Where to Drink Margaritas in Orange County for MargaritaCon | Eater

"Balance is key when it comes to good cocktails, and it should be no surprise that this Huntington Beach restaurant with a strong bar program would create a margarita with ingredients that live in harmony. The cucumber-jalapeño margarita is a little spicy and a little cool thanks to its titular ingredients, plus a little sweet and a little sour thanks to a jalapeño-infused sweet-and-sour mix. If the gorgeous view of the coastline isn’t bringing enough peace, let the margarita help." - Robert Spuhler

We were in Huntington Beach for my wife’s birthday and decided to have dinner at The Brant. The ambiance and food were great! We shared a Caesar salad and the Prime Rib Dip (we’re not big eaters… usually). Both were great choices. Staff was super friendly and attentive. The bonus was we had a table with a fantastic view. I would recommend whenever your searching for a nice comfortable and pleasant place for dining.

Located on the 2nd floor above the food court area of Pacific City, The Brant Kitchen and Bar is well reviewed. This beachfront restaurant overlooks the beach, pier, and sunset with full view of what Huntington beach has to offer. We ordered and shared chicken wings, clams, and ribeye steak along with drinks & cocktails. The service was remarkable from entrance to exit. While all the staff greeted us during seating, our server Adria was fantastic whilst being efficient. Notable favorite item was the 16oz Ribeye with mash and crispy broccolini.

Absolutely, beautiful restaurant and oceanfront views! All of the food is plated beautifully, and has the right amount of flavors for any palette. We have a beautiful dinner here every time we visit Huntington Beach.

Modern gem tucked away in Pacific City mall with some of the best ocean views in OC. Lots of variety on the menu and one of the best burgers I’ve had. The staff were very attentive. Highly recommend!

Initially we were seated in a very loud and crowded room. Our server was so understanding of our request to move and promptly got us seated in a much quieter section of the restaurant. The views were unreal and the vibe of the restaurant was laid back, well put together, inviting and comfortable. The food was good enough. Not memorable but good enough and the pricing matched that. The order consisted of 2 mocktails, an appetizer and 2 main dishes and came out to $97 including the tip. If you’re looking for a place to catch up with a friend, eat with a colleague or grab a drink this place is great!

Brandt Restaurant and Bar offers a stunning Huntington Beach view that instantly elevates your dining experience, and the culinary performance matches the scenery—absolutely amazing. I treated myself to the steak, and it was cooked to perfection with a rich, juicy profile that showcased thoughtful seasoning and quality ingredients. The atmosphere is polished yet relaxed, making it ideal for a special night out or a luxe beachside bite. Highly recommend soaking in the vista while savoring every bite.

Great place to grab a bite. The food was delicious. The service was quick at the bar and the atmosphere was cozy. Great place for a date night.. and if you get your receipt validated, you can get a discount at the parking

I surprised my mother with an early birthday brunch. The atmosphere was beautiful with an ocean view. 😍 The people were so friendly and kind. Our server Chase and the manager Drew were the best! They made my mom's day even better, with their wonderful personalities. I ordered the crispy chicken wings and fries, and the seasoning they used was delicious. My mother ordered the breakfast burrito with tater tots, and the portion size was very filling and enough to save for later. Overall, it was such a great experience, and I will be back if in the area again.

The Brant was a great spot! My friend and I went for lunch and had the nicest time! Beautiful views, great food and good cocktails! The asparagus fries were our favorite dish we ordered. So flavorful and crispy! I got the prime rib sandwich and my friend got the Brant burger. Both dishes were great with fries and very filling. Our server was attentive and checked on us a few times. Would absolutely go back!

First time and will definitely come back to try other things in their menu. Don't have a reservation and I was seated right away. Does have a cute view of PCH and the ambiance is a mix of American and Spanish. Meaning then have some cute tulip latent hanging in the dining room. The bacon wrapped dates is a must as well as the chicken.

The good: our server was great and the view was spectacular. The restaurant decor was very classy The bad: i ordered a Caesar salad and my wife ordered a chop salad for lunch. Both salads were Meh. The Caesar was very dry, did not have enough dressing. The Panchetta was also dry and hard. Her chop salad was also lacking in dressing. Later, she said the bacon tasted like yesterday's bacon. It was her birthday and we were going to order dessert, but the salads were so bad. We changed our minds. Like I said, the decor and ambiance was great, that's why I rated average. The view of the ocean was great, the rv park between the restaurant and the ocean, not so much. But that's not a gig against Brant. Lastly, mife loved her iced tea.

