BRAVA!

This was an incredible dining experience. I made the reservation through open table and also through the arscht website just in case. I celebrated my 30th birthday eating here and watching Hamilton. The food was incredible and had such a unique flavor not often found in Miami. We ordered the short rib wellington, the lamb osso buco, two desserts, and a tortellini that we devoured without taking a picture of. The service was amazing as well, my only complaint, which isn't a large one, and I didn't mention it while there, was that the server at one point rushed over because he thought I was trying to share the actual bone of the lamb with my boyfriend... as if we were too simple to understand that was a lamb bone? I found that a bit insulting but i figured because we were asking questions about the menu that he found us to be ignorant. I just like to know exactly what I am about to enjoy and I truly did enjoy it. I just feel like he should be wary of how he can be condescending to paying customers who want an experience, no matter if we seem ignorant or not. Another thing I noticed was that there was a white wine, Maculan, listed under "port" wine. It was still delicious but I was expecting something like the tawny. The Manager was very sweet and even took the desert off for the occasion, which we did not ask for considering I mentioned nothing to anyone while there. I would definitely go back but probably dress in my finest or in a ball gown, possibly, to avoid looking like a homeless person. Didn't think i looked it but who knows. The server was not rude per se but that was very off putting. Other than that, everyone else was very sweet and kind and again the food is definitely worth the price. Our bill with gratuity was around 237, and was lowered to 220 after one of the two deserts was taken off. I would gladly pay it again without the bones comment.

We went before seeing bjork on February 13th and Frederick Masson was amazing with us. He let us try different wines before buying our bottle, gave us amazing suggestions on the food, and it felt like such a comfortable dining experience. We had the chicken liver pate, the steak with fries, and the risotto with shrimp. We were celebrating my birthday as well and everything came out delicious. I will 100 percent keep going back ESPECIALLY if Mr. Masson is in charge.

From the moment we walked in, to the smile on our faces when we walked out, this is a 5 star experience both for food and service. The decor is a bit drab...all gray and neutral tones. Needs a splash of color like royal blue kr purple drapes (high ceilings)...but I get it. Started with a dirty Chopin martini with bleu cheese stuffed olives. We ordered the NY Strip Tartar sans cucumber and garlic, sauce on the side. The meat was chopped as it should be and the sauce turned out to be less garlicky than we thought. Deliciously fresh but slightly over salted. The brioche and umami butter was addictive. Before our mains came out, the chef offered a complimentary dish. It's the signature dish from Alter. The scallop creme, caviar and truffle with a soft egg at the bottom. I'm sure my description is off but I can tell you this was one of the most delicious and decadent dishes I have ever tasted. We mopped it up with the soft brioche. AmazIng. The red drum was pan seared and had crispy skIn served on a gorgeous orange purée which I was too mesmerized to ask and didn't remember what the menu description said since I was still woozy from the soft egg dish!! The dish was exquisite. It was Brava's version of a deconstructed bouillabaisse. I had the osso bucco which was tender and had a silky wine sauce poured over it tableside. It also came with a sheet of pesto which was a nice addition. I didn't care for the pesto stuffed romaine. The meat had a little too much salt. But I happen to like that. If you are salt sensitive, you may ask the waiter to go easy on the salt although that request usually does not yield good output from most kitchens. Dessert was a toffee creation that any description wouldn't do it justice. A beautiful plate and several flavors that combined for the perfect dish. Cappuccino was a perfect ending. Thank you to the staff for making this a 5 star experience and my compliments to the chef!

Service was good, food was good. Overpriced but your paying for excellent presentation, and convenient location. $325 dinner for two? You decide.

The New Brava @ Adrienne Arsht Center, broke the mold from the history of the previous places in that same location. I will be back there next time in Miami. I had the Ricotta Agnoletti for the appetizer, tasty, balanced, nice appetizer, stimulating and not too much. Had me wanting more and ready for the entree. For dinner I had the Braised Lamb Shank Bourguignon, which was delicious, had a lot going on in terms of flavor and texture. The Lamb fell off the bone. The New "Brava" is definitely worth a stop if you are up for a fine dining experience. When you stop by to see the menu, stick your head in the door so you can smell the deliciousness in the air.

Excellent exotic food ! Service was stellar . Beautiful setting!

I just wanna mention that I used to go to BRAVA RESTAURANT because it was convenient before a show and I see a lot of shows. I was just there and only the name is the same. It was one of the best meals I have had and the presentation was beautiful. Apparently they had just opened up the day before… And they definitely have their act together and the food is outstanding. I highly recommend the new BRAVA. Forget the one that was there before because that was always disappointing FREDERIC MASSON, was excellent and I only wish I could remember the servers name and she was wonderful. I’ll see you for all the shows this year

Not like most restaurants in the Magic City, Brava is , in our experience, where food is nothing more than artistry. Flavors one would not otherwise experience; and presentations that deserve to be photographed. While the selection is modest, there is something for everyone, but one must ask as what the menu is describing may not be evident. Prices are on par for inside a theatrical performance building, in short, you may spend in the upper ranges, and portions are not overwhelming, but within reason. Keep in mind, this restaurant operates in a performance venue, so it is not a place for a quick bite. Give yourself time to enjoy one of the most exquisite dining experiences the city has to offer.

We really wanted to love this place. But unfortunately it was underwhelming. My grandma wanted to have dinner here before the ballet. Filet mignonette tartar appetizer was ok at best. All of our entrees were okay at best actually. My salmon came with a yucca purée but honestly.... Mashed potatoes would've been just fine. Was not into the gooey, sticky purée. Can't complain about the service but it wasn't over the top either. Our favorite things were the parm fries (which were on the salty side) and the complimentary bread. In conclusion, pretty pricey for a lukewarm experience. I really think they need a new chef.

