NEW: Bravo Bistro in Providence to Close Permanently Due to Coronavirus Crisis Wednesday, March 25, 2020 "It is with a heavy heart and much sadness that we have to announce the terrible news that Bravo Bistro will not be reopening our doors due to the Coved-19 virus. Even after the effects of this devastating virus ends, Bravo will remain closed. We as the Bravo family thought losing our owner, mentor and dear friend Fred Goodwin to his battle with cancer would be the hardest obstacle we would have to face as a family.

We hosted an after-wedding celebration on the second floor of Bravo this past weekend which was an absolute success. Leading up to the event, staff were prompt with communication and extremely accommodating. They were extremely flexible regarding customization of our bar offerings. Pricing was extremely fair. Our guests kept commenting over and over again that the second floor was a perfect space for a cocktail-style party. No one waited but a minute to get a drink and we had around 100 people in attendance. We would choose to have our party here again in a heartbeat. Thanks Bravo!

Eh. Upside- online reservations. We all know I love making a brunch reservation without having to talk to anyone or wait in a que. that's an upside. Downside- they were out of half the things on the menu. No lobster, ok we can live with that. Then no hash....no hash...at brunch? On a Saturday? How do you run out of that. If you're gonna have it on the menu weekly, have the ingredients especially on Saturday morning! I've never seen upstairs but downstairs was fine. Nothing special about the atmosphere. Will definitely come here for any only thing, not for anything fancy or special. Parking is street so I don't love that but the place is easy to find and within walking distance to all the theaters. Overall, it was ok. Other places to choose that are better but others are worse. You'll have an ok time and an ok meal.

We tried this restaurant for the first time on Thanksgiving. It was pretty good. They had a traditional turkey & stuffing Thanksgiving plate along with other choices if you wanted something different. The service was good and the atmosphere nice. We would like to try this restaurant again when it's not a holiday.

Made reservations for 7@4 o'clock for a birthday dinner. Get to the restaurant and they tell us they are sorry but the reservation wasn't recorded. We showed them the phone call to the restaurant and they kept asking well who did you talk to. Needless to say they told us too bad so sad. How the handled it was horrible. Not let's fit you in not here's a coupon for a drink. Nothing. Mind you there wasn't anyone sitting at any of the tables. Very bad business. Will not be going back

Murder Mystery plus dinner... Cast is extremely talented and funny! Audience participation brings family and friends to their knees with laughter. Food was excellent. Great night out. You won't be disappointed.

Just called the restaurant simply to ask when they have buck a shuck. Person answering was not even sure what that is, then told me it's on Fridays and then could not answer what time this takes place and when asked if he could find out the time info on that he RUDELY told me he did not know, told me to check the website and refused to find out for me. When I expressed my displeasure about him not giving me the info he told me that I was being rude to press him for the info.........as though HE was being inconvenienced with the question and said he does not get paid enough to be asked to find out and HUNG up on me! HORRIBLE behavior for someone answering the phone being asked a simple question! It would NOT have been tough for him to find out and be of assistance to a potential NEW patron!

Staffing was the best part. We visited in mid December. Manager/owner was cordial and helped our group with a perfect table for us. Taylor was such a kind server. Helpful/patient with all ages, got everything right and checked on us in just the right way. Couldn't recommend her more highly. Besides being friendly the staff was proactively suggesting any way to help including holding leftovers for later and even staying open later if a group of us wanted to return for dessert after a show.
I found a spot I'd love to frequent! The ambiance of the bistro was what won me over. The lighting, the warm greeting from our hostess/server. Everything was amazing. I ordered the Bravo Burger and it came with fries and whatever fixings you wanted. The burger was grilled to absolute perfection and the fries were crispy and seasoned deliciously. Simple yet extravagant. My friend ordered the Bravo Steak Sandwich and thoroughly enjoyed it with some A1 and the fries that came with it. I believe our servers name was Olivia and she was absolutely amazing and made my dining experience truly amazing. I'll definitely be coming back.

I had a great time for one of their murder mystery dinners! My only suggestion is to reconfigure the seating to be a bit more comfortable and conducive to watching the show (the seats were back to back so half the people had to turn to see the show. In addition there was about 1 seat too many at the large tables, so it was a bit cramped). The actors were fantastic. I'd love to know if they're employees there or are contracted for the show!

Went here for lunch during a recent trip to Rhode Island with my wife and had an ok experience. My wife wanted to get the lobster mac & cheese and I was going to get the lobster club but the server informed us that they were out of lobster that day which was very disappointing. I wish we had known that prior to sitting down. My wife and I very much look forward to fresh seafood when we are in town and this was a letdown for us. My wife opted for the pastrami sandwich and I selected the reuben sandwich which were both tasty. We both enjoyed the meal that we had, but would have preferred the seafood options if it was available to us.