Came here based on a Yelper who said this is one of her fav restaurants and made reservations on New Years because I was jonesing for a good burger. Forgot I had been here before a year ago but never yelped them because I only stopped in for a drink. I didn't know this place has a view along PCH. You don't see it until you walk in further to the dining area. There are 3 tables that are against the windows where you can get a nice view of the sunset, and PCH. We ordered burger with shoestring fries, and he ordered the salmon that comes with garlic mash and Brussel sprouts but subbed it out for broccolini. Our server didn't tell us about the specials or anything really, but the next table that came in got a gentleman who was talky and we heard about the chef, the cuisine and specials, which might have swayed my man's order if he had known, to the pork chop. Oh well. Food came out good and we enjoyed our evening. We had to ask our server about validated parking. She was nice but not very helpful as far as servers go. I like me a good clam chowder but they serve it Manhattan style here, which I am not a fan of. The peachy drink we had was really good though. Aside from the burger I ordered I don't know how I'd feel about coming back. This place is really close to Watertable inside the Sheraton and in my estimation, that was a better experience with better menu selection than what I saw here.

We stopped in the Saturday after Thanksgiving with zero reservations and were seated right away, holiday miracle! Valet was only $10 and the valet guy was honestly one of the nicest humans ever. The restaurant is upstairs, so once you get up there you're greeted with gorgeous ocean views. Since it was an absolutely beautiful day, we sat outside and it was perfect. The menu has a little bit of everything, but we kept it light with salads... although we had to try their $10 cinnamon roll. It's small (maybe 4-5 bites), but wow, packed with cinnamon, warm, and homemade deliciousness. Totally worth the splurge. Naturally, I had a glass of Prosecco (because vacation mode), and our waitress was friendly, quick, and super on top of things. Service overall was fast and easy. Great little spot for an oceanview lunch- casual, breezy, and tasty. Would definitely go back!

The Brant is one of my favorite restaurants. The service is consistently great, the views are spectacular, and when you order right, the food is delicious. Out of all my visits, there have only been a couple of items I wouldn't recommend otherwise, it's a solid spot for both lunch and dinner. My go-to favorites are the pretzel board, the half chicken with mashed potatoes (sub broccolini), the burgers, and the Spicy Tuna Tartare Tacos. All are reliable and well executed. That said, the prime rib dip was mid, the salmon was overly fishy, and the Manhattan-style clam chowder was downright awful easily the most foul-smelling and worst-tasting soup I've ever had. Overall, if you order correctly, this place is amazing. They also offer vegetarian options, which makes it an easy choice for family dinners, especially since my dad is a vegetarian.

I was looking for the restaurant bar which I can watch the baseball game (post season LA Dodgers game) near the hotel during my husband's business dinner. I didn't care alone but I cared safe and good wine place. Using Yelp and I could find this place very close my hotel. When I got here a little busy but I found the seat at the bar counter. The game already started so I was in a rush to have seat and order. Inside the bar counter there were two bartenders and both were friendly and nice. I ordered a glass of Pinot Grigio and Crispy Brusseis. Shortly both served and I could focus the game. The bartenders asked me nicely am I okay or need something during the commercial (didn't get any bothering for watching the game). Unfortunately, the game wasn't good for me but I had a good time at the bar counter.

Had such a lovely experience at the Brand this past Saturday. We walked in and were seated immediately in a covered patio facing the beach. Our server was very efficient. I didn't get his name, but he was a younger white male with a mullet. The food was absolutely delicious . The buffalo wings were so crispy and tasty. I didn't expect the wings to be covered in a dry rub but it was magical. I think I will order this all for myself next time. They were finger licking good! The artichoke hearts we're good, but felt a little bland after having the buffalo wings. They were served with a really delicious aïoli. The prime rib dip was also really good. It is served with a horseradish creamy sauce and hot au jus for dipping. The serving and fries is very generous. I was able to find street parking but you can also pay for valet if you want to.

