    The food and service is amazing, everything we ordered was delicious! Drinks were tasty, apps and meals were great, but the start of the show was the crème brûlée was amazing! Save room for dessert!

    Great place to grab French cuisine and excellent drinks. Nice modern atmosphere. Service as expected at a bar.

    Chillin' in the Whiskey Room

    Fantastic!!! Family event (my triplets 25th birthday) in private room. From the moment the 9 of us arrived, we were treated like royalty. Love the atmosphere/vibe. Staff was attentive and super knowledgeable! Drinks were spot on!! Wine recommendations with dinner were perfect!!! We called ahead with appetizers, and they were on the table when we arrived. Main dishes were amazing!!!!! We didn't want to leave!! Can't wait to go back!!

    It's a lovely spot with great ambiance for date night, but the food and service received is not reflected in the price point.

Didn't think we'd get a seat, but we did thankfully because it was a great experience!! Luv the atmosphere...comfy & casual Bartenders were polite, prompt & professional.

The Chicken Parmigiano was cooked perfectly, had excellent flavor, but for me there was not just not enough cheese. I like my chicken to be covered- or most of it. The pasta was excellent. So together for me, it's an 7/10. My friend 9/10. The Roman Salad- essentially a Caesar, had great dressing, but the huge dissapointment, was grated cheese. For $15, I want actual Parmesan. I won't be getting that again. We also got a Greek Salad, and 2 Add 1 Polpetti. I was told the salad was good, we couldn't add grilled chicken today because of issues on DoorDash, hence the Add 1 Polpetti. The only comment on the meatballs was that they came with no sauce- while they were tasty, they expected sauce. (Makes sense)?! Overall, the food was fresh, and flavorful. I am not sure if we would order again? For the cost, I expect more. They seemed super helpful, and friendly. Since this was delivery, I can't speak to ambiance!

    I wanted to share my wonderful experience at Bravo! restaurant after my wife took me there last…read morenight, December 12th, for my birthday. She had heard great things about it from her doctor, who called it the best restaurant in Manchester, NH. The restaurant is absolutely stunning, with beautiful decor and amazing colors. The establishment is spacious, featuring two full bar areas--one for reservations and one for walk-ins--and plenty of seating. The menu variety is enormous, covering seafood, steaks, pasta, and more. My seafood casserole was out of this world--fresh and delicious--and my wife's short ribs were outstanding, unlike anything I've tasted before. While I hesitate to give such high praise knowing how busy it will become, Bravo! truly deserves a standing ovation for such a wonderful night of food and service.

    I came here with my fiance and his family for his birthday and the holidays. I'll start by saying…read morethat my server Emily was wonderful. Very attentive, friendly, and upbeat! The ambiance and decor of the restaurant was very nice and modern, upscale. Bathrooms were also beautifully done! This is a newer restaurant in the area, and I think there are a few things to work on. We had a reservation for 7PM and arrived early (around 6:40PM) and waited for our table. We did not get seated until 7:25PM - the staff told us that the table that was supposed to be ours had been sitting there for a very long time. If you know you have a reservation coming, please consider a back up plan for things like this. The bread plate had a mix of baguette, sweet roll, dinner roll, and a few others. It came with a side of garlic herb butter which was nice. French onion soup came out piping hot with a great amount of Gruyère to soup ratio! We ordered the Chilean sea bass pad Thai, the sole special with orzo and asparagus, seafood casserole with a baked potato, and the crab and lobster stuffed haddock. Chilean sea bass - the fish was perfectly cooked, delicate, tender, and had a nice crust. My favorite fish of the night. The "pad thai" was more of a peanut noodle dish, the sauce had more peanut butter flavor than the classic tangy tamarind sauce you expect with pad thai. It would be more accurate had they had advertised it as peanut noodles instead. The daily special sole with vegetable orzo and asparagus had a very flavorful butter sauce with what looked like caramelized onions and herbs. The sole itself was not as tender as the sea bass, but the butter sauce really made it tasty. The vegetable orzo was also delicious and the asparagus was well cooked. It was our most expensive dish of the night at $74 (the others were more like $38-$45) Seafood casserole - I only tried a little bit, but my family thought it was tasty. It was served with a baked potato with butter and no other toppings and asparagus. They wished the baked potato came with more toppings or maybe a different choice of side would go better. The crab and lobster stuffed haddock unfortunately was cold by the time our food was served. Not much flavor in the fish or topping either. Some folks had some sediment in their wine, which may not necessarily be the restaurant's fault so much as the vineyard. When we were given the dessert menu, one of the menus was different from the others and turns out one of them was the old dessert menu that was supposed to be replaced. Not really a big deal by itself and again may have to do with being a newer restaurant. We got the eggnog cheesecake for our birthday dessert. Eggnog is not my favorite flavor, and the person who loves eggnog also did not enjoy the cheesecake which I was surprised about. It tasted about how I expected, if you like eggnog and cheesecake you'd probably enjoy it. Overall, I think a lot of small things sorta added up and unfortunately made it a mediocre experience (especially for a birthday dinner). I do think the restaurant has some promising food, and if they work through some logistical things I think it would be up there in best restaurants in the area.

This is really a sports bar so when you come here if there's any sports on you're going to I'll be hearing them on the PA system We had the smashburger and the taphouse Burger vote for quite delicious. An actual nice surprise were the quality of the default season prize. Definitely recommend giving it a try, especially for burgers, we will definitely come back to try other menu items.

    My spouse and I eat here a couple times a year, and we are nothing if not consistent: we only order…read morethe steaks. Because of that, I cannot responsibly speak on the rest of the menu--but the steak lane? I know it fairly well. As a fine-dining establishment, it delivers. There's a live piano player, which adds a nice touch... unless you're seated too close. Then essentially enjoying a very intimate dinner WITH the piano man. Loud. Distracting. A third wheel. Steak options are limited but solid. I usually order medium, especially for bone-in cuts. If you're going boneless, I recommend medium rare--trust me, this advice was earned the hard way. Our most recent visit, we passed on the bread. Not out of restraint, but because our metabolism no longer negotiates and has retired! Full stop, the bread is great, but aggressively filling. The waitstaff are pleasant, attentive without hovering, and knowledgeable about both the menu and the rotating specials. Wine pours aren't always perfect, but the staff knows the list well. Speaking of the wine list: it's decent, with the expected 300% fine-dining markup. Pro tip--skip anything you'd normally grab at your local liquor store and aim higher to justify the pain. The vibe is very old-school mafia boss: dark wood, leather chairs, crisp white linens, dramatic lighting, and strong film-noir energy. You half expect someone to whisper "take care of it" from a corner booth. IYKYK--especially the center half-moon booth off the main dining area, where you're on display for check-ins, coat check, and a steady stream of awkward eye contact. The bathrooms are clean, but not easily found if it's your first visit - basement vibes (think secret vault) where you may need a map. If you're celebrating an anniversary, birthday, or milestone and want subtle recognition--no singing, clapping, or secondhand embarrassment--this is your place. Pricing varies wildly depending on how hard you commit. For two people doing entrées and drinks, plus tip, expect anywhere from $150 to $320. Choose your adventure accordingly. Enjoy celebrating, date night or like us, a nice evening out.

Additionally she gave us real suggestions for popular food items on the menu (not just the stereotypical suggestions that also happen to cost the most) and was a breath of fresh air to have a honest and friendly waitress after a long day.
