    Very close to Orchestra Hall so we tried Breva out. Tuna appetizer disappointed, but Salmon was very good! Service was a bit unprofessional for such a nice restaurant but team did apologize for our food delay. Pasta bolognese was very good, gelato dessert a bit disappointing. Prix Fixe menu was quite a deal.

    Restaurant had a few occupied tables, but it took 20 mins to get 2 of three cocktails, the third came at the 30 min mark. Little gem cesar salad was actually romaine lettuce with rock hard croutons. Chicken dish was ok, flank steak was ordered mid rare was served closer to rare and barely warm. The bolognese was also served cold. They had a $27 2 course option and apparently the flank steak was a $15 up charge which wasnt disclosed. Overall an off putting experience, not worth making a return trip.

    Service amazing, drinks good and burger was ok but squared so it rose the issue was it all real ground beef? Their fries were really good! Could get ketchup but not BBQ The shrimp scampi was not to be desired. Came in a yellow orange sauce that tasted a bit curry-ish. Now I like curry but was expecting more of a butter garlic taste? Plus the noodles were rigatoni’s and not long noodles? Am I missing something here? And no option of garlic bread. Ate half was ok. The bill came to 91 US dollars. Two meals, two drinks and a 45 tip… because the service was great!

    First time at Breva - the service was great. The food was very good and not what I was expecting given it's advertised as an American grill and bar. The food was unique and very different. I had the beat salad - nothing special but solid. My husband had the breva burger - which was fantastic. Also the Ahi tuna starter was excellent.

    We were in the first (11:00] seating for the Thanksgiving dinner. That probably influenced the very prompt service and quiet surroundings. The turkey roulade was some of the best turkey I have ever eaten, the breast meat was moist and nicely flavored by the abundant dressing rolled into it. The beans were crisp and bright green; the sweet potatoes were flavorful, The pumpkin praline cheesecake was incredibly rich and nicely presented. We only wished we had split one piece and taken the other home for later.
