My first experience at Brava was for a business dinner. That visit was an absolute disaster for both food and service. I vowed never to return again.
Thankfully a twitter group organized a dinner out and Brava was chosen for this nights outing. I decided to give it another go and I was suitably impressed. With the large group service was attentive and everyone enjoyed their meals.
Since then I've become quite the regular there and it's become my go-to place for a well done meal paired with great wines.
The only miss I've had in recent visits was the burger was slightly overcooked, however the waiter immediately took steps to make it right. Recent highlights, any of the flatbreads, the burger, the Lebanese chopped salad, plus numerous items from their weekly fresh sheet.
The wine list is well thought out and accessible. The staff don't mind bringing you a taster if you have any questions about a pairing. As well, the cocktails are fantastic and well made. It's apparent they spend time training the staff how to properly make them, something more places should do.
