Buy a Restauant ~ Brandt’s Cafe is For Sale

Brandt’s Cafe has been one of my favorite restaurants for years, so I’m a little sad to tell you that Adam Brandt is looking for a buyer for his restaurant.

Adam sent out an email today to the restaurant’s fans announcing that he is looking for a buyer.

I certainly understand why he has made the decision to sell, but I hope that the new owners won’t change things around too much. Adam has put together a formula that works really well… wonderful atmosphere, attentive service, amazing food, live music and sidewalk seating.

Here’s the information that Adam sent out announcing that he is selling:
