Some friends and I stopped in after running the Surf City Half and 5K, and the California Benedict I ordered hit the spot! Poached egg, bacon, avocado, tomato, hollandaise and basil pesto atop an English muffin, served with hash browns satisfied all of my cravings! Service was friendly, and they were able to seat us immediately! read more

i made rez via opentable for the wknd. super easy. one of my girlfriends and i were overdue for a brunch date..like wayyy over due. we agreed on the brant, so glad we met here! the restaurant is so pretty and spacious! everyone was so friendly and welcoming. they are dog friendly as well! beautiful beech views as we sat next to the glass wall. we ordered to share: Crispy Brussels Stuffed French Toast The Brant Breakfast Sandwich everything was so good. def will be back as there were a few other menu items i want to try! we stayed for about 1.5hrs chatting and eating. until out of nowhere our waitress came to ask if she can clear our table and pack our leftovers before we were ready, def felt rushed, even tho the restaurant was kinda empty .. that part was off-putting . maybe she was due for a break or lunch. idk. we both felt like we were getting kicked out lol.. but ill be back to try their fried chicken and waffles! parking: located on the upper level of pacific city. parking garage / surface lot / valet read more

So glad I stumbled upon this place! I asked ChatGPT for a nice sit down brunch place with an ocean view. Thank you ChatGPT! It delivered exactly what I was wanting The view here on the patio is just perfect. .. sometimes with such a great view .. the food is lackluster (I'm looking at you rooftop Laguna) Luckily this most the case here. The food was all good! Service is a bit sluggish, but honestly..enjoying the ocean breeze makes waiting for your food.. a breeze We had the breakfast sandwich. The burger.. and tuna tacos. No flaws . Nothing amazing , but I'll take solid good food over a hit and miss menu anytime Brunch doesn't have a lot of lighter fare options. So looking forward to. Dinner service ! We will definitely be back! read more

The Brandt was such a great experience. The inside has an upscale beachy vibe with a beautiful view if you are near the window seating although much of the dining room has that view since they are second story. The cocktails were fabulous and had some unique twists that I really enjoyed. The lychee martini was amazing and i'm bummed it's only a drink of the month for them. The short ribs were super flavorful and served on a pineapple risotto that so unique and tasty. The french dip was also very good, always a nice classic and the halibut was a good dish but a little small on the fish serving. Our service was great and fairly quick. Would definitely come back for a date night, dinner with friends or celebration. read more

Beautiful spot with ocean (SUNSET!) views. Asparagus fries are probably not healthy, but they ARE GOOD. Chopped salad (LARGE) with filet (excellent). Finished with Smog City IPA and you have an excellent evening. Fantastic service; HIGHLY recommended! read more

The Brant - Sunset from our table - New American Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Came here based on a Yelper who said this is one of her fav restaurants and made reservations on New Years because I was jonesing for a good burger. Forgot I had been here before a year ago but never yelped them because I only stopped in for a drink. I didn't know this place has a view along PCH. You don't see it until you walk in further to the dining area. There are 3 tables that are against the windows where you can get a nice view of the sunset, and PCH. We ordered burger with shoestring fries, and he ordered the salmon that comes with garlic mash and Brussel sprouts but subbed it out for broccolini. Our server didn't tell us about the specials or anything really, but the next table that came in got a gentleman who was talky and we heard about the chef, the cuisine and specials, which might have swayed my man's order if he had known, to the pork chop. Oh well. Food came out good and we enjoyed our evening. We had to ask our server about validated parking. She was nice but not very helpful as far as servers go. I like me a good clam chowder but they serve it Manhattan style here, which I am not a fan of. The peachy drink we had was really good though. Aside from the burger I ordered I don't know how I'd feel about coming back. This place is really close to Watertable inside the Sheraton and in my estimation, that was a better experience with better menu selection than what I saw here. read more

First time and will definitely come back to try other things in their menu. Don't have a reservation and I was seated right away. Does have a cute view of PCH and the ambiance is a mix of American and Spanish. Meaning then have some cute tulip latent hanging in the dining room. The bacon wrapped dates is a must as well as the chicken. read more

The Brant is one of my favorite restaurants. The service is consistently great, the views are spectacular, and when you order right, the food is delicious. Out of all my visits, there have only been a couple of items I wouldn't recommend otherwise, it's a solid spot for both lunch and dinner. My go-to favorites are the pretzel board, the half chicken with mashed potatoes (sub broccolini), the burgers, and the Spicy Tuna Tartare Tacos. All are reliable and well executed. That said, the prime rib dip was mid, the salmon was overly fishy, and the Manhattan-style clam chowder was downright awful easily the most foul-smelling and worst-tasting soup I've ever had. Overall, if you order correctly, this place is amazing. They also offer vegetarian options, which makes it an easy choice for family dinners, especially since my dad is a vegetarian. read more

I came here with a group from work and the service was quick and friendly. We ordered a handful of appetizers which were all good. Some little tuna tacos, Brussels sprouts, and smoked salmon. I ordered the halibut dish and it was great the sear was perfect, and it tasted great. The highlight was honestly the broccoli that came with it. I'm not a big broccoli lover, but this was fried or something. I dunno, but it was amazing. The views of the beach were great as well. read more

