The food was very tasty and well prepared Loved the chickpea appetizer But 25 dollars for 2 slim lamb chops and nothing else That’s just pretentious Good food but if you are hungry and don’t want to spend a lot for a little, this isn’t the right place

Our server was great. Super busy night at the restaurant but she didn’t skip a beat. Food was a mixed bag: boom boom shrimp great balance of sweet and spicy; tomato and basil soup rustic and basic; good base to work with but not great. Mushroom Fontina and Thyme pizza: crispy and chewy excellent base, but toppings and flavor bland; no hint of thyme. Brava’s tomato sauce, mozzarella and pesto pizza delicious. Patatas braves good, rosemary fries so tasty but tepid temperature and seemed like we got the dregs. Arugula salad good. I had two diet cokes. $5 each can. I’ve never paid $5 dollars at a restaurant for a Diet Coke.

I enjoyed my meal of tapas at Brava. They accommodated our group of 8 easily and the service was fantastic. If I ever return to Lenox, I will be back to visit.

Best restaurant of our Berkshires trip so far. Friendly, buzzy, with a great wine list. We had a Franciacorta bubbly (yum), great fried calamari, an intriguing arugula, salad with sherry vinaigrette, and a wild mushroom pizza. Often white pizzas are boring, but the fontina cheese is on this one gave it a great depth offlavor.

Brava offers slightly elevated bar food of inconsistent quality along with uneven service, but has a relaxed atmosphere and generally pleasant staff.
We enjoyed our meal, but it wasn't anything to write home about. There is little craft or creativity to any of the food -- in conception, execution, or presentation -- but it does come out promptly and hot from the kitchen. As an example of what we found to be common level of inconsistency, one of my lamb chops was cut very thin and consequently overcooked and tough, while the other was very thick and pleasantly medium-rare and tender. Even dishes that are generally hard to mess up, like our tomato soup and steamed mussels, were just surprisingly uninteresting in their flavors -- the seasoning wasn't quite right. The bar is also not fully stocked (you won't be able to order certain mixed drinks), and top-shelf bourbons are just run-of-the-mill. The service is pretty uneven, mainly because no one is paying attention to you as a guest (servers alternate fluidly), and as a result no one ever checked in on us and we had to wave someone down to order dessert after a really long wait when it wasn't busy at all. The dessert -- an espresso chocolate mousse -- was actually pretty good, as were the caffè americanos we ordered with it. In fact these were the highlights of our meal. And this mediocre experience of course commanded high Lenox prices...but that's to be expected.
All-in-all we don't have much of a reason to choose Brava again, and we wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they're looking for a late snack and everything else in Lenox is closed. Sadly, overall Brava sort of feels like a mid-level restaurant chain that has stopped paying attention to both its customers and its food.

We had multiple tapas dishes, and they were all wonderful. I highly recommend the tomato soup. It sounds simple, but the pesto takes it to the next level! The service was good, and the quiet atmosphere was pleasant and welcoming.
Some of the best bartenders in the area and definitely in Lenox. Go to spot with phenomenal atmosphere and vibe. Been coming here for years and if you want a place that’s small bites that matter with killer drinks this is the place! Ask for the espresso martini, it’s legit!!

Such a cozy night experience! The staff was super attentive, food was incredible! (If you’re a bread lover get the bread and butter) the lamb chops w the mint sauce was my favorite, so tender. Great wine list, limited cocktail list. Outdoor seating is so cute!

My wife and I stopped in for Valentine’s Day last night and were reminded why Brava is the best restaurant in the Berkshires. We have been three times and every time we go we are impressed. Initially we were hesitant, thinking it would be over priced but it is always less expensive than we expected. Pizzas, wings, and the bread pudding were the favorites this time. 10/10.
