| - My friend has heard great things about Bravo's brunch on Saturdays and Sundays and asked if we should give it a shot. I was reluctant because I regularly avoid Bravo at all costs due to previous visits taking hours out of my day for an 'okay' meal, but I was getting bored with the variety at the Waterfront, which my friend and I frequent regularly for our catch-up lunches every few weeks. I gave a half-hearted yes and decided to give them another try- we decided on 11AM as soon as they opened (that's a little late for brunch, no?) and were promptly seated. We had a movie across the street at Loews at 12:35 so of course this was more than enough time to eat brunch - not! We didn't get out of there until 12:15 and not because we were sitting and chatting after the meal, but the long wait for the food! More on that later...
The brunch menu has a decent selection of breakfast foods, a couple sandwiches, a couple types of pizza, a few entree salads, and quite a few pasta options. I decided on the Romano chicken salad but asked for grilled chicken instead of the breaded/fried chicken. It was delicious with chopped lettuce, chopped eggs, small pieces of bacon, Parmesan cheese (quite odd- you'd think they'd have Parmesan shavings or shredded Parmesan, but no, it's like the finely-ground Kraft Parmesan cheese from the shaker bottle); the Parmesan dressing was excellent, though I wish they tossed the dressing with the salad instead of giving cups of the dressing as it was quite thick. My friend decided on the egg white omelette that comes with a side of fruit salad. She really enjoyed hers as well.
Back to the wait time- I haven't dined at Bravo for years even though I live in close proximity to two locations (Galleria and Waterfront). IT IS SOOOO SLOW HERE. I just don't get it! As I mentioned, we got there at 11:00 on the dot, so there weren't many other people dining around us, and our food took 45 minutes, for an omelette and an entree salad! I think that is just crazy. To be fair, I would expect that for hearty pasta dinners if the place is completely packed and it's dinner time, but not a mostly-empty restaurant at 11:00 in the morning! It is extremely annoying. I see that nothing has changed in the service department so I am still reluctant to go again.
Maybe we'll meet again in a few more years, Bravo. And mostly for the bread and oil :)