If you're looking for an upscale dining experience, look no further than this restarurant. Run by the incomparable Chef Brad Kilgore, the food here is phenomenal. Coming into the restaurant, you'll see how small and intimate it is, but that's standard from his restaurants, Alter and Kaido. I came with my sister before going to see a show and we ended up sitting at the bar. I knew that we probably wouldn't be able to get an entree because sat late, but that just gives us an excuse to come back. We started off with the Brava Brioche with umami butter, and it just melted in our mouth. Our bartender, Alex, recommended that we get the Brava soft egg to accompany the brioche, and thank god we did! The combination was to die for. The soft egg has so many complex flavors and its so appealing to the eye, we fell in love with it. We also had the raviolo, which tasted so creamy and delicious, I wanted another one for my own. The service was great, the bartender was very knowledgeable about the dishes and gave us great suggestions. The food came out pretty quick which was great since we didn't want to be late for our show. Can't wait to come back and try the other great dishes this restaurant has to offer!

Don't bother, save your money, I feel violated and insulted! Not only are the portions ridiculously small and expensive, but the flavor in both our dishes certainly did not warrant the price. Also, I guess Brad Kilgore thinks diners can't add, as he finds it necessary to include a 20 % tip. Why??????i know how to add and I know how to tip, thank You very much! What if i wanted to tip more? Now I don't want to anymore, how's that? Did I mention the hostess, Wednesday Adams? She has the personality of a wet mop. Wait until I post the $13 salad , three limp piece of lettuce drenched in Caesar dressing. I will not waste my time going into details, I have already wasted an evening and too much money, and anyway a picture says a thousand words....and our indigestion will last all night!

This is the restaurant at the Adrian Arsh center. If there is a well attended show, you may need reservations ahead of time. We went during the week, and we were able to walk in and sit right down. For big shows or weekends, I would definitely recommend reservations. The food aspires to be something simulating fine dining. It is not fine dining. But it certainly gives the air of fine dining. It is playing the part of fine dining. We had a beet salad that was actually very good. I think they called it a beet carpaccio. We followed it up with Atlantic salmon pan seared on a bed of yucca mash. That was something along the order of what you would get in an airport club. The Cacio e pepe was likewise just fine, but certainly nothing to write home about. Service was actually fairly good, although the food seem to be a bit slow. The ambience leaves something to be desired. The dining room is handsome enough, but it clearly has the commercial carpeting and feel of what it is common basically a concessionaire on steroids. All in all, it is a convenient and fun place to try if you were already attending a show. I would not recommend a special trip just to dine here.

Located inside de the Arsht Center downtown Miami... great place for wine tastings and very amicable. Parking is outside in the street and you can pay by phone . Staff was very helpful and smiling... something I did like! MIchael was also very attentive and responsive... The place is nice has a nice bar area and for this tasting, very appropriate. Will come more often... Enjoy

This is a 3 1/2 star rating: We recently returned to Brava for a pre-performance dinner. The restaurant's decor remains the same: spacious, high ceilings with sleek design. The food quality is excellent. The veal chops we ordered were tender and perfectly prepared as requested. The sides: pecorino polenta foam and pesto topping on the veal chops were overly intense in flavor detracting from the veal chop in our view. The Barolo jus was excellent and made the dish. The menu is limited. The servers on the floor are excellent. A more welcoming tone at the front of the house would be a plus.

Service is worse than the food which is worse than the service. What a shame. Barton G had a better kitchen but some who didn't make it. The ambiance is nice and elegant enough pre opera or ballet. The staff is amicable but are clueless in a series of mishaps that run the gamut of possible blunders. Unexciting and bleh

Beautiful restaurant, service was very good . The food was outstanding, Started with the soft egg so many flavors in one bowl add the brioche for dipping . It will not disappoint. Short rib beef Wellington amazing comes with a light sauce to pour around the side everything about it was delicious pastry shell had a light crunch and the short rib melted in your mouth the duxelles inside added to the a non traditional Wellington it was perfect . My husband had the striped bass which had a crispy skin and puttanesca sauce light and flavorful. The dessert a deconstructed Black Forest cake had the flavors of the cake layered inside but the out side was like a little Forest simply beautiful. Full bar and nice wine list Bravo to Brava

So last Saturday night I posted a review with one star because despite having a reservation, BRAVA was closed when we arrived. We went back tonight and the meal was wonderful. We had the heirloom tomato and the ricotta anglotti for appetizers and the halibut and rib eye steak for main courses. All were wonderful. Also had the key lime cube for dessert. The service and ambience were wonderful and I look forward to going back.

From the moment we walked in, to the smile on our faces when we walked out, this is a 5 star experience both for food and service. The decor is a bit drab...all gray and neutral tones. Needs a splash of color like royal blue kr purple drapes (high ceilings)...but I get it. Started with a dirty Chopin martini with bleu cheese stuffed olives.

Definitely a convenient option if you're opting to spend a little more than usual and be in-house for your performance, but is it worth it? Meh. At $49 per person, I could've probably enjoyed a more memorable meal somewhere else. I started off with the Strawberry Fields Salad- but it's a tiny portion and you probably get about 5 walnuts so I wasn't impressed with course #uno. For the main dish, I preferred the way the snapper was prepared and chose to switch it up and order the Grilled Salmon with the mango relish and coconut scented jasmine rice that usually gets paired with the snapper. Not sure if that idea was a total fail because it all sounded much more impressive that it tasted for me. The flavors didn't burst out and I felt the main dish in general was bland and not as flavorful. Dessert was flan but with an orange zesty flair and again; not impressed. Waiter was honest and would offer suggestions on menu, but many of the items he'd say things were unpopular or "not that good" so the experience overall felt exactly like the sad fish on my plate. A few positives: The restaurant has nice décor, nice lighting, nice ambience, nice service....but other than it all being nice- there was nothing WOW for me and to make matters worse...I was hungry shortly after. So apart from being an unexceptional meal, it was also not much of a hearty one for me which is enough for me to know it's not my favorite option to choose from before a show.

