lack of flavor, the texture and the color, it didn't improve. We then shared a dessert, the burned butter rhubarb cake, which the waitress recommended. It had a nice flavor but the best was the ginger lemon ice cream is was served with. We live out of the area and met friends there. So we probably will meet up elsewhere with them in the future. read more

I made the reservation for our wedding anniversary based on the website stating this lounge area was a nice intimate setting. This was completely the opposite. Very noisy. They graciously moved us into the dinning area to a high top table. Again this is a noisy room and the table was petite. read more

We had the most lovely dinner last night at Brandywine. From the warm welcome, the incredible food and fabulous server, Taylor it could not have been more perfect. So thankful this amazing restaurant is in Cedarburg. read more

Hit and miss with the food but when it's good it's really good. Inconsistency could be its downfall.

We did not have reservations but they were able to accommodate us at the bar. The service was still phenomenal and the food was amazing. My only regrets was not being prepared to eat more. I can't wait to come back and try everything on the menu. read more

The wine, charcuterie, main dishes and service were all great here. The pork chop was the most tender I have ever had. Take a recommendation from a "foodie", this place is unexpectedly great! Worth a visit! read more

Another gem in Cedarsburg!! Food was fantastic and service was great. Highly recommend to anyone!

The food was delicious and attractively served. We dined there with guests and we had a wonderful time.

I thought Brandywine was perfect. It's very hard to find the style and quality of food that Brandywine has on their menu so having a place with upscale fine dining that actually is what it claims to be is wonderful. Also, any reason to visit Cedarburg is always on my list. The bar staff were great as well. Jason is a great guy who I love to see whenever I go to Brandywine - they are lucky to have him working for them. Brandywine is definitely on my go-to list of restaurants when I need a great night out. read more

Food is great. No doubt. Markup on wine is 150%. A little rich but ok. But when you spend $200 on dinner and you're at a table with your wife and asked to "move to another table", one has to ask whether they have it all figured out? Something to consider. read more

The food here is absolutely amazing. Cheese curds were fantastic. Entree was delicious. I think the dessert was the best of all, though. We had the goat cheese cheesecake and the basil ice cream and oh my gosh the flavors were just so interesting and complementary. Service and ambiance were also great. I wish I lived nearby instead of just visiting because I would love to go again. read more

Last night we had an amazing 30th birthday dinner for my son at Brandywine. We had a last minute reservation change from 6 to 8 in our party. Brandywine was able to accommodate us on a very busy night. Our table was amazing and the service was beyond amazing. The food was unbelievable. We were able to order almost everything on the menu, and each entree was better than the next. Our youngest recently graduated from CIA and is an entry level chef for one of the top restaurant groups in the world. He tasted each meal and explained the ingredients and cooking techniques for each. Compliments to the very talented executive chef and kitchen staff! We also tried a number of the specialty drinks. The ingredients were surprising but tasty. Obviously a lot of thought and practice went into this menu. Similarly, we tried a number of ice creams for dessert. The flavors weren't everyday flavors but were excellent combinations of complementary tastes. It is very rare that a restaurant achieves perfection in every category. Brandywine did last night. WOW. read more

Great food & service but a little pricey which makes it difficult to support weekly. Parking can be changing

Best cheese curds. Just make sure your dinner mate doesn't secretly slide you all the breaded zucchini, while stealing all the curds because they look the same. Char was great, no dyes, raised in Bristol Wi if I recall. Item was supposed to come with beans, but they were having issues so offered potatoes instead. I actually can't imagine not having the potatoes, but maybe beans would have been okay too? Husband ordered Mezzaluna. Flavor was great. I hate spicy, but I could handle this. Wish there were a couple more dumplings instead of the huge heap of spinach to fill the plate. Do yourself a favor. Order the flourless chocolate cake. Eat that piece of cake. And sleep happy. Will be back! read more

Delicious food and a nice atmosphere when you want a night out. Expensive, but good for special occasions.

Food is good, but on the expensive side. Service is good. Nice ambiance. Cute patio out back.

A culinary gem!!!' The very original cocktail Lumière had a bitter citrusy taste with a hint of flowers and herbs due to the successful blending of gin, StGermain, Chartreuse, vermouth and lime juice. The marinated olives with rosemary sourdough focaccia were a great start of the fantastic meal. The Parmesan herb aioli complemented perfectly the crispy steak fries cooked to perfection. The grilled bavette steak (sirloin cut) with red wine sauce served with gremolata, sautéed green beans and polenta was melting in the mouth. Excellent cuisine, first class service, and charming environment. We will be back soon. I highly recommend! read more

First timer. Staff was fantastic from host, bartender to waitresses. Food was also excellent. Will be back.

This is a small, homey restaurant in the heart of Cedarburg that you just CAN NOT miss. The food is excellent - you can tell it is made with love, care and passion. It is quite small, so I highly recommend a reservation, especially in the winter when the patio tables are no longer in use. read more

We have had a few wonderful dining experience here. The only negative is the volume level from people talking when the restaurant was full prior to COVID. If you are dining here please be considerate to the business that is operating at a very reduced capacity and allow the business to serve as many as possible so we can continue to enjoy this dining gem. read more

Would highly recommend. The food was out of this world. I can't remember the last time I had a meal so good. Their goat cheese curds with oyster mushrooms and Brussels sprouts, and the roasted cauliflower salad were absolutely amazing starters. For my entree I had the sweet potato gnocchi which knocked my socks off. Seriously fantastic stuff and super friendly staff! Lovely ambiance as well. read more

While visiting family in the area we stopped by Brandywine and had a great time. The food was amazing, atmosphere was great and loved the location. Dined during their soft open when you expect a new restaurant to still be working out the kinks. But our visit went very very smoothly. I know they are working on the drink menu so expect that to mature over the coming weeks. We Loved the Flatbread and the Pork Dumpling Pasta. Locally sourced and a menu that changes with the seasons, I cant wait to come back and try more! read more

Delicious! Fresh ingredients, nice atmosphere and great service. Their cocktails were great too!

