"Mistakes made by the wait staff, but they took care of us without our input. $10 corkage fee was fair. wine list moderate in varity and fairly priced mostly in $25 to $50 dollar range food good. One in party would come back just for the dessert. Another loved the piano and singer."

"The staff is very attentive to your needs, and the food is outstanding.This place has replaced a popular Walnut Creek Restaurant we used to frequent. Just save room for desert, because nobody does desert like Brove Bistro. The prices are well within acceptable for the food and service."

"Been for dinner several times. Dinner excellent. Tried the Easter buffet. Food OK. Waitng for egg long and other food got cold. Big beef--online showed first Mimos included. We were charged for that. Asked for coffee and told it was also extra. The basis brunch was adequate but the extra "nickel and diming" was not good."

"The food was terrific; we both had the lasagne which was outstanding. The service was great during dinner but got a little slower as the restaurant started becoming more crowded...which is to be expected. The piano music was a nice touch, albeit a little on the loud side, but we were able to talk over it. It was an enjoyable experience and we plan to come back here again!"

"The food and service were good. The noise level was a bit high as the restaurant got busy and the piano player started to play not more than 3 feet from our table. The wait staff and hostess were both very attentive. Good place to go before attending the Willows Theatre in the Willows Shopping Center, a real gem for American musical theatre and contemporary plays."

"This is the worst service I had ever experienced, we got to our reservations on time @7:45 and waited till 8:10 to be seated. Then I was standing by the host table and everyone kept passing by ignoring me and looking at me until I finally said "is anyone going to help me".
Our food was late and our server never came back to ask is there anything else we need? Not quite sure what her name was I think it was Jennefer, she was so bad that she didn't even introduce herself. Water and bread was brought late, including trying to get her attention to final get the check. I would never recommend this place to eat unless you want to wait forever."

"We have been at Bravo a few times and all other visits have been 5 stars. On this last visit our server wasn't as attentive as the others. We got the feeling since we didn't order any cocktails she was disappointed. There was a table next to us that was a bit loud but that is not the restaurants fault. I'm sure this was a one time exception because this is one of my favorite restaurants. If it wasn't for our server and the noise level, I would have given it 5 stars. I will definitely be back."