What an excellent experience! From the fabulous host halim to chara the server. The customer service was wonderful, and i was excited to receive such amazing service, friendliness and great energy! The Short Rib Wellington and Lamb Shank, exceptional! I would suggest you check it out

Had dinner at BRAVA by Brad Kilgore prior to seeing a show at the Arsht Center on Wednesday evening. We ordered the Whipped Clam Chowder, Heirloom Tomato, Three Day Beef Rib, Gently Cooked Alaskan Halibut, and the Key Lime Cube. Quality I was absolutely delighted with Brad Kilgore's latest offering at BRAVA. Every dish presented is a beautiful work of art, but it was the flavor and the creativity that really make BRAVA special. The first dish served was the Whipped Clam Chowder, my least favorite dish, but still a bowl bursting with enough flavor to be on any menu. With a soft truffle taste and magnificent use of the clams, a very good place to start. The Heirloom Tomato was an absolute must order for me. Gorgeously presented, it combined bright and fresh pieces of tomatoes with delicious stracciatella cheese and droplets of acidity and sweetness. The Three Day Beef Rib was also magnificent and I believe a must try. Amazingly tender beef that melts in your mouth served with a heavenly sauce and mushroom. The Gently Cooked Alaskan Halibut was very delicious as well, but I regretted not going with the Poulet Rouge instead. The fish was very fresh and served with a combination of greenery including spinach, zucchini, and pistachio. It was light and flavorful, but lacked the lasting impact of the true highlight dishes. Then the meal came to its conclusion with a Key Lime Cube, another beautiful dish of a small key lime pie, surrounded by walls of toasted merengue, and topped with citrus and basil. The merengue added a unique texture to a delicious dessert, but I must admit I could have used more of the crust from the bottom. Quantity The portions are fair, but definitely slide towards the smaller side. This is not a restaurant you can expect heaping piles of food on your plate, but rather a unique approach focused on presentation and ones taste palate. Although I could have had more of everything I only felt cheated with the Three Day Beef Rib, but that may also be because it was my favorite dish. Value Delicious and artful cuisine does not come cheap, and Brava is not an exception. However, if you are going to splurge to see a show at the Arsht Center, why not spend a bit more and have a wondering dining experience beforehand. Ambiance Brava is located on the second floor of the Arsht Center in the west building. It is very obvious that every single element of the restaurant was careful crafted and designed to wow all the senses. The space itself is very elegant and gives you another reason to dress up if going to the theater or ballet was not enough. The ceilings are high, the lights are bright, and the artwork on the walls are highlighted. Most astounding is the gorgeous wall of white flowers almost tumbling downward that accents the far wall. Another small group of flowers also found its way above the bar area. Several other unique paintings fill in the rest of the space. The restaurant uses blue, white, and silver together magnificently. The music is classical and the mood is joyful. Crowd We visited Brava prior to seeing a show and the crowd was much in the same boat. Even though the show was less upscale than some of the events held at the Arsht Center, Brava still seemed to draw a sophisticated crowd. Coming directly from work I felt a bit underdressed in a decidedly middle-aged business elite dining area. Service I can't tell if it was intentional or not, but I do not believe we had the same person come to our table more than once. Each element of the meal seemed to be handled by someone different, but each person was charming and jovial. The staff seemed as excited about the food we ordered as we were and seemed to think there was no wrong choice on the menu. The service added to an already excellent experience. Parking When there is a show you can always choose to valet park at the Arsht Center. Otherwise you can find street parking west and north of the center. Be aware it is not necessarily the best or well lit area. You can also always also opt for the metromover, which is only a block away. Extra I found Brava to be a much more satisfying experience than Brad Kilgore's Alter. Every dish was its own masterpiece and the flavors were tremendous. The biggest problem is that being lodged in the Arsht Center, it really feels like a restaurant for show patrons. Even with how delicious everything was, I doubt I will be back unless in conjunction with an event, which is saddening to write. However, it is a must try for all food lovers in Miami.