We stopped in the Saturday after Thanksgiving with zero reservations and were seated right away, holiday miracle! Valet was only $10 and the valet guy was honestly one of the nicest humans ever. The restaurant is upstairs, so once you get up there you're greeted with gorgeous ocean views. Since it was an absolutely beautiful day, we sat outside and it was perfect. The menu has a little bit of everything, but we kept it light with salads... although we had to try their $10 cinnamon roll. It's small (maybe 4-5 bites), but wow, packed with cinnamon, warm, and homemade deliciousness. Totally worth the splurge. Naturally, I had a glass of Prosecco (because vacation mode), and our waitress was friendly, quick, and super on top of things. Service overall was fast and easy. Great little spot for an oceanview lunch- casual, breezy, and tasty. Would definitely go back! read more

I was looking for the restaurant bar which I can watch the baseball game (post season LA Dodgers game) near the hotel during my husband's business dinner. I didn't care alone but I cared safe and good wine place. Using Yelp and I could find this place very close my hotel. When I got here a little busy but I found the seat at the bar counter. The game already started so I was in a rush to have seat and order. Inside the bar counter there were two bartenders and both were friendly and nice. I ordered a glass of Pinot Grigio and Crispy Brusseis. Shortly both served and I could focus the game. The bartenders asked me nicely am I okay or need something during the commercial (didn't get any bothering for watching the game). Unfortunately, the game wasn't good for me but I had a good time at the bar counter. read more

Had such a lovely experience at the Brand this past Saturday. We walked in and were seated immediately in a covered patio facing the beach. Our server was very efficient. I didn't get his name, but he was a younger white male with a mullet. The food was absolutely delicious . The buffalo wings were so crispy and tasty. I didn't expect the wings to be covered in a dry rub but it was magical. I think I will order this all for myself next time. They were finger licking good! The artichoke hearts we're good, but felt a little bland after having the buffalo wings. They were served with a really delicious aïoli. The prime rib dip was also really good. It is served with a horseradish creamy sauce and hot au jus for dipping. The serving and fries is very generous. I was able to find street parking but you can also pay for valet if you want to. read more

The Brant was a great spot! My friend and I went for lunch and had the nicest time! Beautiful views, great food and good cocktails! The asparagus fries were our favorite dish we ordered. So flavorful and crispy! I got the prime rib sandwich and my friend got the Brant burger. Both dishes were great with fries and very filling. Our server was attentive and checked on us a few times. Would absolutely go back! read more

My dad always wants to have brunch by the beach whenever I visit home, so we came here. It's located inside the Pacific City Plaza and it's pretty quiet during the brunch hours as we were able to snag a last minute reservation the day of. We also scored bonus points by sitting in the ocean view. Asparagus fries (5/5): It's not tempura, but more similar to the batter of fish and chips. I thought this was the perfect appetizer. Some healthy food although it was deep fried. The batter shield the asparagus to perfection as it provided a great crunch to the soft asparagus. Spicy Tuna tartare tacos (4/5): Comes with 2 pieces and each piece is placed on a scoop of guacamole. Although it tasted great, not worth the price finishing in one bite. Manhattan Seafood Style Chowder (3/5): do not expect this to be the chunky chowder. It tasted almost similar to a minestrone soup, but with more seafood. It was heart but nothing too special. Seared Ahi Salad (5/5): this was my first time ordering a salad in a while and I did not expect it to satisfy me. There was plenty of seared ahi and the salad was tangy and plentiful. Overall great place to eat for brunch if you want an ocean view. read more

The Brant - Butter cake - New American Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

The Brant has a great view, good service and the menu has something for everyone's tastes. You get a less (over) crowded feel here than at some of the other restaurants in Pacific City. Make sure to ask for your parking to be validated. The chowder is Manhattan style and very thin. If you want something light, this will work. The veggie burger is satisfying, but I had to eat a lot of fries with it to feel full. (Is that like getting a diet soda with a burger & fries? Oh well). read more

Came in for brunch and this place hits a really nice balance between casual and still nice enough for a weekend outing. We tried a few things and everything was genuinely good. The chicken and waffles were a standout -- the waffle was warm and lightly crisp with a soft inside, and the fried chicken had a great crunch while still being juicy. The sweet and savory worked really well together and didn't feel overly heavy. We also ordered the breakfast burrito which was packed and actually filling (not one of those mostly-tortilla situations). Good ratio of eggs, meat, and cheese, and it had a really comforting, hearty flavor. The side of tots were crispy and perfect for dipping. Drinks were also a win. The margarita was refreshing and balanced, not overly sugary, and the bottomless mimosas were kept flowing without having to chase anyone down. Service was friendly and attentive throughout and food came out at a steady pace. The whole experience felt relaxed and easy. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. Easy 4/5 -- great for brunch but honestly I could see coming back for dinner too. read more

