    Husband and I had a good time. Some of the components of the dishes seemed underwhelming but most of it was great and appreciate for the price. On a busy night staff still did their best to be as attentive as possible and it looked like the manager/owner helped out as well. Gotta go back because we didn't have room for dessert!

    Absolutely love this place. I am so glad they chose Tulare to establish their restaurant. We no longer have to drive to Fresno or Visalia to get an outstanding meal. Our server, Evelyn was second to none as was our food. This was my second visit to this outstanding restaurant and I look forward to coming back soon.

    Great restaurant and service. Disappointed in flavor or lack of flavors in the food. Presentations where excellent, food is just missing great flavors, example being Wedge salad, looked spectacular, but flavorless blue cheese used and dressing had a lack of great buttermilk flavors. Expected more with the prices paid

    The lamb lollipops were wonderful! Stand out favorites were the seared Chilean sea bass and the beet salad. The tiramisu, carrot cake and flourless chocolate cake were delicious! The service was excellent with friendly and knowledgeable staff. We will return.

    This is a little gem in the city of Tulare. We went for my wife’s birthday with the kids and it was quite the surprise of an experience. The place is quaint and well decorated and has a very home like vibe. The food was rather good, my wife got the ribeye and I had the sea bass. The kids had pizza and the cheeseburger. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we had an amazing experience. While not an everyday place to dine, it is on our list of places to go for special occasions.

    Outstanding dinner, as always! Great food, service and ambience. My husband said his wedge salad was the best he has ever had, and my beet salad was very tasty and was presented beautifully. Entrees were also delicious and portions were generous. Great wine list, and the cocktails are fantastic! Wonderful evening.

    Shockingly on a Friday night the restaurant was less than half full. Tried something new and ordered meatloaf, which came with a pound of cheese on top of it. Menu didn’t say that and it was probably added because it was dry as heck. Was supposed to be a special but it was probably made early in the week. Rest of the food was ok, but almost $5 for a small glass of lemonade was a rip off. When this place first opened, you could hardly get a seat but now it looks like hardly anyone bothers going back.

    The food was ok. The cheese board! really needs to be served with bread and not wheat thin kind of crackers. I've had some really nice cheese boards and this had too much going on. The pork chop was very good! The Argentina beef was good too, it needed more chimmichurri sauce though. Great wine!

    We had a fantastic experience last night at Braised. The atmosphere was awesome, food was outstanding. We started with drinks and charcutterie; I loved the Braised salad and had salmon added to it. It was perfectly prepared. My daughter had the wedge salad, one friend had the Braised burger with fries, and one had the Wild Mushroom Pappardelle pasta with Short Rib. Everything was prepared to perfection. The service was outstanding. Our server and host checked on us frequently and were friendly and helpful. Thank you! We'll be back to try the Chilean Sea Bass next!

    We were excited to try! Service was slow and not very attentive. Half of us liked our dinner. Surf and turf appetizer was very good. Tried the bone morrow toast and glad we did. Pork chop was dry. Green beans had little flavor. Not too impressed by the lobster cannelloni (tasted like imitation). Chicken was good and best plate we had was the Mushroom pappardelle pasta. Drinks were very good. Kind of disappointed.

    First ever dining experience at Braised. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with an attention to detail and upscale farm-style decor. The menu has many enticing selections. I would say the prices are very steep, but you get what you pay for. The service is a team effort and professional. The ambiance is perfect, and you can marvel in all the interior design. All the dishes we selected were gorgeous. There were 8 of us.

    Nice restaurant but the noise level was so high that we had a hard time hearing each other at a 4 person table. Food was overall well prepared and service was good Hopefully they can consider adding some sound absorbing soft surfaces. I would recommend this restaurant but would warn them about the volume

    There were 7 of us (including 2 kids) and we all ordered different entrees along with two appetizers. Everything, and I mean everything, was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Their kids meals were so well rounded including fruits and vegetables with their mini hamburgers and French fries. We were very impressed with the service and ambiance and look forward to dining there again.

    We did not have a long wait for our reservation. The hostess was warm and welcoming. The waitress was sweet and efficient. Our water glasses were never empty. And the food was AMAZING!! From the rolls to the tiramisu, we gloried in our delicious experience. We will definitely be back. Only one criticism. It is really loud in there. Some acoustical padding might help that .? Thanks for everything!

    I ordered a sirloin medium and it was bloody and had WAY TOO MUCH sauce. I sent it back and it still was bloody. I wrapped up and brought it home and threw it away. Unfortunately, it was not tasty at all! My son ordered a ribeye without sauce and it came with sauce. It was saturated with sauce! Other food items were excellent and I plan to go back and just NOT order any steaks!
