I guess I was a tad disappointed. The menu selection is not great and the prices for what you get are rather inflated. The service was outstanding though.
I did find the tables to be too close together and the music was very loud.

I’ve been here many times when staying at the hotel. This time just for a drink after an event. Took forever just to order. Then apparently our server had a shift change which explains why no one came back. Had to ask 3 people for the bill. Then they gave the someone else’s bill.

Man....I wish this was better, not entirely disappointed but...wish it was better.
We were sat literally at the entrance so we're basically looking at the hotel lobby, not inviting at all... or intimate.
I ordered a bunch of plates and the food was a bar above THE KEG, scallops over cooked almost dehydrated and the steaks were honestly less than impressive.....next time I spend 400$ it won't be here unfortunately.

Was there last night with friends. The service and atmosphere was really great but the food was mediocre. The meat items were good but the mashed potatoes had no seasoning in it - really bland. My friend ordered salmon, and it was the most sad looking salmon I have ever seen presented on a tiny plate with a tiny piece of salmon and quarter of an onion. We all laughed as soon as it hit the table. The food is extremely overpriced which is expected with an upscale location but the portions are extremely small for the price compared to other upscale places. They charge extra for sides which was included in the menu, but they even charged for the sauce that they offered with the meat. Overall, not super happy with the food.

Went here for my wife’s birthday and the whole night was a letdown. The music was blasting so loud we could barely talk, and even the waiter couldn’t hear our order. After repeating ourselves several times, the wrong appetizer still showed up. They fixed it, but it shouldn’t have happened in the first place.
The food was worse.
The short rib was dry, overcooked, and missing the sauce it was supposed to come with. The mashed potatoes were the only decent thing on the plate.
The duck came out blue-rare and stone cold. The risotto was mushy, missing the Gouda, and the dish looked thrown together with a few raw apple slices.
We skipped dessert, paid $220 with no drinks, and left disappointed. Absolutely not worth the money. We won’t be back and wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone

I do not often write reviews, my review is only as good as it is because our server was incredible and we have had better meals there. I have to start by the saying the tomahawk steak just is not worth the price. As someone who has ordered tomahawks at high end restaurants before, Braven just is not the spot to pay $250 for one, at least not what we received. The steak an hour to come to us. We ordered medium rare and our steak was closer to rare almost blue rare in spots. The seasoning was bland, no table sided service, just the steak tossed on a board already sliced up. We were told it came with some of the mashed potatoes, it is a very minimal, not enough for two people. We ordered some extra sides, however even those were minimal. For what you pay for the sides, the amount that comes is just not ok. We hade the carrots and shrimp for sides. The carrots were burned and hardly enough too feed a child. Our server however was absolutely incredible the entire time, she kept apologizing for the wait and you could tell that even she was not impressed. She did comp one of our sides and one of our apps, but even with that it was still a $750 bill. I truly hope that this was just bad experience but felt I needed to share. I will leave this on a good not though and say the duck/risotto dish we also ordered was absolutely amazing. However it also took really long as they waited to serve it with the steak. We have had great meals here in the past, however this being the first time we brought friends, it was disappointing for them. I do not believe they would return based off that experience.
The brusell sprouts we're the highlight, amazing and quite likely the best one's my wife and i have ever had. For our main we split the Chateaubriand steak with a side of whipped mashed potatoes. The steak was very good, decent quality, but did not live up to the price we paid for it. Have had better steaks numerous times elsewhere at a lower price point. The potatoes were pretty standard fare, good but not exceptional. After dinner i ordered a cognac which took over 30 minutes to arrive at the table. Our server was doing a great job through dinner but the after dinner response was not good. Nice atmosphere overall. Would we repeat - probably not. Dinner with a standard bottle of wine and tip was just over $500 but it didn't feel like the value was up to that level.

I t was my Birthday celebration and Ime and my long time friend had the duck with mushrooms and truffle fries.
The duck tasted like old chicken, and was raw. The mushrooms were typical fried mushrooms as were the fries.
The service was good, but the faire was more than substandard.
We would never go back for the food, which by the way came up to $290.00 - outrageous and unethical. I would like to know how would ever pay &1000.00 for a bottle of wine and $250.00 for a piece of meat called steak? Thank God we had a voucher to use up.

I just asked for a table the short hair lady wearing a red shirt was rude with an attitude that’s why I guess they have a 4 star review on Google get a friendly person.
Rubait was an incredible server. He was diligent, entertaining, sociable and was amazing with our daughter. Treated us like family and enjoyed our time 10x more thanks to his service.
Looking forward to coming back again and will ask to be in his section!
