   Totally recommend this place! I made a reservation because it's Little Rock, but we probably didn't need one; people were being seated promptly. Our server, last name Cartwright, was phenomenal, bringing bread and drinks before we needed them; he was also very knowledgeable about the food, and left enough time in between courses to actually enjoy them. We had leftovers, which he took himself to put into containers, and even plastic wrap so as not to leak. It was easy enough to find via GPS, but it is definitely not easy after that; read what it says is the location, for it is inside a building with Armour Bank on the outside. We will definitely return and recommend!

   Absolutely fabulous meal and experience as it always is at Brave! My husband had the smoked chicken with the Parmesan risotto special and he said it was nothing short of phenomenal. I had the vegetable pasta which was amazing!

   We ate dinner at Brave New Restaurant to celebrate a birthday. The view from the window table was lovely. Each of us ordered a different entree & enjoyed our food very much. Our server, Juanita, was sweet & helpful.

   Brave is so consistent and very good too boot. Had the Walleye which was excellent (a fork for me). One of the best restaurants in Little Rock. Oh and a great view.

    The food was excellent. Clearly they were much better staffed than on our last two visits. I requested a quieter table and the request was noted and answered. We had a very nice evening.

    Peter Brave is not only the owner, he leads every member of his team as their Chief Experience Officer! From arrival to departure, our experience was 1st class. The service is impeccable, the food and presentation is regal, and the views of the river and ambience are spectacular. Thank you for making our "date night" an evening to remember!

    Another excellent dining experience at Brave. We had two small children in our party of 8 and they had a complimentary kids fruit and cheese plate on the table as we sat down. Walleye, filet, scallops and tuna special were perfection. Tables are spaced far enough apart not to interfere with conversation. Service was attentive to all needs. Our favorite-celebration restaurant for over 25 years.

    Brave New is always a fantastic meal. The special was perfect (sea bass) and the scallops are the best around. Even on a busy night like Valentine's Day, the place runs smoothly and does not feel crowded. Food service is prompt but not rushed. The servers are always top notch.

    Always fantastic food. I had the special of the day, which was sea bass, pork belly, and strawberry risotto. Can't say enough good about it. Match that with attentive service (there when you need them, not smothering you when you don't) and a nice view of the Arkansas River and it added up to a perfect date night. I'll definitely return again and again.

    Went to Brave New for lunch and won't do that again. Clearly the same chef(s) are not in the house at lunch as at dinnertime. The special fish, grouper, was served in pieces, blackened on the edges, with a bland sauce, altogether boring, and the carrots were insufficiently cooked. The wine and the service were lovely and my favorite dessert, their chocolate creme brulee, was divine as ever, but the meal left much to be desired for a $45 check.

    Food was great. I feel like prices have gone up quite a bit. We’ve been eating here for years and years now. Always consistent and great. Crowds have become larger so it’s not as small and quiet as it once was.

    We came to Little Rock for our daughter’s gymnastics meet. We searched for restaurants on the way here and this one had wonderful reviews. We made an early reservation since we had our children with us. It was nicer than we expected but the kids did great and they brought out a complimentary fruit and cheese plate for each child as we sat down. Everything was absolutely delicious even the vanilla ice cream! It had to be homemade. The owner was there and greeted us and the children. Even the other guests so kind. If we ever find ourselves in Little Rock again we will be back. Absolutely amazing food and service.
