Absolutely the worst choice for brunch on mother's day. We had an afternoon reservation and when we arrived there was no food ready. After about 15 minutes of us eating the staff started cleaning up the dining space, stacking chairs and folding up tables. I thought this was extremely rude and felt forced to rush and leave. Nothing was done for the inconveniences, we paid the same price as everyone else and the dining experience should have been the same. Don't take reservations if you want to be done early. We were not the only people there trying to enjoy mother's day.

Great place to go for last minute plans, great food choices and rarely have to wait to be seated. Food is top quality and the kitchen does a great job in preparing it as ordered. The wait staff and Bartenders are perfessional and friendly, always helpful and always great service. And the real reason I frequent this place is that they serve Amstel Light and New Castle Brown, my two favorite beers.

Our first time dining at Vandy's ..... beautiful views overlooking the golf course. Super friendly waitress. They said they were out of Prime Rib already (6:30 pm) so I ordered the walleye and shrimp trio. Husband got the ribs. Wild rice soup was delicious! My walleye was fishy tasting, undercooked and cold. I told the waitress and she immediately sent the manager over. He offered me Prime Rib instead! Not sure why it was suddenly available but it was a decent cut of meat. Hubby's ribs were plentiful but "nothing special". We would probably come again and order from the sandwich menu.

Vandy’s is a great place with beautiful ambiance. The only thing we would change is to dim the lights a little as it’s a little too bright for a restaurant of that caliber. Otherwise highly recommend it.
