About Us
The Brentwood Restaurant and Wine Bistro is elegantly set
in this beautiful Victorian home that was built in 1910
by Clarence and Essie Bessent-McCorsley.
Here they raised four lovely children. After Clarence passed away in the late 1940’s, the children grown and married, Essie often rented rooms to fishermen visiting Little River for $1.00 per night, 50 cents extra for a hearty breakfast. The building was moved to the current location sometime in the 70’s from across Route 17, Grandma Mary’s started serving the public with good home cooking.
Closed sometime in the 80’s, the Victorian house stood on the hill until it was purchased and restored to it’s natural beauty. Brothers from Brentwood, Long Island (hence the name Brentwood Restaurant) created a menu to please every taste, taking the art of cooking to the highest level.
For more on the history of the Brentwood and some of the spirits that reside, sign up for the Ghost Dinner & Tour. Enjoy a delicious three course dinner, a short movie on the house and then a guided tour to the areas of activity. Ask your server for a list of available dates.

A dark fast shadow has been sighted several times passing by the upstairs bathroom into the front room. It’s been recently spotted going through the upstairs fireplace.
Several witnesses saw a face in the upstairs window when no one was there. Multiple Orbs in digital pictures. Sighing voices in the walls.
Some say there are two ghosts, a lady and a man. Some say there are many more.
We have pieced together as much information we could find on the history of the house and all its former tenants. We know the original owner used to charge fishermen $1.50 for a good night’s rest and a hearty breakfast the next day. Not only was it a Tourist home, but several restaurants over the years leading up to The Brentwood Restaurant & Wine Bistro.
Our storytellers will guide you through the house, its history and recent sightings of the spirits that wander throughout The Brentwood Restaurant & Wine Bistro

Now this is a place to visit! Wife and I went for Happy Hour wine and apps. The bar is upstairs and the walls are covered with thousands of corks in a very relaxed yet elegant atmosphere. The wine was wonderful, the crabcake and She Crab soup appetizers were phenomenal. Can’t wait to go back for a full dinner!