Delicious food and great atmosphere! Our waitress was both knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend

Amazing experience! I'd never been to cedarburg before so I was pleasantly surprised by how cute the restaurant was as well as the entire street it's on! I absolutely loved the ambiance and vibe. We started with some glasses of Cabernet and for appetizers we ordered the fried goat cheese curds and the grilled rosemary sourdough foccacia, both were very yummy! Next for entrees, I ordered the black pepper mafalda which was SO good! The brussel sprouts were crispy and full of flavor and the sauce was just delicious! My bf ordered the pasta special and really enjoyed it. We ended the meal with dessert. Our waitress recommended the cheesecake and it did not disappoint-- very flavorful! We had a wonderful time! It was absolutely worth the 30 minute drive from downtown MKE and we will absolutely be going back to not only to the restaurant but also to check out the shops on the charming street! read more

I've yet to be disappointed with the food and environment at Brandywine. I think the menu is thoughtful and the ingredients mostly taste fresh and are creatively prepared. Thankful they are nearby. read more

Good, but overhyped. I thought I had seen this advertised as tapas/small plates, but most of the dishes on the menu seemed to be $35-$45 entrees. What? Note to Cedarburg shop owners: after all the wine (and now gin!) tasting on Washington Ave., your tourists are FULL. I'm always happy for some rabbit or duck... but maybe in smaller portions. read more

If you are north of Milwaukee County, definitely check out Brandywine. It does get busy, so I would recommend going early or making a reservation. There are also seats along the bar for walk-ins. Brandywine always offers interesting options of food and drinks off of a rotating menu, which is one of the reasons we enjoy it so much. For our most recent experience, I started with a white negroni cocktail. It was herbaceous, lemony and a perfect start. Our first two dishes were a roasted beet dish with farro and creme fraiche and a tuna carpaccio with roast pork belly. The carpacio was interesting, not only because it was like a surf and turf, but also because of the addition of a strawberry chili jam and avocado puree. The dish was not quite as advertised as it was not a carpaccio (thinly sliced), but was more of a seared tuna. Also, the pork belly was a little too crispy and didn't really integrate in the dish. However, the strawberry gave it interesting dimension and the brightness of the avocado puree elevated the dish. Despite a couple issues with the dish, it was excellent! The beet dish was interesting because of the farro pairing, but was otherwise fairly ordinary (but still tasty). For mains, we had the pan seared branzino and the ricotta gnocchi. The saffron aioli gave the fish nice depth, while the briny olives and capers added a perfect amount of acidity to the dish. The gnocchi were on the denser side, but full of flavor and the mushrooms and celery root turned them into a nice fall dish. The main dishes were both excellent! Brandywine's commitment to experimentation with locally sourced and in season ingredients makes it a fun spot to try over and over. Its execution, although not perfect, is on par with many of the better known restaurants in Milwaukee. read more

Finally got to visit Brandywine tonight and it was well worth the wait! Our waitress was very attentive and the food was amazing! We had a larger group (9) and they were accommodating and all of our food came out together and hot. Can't wait to go back again! read more

Can't say enough about Brandywine. Great local restaurant, emphasis on fresh local foods. Very friendly service. We have been there at least 10 times, and never had a bad night. We love the rotating menu items, and of course date night. Highly recommended. read more

Great food, but since COVID a lot of the great waitstaff have left and the ones that are working now are immature.

Brandywine is 1 of my favorite restaurants in the USA. I suggest: Almond Stuffed Olives, Roasted Beets, Grilled Flat Iron Steak with parmesan polenta, coffee roasted carrots, crispy shallots, smoked pepper demi-glace and pancetta. The staff is fantastic. Reservations are a necessity. 1 issue is that it is loud. Dinner will be perfectly prepared and memorable. read more

Omg this place is just phenomenal!! Food, atmosphere & drinks are amazing. Can't wait to go back for another spectacular meal

The food is always wonderful, and the service is great as well. Love the patio when weather permits.

Brandywine was excellent. Our entire party of 6 enjoyed everything. The cheesecurds were perfectly done. The salads were good. We loved the whitefish entree. The home made pasta was good. Very reasonable prices for this we quality. Service was fine. Decor is nice. read more

Service is great! Food is delivered in a timely manner and always fresh and delicious. They do have higher prices, but I personally think they're worth it. The ambience has soft lighting and is relaxed and upscale for cedarburg. A great place for date night! read more

Delicious food. Expensive, but a nice place to go for date night. Nice ambiance. Nice service.

Delightful restaurant. Wednesday bargain wine night with complementary chefs choice appetizer is a lot of fun and a great value. Entrees are great too.. flank steak was fantastic. Chef Andrew can cook with the best. Only negative is noise level.. a historical building so can't change a lot of things, but hopefully they will be able to add some sound deadening materials. read more

Beautiful atmosphere, great service, and wonderful, farm to table food. They have taken many different, eating styles into account here. The small plates are great too! read more
