and I think you are a dimwitted jack a** -- so I now that we have that cleared up -- let's have a real discussion

Nice picture of Dolce Vita --- it is an AWESOME restaurant.  

Dolce Vita is a great place for a quiet dinner for two -- a medium sized family gathering --- or a large party.  I highly recommend it.

Quoted from DemocraticVoiceOfReason

  One goes to Petta's, Dolce Vita and Mallozzi's because of the EXPERIENCE of dining in a sophisticated atmosphere and enjoying the company of great people

you are a f.ckin idiot

sophisticated...he raises his pinkie when he drinks his glass of milk...and he wears a tie...have you seen the pictures

One of the best dishes at the old Brandon's -- one not seen to often on restaurant menus anymore  -- is the Coquilles St. Jacques.   Although I steer clear of the high-fat dishes ...  this is a dish which could be shared and enjoyed with one or more guests.

Brandon's also had several veal dishes that were quite good -- I can't remember the names.

Quoted from Patches

All these relocations sound like a band of gypsies...

I will stick with business that stays in  one place and privately owned...like Ferrarri's, Marino's....

They open, close, like water from a faucet.....they have business for awhile and then....why???  because either the quality of food

quality goes  down and portions go less///then money problems....close reopen somewhere else....

Maybe they should all get together and open just ONE partnership, compromise, stay honest....and see what happens...

it's called LAUNDRY

I don't know if and when it will open....have no desire to go there....

went a while  ago with the previous owner...not who Brandon's bought out...

too hard to get in and out of....that area is really not meant for a resturant...

Brandon's was in business for quite a few years.   They were first located on Upper State Street near where Consaul Rd comes in.   That location was nice but small.  When the opportunity arose, Mr. Williams moved to the larger venue on Van Vranken Avenue.  At this location, he did extremely well and then a couple of years ago seemed to want to retire or take some time off from running a business.   That is when Brandon's closed.

Chef Williams always served the best food and was always very good to my family.  That is why we ate there quite regularly and held a few family celebrations there.  I certainly understand if he wanted to take a break from running a business -- it is a lot of work being an entrepreneur.  But if the rumors are true and he is back -- I am quite happy.

OK...WE GET THE DRIFT....NOW MOVE ON.

Lisa ..........  Your Gin-soaked mind is interfering with your ability to reason  --- I suggest you dry out -- then come back after the New Year..

GO PI$$ UP A ROPE.....SURE YOU WON'T HAVE ANY TROUBLE DOING THAT....THEN TAKE THE ROPE AND LASSO YOURSELF

Was at the laundry-mat tonight and Brandons was really packed.

We've been to brandon's several times and never walked away disappointed.
