Brando's was founded on the premise of great food made from quality ingredients, excellent service, and a warm atmosphere which we believe are the three elements of any enjoyable dining experience.The chef/owner, Steven Botta, grew up in Brooklyn and learned many of recipes used at Brando's from his mother. Raised in this welcoming tradition, he believes when you enter Brando's, whether its your first time or your one hundredth time, you should always feel like they are dining with family.Soulful Italian is the best way to describe our menu. Our culinary team has been trained at the finest culinary schools, and has over fifty years of combined experience. From our fresh pasta, to our line-caught fish, to our thirty-five day dry-aged steaks, the difference is discernible

• Gastro Pub • Asbury Park

Welcome to The Black Swan. Inspired by the pubs I fell in love with on my various travels, this re-interpretation of the neighborhood Public House represents an eclectic and updated take on the traditional pub. The Black Swan explores, embraces and combines various cultural influences to appeal to different tastes, offering unique and innovative dishes like Indian-inspired curries and pastas alongside more classic dishes like Shepherd’s Pie and Fish and Chips. I purposefully divided the restaurant into four distinct areas in order to offer something for everyone and I encourage all our neighbors to stop in at any hour, day or night. So come raise a glass with me at The Black Swan Public House, where everyone is Welcome. - Chef James

    We love going there every Monday for the ocean Avenue stompers and the bartenders are very fun and welcoming and attentive! We always feel welcome at our bar and also love the food! We have had everything from the Cacio Pepe deviled eggs to the shrimp Poboy, pulled pork sandwich, French dip, gumbo, chicken, hand, pies, burger, garlic, shrimp, and the wings and wedge! We even tried the pimento spread one time and loved it too. We look forward to it every week! Matt and Maggie and Kelli are the best. It is always fun to see Casey sing and play with the band! Another highlight is when Al is invited up to the stage. thank you for a great place and a great vibe on a Monday night