Armed with tickets for Adele's premiere Miami concert, our party of four chose Brava for a perfect pre-show dinner. "Hello," a no-brainer, really. Arriving just a couple of minutes before our 6:00pm reservation, I checked in with the hostess. From the nearby doors, I could hear the jazzy sounds of piano keys coming off the speakers and setting the mood. I peeked inside and loved what I saw. The dining room beamed with an oasis of white-tableclothed tables. I felt a certain New York City or Chicago chic vibe not often found in South Florida. Dressed to the nines, diners sipped wine while the staff scurried here and there. Back outside, I had a brief moment of panic when my name couldn't be found on the reservation sheet. After diligently looking several more times, I showed the hostess my Resy app along with the reminder/confirmation texts I'd received as well. "Rumour has it," I happened to be one of about five diners whose reservations disappeared on the Resy system that night. It took a bit of scrambling and an additional fifteen minute wait to finally be seated. As the clock ticked, "we set fire to the (initial) rain" and studied the wine menu. The first wine off the list we requested wasn't available (Silver Oak) and neither was the second (Jordan). Because of this, our waiter suggested another wine -and long time favorite- from the same region (Caymus) but at a higher cost. After some back and forth, we were ultimately offered the Caymus bottle at the cost of the Jordan. Done. After ironing out the wine situation and placing our orders, our party finally exhaled and began to enjoy our night. Water and bread service began. Not just any bread: warm and wholesome Rosemary Focaccia by Chef Soraya Kilgore complemented by a duo of dreamy butters (olive oil & sea salt). Oh I how I loved thee. What I tried: Whipped Clam Chowder Ricotta Agnoletti Poulet Rouge Wahoo Poke Heirloom Tomato Dry Aged Ribeye for 2 Three Day Beef Rib HIT: The multidimensional Ricotta Agnoletti, presented simply and beautifully, wasn't officially my dish. My gracious girlfriend allowed me more than one bite; I just had to understand the flavor a little better with each one. Listing roasted miso, garlic scape, and braised beef as key ingredients, the agnoletti surprised with every (hearty and pillowy) bite. This is one I could easily double order as an entree in the future. The Whipped Clam Chowder (black truffle butter, potato puree, Florida clams, and celery root) and Whipped Potatoes (accompanying the Dry Aged Ribeye) brought the term "whip up something in the kitchen" to fruition: fragrant, buttery, and silky smooth. Wearing fancy heels or curled up on my favorite sofa spot in pajamas, I would blissfully choose these time and time again. MISS: Besides the initial reservation and wine issues upon arrival, the many food standing-ovation moments seemed to be overshadowed at times by additional service hiccups. Brava ran out of the Alaskan Halibut shortly after our arrival and a second bottle of wine was ultimately charged at full price...without disclosure. In addition (and to our astonishment), the wine bottle was repeatedly wiped with the waiter's bare hand. Ultimately, we chose to pour our own for the rest of the night. Our appetizers were held back so that they would "all be served at the same time." Still, they arrived in random order. Despite more than half of the tables emptying out by 7:00pm and leaving the mad rush behind, our main courses took a while to arrive. The Dry Aged Ribeye for Two was presented table side with the rest of the entrees, but then took a seemingly long time to be brought back out (after they took it away for slicing and replating). Of course, this meant we had to dissappointedly skip dessert. Time simply ran out. ==================================== Overall, I'm excited about the addition of Brava to the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts: mostly because I'm a fan of Chef Kilgore. But also, Miami's culinary landscape definitively needs more upscale dining options. We simply do not have enough. What about a return visit after some of the mishaps I experienced? Should I give up? Or should I just keep "chasin' pavements?" At this time, I don't feel comfortable returning for dinner if pressed for time. Even though pre-show dinners are the driving concept behind the restaurant, it seems Brava's not quite there yet. With additional attention to detail and time management, it will be. My next visit will be on a day when I can sip and taste at my leisure and hopefully enjoy the full experience. I don't think fine-dining is meant to be rushed, anyway. Until then, "I'll be waiting..."

What an amazing culinary experience we had tonight at Brava! Seriously, this place just jump to my top 5 places ever! I don't even know where to start... (1) We made reservations when we purchased tickets for a show online which made the whole process very seamless. (2) When we got there, we were greeted by a nice hostess and seated immediately. We made reservations 2 hrs before the show and it was perfect timing. (3) Once we sat down, our water preferences were taken and then we were greeted by the Sommelier: Michael. So nice and knowledgeable. He recommended a delicious champagne and checked in with us often. (4) Marcelo. Marcelito. Our new favorite waiter! What a guy! Super funny, attentive and literally answered every single question we had with a great attitude. I could go on and on about this guy! (5) Back to Michael. He chose the perfect wine pairings for our meals. Absolutely delicious! (6) The Food!!!! Chef Brad Kilgore really went above and beyond with this menu. So let's start with Appetizers: we had the heirloom tomato salad and the veal ravioli. Both beyond delicious! The watermelon with a kick is a surprising twist and the cheese really brings the plate together to give you a fresh salad. The ravioli: Uh-May-Zing!!! You can literally taste the freshness in the pasta. (7) Our entrees were the Prime Filet Mignon and the Ribeye. Both were exquisite. And those whipped potatoes, nothing like I've ever had in my life! We literally cleaned our plates in seconds! (8) Dessert: We ordered the key lime and the cheesecake. Both exceeded our expectations. I could not give you 1 con. This place is seriously under-rated! Whether you are watching a show or not, this place is a must! We will definitely be back, Michael and Marcelo!

Brava??? First time going in.. beautiful welcome by hostess, nice and attentive. Walked in the restaurant, smelled like a first class flight! Server comes and offer us a menu and fully explained the menu and the twist and turns which we love riding, when the food came it was an absolutely out of bloom experience, fancy and fine dining came together with exotic and modern style food ( the chefs killed the menu) . Not all that but after the awesome show at the center we weren't finish and went back to check out the bar . Gustavo served the perfect old fashion, not too sweet , just perfect . This place made my anniversary and night a dream! Kudos to you guys! Definitely coming back,

Opened during functions at the arsht center. Come before your shows and enjoy a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. The food pairings are beyond what you expect. The menu here rotates seasonally, you can pick anything on the menu without regret. All the options are exquisite. Chef Kilgore has an eye for details and taste. The brava burger tastes like a delicious bbq tailgate burger in a fancy setting. Super good! You can grab cocktails, beer and wine too. Get a cupcake or pana cotta for dessert.

