    Bravas Restaurant Healdsburg CA. Where to start? How about the front door. Poor front of house service the Seating was chaotic at our time of arrival which was 20 minutes early The Wait staff was inattentive not being greeted until 12 minutes after our reservation time. Food service was poor to nonexistent with courses arriving out of order or not at all. Food service was inconsistent at best. Management seemed to be controlled, not in control. Ambience was loud so was the house music. This is not the first poor experience we've had at a Starks owned and operated establishment in recent months. Sonoma County Restaurant Week is the time to be on your game, it is not the time for your restaurant to collapse----Saturday night at 7pm reservation for 2-----

    Excellent menu. Great variety of small plates. Our waitress was great and timed her requests for additional small plates very well. The ham and cheese board was very good as were the prawns. Quaint dining room and a popular destination.

    Always an amazing dining experience. The shrinkflation that has happened here in recent years is real, and I can’t for the life of me understand why they can’t offer 6 croquettes instead of five. Tables are almost always even numbers so why did they do this?!

    This was our 2nd visit and we are already making plans to return! We love being able to sample many different tastes with their tapas menu, all washed down with their delicious red sangria. We sat outside in the courtyard on a beautiful Spring day and it couldn't have been nicer. We started with Marinated olives and Pan Oliva (toast with olive oil and garlic), followed by Chorizo with shishito peppers. The little bites of chorizo were amazing and are house made by one of their sister restaurants - absolutely delicious. It was difficult to choose from the extensive menu, but, with the help of our wonderful servers, we narrowed down the options to Crispy skin chicken thighs with olive tapenade (mmmm, so yummy) followed by calamari with salsa verde and the octopus with fingerlings potatoes. OK, so we over - ordered - this was a little bit too much food for 2 people, but we wouldn't have missed any of it! It was a close call, but we finally decided the calamari was our absolute favorite, followed oh so closely by the octopus! All the food was beautifully plated and presented in a wonderfully unhurried manner allowing us to savor each bite with the delight it deserved. We finished with the Hot rum balls - light and decadent - and remarkably delicious decaf coffee. Our next reservation will be to try the paella - we understand the chef makes huge pans with whatever takes his fancy on Friday and Saturday nights - we simply must come back!

    Very pleasant experience. The food was even better than expected — crab stuffed peppers were outstanding, particularly, as suggested by our server, finished off with fantastic garlic bread to sop up the outstanding sauce. Five stars also for the brussel sprouts and the mushrooms. And kudos to our server who intelligently suggested we may have over ordered. The surprisingly sweet deep fried eggplant dish was a perfect finish to a delectable meal and a most satisfying evening.
