Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Breva offers an inviting atmosphere with "delicious" food and standout service, highlighted by "amazing" staff like Carlos and Holly. The menu features unique dishes such as the Breva Burger and smoked walleye dip. Conveniently located near Orchestra Hall, it's an appealing choice for pre-concert dining. However, service can occasionally be inconsistent.

Environment was great for a working lunch. Noise level was low and service was fast and efficient. Food was delicious, salad and French fries are always my go to at lunch and it was simply fantastic. Will definitely be back. They also carry Coke Zero which you can't find many places!

Giving three stars because the food tasted good. But they were understaffed and everything was quite slow. All of our food came out at different times and most of it was cold. Four in our party were done eating before the fifth person’s entree arrived. One of our orders was incorrect and had to be sent back and corrected as well. Hoping it was an off morning but everything just seemed disjointed.

I will not be visiting Breva ever again. The service was terrible resulting in our 4th entree delivered to our table in a takeout box. We arrived at 5:15, ordered at 5:40 and had to run out of the restaurant at 6:52 to our concert venue. We nearly missed the curtain. Drinks and salads came at first. But 45 minutes later the entrees hadn't arrived. The waiter called out - we will comp your entrees-- but no maitre d' or other manager handled the situation. The service was so bad, the quality of the food was irrelevant at this point! 2 of the diners left cash for drinks out of kindness. Don't go to Breva!

The two for $27 dinner is good value. The walleye dip and Walleye dinner were good. The wine is good value. The chicken needs improvement > crispier, with better prepared carrots. Great location to the convention center.

Food was good! App portions a little small. Service was pretty slow at lunch and the restaurant wasn’t that busy.

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.