OMG! This is a hidden gem of a restaurant! I don't even understand how they have anything less than 5 stars. The service is on point; they ask you if you are attending a how at the Arsht and they plan the timing of your meal around your tickets. The food was absolutely delicious! Funny thing is that we live a few blocks away and didn't even know this restaurant was inside of the Arsht. You do not have to attend a show in order to eat at the restaurant. They are only one of show nights, but it is definitely worth trying. We were fortunate enough to dine here for the last night of Hamilton. A must have is the Alter Soft Egg (see pics) - We would have never ordered this dish based on it's name, and the waitress explained to us that this dish is unique to the chef and out of this world! Wow, that was an understatement. We don't even know what to compare this dish to - it is truly one of a kind - it's not "eggy" - it is airy and fluffy, and the taste is so delicious - like a high end French dish. It is a must have - we are returning just for this dish!!!! I ordered the chicken piccata which was ok, and my husband ordered the Zaatar Dusted Lamb Ossobuco which was delicious. But hands down, order the Alter Soft Egg, it will not disappoint! The drinks were also very good. We recommend the Jungle Bird and Adrienne Margarita.

Stopped here for pre-theater drinks and small plates. Sat at the bar- Ricky was attentive and knowledgeable when it came to cocktails. Everything was delicious- from the lychee martinis to the mushroom tartlet. Glad we discovered it.

Not worth the cost! 'Frites' with every entree! Better to go to 'Outback Steakhouse'

It was my first time at this restaurant and I loved it! We took my mother here for her birthday before going to see Amadeus. The decor is beautiful and the ambience adds so much to the dining experience. We ordered the foie gras cannoli and the eggplant tartlet for appetizers. No words can describe how delicious and unexpected the cannoli was. The balsamic was something else. The whipped aged parmesan on the eggplant tartlet tasted unreal. I can still remember the taste of these two appetizers after almost two months. We ordered the Lobster Risotto Carbonara, Tagliatelle Bolognese and a fish entree (not sure if it was a special or the branzino) for our entrees. Everything was delectable, but the Lobster Risotto Carbonara was definitely a favorite. We all had clean plates at the end. Unfortunately, we had arrived a little late and had to go to the show so we didn't get the opportunity to have dessert. Needless to say, I will definitely be going back. *Tip to any guy trying to impress his girlfriend or wife: take her to this restaurant and a show afterwards. Very romantic.

So BRAVA! invited me to bring three guests to brunch! Of course, I yelped BRAVA! and responded in the affirmative. Three of my most critical foodie friends scrambled their schedules and confirmed our reservation! All of us have attended performances at Arsht Center; never dined at BRAVA! 3 out of 4 of us are directionally challenged. With staff support, three of us arrived a few moments late but were immediately seated. Gabby, manager, led us to our table and explained the brunch menu and drink options. Our waitress offered three water selections and addressed additional questions before we started our buffet run. Two of us ordered bottomless brunch drinks(20.00). They enjoyed!!! There was a large variety of breakfast and lunch entrees and side dishes. I enjoyed my all white vegetable and shrimp omelette. The fruit was seasonal and delicious. The single item that will make me return is the WAFFLE! I like it when the waffle is flavorful before I add my toppings. This beautiful vanilla waffle was so good that I only added toppings on half (maple syrup, dollop of whipped cream and fresh, yummy berries)....the second half was buttery, rich and delicious with no toppings! Perfect! We had a few minor mix-ups...a dirty water cup, something floating in our coffee creamer pitcher and my initial waffle was sent to another table (and they ate it!) ....thankfully, waitress was attentive and apologetic and quickly addressed issues...and we enjoyed our brunch immensely. We will definitely return, pick up a few gift cards for my friends that brunch and catch a show! Thanks BRAVA! See you soon. #qualitycounts

Wonderful brunch experience!!! Came by with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday and it was amazing! I found out about the brunch through a FB post and couldn't be happier. There were so many options for the breakfast or luck lovers, whatever you like. The paella was great and potatoes too! The waffle station was so great! So many options and the staff was so great. Plenty of fruit, cheese, and desserts. The staff was phenomenal- from the hostess to all of the waiters as waitresses. Towards the end of our meal, the Executive Chef Hector Torres, came out to introduce himself and show his appreciation for us supporting the brunch. He's from Caguas, Puerto Rico (whoop whoop) and cooks international cuisine. So many great things happening in the future for Brava. The location is beautiful and perfect for private events! I can't wait to visit again!!

So I just received an email that my reservations which I had made for dinner prior to the flamenco show was cancelled by the restaurant. The reservations were made when I purchased the show tickets over a month ago. No call from the restaurant, how unprofessional. On open table the restaurant is apparently booked because nothing is available for Sunday. I just called, they are closed but I left them a message. An update, I contacted opentable and they reached out to the restaurant and never received a response from them and neither did I.

Went to see Wicked tonight and decided to check out Brava. While it is a very convenient option to go to if seeing a show, the food was just ok and service was pretty bad. Not sure if it was because it is a prefix meal and you pay when the reservation is made (gratuity included)... or what. Our server told us that the vodka may have been 86'd....not sure if that is even possible. Then the table next to us had an issue with their bill and instead of excusing himself to get a manager, he argued with the guest at the table. Then we saw one of the bar staff crawling on the floor to get from behind the bar and then proceeded to throw something up in the air...maybe a lemon and was playing with it in the middle of the restaurant. For an upscale dining restaurant, definitely more training is needed for the staff. Some were more professional than others but for the money you are paying, professionalism is expected. Woosah... but now for the food. To start you are brought bread and butter/cheese. Which were pretty good but not explained to us. Wish i knew what they were because they were pretty good. For the meals we went with the below.     -Cuban Style Wedge Salad :   (Baby Iceberg Wedge,Crumbled Gorgonzola Cheese, Shaved Onions, Tomatoes, Bacon, Florida Citrus Vinaigrette) its a wedge salad with a little twist, i enjoyed the vinaigrette and the candied bacon     -Empanada Pescada:   (White  Fish, Shrimp, Scallop and Olive Blend Empanada, Lime Beurre Blanc,  Caper Berries) the Empanada was a good starter, this had good flavors. -Short Ribs:  (Brown Sugar and Rum Cured Short Rib, Bacardi Oakheart Demi-­‐Glace, Boniato Puree,Shaved Asparagus with Toasted Orange Peel) this dish had good flavors and i enjoyed the toasted orange peels, unfortunately it didn't make it to our table hot or even warm... disappointing. The portion size was actually big enough to split.   -Pan Seared Yellowtail Snapper Saffron :   (Tropical Mango Relish, Haricots  Verts,with Coconut Scented Jasmine Rice,Saffron Mango Beurre Blanc) the fish was cooked well and i liked the relish that came with it but i wish i was able to taste the coconut in the rice. -Raspberry cheesecake- basic cheesecake, nothing spectacular. Probably pre-made, came with a drizzle of raspberry puree and whip cream. -Berries and cream- a mixture of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberry with whip cream I know that this is a pretty new restaurant so i think that if/when they get things under wraps, it would have a better flow. Tonight our food took some time to come out, even the desserts which we had to ask for a couple of times. Overall i think that its a decent price to get a 3 course meal and for the convenience of being able to eat in the theater. The food wasn't mind blowing but good. The restaurant itself was nice and modern.

