    A lot of waiting around even with a reservation. Wait list even for the bar. When sat at a table there's more waiting. Once you're done and want the check there's more waiting. I did not think the crab fried rice was spicy but it definitely was spicy. I wish they had a spice symbol next to the name somewhere on the menu. The dim sum was good. The ambiance and noise level was very loud.

    Food was very tasty but expensive ($16 for two eggrolls). Tables were very small and packed tight. Very loud which I didn't like but didn't bother my 19 year old (felt like I was shouting across table to be heard).

    This was the best restaurant experience I've had in a very long time. The food was amazing. I had the crab fried rice and it was great. My friend got the general tso chicken and I usually don't even like that but it was the best I have ever tasted.

    We went on Saturday, September 10. I forgot our server's name, but he has curly hair and a beard. The food and drinks were amazing. But I cannot begin to praise the server enough. He was tremendously caring, and showed us a lot of patience with our questions and inability to make decisions. He made sure that our friends' allergies were addressed, while remaining friendly. The offerings and ambiance were great, but our server helped to make it a perfect dinner.

    My fiancé and I absolutely love dim sum so we just got dumplings- it did not disappoint! The food and cocktails were absolutely amazing. It was a bit pricey but we will be back anyways! I do wish that the atmosphere was a bit better with the seating. There are so many tables packed in and no comfortable seating choices! 8.5/10 overall experience!

    It was our 25th wedding anniversary and I had made a note of this when making the reservation. Being seated in the middle of the restaurant to save the 4 top tables on a fairly slow noon Sunday lunch seemed ridiculous. We didn't argue since I understand the reason for this but then the food was just average. I ordered the lo mein and the greens were so long and tough to cut. I knew it would be this way since I've had it before (I really like the flavor enough to deal with this small detail) but this time it was way overdone with soy. Too salty to really enjoy. The beer was fantastic as always but it just didn't feel like a special anniversary meal. Most places read the notes on reservations and say or do something small to make the dining experience stand out a bit. I will come back again...but only for the beer.

    Delicious food. Portions look small but are surprisingly filling. My girlfriend and I shared the soup dumplings, moon cakes, and general tsos chicken and we both left very satisfied. Only compliant would be the price of it all. I felt it was a bit high.

    BH was referred by a co-worker and BH did not disappoint! The food was great and our party of four all agreed that the food selections chosen were enjoyed. Our server, Octavio was on point. He was knowledgeable, attentive and had a great vibe. The noise level was energetic yet tolerable. We didn’t have to yell …Lol!

    I love Brewery Bhavana and have been here numerous times, but this visit was the best. Our waitress, Dawn, asked if my husband and I had a special occasion and I told her it was our anniversary. So proceeded to surprise us with a plate of pork shumai, a cute cupcake, and champagne at different points in the meal. Our food and other drinks were excellent as usual. The espresso martini was probably the best coffee cocktail I have ever had. We expected to have a good experience because we were Brewery Bhavana enthusiasts to begin with, but we were extra impressed. Thanks to Dawn for everything!

    A favorite downtown Raleigh spot, they went above & beyond last night with our group of 6 who were celebrating a birthday. Without even asking, they ended the dinner with complimentary glasses of sparkling & a cupcake for the birthday honoree. This after THE BEST steamed buns in the Triangle! We've NEVER been disappointed at BB--be it Dim Sum, Lunch, or Dinner.
