I just came back from a delightful 90 minutes of delicious wine, beautiful food, and lovely chat with the staff. I was on my own, but I didn’t feel lonely at all!

This is a great spot for wine, so having a hard time reviewing our experience for the Valentine’s Day fixed menu they offered. Our wine was great, server was great and atmosphere was great. However, we did the valentines fixed menu and it was the most expensive meal we have had (including Michelin star restaurants we have been to) and it was possibly the worst meal we have had (excluding the scallop crudo, that was actually very good). To be clear, we are not frugal with food and have no problem spending money on a nice meal, but our bill ended up being $375 which seems extraordinarily high considering the quality. I would go back for drinks, but never order food again.

We had the Valentine's Day prix fixe menu. The food had some inconsistencies. Salad was quite good. Risotto was served quite cold. When we asked for it to be warmed up, another one lukewarm was provided in its place. All in all not a bad meal, but for $325 and an automatic 20% gratuity, my expectations were high and it didn't quite deliver. It was a busy night and I think they were trying hard — wishing them continued success.

This was our second time at Bravado, the first being an impulse drop in for a glass of wine as we were walking by sometime last summer. Both experiences we've had were fantastic. Wonderful service, delicious food. The design and small, intimate vibe give the space such a great feel. It was quiet during our first visit and we got chatting with our server about an upcoming vacation. She had actually lived where we were going and took the time to write out multiple pages of recommendations. We pretty much did everything she suggested so she basically curated our whole trip. I only mention it to underscore the next-level service and personal touch. Our recent visit was for Valentine's Day dinner. It was menu fixe and we opted for the raw scallops option. The scallops were served on a creamy bed that was almost like a whipped feta but our server described it as something else (I can't remember what). This dish also included sliced grapes, which was not something I'd have ever expected to be paired with scallops but so, so good. They have a scallop dish on their standard menu that doesn't seem to be quite what we had but I could be wrong. One of the desserts we got was a chocoloate mousse with flaked salt and drizzled with olive oil. Again, totally unexpected with the olive oil but it very much worked. Overall, both our experiences at Bravado were 10/10 and we will absolutely be back.

Was happy to try a new experience for Valentine's Day but left feeling overcharged and underwhelmed for what received, we are by no means frugal when ir comes to fine dining, and wouldn't complain usually. Long waits between dishes and drink refreshments, seating felt cramped. The mushroom risotto was the star of the show for us but wasn't enough to redeem a $350 bill that included a 20% auto gratuity.

Great place to have a quiet conversation! Cole and Alana are awesome hosts. Bravado has an impressive wine selection from Piedmont and other regions in Spain and Italy. Highly recommend!

Yes to Bravado! One of my new favourite places. The service? Top tier! The food? Absolutely smashing! The atmosphere? Welcoming and cozy. I highly recommend and will be one of my staple venues, especially when hosting friends.

Nice neighborhood spot. Service was great but I was disappointed they didn't have a few more wine options by the glass.
Kristen
Service from Kayley was impeccable. She made excellent recommendations for wine selections based on our individual taste as well as wine pairings with our food. Despite it being busy, it felt like we had her full attention and she didn't forget a thing. Impressive and super charming. The food was great - love the scallop crudo and the fish tin. Will be back!
Renée
Fantastic neighbourhood spot in the North End to grab a great glass of wine and enjoy a small but excellent menu of shareable plates. Great service rounds out the experience.
Tara
We had a date night at Bravado & we really enjoyed it! The staff were friendly, helpful & attentive. The food was great & we enjoyed trying different wines by the glass. The ambiance was perfect- it is nicely decorated, it was lively enough for a positive energy without being too loud, and still felt cozy & intimate. We will be back soon.
