    I had such a fun and memorable Friday night at The Brandy! The food was phenomenal. We ordered a variety of dishes and every single one was bursting with flavor. The live entertainment (music + dancing) created such a lively and vibrant atmosphere. The service was fantastic, super welcoming and attentive. It's the kind of place where you come for dinner and end up staying for the whole experience. Highly recommend for a unique Mediterranean night out in Glendale!

    I had such a great experience at The Brandy in Glendale! The atmosphere is perfect for a fun night out. The food was just as impressive as the vibe. The fried Brussels sprouts were my absolute favorite crispy, flavorful, and addicting. The Lule kabob was so juicy and well-seasoned, and the Caesar salad was rich, cheesy, and delicious. If you're looking for good food, great entertainment, and a lively atmosphere, this is definitely the spot to check out! I had such a great experience at The Brandy in Glendale!

    Cucumber salad, olives & grilled feta, chicken Hummus

    Woke up thinking about how good the food was. Never gone to a hookah bar expecting much from their menu but they have a great selection that's not just your typical bar food. Our server was so sweet and answered all our questions and recommending for us coming back on a Friday or Saturday when they have entertainment. The olives come with grilled feta and honeycombs in a side bowl was definitely a favorite at the table. Already planning on when we can all come back.

    Vibe around 9 pm on Friday

    Great party lounge atmosphere and amazing DJ plays American Arabic Armenian goodies. It has a low profile from the street side and security and hostess reservation specialist. Food is delicious menu is incredibly satisfying the salmon appetizer is fantastic! The ribeye steak is yummy I recommend you request easy smoking. The lamb chops are amazing each entrée is good for sharing. Wide alcoholic drinking selections. Many positives. They bring a saxophone player, a belly dsncer, and the DJ is cool and great. Managers are smart n cool. Only catch for party of 9 And more minimum charge $85/person.

    Mushroom shawarma so salty
    Val A.

    Love this new spot in Glendale. We were group of 8, we ordered bunch of appetizers and everything was so good and delicious for the main dish I ordered mushroom shawarma and seafood pasta, both dishes were extremely salty, which I wasn't able to eat. The service was amazing and it was pretty fast. The ambience was great for a group night out, the performers did an amazing job. The only thing that wasn't impressive was the indoor smoking hookah. Despite the strong ventilation in the restaurant, I could still smell the smoke.

    If you want good quality food and hookah you cant go wrong with The Brandy. As always they serve the best drinks, tasty food and high quality hookah.

    My friend and I stumbled upon The Brandy. To my surprise, it was also a hookah bar. The vibe was pleasant with efficient service. The shawarma tacos were delicious, but why just 3? Ridiculous! C'mon there's two of us! I had the raspberry daiquiri which was so delicate and refreshing! The strategically placed lemon peel tickled my sense of smell. We also ordered shrimp ceviche. Unfortunately, that was a disappointment. The shrimp did not taste fresh and was warm. I expect ceviche to be cold and refreshing. I wasn't happy with that dish. Overall, I think this is a spot to hookah, as they have many options to choose from I can't really pass judgment on the food, but I'd still go back

    Pasta and side chicken and shish

    Where do I start ? Amazing staff , Amazing food and also amazing food , literally they are well put and always there when you need something , prices are solid , quality is above everything else , well worth the price , I would definitely recommend putting reservations on the weekends so you can sit in for the amazing shows they provide. Brandys doing it the right way!

    The Brandy had great service and food! We went during Greek night and Stella the belly dancer was nothing less than amazing. The live band and signing was very entertaining. Although it is advertised as a hookah lounge it feels very high class.

    Fried Brussels Sprouts

    A Mediterranean restaurant and elevated hookah lounge in one. I enjoyed the sophisticated approach and modern dishes. We came within 30 minutes of opening and there was no wait. I enjoyed the patio seating more, but indoor is lively with a DJ. It does get busier in the night. For two, we ordered the mushroom shawarma ($17), fried brussels sprouts ($16), seafood ceviche ($22), and wagyu sliders ($19). These appetizers were great for sharing. My favorite was the mushroom shawarma and brussels sprouts. For cocktails, we got the brandy ($21) and midnight kiss ($19). For hookah, we tried one of their house blends called white knight ($38). The flavor was white gummy, peach, and lemon mint. The customer service was outstanding! Our waitress was very attentive, gave us recommendations, and came by multiple times to check up on us. The food also came out fast and right after another. We really enjoyed our dining experience as well as the hookah.

