   We’ve eaten here before and always found the experience top notch but on this visit happened to order 2x identical New York’s but found them to be quite different and each below our expectations indifferent ways (one overly charred and the other perfectly charred but under seasoned). Wouldn’t normally object but in the realm of high end steak houses you do expect high end consistency in their steaks

   Very pricey for what you get. Food was alright, for the price expectations were very high. Parking was difficult, very noisy, service was good.

   Last night was our third or fourth time eating at Braven, it has become our go-to spot for celebratory events. Last night it was absolutely packed with guests - so glad we booked a reservation! I always order the yellowfin tuna fillet (it's to die for) and my husband always gets a steak, last night he had the 12oz striploin which was cooked to perfection. I also tried the nonalcoholic cocktail Blueberry Garden and it was great!

   Food was great especially the desserts. Service was a bit slow but it was downtown dining week.

   Took 1.5 hours for lunch, so keep that in mind and we ordered the set menu. Absurdly long.

   We went out for Downtown Dinning week and were so sure about where to go. Perfect stake + tuna sushi for $25? YES!! Everything delicious, portions are not to big so you can easily handle. Service was Not intrusive which I love. The only suggestion I’d give is to welcome people at the table a little bit faster. Overall we had a nice girls lunch, thank you!

    Went to try a steak at Braven during downtown dining week. After ordering cocktails we ordered the steak and were told it was sold out, but we could order a different steak at double the price. Pretty disappointed after paying for parking already. Begrudgingly we had lunch at Kindred across the hall, not the same type of meal we were expecting. Pretty bush league to not order enough product for a special event, they could have offered us a different steak at the promoted price.
