    The food was pretty good, some chicken in the pasta was tough but otherwise everything from starters, salads and entrees was tasty. I do think the prices have really sky rocketed. To add the side salad which isn’t anything elaborate was $7 or $8. Our server was great!!

    The food has always been great. Never had a bad meal. But the service and the management are horrible. First, our waiter, who by the way worked his a$$ off because he was also bartending. The management hung out by the kitchen and did nothing. Other waiters and waitresses did nothing out of the ordinary to help the patrons or their coworkers when they got behind. Overall Bravo would be a great place to have a restaurant if the managers did their jobs properly. Perfect example are the Cameron Mitchell restaurants. The staff at any of his restaurants bend over backwards to please the patrons, hence their success. Please Bravo, your food is great, your service and management suck!!! TJ Brudzinski

    Thank you, TJ, for your honest and passionate feedback. We're thrilled to hear you’ve consistently enjoyed the food and truly appreciate your recognition of James’ hard work—he’ll be grateful for your kind words. At the same time, we’re very sorry the overall service and lack of support from other staff and management negatively impacted your experience. Your observations about teamwork and leadership are important, and you're absolutely right—great food deserves great service to match. Your comments will be shared with our leadership team as a call to action to improve accountability, support, and hospitality across the board. Thank you again for taking the time to share this, and for caring enough to want to see things done right.

    Bravo just isn't what it used to be. Our service was bad, mainly just slow. Our guy had too many tables for his abilities. He forgot what we were drinking almost every time, took 10 minutes before he took our drink orders, and didn't clear our appetizer plates until we were done with our main meal. On top of that, the food wasn't that great. Over cooked/dry chicken and no dipping mix for the bread. Not coming back unfortunately, we used to love Bravo

    I understand it was Mother’s day hut the service was so slow and we spent so much time waiting for our food and then they made the wrong dish for my husband. Even after this it took forever to just get our check and head out. Not a great experience but the food was great.

    We were a 10:15 reservation. We waited 2 HOURS for our food while we watched all the other tables seated after us get their food. The kitchen was having major problems and apparently a communication barrier between cooks and staff too, we were told. The manager had no understanding himself as to how our they could have dropped the ball so badly. I believe they lost our ticket- but even after that was discovered, it’s till took like another 45 minutes! We won’t be back.

    This is one of our favorite restaurants, and the manager cut the price of a bottle of wine as compensation for us having to wait too long for service. Food is always excellent! Ambiance wonderful, whether on the nice patio or inside.
