f.a.q.

 

Q: Do I need reservations at Brandywine?

A: Reservations are Strongly Encouraged– especially for popular dining times. We will seat walk-ins when we can, and our 8-seat bar is first come/first serve, but all of our tables are made available to reserve online so we highly recommend securing a table ahead of time.

Q: Where can I make Reservations?

A: Right Here! >>> Brandywine Reservations

Q: How far in advance can I make a reservation?

A: Generally speaking, we open our reservation calendar one month at a time, and often the new dates become available at the beginning of the month. March calendar dates will open at the beginning of February, April calendar dates will open at the beginning of March and so on. **We do try to open November and December together at the beginning of October so our guests can begin their holiday planning.

Q: Can Brandywine accommodate large group reservations?

A: Our guests can book any size party up to 10 people through our website for any of our open calendar dates! Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate groups larger than 10 at this time.

Q: I see booking options for Main Dining, Lounge Dining & High Top Dining. What’s the difference?

A: This is an option for our guests to let us know which area of the restaurant they prefer to sit. Rest assured, we offer the same menu and dining experience everywhere within the restaurant. In Summer, we will add our “Outdoor Patio” as an option to book as well

Q: My confirmation email mentioned a time limit for our reservation. What’s the story there?

A: When it comes to reservations, we want what everyone wants. We want your table to be ready at the time of your reservation. In order to do that for you (and for everyone) each night, we do plan for a standard dining time of
1 hour 30 minutes for parties of 2
1 hour 45 minutes for parties of 3-4
2 hours for parties of 5-6                                                                                                2 hours 15 minutes for parties of 7+                                                                          This timing is generally more than ample for our dinner service when we are able to begin service promptly but for those looking to ensure a longer or more leisurely experience, we recommend booking after 7:30pm.

Q: Do you have a kids menu at Brandywine

A: Yes, we have multiple items to choose from for our 10 and under guests!

Q: Can Brandywine accommodate my food allergy or dietary restrictions?

A: We do our best to accommodate mild allergies but our kitchen regularly handles major allergens including nuts, dairy, gluten, shellfish, soy, etc. We also cannot ensure that all items have been handled in an allergen-free environment from our purveyors and distributors. For that reason, we are not able to accommodate guests where cross-contact can trigger a reaction.

Q: How often does the menu change at Brandywine?

A: We roll with what the seasons give us so changes come in small doses rather than big waves. Some dishes may get subtle, seasonal updates and stay on for months at a time, while others are here and gone within 1-3 weeks before we move onto something completely different. Things are always on the move though and we aim to help you find a new favorite every time!
