    We had a nice dinner with friends on a rainy night. Lots of variety. Good cocktail and wine list.

    Always a great place for food and ambience. But the waiter sure didn’t pay attention to us. We needed our table fixed and she never came back to do it. We had to ask someone else. We needed our check and she didn’t bring it. We had to ask her again.

    We had to leave before we could order anything to eat because of the rats around our table. We first saw one walking by and asked to be seated inside because we felt uncomfortable and while we were waiting for an answer another rat came up to the table. They wouldn't move us inside so we left. Very sad and uncomfortable.

    Several bad moments equal one miserable dining experience here. Beginning with the hostess that would not allow us to sit inside where it was warmer, even though we had an Open Table reservation and there were several empty tables. Request to try a small amount of sangria before ordering was against restaurant policy. Every restaurant usually allows you a small taste of a wine before ordering. So ordered it and it was bitter and undrinkable. Waited a half hour for the paella to be ready. They ring a bell when it’s done and several minutes later we were served and it was barely warm and over salted. We asked our server to take back the dish. At no time did anyone from management come out to talk to us. We gave up on this place asked for the check paid and left. We walked across the street and ate a much better dinner.

    It was ok! I read such great reviews I was underwhelmed. We had the olives and that was my favorite part of the lunch. The duck meatballs were blah and I did not like the chimichurra. My husband liked the kale salad, but I thought it was bitter. The scallops were overcooked, so I only ate one. The French Press coffee was very nice and the wine was “fine”. Our waiter was on top of everything. I’m not sure for $150 I would go again.

    Bravas is my favorite place for lunch!!! We celebrated my friend’s birthday there today and we were all so impressed with everything! I have my favorite dishes but really everything is so good. And it’s so nice to have a tapas restaurant in Sonoma County. The service at Bravas is always perfect and Frank is the best server of all!

    I would not recommend this place for tapas. The iberco ham was not tasty. The pallella which we went for was soggy. The cheese plate was something you can get from Vons. Would not return.

    Never disappoints! Great menu and something for everyone. The roasted cauliflower and fried eggplant chips were today's favourites!

    I love Bravas and have been here many times. I guess it was a busy night, but we waited a long time for our food. We ordered tapas and they are usually spaced out, but they all arrived at the same time. I will return for sure, just was a little disappointed

    35 bucks for two people’s paella is reasonable. Tasted very good. The octopus tapas was excellent too, we ordered some bread to eat the good olive oil from the dish. The bread was very good too. On the bill there was 3% BOH service charge added. Don’t know what’s that for. I still gave them 20% tips. Patio seats are cold this season. Dress warm for dinner.
