Very disappointed from Greeting from our waitress to the disappointment with our dinner. Our guest are Willie fans! We will not be returning. I have never been so embarrassed with what transpired with the service and quality of our dinner

Two of us shared four delicious small plates: mushrooms, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, octopus. We found all the different sauces tasty and were especially pleased with how tender the octopus was. We would order all plates again. We weren't planning on dessert but found the Strauss soft serve with tangerine oil and flaky salt an excellent light finish to the meal. Also rates a repeat. Our server Manny is a gem and was excellent about answering our questions. We'll be back! PS I ordered a tin of the mackerel to take with and learned it comes with sauces, toasted ciabatta, pickled vegetables. Had it the next day for dinner-very good!

Amazing Tapas Bar, the food was outstanding. I’ve spent many months through Spain and these tapas match any of the top Spanish restaurants. Julian was the best server. All around fantastic dinner. A+
Sharon
The food is always spot on. Delivery was a little slow this time but overall it is still one of my favorite places to dine.
Paul
Casual place with outstanding food and drinks! We can only go once a year but we look forward to it every time. Cocktails are creative and outstanding. Our Server, Frank, is very helpful with selections and is very personable. Enjoy sitting outside or on the back porch to enjoy the California weather! Chicken Croquette's are addicting--can not get enough! Same for the Marcona Almonds.

I ordered the Paella for 2, and the rice is very dry and burned. It is probably the worst Paella I have ever had.

Dined on the lovely covered patio. It was lovely and comfortable. The food was amazing as always. Love the variety of dishes so everyone at the table can choose a favorite. Our go-to Healdsburg spot especially when hosting out of town guests.

My former partner, Bryan, suggested a visit to Bravas, and it was an excellent recommendation! We had a delightful afternoon meal, sitting outside under umbrellas on a sunny October day. I enjoyed the red Sangria, which was refreshing and tasty, without being overly sweet. Catherine chose dry Spanish wine, which worked out well for her. We shared an order of Patatas Bravas – the most classic of tapas dishes – as well as Bocadillos: Serrano Ham, Manchego, and Truffle paste on toast; and Goat Cheese Toast. All 3 offerings were delicious! Our waitress was pleasant and was well acquainted with the menu, and she was a great resource is helping us select the appropriate amount of items. We stuck around for a second round of drinks after eating, and enjoyed the afternoon sun. Thanks for a great suggestion, Bryan!

The back patio is a wonderful outdoor space. Excellent small plates menu, fantastic flavours and delightful friendly staff.

First of all. In the heart of wine country. They serve you wine in a water glass. Imagine buying a bottle of nice wine and drinking out of water glasses. Very big turn off. Also food is too under seasoned. Brussels undercooked, Seasoning of Iberico pork is weird, pineapple is ok but should be cooked more and why the lemon vinaigrette for the pork? Doesn't work. Too much lemon flavor on everything. Get rid of the lemon on everything.
Absolutely fantastic meal and service. Delicious food, great patio space and attentive service. Couldn't be happier about our experience at Bravas.

Food was very greasy and had odd flavors. We actually left after the first course. Server was very kind and seemed overtaxed. We would not recommend. 
Gregory
Wonderful food and fun atmosphere, can't recommend enough. We have been 3 years in a row, this is a nonnegotiable when visting Healdsburg
James
The staff was excilent and provided good direction on tapas we may like. The food was what we expected and excilent. The Sangria was a hit with the group. Overall experience was fabulous.

The highlight of our visit was the service. Our previous visits, albeit at least a year ago, were always great in every regard but this time several thing were less than stellar. First off, our reservation was for 6:00 and we were seated promptly but our table was right next to the bar. In stead of the music being piped in all throughout the yard. It was blaring loud from the bar. This made it hard to talk at our table. The music was also too pounding for this venue. In the past they had always had something more appropriate for the backyard vibe like Hipster Cocktail Party Radio that was their usual in the past. As for the cocktail, they we all great and very generous size as always...no complaints there. The paella was excellent as always, it was the best of what we had. Where I think they fell short was Most of our Tapas. We probably order 10 tapas dishes and maybe 2 of them were something I would order again. The rest were either too salty, way too small for the price, or simply mediocre and unimaginative. If it would have been just us I wouldn't care as much but we had hyped up how great this place was to some special friends that we had brought there for a special occasion. Very disappointed!
