   Outstanding food! The shrimp and octopus was flavorful, the octopus was tender, loved the addition of the olives. The scallop was great, the veal with the espresso rub was great as well. Also loved the beignets! And the Portuguese wine pairings were delicious as well. Loved pairing of two wines with shrimp starter, red and white! Eric did a great job with wine parings. Kitty is a great chef. So fun to eat her food for the wine dinners, we look forward to our next wine dinner.

   It was our first 'wine dinner' at Costa Brava Bistro and we loved it! A four course meal paired with five Portuguese wines. Chef Bailey served a shrimp and octopus appetizer, a scallop and greens salad, a tasty veal dish as our main and for dessert, beignets! The first three courses were paired with a combination of whites and reds and the beignets came with an excellent Madeira. Great food, wine and the full house added to the upbeat atmosphere! Fun time.

   The food flavors here are always good and the ambience is very nice and romantic. My only complaint this time was the food was served lukewarm. I like my food served hot. there is always a bit of a wait for the waiter to serve you once you arrive as well. Even sometimes to bring the menu to your table can take 10 minutes.

    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!
