In Short
Booths offset by lace curtains create instant privacy and complete the burgundy-and-pink decor familiar to a suburban living room of yesteryear. The welcoming owner and live guitar music set the stage for mature crowds wooing business clients or celebrating longtime anniversaries, but the restaurant's reputation also attracts younger foodies. A chalkboard serves as the daily menu, which is dominated by seafood specialties and classic dishes like filet of beef, rack of lamb, soups de jour and tableside salads.

I am going to be 100% honest about this place. I use to live in Woodland Hills and my then-wife and I would go here periodically. It was always excellent. However, it is a tiny place, and is not fancy in decor. I would not take someone there if it was a celebration because it doesn't look "special" or "fancy." I would probably stick with Ruth's Chris or Morton's if I wanted to impress someone with the decor. Decor aside, the place has very good food. It is super-tiny and only seats a handful. It's a wonder how they can profit with so few tables. The caesar salad is made tableside, and is always excellent. I have had the pepper steak many times (new york la poivre, I think it's called) and it was always great. If you want a great meal you go here. But you will pay $100 or so for 2 people (with salad and drinks). And it won't be too fancy, but it will taste great.

Brandywine, has been rated as 1 of the 10 best restaurants in the US. Very small non descript building on Ventura Blvd in Woodland Hills. French Cuisine, only 7 or 8 tables max in the restaurant, so you need to make reservations at least 2 to 3 months in advance! This is a very special restaurant, the chef is the owner, the wife is the maitre'd....the wine list is to die for. Be prepared to get off your wallet for this one!!!

One word...fantastic! This is quite possibly the best restaurant I've ever been to. Not only is the food wonderful, the staff, the owners and the chef are top notch. It far surpasses all the"celebrity" restaurants we've dined at. If you want the best food, quiet ambiance and wonderful service please make a reservation today. Weekends seem to be booked solid so we like to call a few weeks in advance. Request a private booth. We go about three times a month and have never been dissatisfied. Truley a jem in the valley. Oh and don't forget dessert. Again, FANTASTIC!!
