Editorial Review for Bravo – by Eric Grossman

The Scene
This second-floor restaurant earns its laudatory name by way of a stylish indoor seating area and an exceptionally eclectic menu. Lunchtime patrons are mostly museum visitors taking a well-deserved break, while dinner hours find area executives (and lovebirds) enjoying a live pianist and sampling the bar's specialty cocktails and adventurous wine list. The sharp, orange-red dining room, which features an ever-changing selection of paintings, is constantly patrolled by efficient servers.

The Food
For a limited menu--expect only four options per course--Bravo covers an impressive amount of culinary ground. Starters include delicious homemade soups (smoky lobster chowder with applewood bacon) and colorfully arranged sushi platters (fresher than what you'll find at most Japanese restaurants). Free-range chicken with pear and blue cheese is typical of reasonably priced entrees. For dessert, try the milk chocolate layer cake with creamsicle ice cream.

Insider Tips

Save Time

Be sure to make a dinner reservation if you're dining on a Wednesday, when the museum's admission is voluntary (thus ensuring heavier-than-normal crowds).

Know Before You Go

While lunch is served daily (brunch on the weekends), the museum's hours limit dinner service to only three nights a week.

Where to Sit

For an extra-romantic view of the museum's interior courtyard, request a window table or a seat on the seasonal outdoor terrace.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I went there for the first time and found the food to be excellent. I had the crab cakes and my girlfriend had the lobster sandwich. Though a bit expensive, the quality was as good as any restaurant anywhere. I will definitley recommend going. Make sure to make reservations in advance!
