    We went on Thanksgiving Day after a failed attempt to eat at a "no-reservation" place. We made a quick reservation, were seated as soon as we got there and all the staff we interacted with were very happy to be working this holiday. We may just make this place a tradition! God bless you Bravo!

    The bread had to be sourced from a day-old giveaway. The fettuccine alfredo with chicken was lacking the alfredo. It was truly, Friday the 13th.

    Four of us came for dinner and three of the meals were great. The fourth one (lasagna) came out cold and needed to be reheated. Once reheated, it was soupy.

    Nothing special at Bravo. We just returned home from Southern California where only really good restaurants survive. Back at home we though we would try Bravo again after 4 years. The bread was cold. The fettuccini Alfredo lacked flavor and there were some funky pieces of chicken breast (tough) mixed in. We will not return for another 4 years.

    I am not sure exactly why I keep giving this place another try. The server was sweet but forgetful. She left our appetizer under the heat lamp in till I asked her about it when she dropped off the entrées the temperature is dipping sauce was yellow and congealed and the mozzarella ravioli was cold and chewy and our entrees were mediocre. I truly used to enjoy coming to eat here but I guess it’s going to have to be put on the list of places not for me to go.

    We had a reservation for Mother’s Day. We were seated 20-30 minutes late. We didn’t have utensils and didn’t have them after asking three different people. I finally had to get them myself. There was also a hair entangled in my pasta in the middle of the dish after I had eaten through most of it. Just chaotic.

    We've been here many times. This was a special occasion. I was disappointed. Some of the food was great; some very mediocre. Service was terrible -- over two hours for lunch. This is NOT what I expected based on previous experience. We will likely come back, but if we get a repeat performance of this experience we will never return.

    The service was great but the food was just ok. The calamari was as under seasoned and overcooked. The chicken in the pasta was bland and just seemed to be boiled. Pasta and sauce was decent. For the price I would go somewhere else.

    Overall a great experience! Our server was amazing, wish the same could be said about the Host and so called manager on duty. Host were not friendly now welcoming! The so called manager on duty took an order for one table- clearly it had to be family or someone, cause she only help that individual as well as she sat down with that individual while they had their dinner. Overall- our server was amazing! Friendly smile, great attitude, never lost focus and was always offering options with our meal. Bravo needs more servers like her!
