Let me start first by saying this is one of our favorite restaurants in Raleigh. The food and drinks are always delicious. For this particular visit, the service was not the best. We didnt have to wait long for our waiter to greet us and take our order, which is always consistent here. The difference with this visit is once our order was placed. We waited for 30 minutes before my husband got up to find our waiter, but ended up talking with the general manager. Then is when our waiter came to the table to acknowledge the unusual long wait. He proceeded to tell us that the expo person was not doing a good job. Because we weren't expecting the service to be as slow as it was, we told our waiter we did have a time constraint. Which didnt seem to put any more urgency to getting our food out. We did end up getting our small plates but had to get our entree boxed up. Overall this visit wasn't the greatest experience, but we will still be back as we love this place.

The wine options were great. The dim sum was delicious and well prepared. Presentation was so cute. The decorations and ambience were perfect. The host and waiter were very helpful and kind. The only difficult thing was finding parking near the restaurant.

Good time but the food was cold when it came to table/ had to refuse the green beans as they were cold. Duck and fish entrees both were too cold -just luke warm. They were packed so the food probably sat for 5-10mins waiting for server to get it from kitchen . Server Kaitkinn was very sweet and attentive, just overworked with too many tables!

The food is always incredible here, and the servers are so caring and attentive. Will come back here over and over again

Julia H. was an absolute standout at Brewery Bhavana. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she took the time to make sure everything was exactly right without ever making us feel rushed. Julia has that rare balance of professionalism and genuine friendliness that instantly elevates the entire dining experience. She turned a great meal into a memorable one. Brewery Bhavana is lucky to have her, and we'll definitely be back—hopefully with Julia as our waitress again!

Good experience, we tried 9 different items on the menu. In general good experience, not blown away by any of the dishes but would come back.

What a great visit, despite not booking the staff were incredibly accommodating and managed to squeeze us in. Drinks and food were fantastic - would recommend the crab soup dumplings and cucumber salad. Thanks to our server Chase for a great visit.

Such a cool spot in downtown Raleigh! The vibe here is amazing- stylish, cozy, and full of character with the mix of brewery, flower shop, and dim sum restaurant all in one. The food is always on point — love the pork buns, dumplings, and moon cake dim sum.
Their Matcha San cocktail is my favorite smooth, creamy, and not too sweet. The staff is always friendly, and it’s just a fun place to hang out. Definitely one of my favorite spots downtown!

The atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing, the service is always warm, and the food is incredible. My absolute favorite is the pork & chive shumai — perfectly seasoned, tender, and so flavorful. Pair it with one of their unique craft beers and it’s an amazing experience every time. Highly recommend!
