    Bacon Burger
    Laura R.

    We live in NJ and were up in the area with local friends. Ally was a server and she was absolutely delightful and patient with our group. The apps were very good and I was thrilled they had Poutine on the menu. The drinks were delicious as well and as you can see by the pictures they gave me the extra. I don't have a picture of the cucumber collins but someone else had it and it was delicious. The entrees were good and plentiful. They have lots of live entertainment throughout the week. There is also outside seating available. In the dining room is a large fireplace. Comfortable setting. Enjoyable and relaxing evening. We were not rushed. There is plenty of parking.

    went in on a saturday night, the band was setting up for over an hour and a half (got in at 6 30, left at 8, heard maybe 10 minutes of vamping). i got a funguy burger and my dad got a smash burger, no one ever came around to ask how our food was, and we had to ask anyone who dared walk past for help. might be better on another night but it was tough!!

    The food is actually pretty good but when I first got my pasta, it had random sauce that I didn't order. Other than that it was good.

    Thought we would give this place a try. Had the special burger and a pesto pizza. I would say both were terrible. Service was marginal.

    Had a great Cobb salad. Can't wait to get another one. Other dishes looked great. Decor was nice and clean.

    The old "idle hour"…read more First time ordering pizza from here and it was okay. I think I would prefer to go in next time and grab a bar seat or table and eat in house. We also ordered their Caesar Salad which was good. I do remember this spot before it was Drifters and it was called Idle Hour which I loved so much. But I will say I am excited that a new pizza spot is now in its place. I think my next time that I try this will be physically at the restaurant. My only concern is that it is very loud. It is a great place to go watch sports for sure!

    Grabbed drinks here with a friend on a Saturday night and wow was it busy!…read more There was live music when we first walked in so the ambiance was quite loud... like I could barely hear myself let alone hold a conversation. The place itself was small too so the music really overpowered everything. But once the live music wrapped up the vibes were good! Not too loud that I was screaming over it, but still lively. I got the Heart of Stone which was delicious! Not too sour or sweet, but was definitely a strong cocktail. I had 3/4 of it and I was already feeling it. My friend got an Old Fashioned and she was a big fan! It went down quite smoothly and tasted good too. For $14 a drink, it was a little pricy but honestly I've seen places in Boston charge more. I would recommend coming here to grab drinks but maybe not a spot to catch up because of how loud it was. Would love to try their food as it looked pretty good!

Sylvain made me a delightful Sidecar worthy of my vintage vibe, and he's just a great all around bartender! The fried calamari salad was spectacular and the mussels and grilled bread are becoming recurring favorites. Met some lovely folks (and fellow Vivo fans) at the bar tonight. It's a special place when total strangers can enjoy food and drinks and conversation.

    Dropped in on a Tuesday night. No reservation. Had 45 minutes to order and eat!…read more Seated promptly in the bar area, which was busy for a Tuesday night in my mind. About 25 tables, but not tightly packed. Felt like an Italian restaurant where you might just share with the table nearest you. I could order nearly anything on the menu. Awesome and terrible with a time crunch! We started with the focaccia bread, which was delicious. We saved some and I'm eating it now. Then it was Splitsville: I mean we split a salad, bolognese and chicken parm. Garden/House Salad was described as fresh, what the kitchen could get, flavorful and colorful. It was all those things and didn't disappoint. Chicken parm was not fried. Was Bell & Evans chicken breast not beat to hell. Was plump, juicy and flavorful. Maybe the best I've ever had. Bolognese was equally good. I'm glad we split everything so we could each try a number of different options. We were out on time and never felt rushed if you can believe it. Excellent service and pacing to go with the excellent food.

    What a delicious and affordable gem of an Italian place!…read more I've visited 3x in 3 months, and Brava Cucina always hits the mark. Logistics: garbage parking is free, convenient, and available- we missed it the first time! Streetside was easy too. Ambience: perfect for a gathering with friends or a professional meal or even a date night! Music is at a tasteful volume Value: Unbelievable. $36 for an a foccacia, app, and entree is such a steal in this economy; available every day! The entree portions were sizeable as well! Food: everything from the focaccia to the salads, pastas, pork milanese, desserts, and drinks were wonderful. Speedy and kind service. Would highly recommend coming in a crew to try as many menu items!

Lots of locals so make a rez for the lounge and hope to get moved to the bar. Josh was chatty and super friendly but soon got slammed (he doubled as waitstaff?) so you might not get his full attention as things get busy. All the Staff is lovely. Loved the meatballs, broccolini, melon & prosciutto, Verdi salad and grilled bread. My salmon entree was yummy. My date's pork Milanese was crispy and juicy. If you are looking for diabetic friendly sides to swap, not so many options. Everything was delicious. I tried the zero proof Buona Sera and it didn't agree with me so they swapped it out for a real espresso martini. The low ABV bicycle thief was delightful!

The restaurant is decorated well, seems clean, and is dark with big windows on two of the walls. Server was okay. He seemed to have a lot of tables, but we were able to get his attention whenever needed. The manager seemed to be floating around the restaurant all night. He checked on us truly as we took our first bite of the first appetizer, then not again. We split the 2 for $50 weeknight special, which was a good deal. The elote dip was okay. It came out luke warm and honestly tasted like a can of creamed corn. We both agreed that warmer and with a little kick/spice would have been better. I can't remember what the second app was, but it was a fried beef and potato appetizer. It was very tasty, but very oily. We were wiping our hands between each bite. The Arroz Chaufa was very tasty and a good size. Unfortunately the plantains that came with it were extremely salty. Cocktails I tried the En Claro and Maldiablo. The En Claro was okay, I expected it to be sweeter than it ended up being. Maldiablo was very tasty and I would drink again. My husband got the sangria that had not been mixed prior to serving, so the first sip was all brandy and otherwise just okay. Overall the food was good but the drink prices seemed steep. $50 for two people to eat was a good price, but we spent just as much in 3 drinks and really only truly enjoyed one of the three.

I reached out to them months ago to explore using them for the welcome party for my wedding. After dozens of calls, emails, instagram messages AND even going IN-PERSON to speak to someone, their event organizer never responded. We followed up numerous times and not once, did we get a formal follow-up. It look messages on 3 different social media channels for me to finally get an answer. When we did, the organizer ghosted us AGAIN! When I followed up with her (now having her phone number) we set a date to call. She could not figure out how to send me the event details, she did not have very many answers to our questions - we got a ton of, "I need to ask the owner". She promised to give us an update to our questions, and NOTHING. The kicker is that she even ignored my follow up text asking for an update. She ended up texting me accidentally - the text was to her coworker asking them if they can let her inside because she was locked out!! So incredibly unprofessional, they do not seem to care for our business even though we were so excited to potentially have our event there. Would not recommend - try back maybe in a couple years when they can get better customer service and more organized.