    Came through Eden on Brand and went with the trifecta: ribeye, crème brûlée, and a crafted cocktail…read moreand honestly, that's the way to experience this place. Starting with the ribeye: it landed on the table with a solid sear and that melting herb butter slowly pooling into the meat, which is always a good sign. Cooked to a true medium, it held onto its juices and had that balance of charred exterior and tender interior you want. Flavor-wise, it didn't need much seasoning was on point, and the butter just added that extra richness without taking over. It's not trying to compete with a high-end steakhouse, but for what Eden is a vibe-forward, social dining spot it absolutely delivers. Dessert kept the momentum going. The crème brûlée had that satisfying, audible crack when you tap into it, with a nicely torched sugar layer that wasn't burnt or bitter. Underneath, the custard was smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet, which made it easy to finish even after a full meal. It's a classic done right, and a strong closer if you're lingering at the table. The crafted cocktail lineup deserves a mention too. This isn't a place where drinks feel like an afterthought. Presentation is clean, flavors are balanced, and you can tell there's some intention behind the mix. Whether you're starting the night or transitioning into more of a lounge vibe, the drinks fit seamlessly into the overall experience. Speaking of vibe that's really Eden on Brand's main draw. The space leans into a dim, upscale lounge atmosphere with music that sets the tone without completely overpowering conversation. It feels like a hybrid between a dinner spot and a nightlife destination, making it ideal for date nights, birthdays, or just a night out where you don't want to bounce between multiple places. Service, like a lot of spots in this category, can vary. On a good night, staff are attentive and keep things moving at a nice pace. On a busier evening, there can be some lag. It's not a dealbreaker, but it's noticeable enough to mention just come with a little patience if the place is packed. Overall, Eden on Brand isn't about precision fine dining it's about the full experience. You're here for the ambiance, the energy, and a menu that hits enough high notes to keep you satisfied. Order smart (ribeye is a win), save room for dessert, and don't skip the cocktails.

    Came with a large work group last night. We had a reservation so shouldn't have been a surprise…read more Only one other table had guests, but somehow they still seemed woefully understaffed. Not only that, they were either out of or didn't have enough of so many things. No shishito peppers, ran out of filet mignon after a handful of orders, out of the sake we ordered, only one bottle of the wine we ordered was available...it was almost comical. In addition, service was abysmally slow & forgetful, food came out cold, and wasn't that great/cooked correctly either. My "rare" filet mignon was medium at best. The "rib chop" my coworkers got was flaaat as hell and overcooked with inconsistent presentation/preparation. Can't send my overcooked filet back of course because it's the last one. Crème brûlée was actually soup in the middle. Bread pudding was dense and unpleasant. Potatoes were cold. Given our group dropped almost three grand, it was pretty damn lackluster. It's too bad because it's in a great location and has nice ambiance, but that doesn't make up for everything else. Brownie sundae was the lone highlight.

    Last Saturday afternoon, a friend and I decided to try a new spot. We weren't very hungry--we had…read moredinner plans later--so we just wanted something light. Atrium is located off Orange, a street that doesn't have much going on, but the good news is there's a huge public parking structure just south of the restaurant with plenty of metered spaces. The restaurant itself has a casual outdoor seating area that fits around 20-30 people, and a much larger indoor space. Inside is absolutely gorgeous--seriously, out‑of‑this‑world décor. Outside is more relaxed, and since the weather was nice and the indoor area was nearly empty, we asked to sit outdoors. Service was perfect. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and didn't make us feel awkward for ordering just two small dishes. My friend ordered the Greek salad, and I went with the tuna tartare. Everything was incredibly fresh and served ice‑cold (as salads should be--I can't stand warm salads). The flavors were balanced and delicious, and the presentation was stunning. I almost didn't want to eat my tuna tartare because it looked like a piece of art. There must be a master chef in the kitchen who really knows what they're doing. Now, the price... definitely on the high side, borderline crazy. We paid $64 for two starters. Imagine if we had ordered entrées, shared a dessert, added a drink each, and maybe some coffee--the bill could easily climb to $300. Will I come back? Maybe, but probably only for a special occasion. My Rating Breakdown: Location: B Venue / Décor: A Menu / Selection: B Service: A Food Quality & Temperature: A Value: C‑ Overall: B+ But I'll bump them up to an A‑ and give them 5 stars because the food and service really were exceptional.

I then had the atrium chicken salad which was surprisingly good! Very gingery which I loved. We will be back!

Echoing what everyone else has been saying - the service is SO slow. It was about 45 minutes before we were able to order our second drink and our water glasses were empty. They have so many runners bringing the drinks out but only a few servers and, from the looks of it, one bartender (on a Saturday night - what?!). The server was saying he was trying to find a manager to help out but they were nowhere to be found. Clearly management is fine with these service times since they're still making $$$. The drinks were delicious, and I loved that there were heaters on the patio (though they did get very hot at times). Our server was so kind and brought us a celebratory drink. I do wish there were more explanations with the beverages, especially for the Paid Vacation as most people will not realize you're supposed to bite into the buzz button for the tingly sensation. I would come back, but need some time for my wallet to recover first, haha!