My dad always wants to have brunch by the beach whenever I visit home, so we came here. It's located inside the Pacific City Plaza and it's pretty quiet during the brunch hours as we were able to snag a last minute reservation the day of. We also scored bonus points by sitting in the ocean view. Asparagus fries (5/5): It's not tempura, but more similar to the batter of fish and chips. I thought this was the perfect appetizer. Some healthy food although it was deep fried. The batter shield the asparagus to perfection as it provided a great crunch to the soft asparagus. Spicy Tuna tartare tacos (4/5): Comes with 2 pieces and each piece is placed on a scoop of guacamole. Although it tasted great, not worth the price finishing in one bite. Manhattan Seafood Style Chowder (3/5): do not expect this to be the chunky chowder. It tasted almost similar to a minestrone soup, but with more seafood. It was heart but nothing too special. Seared Ahi Salad (5/5): this was my first time ordering a salad in a while and I did not expect it to satisfy me. There was plenty of seared ahi and the salad was tangy and plentiful. Overall great place to eat for brunch if you want an ocean view.

The Brant has a great view, good service and the menu has something for everyone's tastes. You get a less (over) crowded feel here than at some of the other restaurants in Pacific City. Make sure to ask for your parking to be validated. The chowder is Manhattan style and very thin. If you want something light, this will work. The veggie burger is satisfying, but I had to eat a lot of fries with it to feel full. (Is that like getting a diet soda with a burger & fries? Oh well).

Great location. Great ocean views. Great relaxed environment. Great food! Salmon with mashed potatoes was perfectly cooked. My friend had the halibut with lemon caper sauce, which was good as well. Loved the raspberry and beet salad with feta.

We walked in and were greeted very nicely by the hostess who gave us the choice to sit indoor or in the patio area. We sat indoor but still had a ocean view. We started with crispy chicken wings. Wow! My son loves wings and tries them every place we go. He said these are the best wings he's ever had. He always drowns them in ranch and these wings, he said didn't need ranch they were that good with the buffalo sauce alone. I had the prime rib dip beef sandwich with fries. Delicious, meat was tender the bread was soft even the shoestring fries were seasoned perfectly. My son had the Kobe beef burger medium rare and requested a double which the waitress was happy to accommodate. He was so happy when it was brought out the brioche bun was perfect and he said the flavors coming from the burger which was cooked exactly how he wanted were amazing. My daughter had their chicken and waffle and was so excited to see they were so generous with the size of chicken and the amount of bacon on it. Our waitress was very attentive always willing to give a mimosa refill. It wasn't really crowded which was nice considering it was a Saturday afternoon and we had beautiful weather. The manager came around and helped serve, he was very friendly and willing to help. It looked very nice, the decor was very relaxing, clean with a hint of elegance. It's kinda like a place where casual wear is ok in the afternoon but I think I would dress a little nicer if going for dinner though I don't think it's required it's just my personal preference with the vibe I got there. When we finished we stopped at the bar on the way out to catch part of the football game. The cranberry Aperol spritz was so deliciously fresh. All of us enjoyed our drinks from my drink to my son's old fashioned to my daughter's perfect espresso martini. First time here definitely not our last! I highly recommend this restaurant

Most of the places on the beach tend to be overpriced and just not good. That's why I was pleasantly surprised by the Brant. We Really enjoyed our dinner here the other night. Food was delicious, service was great, and the ocean views are beautiful. We started with the bacon wrapped dates which were excellent. For entrees I had the short ribs and my gf had the salmon. I really enjoyed my short ribs. They were tender and flavorful and the pineapple risotto was amazing. Gf liked her Salmon as well. We Liked everything we ordered. Would definitely come back if in the area

While being down in Orange County a few weeks ago, my friends and I had brunch here. All I can say is wow, the staff were all lovely towards us and very patient with our questions about the menu. A few of us did bottomless mimosa and our server made sure we were taken care of. Our food was delicious, absolutely no complaints with that and the location was perfect. We had views of the beach and there was plenty of parking that you do need to pay for but it was easy to manage.