Located inside the Ziff Ballet Opera House, BRAVA! is a satisfying pick for a pre-show meal. After first dining here for a media preview, I was impressed and decided to book a table before I saw Beauty & The Beast on my birthday. BRAVA! offers a pre-fixe menu for $49 which includes tax and tip. You can add dining to your order online beforehand so that you are already paid and accounted for before the show. They even will have a name card waiting for you at the table which is a nice touch. Once seated, we chose a bottle of wine from the large wine list and paid for that separately after the fact. Before diving into your main meal, you're offered a "tapas platter" of cheese, meats, hummus, breads and olives, which is definitely better than a normal bread basket. For our first course, we tried the avocado and tomato salad and the fish empanada. The empanada is great for a seafood lover, while the salad is satisfying if you're looking for something a little lighter. For the mains, I chose the salmon over creamy polenta with mango relish, while my boyfriend went with the short ribs. On my previous visit, I had the filet mignon which was great but they are now charging extra for it. Could be worth it if you are really in the mood for steak, but the other included options hit the spot as well. For dessert, they offer a variety of mini-shooters that are the perfect sweet bite ranging from chocolate toffee brownie to key lime creme bruleé. They also have larger sweet offerings for an additional price. On this particular night, they were trying out a new dessert of ice creams in green tea cones that were pretty good. Service was very friendly with multiple people checking on us throughout our meal. Since it's affiliated with the theatre, you're guaranteed to be in and out before showtime. When all is said and done, the bill can add up with the addition of drinks, but it's a nice experience that's worthy of a splurge night (and especially a birthday). All in all, there aren't a ton of eateries in close proximity to the Arsht Center so it's nice to have an option like BRAVA! to check out before a show.

This was an incredible dining experience. I made the reservation through open table and also through the arscht website just in case. I celebrated my 30th birthday eating here and watching Hamilton. The food was incredible and had such a unique flavor not often found in Miami. We ordered the short rib wellington, the lamb osso buco, two desserts, and a tortellini that we devoured without taking a picture of. The service was amazing as well, my only complaint, which isn't a large one, and I didn't mention it while there, was that the server at one point rushed over because he thought I was trying to share the actual bone of the lamb with my boyfriend... as if we were too simple to understand that was a lamb bone? I found that a bit insulting but i figured because we were asking questions about the menu that he found us to be ignorant. I just like to know exactly what I am about to enjoy and I truly did enjoy it. I just feel like he should be wary of how he can be condescending to paying customers who want an experience, no matter if we seem ignorant or not. Another thing I noticed was that there was a white wine, Maculan, listed under "port" wine. It was still delicious but I was expecting something like the tawny. The Manager was very sweet and even took the desert off for the occasion, which we did not ask for considering I mentioned nothing to anyone while there. I would definitely go back but probably dress in my finest or in a ball gown, possibly, to avoid looking like a homeless person. Didn't think i looked it but who knows. The server was not rude per se but that was very off putting. Other than that, everyone else was very sweet and kind and again the food is definitely worth the price. Our bill with gratuity was around 237, and was lowered to 220 after one of the two deserts was taken off. I would gladly pay it again without the bones comment.

19th wedding anniversary. Ready to relax and see The Illusionists. Service was beyond slow. Food was beyond overpriced ($110 for 24 oz of ribeye for 2?!). We're season ticket holders and will not be coming back here. We had a 6:15 reservation, yet we were asked to wait at the bar and it took 15 minutes to be seated, while the restaurant was almost completely empty. We then waited 35 minutes before our waiter came to take our order, and an hour and 10 minutes before we received our entree. We almost missed our show. WTH. And, there is an 18% gratuity added on for service that is 100% not worth it. Do not come here. If you want to have a good meal prior to your theatrical event there are plenty of other options closeby with better service, better prices and better food quality.

ALTER soft egg is THE appetizer to start with. Soak up the extra with the house brioche. The menu is limited, but that allows for impeccable attention to detail and presentation. The Wellington was amazing and the Chicken Piccatta was anything but ordinary. It was a convenient pre-show extravagance. Treat yourselves!

Fantastic for brunchies!! Love all the variety you get at such an inexpensive price! The service was so good also...a rarity. My favs were the mac-n-cheese with beef and the cinnamon waffles!! You can choose between 4 waffle flavors and he will make all 4 in 1 waffle and there's a ton of toppings to choose from...to die for! Def one of my fav brunch spots for Saturday & Sunday in the area!

