Java:

I need to match a phone number of the exact format (111)-111-1111. (not 111-111-1111)

I've tried:

escaping the parentheses with \ backslash - compiler will not accept \ backslash

escaping the parentheses with \\ backslashes - compiler will accept \\ but evaluates as not a match when (111)111-1111 is entered

escaping the parentheses with brackets [ ( ] and [ ) ] - compiler accepts brackets but evaluates as not a match when (111)111-1111 is entered

My regex code is

return phone.matches("\\([1-9]\\)d{2}-[1-9]\\d{2}-\\d{4}");

How do I properly escape the parentheses in my phone number?