The Brant - A great drink at the Brandt, lol. - New American Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I would add an additional half star to my rating if it was allowed. Our family met in Huntington Beach for vacation and the first night's dinner at Brant topped all other meals we shared in 5 days. Our dinner was spectacular, along with a beautiful view of the ocean and stellar service. Three of the 8 eight of us ordered the halibut dinner, which came with whipped potatoes and broccolini. My daughter asked if she could substitute the crispy brussels sprouts for the broccolini, which they agreed to do. She and I shared the potatoes, brussels sprouts and broccolini. Every single bite of our dinner was scrumptious, and it is hard to name a favorite side of the three. We were tempted to return for dinner to Brant every night we were in town, and we did not but probably should have. Please go, it will be a dinner to remember. read more

While being down in Orange County a few weeks ago, my friends and I had brunch here. All I can say is wow, the staff were all lovely towards us and very patient with our questions about the menu. A few of us did bottomless mimosa and our server made sure we were taken care of. Our food was delicious, absolutely no complaints with that and the location was perfect. We had views of the beach and there was plenty of parking that you do need to pay for but it was easy to manage. read more

Most of the places on the beach tend to be overpriced and just not good. That's why I was pleasantly surprised by the Brant. We Really enjoyed our dinner here the other night. Food was delicious, service was great, and the ocean views are beautiful. We started with the bacon wrapped dates which were excellent. For entrees I had the short ribs and my gf had the salmon. I really enjoyed my short ribs. They were tender and flavorful and the pineapple risotto was amazing. Gf liked her Salmon as well. We Liked everything we ordered. Would definitely come back if in the area read more

We had a great brunch experience during a bachelorette weekend at The Brant! Parking: there's some paid hour parking in the uncovered lot near the shopping center but also a parking garage. The Brant also validates parking. Location: The restaurant has a beautiful view of the beach across the street. Not to mention, I love the boho, sophisticated vibe of the restaurant. Service: Big shout out to our server Chase for holding it down for our group of 10+. He was quick to get us anything we needed, especially for the ladies who celebrated with bottomless mimosas. Chase made sure that they were truly bottomless and he was always around when they needed a refill. Food: Lots of options and the portions are good enough to share. My friend and I split the breakfast burrito and the breakfast sandwich. Out of those two, I probably prefer the sandwich but both were really filling. Price: Not exactly the cheapest brunch spot, but it's not the most expensive either. Plan to spend around $20 per person for food + $20+ for drinks. read more

View and decor great. Food was so meh....The chop salad so bland , mostly lettuce and the citrus dressing was not good. Husband said bacon wrapped dates were dry, pretzel board was more like Hawaiian bread. Daughter liked her veggie burger and fries. Been really wanting to try this place, always looking for new restaurants. The food was so meh at best, and pricey. Not their fault but there is Jack hammering going on in PCH rn :/ , so disruptive. prob won't be going back. read more

We loved The Brant.... The ambience and the views were great. We started with the Brussel Sprout Appetizer, they were crispy and delicious and had chunks of bacon in them. My husband had the Brant Old Fashioned and I had the Paloma Martini, both of which we enjoyed. We both got the same entree and were impressed. We had the grilled boneless short ribs with grilled asparagus and pineapple risotto. The pineapple risotto was amazing, it had chunks of pineapple and cheese was melted into it and we both enjoyed it very much. The short rib was in a ginger marinade and it was delicious as well. We will definitely be making another visit to The Brant again in the future. read more

Excellent food and service! Love coming here with my family because they accommodate large groups. Not to mention the beautiful ocean view.

The good: our server was great and the view was spectacular. The restaurant decor was very classy The bad: i ordered a Caesar salad and my wife ordered a chop salad for lunch. Both salads were Meh. The Caesar was very dry, did not have enough dressing. The Panchetta was also dry and hard. Her chop salad was also lacking in dressing. Later, she said the bacon tasted like yesterday's bacon. It was her birthday and we were going to order dessert, but the salads were so bad. We changed our minds. Like I said, the decor and ambiance was great, that's why I rated average. The view of the ocean was great, the rv park between the restaurant and the ocean, not so much. But that's not a gig against Brant. Lastly, mife loved her iced tea. read more

Beautiful restaurant on the second floor at Pacific City. There was an event of some kind, but we were able to be seated on the covered, heated patio with an ocean view. Everyone from the hostess to our server were very kind and attentive. The food was just ok, although we didn't order a ton. We got: bacon wrapped dates, ahi won ton tacos, and pretzel bites. The bacon wrapped dates were tiny- not the big juicy kind you sometimes see. They were served on wilted arugula and sad pickles that appeared housemade (under seasoned). The ahi tacos were better- seasoned nicely and served with generous dollops of avocado. The won tons shells tasted a little soft, like they'd been sitting for a while. The pretzel bites were soft and warm and had a butteriness to them, they were also the most generous portion on the table. They came with whole grain mustard, what looked like an onion jam but had very little flavor, and a whipped butter that was also really bland. Overall, I'd recommend for a drink at the bar and I'd venture to try the burger or French dip. A couple next to us ordered both, and they looked happy. read more