After making a reservation and putting down my credit card deposit for 4 people, I read the only and very bad review of the new Brava on Yelp and got nervous. I thought about canceling the reservation but my guests said let's keep the res and find out for ourselves what the restaurant is all about. So we went and after enjoying a quick glass of wine at the bar, we were led to our table. Being foodies, we wanted to sample as much of the menu as possible and ordered a few apps to get started: wahoo poke (5 stars), chowder (4.5 stars), heirloom tomato stratchitella (sp?) salad (5 stars), Caesar (4 stars). Before the apps were delivered we received a bread basket and 2 varieties of butter. First time I've ever been excited about butter, but the olive butter IS something to be excited about. Ok, onto the entrees: 3 of us shared the 2 person steak (5 stars) and the pescaterian of the group ordered the halibut (4.5 stars), and the chicken (4 stars). So far so good, aside from some minor timing issues, which we chalked up to the restaurant being new. To wrap things up we ordered a round of coffee drinks and 1 of each of the desserts. All of the food is presented as works of art, and the dessert course delivered as well, actually, dessert went even further into cuisine as art (5 more stars for each). Great dining experience? Check Great show (Illusionists)? Check Will be coming back? You betcha

Very nice staff but worst menu in South Florida... extremely limited and very eclectic menu, in a bad way. No soup or salad for anyone that doesn't like very fishy fish or short ribs without ribs. The duck breast was more fat than meat. Way overpriced too!

If I was only judging the food, I would give Brava five stars - the food is delicious, creative and all around terrific. The space is also very nice. The problem is the service - from making the reservation to paying the bill, Brava has a lot of room for improvement. First, making the reservation. We were going to Brava before a show. Originally, I made reservations for 2 people at 6pm. When another friend decided to join us, I called to change us to a party of 3 and was told that the only available time was 5:30pm. I took the reservation, but called several times to see if we could move it to the 6pm slot. Each time, I was unable to talk directly to the restaurant and instead had to go through the box office. Each time, I was told there was no availability. So, we showed up for our 5:30 reservation and the place was EMPTY. When I asked about it, the restaurant manager told us that 20 people were coming in at 6pm, hence our inability to come later. By 6:30, the place was still not full - they could have easily taken our party at 6pm. Our server also impacted my rating. He was gruff, unhelpful and inattentive. When he deemed us worthy of dropping by, he seemed rushed and as if we were bothering him with our questions and requests. He also had that annoying waiter trait of affirmatively avoiding looking directly at his tables, so flagging him down was no small task. Finally, the bill. As noted above, the service was not great, so we had no intention of tipping our standard 20%. When the bill arrived, our waiter said nothing about the tip being already included, and it was not highlighted on the bill in a way you would notice if you were not expecting it. Luckily, I took a second look at the bill and noticed that 18% had already been added. I am certain that had we not noticed, our waiter would have said nothing about it and happily taken an excessive tip from us. Overall, we were very disappointed in our experience at Brava. If the service lived up to the food, this restaurant would be amazing. Unfortunately, it does not and is not.

Had a terrible experience at brava. One of our orders came out wrong the manager who placed the order did Nothing To make it right. He could have cared less this restaurant does not know how to treat customers

This was a fun find inside the Arsht Center. It's a touch of fine dining inside the house of fine arts. The dishes were so flavorful and visually appealing. The ambience is romantic with neutral tomes so the artistry of the food can shine through. I think for the price there's a few misses on the service end (note though: our server was attentive and made fantastic recommendations). Regardless, the food is truly an elevated experience and makes it a good splurge. Check out the website for the most current menu.

Being an admirer for the past years of the AAC and it's previous attempts to provide fine dinning I was excited to go at it again. It all started after making my reservation and I decide to google Brad Kilgore (this is a must). I then started to count my days. Arriving at the venue with my date in attire that in Miami can only be used at AAC. I'm guided to a room of white table clothes, chandeliers and candlelight. The server although being only there second week had great knowledge we took advantage of the $35 Dom Perignon by the glass and prepared ourselves to be seduced. Course after course just delightful surprises. Dessert stole the show!!! I must congratulate whoever conspired to bring life back to AAC with the new chef!!! I will be seeing you all season Brava Thank you!

Delicious food! Excellent service! For appetizers we had the brioche and raviolo that we're super tasty! Also to note, they do not have bread service, but the brioche is well worth it! For our main courses we had the bass and the duck breast. Both well prepared and exquisite! We concluded with the tiramisu, which was very good! The service was superb!

Went to see Giselle and had the pleasure of dining in the new Brava by Brad Kilgore at the Arsht Center. Everything was delightful and delicious from the bread to the after dinner/dessert cookies. Service was knowledgeable and attentive giving the fact that it's a 5 star service in an hour and a half. I recommend everything. I went with a small party that basically ordered the menu. This is a new caliber restaurant Miami has been wanting and waiting for. Will be back.

Had dinner pre-show at Brava and was extremely impressed with both the food and service. Be prepared for classics re-invented...it totally lives up to its promise! The focaccia and duo of butter was a terrific start. We had for starters the ricotta agnolotti and the wild mushroom tart. The first was delicate and subtle, the second earthy and rich...both delicious. Then we shared a lovely Caesar salad....rich from bottarga but yet refreshing with tons of lemon zest. Mains were the lamb shank and the bouillabaisse risotto. The lam was rich and spicy with Serrano peppers. The bouillabaisse was very light and zesty, though had great depth with tons of saffron. We also got to sample the whipped clam chowder...wow! I see why some comments on yelp seem disappointed...this is a very unusual yet brilliant interpretation of the classic. Layers of whipped potato, soup, smokiness, incredible texture and delicious clam flavor. Very different...loved it! The piece de resistance was the foie gras snickers we had for dessert. Yes a snickers bar with foie gras! Brilliant! Don't miss the amazing champagnes, including Dom by the glass for a steal. So impressed....we will return soon...they say they will have a tasting menu soon! Yippee!

