| - I forgot to review Bravo! from a visit back in November of 2014 so reviewing them now--they crossed my mind as I thought to myself "I need to stop by Northlake on my way up to the mountains to get some climbing gear at REI", which I'd visited also in November, then I recalled having dinner here.
Reading other reviews, it seems at times the service is a bit spotty, but that wasn't my experience at all. I sat at the bar as I was alone, ordered an Old Fashioned and ordered their Grilled Chicken & Vegetable Pasta, which despite its boring name actually was very good. The vegetables tasted quite fresh and the chicken was a generous enough amount despite this coming from their "Lite" menu. So it was robust in flavor yet healthy, too. I would not say the restaurant was horribly busy but it wasn't so slow as to worry the manager about it going under, either. The bartender was very prompt in taking my order and seeing the food came out swiftly. As I was traveling, I appreciated this and the general feeling of prompt yet not rushed service here.
So my take-away impression as someone who eats out a lot is this: for a mall restaurant it's pretty top of the game. If you're in a hurry try sitting at the bar if you don't have a huge party, because the bartender is sure to spot you and can't ignore you. The prices are reasonable, the portions pretty large, and the bar menu items very much deals for the amounts that come out (the ladies beside me ordered several so I saw what they had). I'd certainly return.