We had a great brunch experience during a bachelorette weekend at The Brant! Parking: there's some paid hour parking in the uncovered lot near the shopping center but also a parking garage. The Brant also validates parking. Location: The restaurant has a beautiful view of the beach across the street. Not to mention, I love the boho, sophisticated vibe of the restaurant. Service: Big shout out to our server Chase for holding it down for our group of 10+. He was quick to get us anything we needed, especially for the ladies who celebrated with bottomless mimosas. Chase made sure that they were truly bottomless and he was always around when they needed a refill. Food: Lots of options and the portions are good enough to share. My friend and I split the breakfast burrito and the breakfast sandwich. Out of those two, I probably prefer the sandwich but both were really filling. Price: Not exactly the cheapest brunch spot, but it's not the most expensive either. Plan to spend around $20 per person for food + $20+ for drinks.

Came for a friend's birthday I can see the pretty vibes people love. The food was alright, Drinks were hefty which was nice. Our service was okay.

A great view with some tasty food for a birthday dinner. The pastrami flatbread for our appetizer was delicious along with the grilled Brussel sprouts. The Grilled Salmon was tasty, the Prime Rib Dip was delicious, Brant burgers were a hit along with the Chopped Caesar. Delicious fries with all the burgers and sandwiches. Nick was pleasant, always serving us with a smile and gave us sound advice on the pastrami flatbread. All in all, it was a good and satisfying meal.

We loved The Brant.... The ambience and the views were great. We started with the Brussel Sprout Appetizer, they were crispy and delicious and had chunks of bacon in them. My husband had the Brant Old Fashioned and I had the Paloma Martini, both of which we enjoyed. We both got the same entree and were impressed. We had the grilled boneless short ribs with grilled asparagus and pineapple risotto. The pineapple risotto was amazing, it had chunks of pineapple and cheese was melted into it and we both enjoyed it very much. The short rib was in a ginger marinade and it was delicious as well. We will definitely be making another visit to The Brant again in the future.

Wonderful ocean view and nice ambience with friendly staff, but the food was just okay. Four of us went there for an early dinner on Saturday. Unfortunately, none of the dishes were particularly impressive. The fish tacos were extremely salty, and the brussels sprouts were burnt, dry, and overly seasoned. Overall, it was a bit of a disappointing dining experience despite the great view and service.

My family and I had such a great experience here. Visiting from Ventura, we were very impressed and pleased with everything from the decor, service, and even the restrooms haha. We ordered bacon-wrapped dates, filet mignon, prime rib sandwich, and the fried chicken sandwich, along a few different cocktails and beers. The hostess was a little lukewarm but our server Karen was so attentive and friendly. My steak arrived a little more medium than rare (I ordered medium rare), and she and the manager, his name escapes me, sorry, came to our table immediately and promptly apologized and replaced my steak. We would have ordered dessert if we hadn't been stuffed to the gills! I would recommend this establishment to anyone visiting, or even living in the area. 10/10, 5-stars!

I remembered back in the 70's driving me and my skate buddies in my Chevy Vega to Huntington Beach to spend the day. Way different than driving the Tesla to the beach with the grand kids. I can't even remember what we would eat back then but I can assure you it was nothing like The Brant. There are lots of places to eat at Pacific City and my wife and I have tried them all. Nothing fancy or bougie about the menu at the Brant. Mostly American comfort food Salads, Burgers, Sandwiches and a Bar. As usual my wife went for the Salad. Not your ordinary Salad this was a Smoked Ahi salad which I know she enjoyed since I only got one forkful. I had the Fried Chicken Sandwich that was awesome. Big old slab of chicken breast Brioche Bun and Cheddar. Just perfect. The grandkids had wings. Just a note the French fries are fantastic. I don't know what magic they use in the kitchen to conjure up these fries but everyone in the family loved these fries. The service was great. Manuela our server was extra attentive even though she had her hands full with a Labor Day crowd. 1975 Tony would probably consider 2025 Tony a sell out snob but time changes everything. BTW 2025 Tony would tell 1975 Tony to get a haircut. Come by the Brant enjoy some great food. Order something from the bar and enjoy your view of PCH and the Pacific. You've come a long way. Enjoy Definitely Recommended.

