Bravo Restaurant & Lounge

We didn’t even make it to the restaurant!
Called on a Thursday evening to make reservations for Saturday for a birthday dinner for my wife. Promptly asked if we could hold and the phone was put down, not even put on hold. Listened to him chat in the background for with others for 8 minutes before we finally hung up.
With that kind of first contact we definitely won’t be going there anytime soon.

This used to be a great, happening place that was fun to go to and the food was incredible. It has changed in a big way. Last time we were there, the waiter was terrible. When he brought out the birthday girl’s dessert, we asked if it had peanuts in it because she was allergic. He said he didn’t know and the cooks had gone home (it wasn’t even 10 p.m.). He suggested that I (sitting beside her) try it and let her know. He also hovered over us (along with the owner/​manager) in what felt like a strong encouragement to leave, even though we were the only people in there at 9 p.m. on a Friday night and were still ordering. They even turned the music off on us. Horrible experience and I won’t be going back. It feels like the owners have given up.

Where to start? I’ve been going to Bravo since it opened. Every meal has been fantastic and it keeps me coming back. During one such dinner with my parents, tickets for the annual New Years Eve party were on sale and I told them they should get some. They had a BLAST! Aside from that, this place serves up the meanest cocktails — the barstaff know what they’re doing!
Lets talk about the food: the mussels are always delicious here, excellent appetizer option. Their Osso Bucco is impressive. Its a giant piece of lamb shank stewed to perfection. Rack of lamb is also a thumbs up. They had a pork cutlet on the menu once served with a housemade apple compot which was phenomenal. I rarely order porkchops at restaurants but I’m so glad I did. Dessert is also a must. The upside down pineapple cake is divine. Your best just getting the trio plate and trying little bits of all their signature desserts… wish they had that for the entrees! I’m looking forward to my next trip and trying the Bison shortrib or maybe wild salmon on crab potato mash.
Oh these guys also have a very very impressive wine list. One time, they no longer had the bottle we wanted in stock and brought us up an option from their cellar… it was Orin Swift Papillon 2008. We were so impressed we managed to get the 2009 vintage for our wedding. Many thanks Bravo!
Final note: they have a back room for private events — its superb!

We love this restaurant. The service is always great and the food is divine. I had the sliders tonight which were well presented and tasty as well as the roasted beet salad. Excellent.

This is by far the best restaurant in Chilliwack. You will not do better in Vancouver. The beef tenderloin is my favorite. The potatoes au gratin are the best I have had anywhere. The wine menu is extensive and an award winner.
Menu is well priced and service is good.

Excellent food! This restaurant rivals any restaurant found in downtown Vancouver. The wine list was superb and I wouldn’t hesitate to say better than many downtown restaurants. We went on a Sat night and the place was packed. Food was divine, portions were good sized, martini was ok but the wine list made up for the mediocre martini.
Our only complaint was that there was a very large party near us who were having very loud (and at time inappropriate) conversations and walking past us to get to the back door to outside to smoke regularly. We were trying to have a romantic dinner and found this rather disruptive. Had we been seated elsewhere in the restaurant (in a booth at the front), I doubt this would have been an issue.

Best, nicest, tastiest, classiest… all these apply. The lighting creates a romantic ambiance and the staff is friendly. The recipes are imaginative and you’ll want to try everything on the menu. It’s hard to find though; you can be standing right in front of it and not even realize it’s there.

Bravo isn’t only the best restaurant in Chilliwack. It’s one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. Period.
All of the dishes I’ve tried here have been fantastic, especially the beef tenderloin. The martinis are AMAZING. Order any martini and you won’t be disappointed. You also won’t be sober.
I love this place, the staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy. I will go back again and again and again… make a reservation, they’re always busy.

Very good food!!! I had the the beef tenderloin and my wife had the chicken pesto both super de – lish!!! Price not too bad for a higher end restaraunt.

Bravo is definitely Chilliwack’s best restaurant.
If you are in town and looking for great meal, Bravo is unlike any you will find in Chilliwack.
The service here is great and the martini selection full. But the food is really what keeps me coming back. Next time you are in town try the fresh gnocchi, or the handmade porgies. The duck dish is a personal favourite for mine, but heck-​make sure you try the features for the week, seasonal, fresh and divine.
