Bravas Bar de Tapas

First time here and what can I say, DELICIOUS! I wasn’t sure what to expect I didn’t really look this place up it was recommended to me but I wasn’t sure what to expect. We sat outside since it was beautiful and it was a gorgeous atmosphere such a ambience! Dog friendly! And the staff was very nice. We started off with a kale salad and goat cheese toast and oh my all the flavors were delicious! We didn’t even get a chance to take a picture of the octopus because we were so excited to try and WOW 10/10 dish. Then finished off with the steak! Although the dishes didn’t feel “big” entree style all of this for two was filling! Very delicious, would definitely come back!

The bacalhau cigrelli was interesting and fun, olives on the side were a pleasant accent! Chicken croquettes with gruyere cheese were simple and enjoyable :)

Stopped by for Sunday lunch on the way home from a camping trip. We were seated in the patio on a sunny afternoon. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu, gave genuine recommendations, and was very hospitable. Tapas can get pretty expensive, so although prices seemed high, the food quality and positive service experience balanced that out for me. Ingredients tasted fresh, meat and seafood were perfectly cooked. We were a fan of the olives (give us more pickled green next time!). I was excited to see pig ears on the menu. The sauces were excellent. We especially loved the salsa verde that came with the calamari, and the olive tapenade with the chicken dish. We dipped our ham sandwiches in the salsa verde and it added a fresh lightness to the sandwiches. Overall a great lunch!

The flavors here transport you to Spain. As with most tapas restaurants, we ordered a bunch of dishes to be shared between us. These dishes are on the larger size and would be better shared with 3-4 people than amongst just 2. Or plan on taking home leftovers. We ordered the beets, the asparagus, the artichoke, the crab stuffed peppers, the prawns, the duck sliders and the rum balls. Beets were tender and flavorful. A nice cold dish to start the meal. The asparagus were a favorite. Perfect cook with tender asparagus and a great lemon kick with toasty cheese accents. Artichoke was a miss for us. The leaves were tough and the sauce was not quite balanced. Crab with peppers was a star! We wanted to take a bottle of the sauce to put on everything. Great flavor and textural balance

Absolutely delicious! Several other tables ordered the paella, but I had no more room in my tummy. The portion sizes of their tapas are huge! I'll definitely be going back to try their paella and seared scallops. Great selection on their menu. I sat on their back patio that was covered on a mild July early evening. Service was great, and the entire back patio of the restaurant was packed!😍