Absolutely fantastic meal. Arrived just after noon and was promptly seated. Triple appetizers to start, you HAVE to try the pretzel board, tuna tartar tacos and artichokes. Entrees arrive fresh not long after. The stuffed French toast is great if you are looking for a sweet treat. Solid cocktails and mock tails surpassed only by the view of the water. Would recommend this place for a fancier brunch or a nice date spot. Looking forward to our next visit for sure!

We love The Brant! Top favs are the pretzel board, the burger, and the salmon. We usually get the clams as well but this time we had to send them back as they were super bitter...the manager mentioned they had too much wine and was very apologetic. The salmon was out of this world with the best lemon butter sauce I've ever tasted. Will continue to come back!

We came to drink, eat apps, and watch the air show. There was a young hostess who gave us exactly the seat we wanted without asking for it. When we walked in I asked if they had outdoor seating and she led us to a perfect spot. And everyone greeted us and was super friendly as we walked to our seat. Behind us was a large group of women who our server was serving them and us. It was clear we were not a priority over a far larger group and therefore tip. We waited long to order, to reorder drinks, and even longer for the check. We ended up getting up and leaving to pay upfront.

2nd time here. Got my location back and stopped on my way to the airport! Yay! Got the espresso martini again. It was the usual, but paired with my prime rib dip it really hit the spot after reviewing 192 pages (normal per day is 60)! I deserved this treat. The place was crowded, so I sat at the bar. For a Friday night and Valentine's Day what do you expect. Date night abounded. Friendly peeps as always.

Showed up here at 4:15 for an anniversary dinner so we could catch the sunset. They sat us next to the huge window which overlooks HB. Stunning view, but the best part about our visit was the service. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like VIP. The gentleman who was our server was beyond exceptional. I believe even the general manager came to our table to check on us. Food was terrific, and the ambiance of this establishment was great. We will definitely be back. Keep up the amazing work !!!

Wow, what a lovely experience here at the Brant. It was my first time trying this place. If you're not from here, there's a map! I thought it was on the first floor so I walked around a bit before finding it lol. It is located on the second floor. I came in at 10am and was seated right away. Overall, this place checks the boxes for food and ambiance! The steak and eggs were perfectly done. The eggs benedict and breakfast sandwich were flavorful and really good as well. The view was nice! We had a table next to the window. Sophia was our server, who gave us exceptional service! Super sweet and very professional. She made sure to check up on us throughout our meal; her service never fell short. :)

Made reservations on Valentine's Day for a Galentine's dinner and the hostess and everyone was so sweet! One of our friend's boyfriend sent flowers and chocolates to the restaurant hours in advanced and they kept it safe for when she got there. We were also running 5-10 minutes late and called in to let them know and they were very kind and accommodating about it. The food and drinks were delicious and service was great too! I deducted a star because there was a mix up with our orders, and while they did fix it promptly, they made it seem like we were trying to be difficult or trying to get free food. I'd ordered my steak with the asparagus and subbed out the mashed potatoes for Brussel sprouts. My friend got her steak butterfly cut and ordered an extra side of broccolini (in addition to the asparagus and mashed potatoes it came with). They ended up putting my Brussel sprouts on my friend's plate and she didn't get any of her asparagus or broccolini. We'd flagged this to our server and they brought out my Brussels sprouts, but still no asparagus or broccolini for my friend. After 2 more tries with 2 additional different servers, we finally got all of our sides. However, when our server came by to make sure everything was good, he made a comment to the extent of "enjoy all the free sides you got" as if we were being picky just to get extra free sides, which was not the case at all. We just wanted what we'd ordered and we did pay for the extra broccolini. That rubbed us the wrong way forsure.

Went here for the first time last night with friends to celebrate a birthday. Restaurant is located on the top floor of pacific city, parking on street with meters or in parking garage, 2 hrs free with validation. The best aspects of the night were the view of the ocean and the appetizer. The drink while fruity and tasty was not strong at all. The burger wasn't bad but it was not something I would choose again either. I brought a French dip sandwhich home for my husband and he was not a fan of the meat and he gets that sandwhich from Houston's all the time. I think if I was in the area and wanted to grab a snack and a different cocktail with a nice view than I would go back but I live far and this place just isn't worth the drive in my opinion.

