"We dined with a group of nine parents who were in town for a volleyball tournament. Everyone enjoyed the food, wine, drinks, and service. It is a great place to enjoy an excellent meal. The menu has lots of good choices. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. There are nice wines for $28-$35 a bottle and the bar serves some excellent drinks.
I always recommend that anyone visiting Providence have at least one dinner at Bravo!"

"Food and service were very good but it was very loud! I don't know if it's the accoustics or we just happened to be between noisy parties but it was hard to have a conversation. I really enjoyed my sole meuniere though and delicious bread and whipped butter. We split apple crisp for dessert which was just ok. Good place if you want a lively atmosphere but not if you're looking for quiet, romantic dinner."

"Well, there was nobody here. Odd for a Fiday night. We llove Bravo..for beore or after Trinity or Civic center. Sometimes the vallet is stressed and can be a bit over the top but ignore Him and leave the car. Food from sandwiches to meals. Nice wine list. I had my usual,Croque Madame which was too much to eat but made a nice snack next night."

"Bravo is a great place to enjoy dinner before or after a show at Trinity Rep, Lupo's, or the Dunkin Donuts Center. A diverse menu that let's you choose a quick, inexpensive meal of sandwiches or burgers all the way up to a fine dining experience of grilled steaks, surf and turf and other full meals. The atmosphere is always lively and the dining crowd is usually mixed including college students, theatre goers, couples and business diners."

"This was our first visit to Bravo Brasserie, prior to attending PPAC. My wife ordered the Roast Duck a l'Orange and I ordered the Atlantic Cod. Both dishes were wonderful! The couple with us both ordered the Penne in Pink Vodka Sauce, one with chicken, one with shrimp, and they both enjoyed their dishes, too. At our next visit to PPAC, we will be back!!!"

"I went to Bravo on Valentines Day, the downstairs lounge was moderately busy and had a good vibe. We dined upstairs, I was very impressed with the atmosphere, the ambience was perfect for a romantic dining experience. The staff was friendly and attentive without being overly intrusive. The food was a little disappointing, with such a great atmosphere maybe I was expecting better ( I should mention the dessert was outstanding). I will definitly be back to try again, maybe I will try apps and sandwiches this time. If you havn't been you should try it."

"We like the opportunity to leave the car with the vallet while attending Trinity, PPAC or Civic Center event, sometime catching a quick drink at the bar before the event then eating dinner after the event. Meals run from burgers and sandwiches to steaks, etc. Wine choices are quite good and staff is always helpful . Often you are eating with the Trinity cast members who come to relax after the performance which adds a bit of excitement. So, good food, nice wine list, fair prices, incredible convenience....what more could you ask?"

"My date and I had spent Valentines Day at Bravo Brasserie and it was astonishing. The moment we walked in, you could feel the love in the air. The lights were dim, due to the little candle, and xmas lights set around the restaurant. The service was fast, helpful and charming. Our food was impeccable and was executed in an appropriate time frame. My only comment is that the tables were a bit too close from one another. This by default, made it a bit awkward when it was to have a conversation, since you could hear what the other person was saying and they as well."
