   We are longtime fans of Costa Brava. This weekend our couple friends were joining for the first time. We saw Costa Brava through their eyes - and they were quite impressed! The four of us chose different appetizers and main courses which included one each of the appetizer and main course specials. Of course we ended the evening with servings of the Manchego cheesecake - no one can resist that. A perfect night and the restaurant was packed!

   Costa Brava consistently delivers an authentic European dining experience. Their gazpacho is the most delicious, silky and authentic Andalusian gazpacho in town. Like taking a trip to Spain. And the specials are creative and varied while still maintaining their roots in French and Spanish Mediterranean cuisine.

   Costa Brava is exceptional. Costa Brava opened my eyes on Spanish cuisine. The ambience invites warm conversation. The dishes delight the palate. The service is crisp and friendly. Love Costa Brava!

   This was first time in a couple years, due to distance. Food and service were great as I remembered.

   Wonderful atmosphere - was able to enjoy conversation with our group and not feel like we were disturbing our neighbors. The food was delicious! The only thing slightly less than perfect was the manchego cheesecake. But definitely not a deal breaker! We’ll be back asap. The staff was attentive and helpful making the evening even more enjoyable.

    First time here. Nice vibe and music and not loud. Salmon belly ceviche was really good with citrus providing nice acid. Escargot were tender and beurre blanc nice but lacked seasoning. We were excited for the duck but disappointed the skin was not crisp and fat was not rendered so we had to cut the fat off to eat the meat. Fat was not edible. Also needed seasoning. We also ordered the Cochinillo suckling pig. Skin was nice and crispy and meat was tender and juicy, but, this too needed seasoning. The white bean stew served with it was good, but needed a touch of salt. Ended with the Chocolate croissant bread pudding which was very tasty. Attentive service from Angel was appreciated. Quality ingredients here but the lack of salt made some of the dishes a bit flat.
