Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Breva offers a mixed dining experience with highlights including "amazing food and attentive service" and a cozy, elevated ambiance. Guests rave about "THEE best salad and cheeseburger" and the "smoke walleye appetizer." However, service inconsistencies and some menu items fall short. Ideal for quieter evenings.

We made a reservation for 7 ppl at 7:00pm. We waited at the front door for approx 4 minutes before someone came to us. Bartender looked at us a few times and didn’t say anything. Our server was really great! We ordered and dinner at the same time. Our drinks took a really long time. Drinks came about 2 minutes before food. The menus has a nice variety but dishes are quite expensive.

Good food; great value. Our server, Carlos, was very good despite the many tables he seemed responsible for. He promised us that he would manage timing so that we could get to Orchestra Hall timely and he kept his word. Well done, Carlos! We’ll be back.

Hi James, Thank you for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed our food and found it to be of great value. We'll be sure to pass on your compliments to Carlos and the rest of the team. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

We waited about 5 minutes to be greeted at the Host Table, then when seated, perhaps by a bartender, who took us to a table, got us glasses of water and told us that a server would be with us shortly. After five or ten minutes, a server arrived and apologized being late, but offered no reason. I think that she was hanging out in the kitchen. We questioned the fixed price dinner offered, thinking that it was too good to be true, but it wasn't. When the entree came, it was hot and flavorful. The salad and the cheese cake were excellent. The restaurant was almost empty, four or five occupied tables, which seemed odd at 6 pm, the night of a Minnesota Orchestra concert a block away. The food was very good and the fixed price was very reasonable, but initial reception and the initial table service were poor. Maybe they had a bad night on the service, but there were few diners. Maybe they had poor service at their last visit and didn't come back.

Worst experience I have had at a restaurant. Food was not edible. Service slow. It took 20 minutes for the wine to be served and an hour for the food.

Our lunch was delicious. Our server, Dalia, was friendly and professional. The kitchen was quite slow, but we were not in a hurry and enjoyed our conversation while we waited.

There were problems in the kitchen the night we visited. The food was great but took forever. Server was great, very apologetic and comped drinks but the long wait ruined the experience.

Our waiter was terrible. Orders not submitted correctly. Service slow. We dined here a week ago and had a great experience but this time it was not good. Portion sizes smaller for salad, chicken left out, arrived after everything else eaten. Would not visit Breva unless they make some changes.

The ambience was so classy and cozy, and the food was pretty good. Service was a little slow, but it was restaurant week so it was a little busy