I enjoyed my meal, the staff, the location, and the view! The Brant is an impressive restaurant with a beautiful view nestled in a scenic shopping/eating area. I recommend you take the drive for all my LA and LB folks. If you are local, definitely add this restaurant to your list of eateries to try. Let's jump right into this review. What we had: PRETZEL BREAD BOARD Served With Honey Butter, Onion Jam, and Whole Grain Mustard - $15 - this was AWESOMSAUCE! The Honey Butter was mouth-watering, B-A-B-Y. CHOPPED CAESAR Romain Lettuce, Pancetta, Pepitas, Parmesan Cheese, House Croutons, Garlic Caesar Dressing - $13 - DELICIOUS! DOUBLE BONE-IN PORK CHOP Mango Chutney, Pancetta, French Fries - $32 - Worth the time to prepare but our waiter was very transparent that this dish is a hit or miss but it was hittin' the night we tried it. CRISPY HALF CHICKEN Free-Range Chicken Breast And Leg, Chicken Jus, Garlic Pomme Puree, Sauteed Corn - $28 - The chicken was juicy w sauteed corn with a twist in a "good" way. You wouldn't expect sauteed corn to taste so good. TANTALIZING to my taste buds! WARM BUTTERCAKE Vanilla Ice Cream, Raspberry Coulis -$14 - DEVINE! Pros 1. Impeccable service. Our waiter and the manager were personable and enhanced our overall experience with their service. *I really love restaurants where manager(s) check in with customers and genuinely want to know about your experience and then elevate it. Kudos to The Brant!* 2. Amazing views. 3. Clean. 4. Beautifully decorated and airy. 5. Food is delicious. Everything my mouth touch was ON-POINT. Cons I don't have any (smile). Recommendation 1. Make a reservation to see the sunset and request a window table. I'll be back! Period.

Amazing views and delicious asparagus fries and dipping sauce (I'm thinking spicy aioli). Unfortunately the Prime rib dip sandwich was terrible. I specifically came here for this sandwich because it looked so good on yelp! My sandwich came out extremely overcooked and well done. A prime rib dip sandwich is supposed to be pink and med-rare. I was starving so I just finished it but please look at the picture I posted of it. I had 2 espresso martinis which were just okay. Not great. Come for the beautiful view and that's really it.

Not bad! We loved the view of the ocean! Dishes ordered-bacon fig appetizer,crispy chicken,beet salad,halibut.Also ordered a few cocktails and Chardonnay. Drinks were just ok.Husband said halibut was way over done so that was disappointing.I liked my chicken and our daughter thought her beet salad was good.The desserts,chocolate lava and lemon cake, were so good Awesome service and I would definitely come back.

Went here for a double date on a Saturday night. Had some drinks both on and off menu and they were perfect. The service was great-I love it when people check on you but aren't pushy. It was nice to relax and watch the sunset while catching up with my friends. We had old fashioneds and Palomas off the menu and later my friends had traditional old fashioneds. My husband had the roast chicken and it was really good!

Food is DELICIOUS! Great ambiance, views, service, drinks, and FOOD! If you feel like having unlimited mimosas with your brunch do it.

I came here with a group of girls. It was a beautiful spot, spacious with great views of the beach. Service was great, kind and timely. Some things were a tad overpriced, like the burrito being $18 when it wasn't that great. But the bottomless mimosas for $20 is a great deal. I don't think I would come back unless it was for the Bottomless Mimosas.

The view was pretty and restaurant has nice decor/vibe. That's about all the positives. Went for lunch just a little bit ago and it took about 5 minutes to see a hostess. She was nice once she appeared. The initial waitress took about 5-10 to greet us and give water. She took our order then disappeared. A male waiter gave us our beverages said he'd be our waiter now. Kids meal came out fast (luckily). It took HALF an hour for our French dip and Cobb salad to arrive. The Cobb was bland. Nothing special. The French dip came out wrong (said no onions to waitress numero uno) then waited another 5 for the correct order. Husband said it was also bland and lacked flavor. Very confused why (according to you yelpers) this is number one for lunch in the HB area. And if that is the case then HB needs to bump up its food game.

This is my second time dining at The Brant, we chose to do a Saturday brunch. I had their veggie omelette, which was so delicious! Everyone loved their food at my table. Also, if you're looking for a beautiful view of the beach and weekend cruisers, I would make plans to dine here. We'll definitely be back.
