   The server was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was a little loud but pleasant. However, we were under-impressed by the quality of the food. The rolls were nice and warm, the lobster bisque was good, but the house salad was just chopped up iceberg lettuce with a smattering of parmesan cheese, noodle crisps, bacon bits, and tomato. For the cost of $6.99 (not included with an entree) it was almost a joke. I wouldn't bother ordering a salad unless you get one of the larger salads as a meal. I had shrimp scampi, which was just "okay" but a whole lot of spaghetti and just a few small shrimp. My husband liked his chicken marsala better and I tried it and thought it was pretty good too. The prices seemed high for what we had (although isn't everything these days?). We aren't likely to go again very soon.

   Food delivery was very slow, but we assumed it was due to the lack of staffing. The dipping oil tasted differently than we remembered, not as good. When you dine, expect slow or slower service wherever you eat. The experience was pleasant for the most part. Our server was very nice.

   Service was slow, not many customers to begin with. Food took a good 45 minutes. Server was hard to locate. Nice building. Food tasted ok. Wouldn’t suggest if your from out of state looking for something new

   I have eaten here many times, but this was the best meal we ever had. Their penne pasta and meatballs is the best in town and our server was a real professional.

    Bravo Waterfront: kitchen forgot pasta sauce twice. Waitress brought wrong dishes twice. Steak was tough, needed to be replaced. Overall dinner took 3 hours due to all the mistakes.

    I have eaten here about 4 or 5 times when I am visiting Pittsburgh. It is convenient to park there. The overall experience was just okay. It was crowded and understaffed ( all restaurants are understaffed) which made bar and table service very slow. The Caesar salad was very good but the shrimp scampi was very unimpressive. Tiny shrimp and runny, tasteless sauce. The pasta was alright but nothing to rave about. Try another menu item. One of our friends had pizza which looked very fresh and he enjoyed.

    We ate here after a movie on thanksgiving weekend. Food was good and our waitress was nice and good, but the staff at this location is very loud. They were shouting and laughing and joking with each other so loudly that it was hard to hear the conversation at our own table. It really killed the atmosphere. I dont plan to return to this bravo for that reason.

    They were badly overbooked. We arrived for our 7pm, reservation and got told there would be a 10-minute wait. It was an hour wait. We ordered, and after half an hour a server told us our orders were almost ready. It was also an hour. We understand that messes happen. If we'd been told "We're backed up an hour" we would have decided to wait or leave. We should not have been given imaginary wait times. We were there two and a half hours, of which less than half an hour was the actual meal.

    I have never walked out of a restaurant in my life - until now. When we arrived, we went to the bar while we waited for a table. The bartender was clearly flustered and overwhelmed. At our table, we were not served bread and waited 40 minutes before our soup arrived. After being there an hour and ten minutes with no food in sight, we finally asked to pay for our soup and leave. Ended up at McDonald’s.

    Love the ambiance, but the old days are gone on service. Our server was good, but they didn’t have enough help. They needed more busboys to clear dirty dishes. That should not be the sole responsibility of the server. There were just too many patrons and not enough help.

    wait more than an hour for the drink, which of those that I asked for beyond that in the menu they offered them they did not have them, they lost my entrees order. to continue, he brings me the dessert menu and you know they take my order and I came back saying that what I asked for I didn't have. Before the pandemic an excellent restaurant. Now I can't recommend it, I tell you the waitress very well, I know it wasn't her problem.

    Apparently there was a kitchen staffing issue with only 2 cooks on duty. Good thing our reservation was 5:00pm, because they began canceling reservations and turned away people shortly after we arrived. Everything was slow and it was not the special occasion celebration for my wife’s 70th birthday. Disappointing all around.

    Sat at table waited 25 minutes no one approached us. I went to front desk they said oh will get someone , waited 5 minutes then the waiter came . We had our drinks 35 minutes after being sat. We ordered right away , 15 minutes to get salad, asked for more bread ( didn’t get) . After waiting 30 more minutes asked to speak to Manager the girl rolled her eyes. Within a few minutes after we asked to see manager our food came. The Manager never came over to the table. We received our check there was an extra meal on it. The waiter removed it . Our Grand daughter picked this restaurant because she wanted the bread dough to make her own bread , she got the dough but it was never baked. So disappointed! There seemed to be plenty of staff in fact the girl who rolled her eyes was busy with another person who I would assume was the Manager and was setting up the banquet room , literally within a few feet from us . The food was good what a shame how we were treated we will not be back.

    No pizza or flatbread, lasagna. I told server I was paying bill. Person at table ordered appetizer; drinks....server should have looked at me for permission. Persons ordered salad on the side not knowing it would be an extra 6.99 each. Then 3 ordered soup and salad plus meal; Server should have said, that's extra. Bill with tip was around 181 for 5 for lunch. NO alcohol. That is a lot of money for things I DIDN'T ORDER OR GIVE PERMISSION. Had to ask for silverware. a plate, salt/pepper,cheese on pasta, napkins, water. This is second bad experience.

    We had 5:00 o'clock reservations and ended up arriving a little earlier and they were able to seat us right away. We got our drinks in a very timely fashion as well as bread and oil. Our food took a little longer but everything was delicious and hot. The soups were ordered were good as well.

    Celebrating my birthday. Was seated and waited about 10 minutes for the server to come by. She was pleasant but obviously had many tables as she never cleared the empty plates or refilled drinks, until I asked at the end of our visit. Noted that it was for a birthday, but nobody recognized that either 😕 Finally, it’s been awhile since I’ve eaten at a Bravo and the portion sizes were considerably smaller. My wife never finishes a meal and did so with ease. So much so, that we made some appetizers upon arriving home. Overall, it was very good though!

    We had a reservation and was seated within 10-15 min so that was fine but we sat almost 20 min without anyone coming over and waiting over 30 min for water or drinks. Asked for refills of bread 4x and never got the refill. Ordered bolognese and it came as chopped up Italian sausages in the house sauce. It was so spicy. Any Italian would be ashamed. I can see them running out of sauce and not having time to remake as bolognese takes a long time but don’t pretend that is the same. That’s nothing like a bolognese at all. Took almost 3 hours overall.
