The moment you step inside, you're greeted by an inviting atmosphere that feels both cozy and elegant. The décor features a blend of modern and rustic elements, with soft lighting, comfortable seating, and tasteful accents that create an intimate yet lively setting. It’s the ideal spot for a romantic dinner, a celebration with friends, or even a relaxed family meal. The bad thing was we had separate checks, i paid with card and my friend paid with cash, they mixed our bills up and mine was the higher one. Other than that great place. Definitely give it a try

We've been going to Braised for several years now, regular rotation for date night. We enjoy the less formal bar for a weeknight couples meal. My Mother's birthday was a great reason to get the gang together, and we had a very nice meal in a seven person party. The front of house accommodated a call in to add two more to the reservation, but unfortunately illness prevented their coming down the hill. Service was excellent, we wanted for nothing but weren't intruded on. My Mom remarked on our way home that she liked the friendliness of the staff, she's a happy person and it's nice to work with happy people. The menu is so nicely done, but I think there were only three different mains across all seven of us - and six involved braised beef! Delicious! Everyone was looking forward to dessert, which we had prepped people for - "they do all their own desserts! Everyone got something different and the whole table got to sample, despite being stuffed from dinner. MORE deliciousness! Great way to celebrate Mom's 79th!

Not much to say except for that the food was excellent, and the service was amazing. There aren’t any restaurants like this in this area, so if you’re Celebrating something we just need an Elevated night out, this is a good place to consider.

The restaurant was severely understaffed- which had the result of very slow service and some food items arriving at the table at different times during the meal, and our table not getting prior to desert being served.This was not due to the waitress- who was working very hard. She was the only wait person in the place. Management's staffing decisions made our meal less enjoyable

The food was OK but was overpriced for what it was. We do enjoy that there is a decent restaurant option in Tulare. Good variety of options available.

We had a wonderful experience at an early dinner. Attentive service, great food, and a nice quiet time. I especially recommend the Lobster Mac and Cheese, and the Surf and Turf with pork belly and large shrimp.