Returned to Brava with International guests and they were impressed, not only by the food, but also by the level of service and the ambiance, loved the fact that it was possible to carry on a conversation... We had great food, starting from the hors d'oeuvres, on with the delicious rib eye and the vegetarian entrée, finishing with an amazing, very original, foie gras dessert... Thanks! This is a relatively undiscovered gem in the Miami panorama of high end dining!

I do not know what is worse. The food? The price? The ambiance? The food selection is poor and not what is listed online. The food quality is worse. Beef wellington is for the birds. 3 of us left with a $300 plus bill. We were hungry and angry. Skip this place at all costs. SCAM. It's crap!

We went to dinner before our show at 7. We were seated at 5:15. We ordered soups as an appetizer and it couldn't have been more than half a cup for $17. It was very good, I'll give them that. We were served the soup around 5:45. We did not receive our entrees until 6:30 and had to ask twice when our food would be ready. A couple next to us were seated after us and received their entrees at least 15 minutes before us. My girlfriends entree was basically cold. Mine was good, not great and certainly not at their prices. Oh, forgot to mention, my entree that I originally wanted, Poulet Rouge ( chicken); they ran out of! Who runs out of chicken? So I had to order something else ($14 more). At least the manager offered an appetizer. It's rare that I write such a poor review but our experience was not what you would expect for those prices and the food was not great.

Service was great but food was subpar. Reminiscent of childhood Swanson dinners. Lacked taste, substance and presentation.

I understand that having a dairy allergy may crimp a chef's style, but my extremely expensive meal at Brava was completely tasteless. A square of branzino with pale cauliflower was barely edible. My companion, who had no restrictions, was equally unimpressed with her mush of meat. The waitstaff was lovely. Yet when we complained, she said it's hard to do no dairy and offered us a free coffee! For $90.00 per person, that was little compensation.

My review is specifically for the Mother's Day Brunch. We had originally planned a Saturday brunch for our family based on our son going back to college. However plans changed and because he will now be doing a summer semester locally, I found myself scrambling to find a nice place for a Mother's Day Brunch with 48 hours notice. Not a fun task. I called about 2 dozen hotels and restaurants to no avail. As you would expect, nothing was available and when I inquired, prices were prohibitively high. Some in excess of $125/adult, not including "a drink package". A friend told us about the Sunday brunch at Brava! So, even though I felt defeated, I inquired. I was delighted to find out that there was seating for our ideal time (11:30am) and the price was reasonable ($36.50/person). There was no price gouging for the Hallmark Holidays as many of the trendy places do in South Florida, especially in Miami/Miami Beach. I can't tell you how much I appreciated not being price gouged. When we arrived we learned that Brava! was completely booked so they graciously set up the Ballet warm up room, dressing it up for the occasion. We were greeted and brought to our table. The waiter and waitresses were polite, attentive and immediately brought us mimosas and coffee. The buffet was plentiful, diverse, very good quality and quite tasty. As a family we all enjoyed the Brava! Mother's Day Brunch. My wife enjoyed the venue, the food and the time with the family. It doesn't get much better than that... Good food & family. Thank you Brava! and the Adrianne Arscht Center for helping a husband out in a pinch and doing so at a reasonable price. Brava! will now be our go to Sunday brunch place!

The New Brava @ Adrienne Arsht Center, broke the mold from the history of the previous places in that same location. I will be back there next time in Miami. I had the Ricotta Agnoletti for the appetizer, tasty, balanced, nice appetizer, stimulating and not too much. Had me wanting more and ready for the entree. For dinner I had the Braised Lamb Shank Bourguignon, which was delicious, had a lot going on in terms of flavor and texture. The Lamb fell off the bone. The New "Brava" is definitely worth a stop if you are up for a fine dining experience. When you stop by to see the menu, stick your head in the door so you can smell the deliciousness in the air.

Well for starters no one in their right mind would eat here if they didn't have theater tickets. It is overpriced which would be fine if it was fabulous. It is not. Let's start with bread- yes you can have some- a brioche- for $11.00. Water, we asked for lemon in the water and it came on the side. At these prices I want it squeezed or at least dropped into the glass for me. We each got two appetizers instead of an entree. A duck confit tart topped with some foam whose flavor was fine but there is a limit to how much air I am willing to consume but that may be me. Both my companion and I left pieces of crust on the plate so it was it wasn't worth finishing. Try a few greens on the plate and a better crust. The porcini with lamb was good if a bit salty and the ravioli were pedestrian, good but hardly memorable. The plates were hot but the food was like in both temperature and flavor the food is the one time stated with few accompaniments. A beef Wellington had nothing else on the plate. I am fine with expensive restaurants if you earn it. And I get that at the theater they have a bit of a captive audience. You won't be miserable eating here but you also won't be looking to come back. The almond cookie that came with the check was the best thing they served, small but packed with flavor.and while the check list of suggested gratuities amounts they actually add 20% to the bill. Writing this review was the highlight of the meal.

Went with high expectations. I had the best fish I've ever had. Great ambiance, and friendly service (when available). I plan on returning.

My husband and I had dinner here prior to a show. The food was fair... Appetizers included ( shrimp bisque and salad) entree... Paella and vegetable pastry) both good. Fixed price $49 per. What blew us out of the water was the $20 charge for each drink ordered from their cocktail menu-- one Manhattan and one vodka martini. So our final bill was double. For warned is for armed.
