Superbe dining experience. The food, sourced locally, was perfectly cooked. The braised beef was outstanding and reminded me of the recipes I had as a child in France.

There are absolutely no words to describe how fabulous Braise is. The food is outstanding, the service impeccable, and the cocktails are to die for.

Absolutely loved my meal here. My girlfriend and I popped in on a Thursday and were surprised to find live music playing in the patio. The pork bao totally lived up to their reputation – you MUST order at least one of these per person.

Really nice experience and great food. We had two small plates and an entree between the two of us, hoping to leave room for dessert. Not a chance. Small plates are generous and very tasty! Entree was enough to share. Fair prices, excellent service and beautiful place. We’ll be back!

excellent spontaneous menu featuring the freshest ingredients, highly recommend. Only downside we had this time was the timing of the dishes, dishes came out really fast, not enough time in between dishes.

Food was very good. We had a hiccup with the order: server asked us about the allergies and we told about dairy intolerance “a little butter is ok”. Our pork came out on top of creamy polenta, we had to call the server back and ask if it had dairy and wait to be re-made.

If you have not had the pleasure to eat at this amazing restaurant, you need to make a reservation immediately. The menu changes frequently and the food is always insanely good. If I have a special occasion or people in from out of town, this is my go to spot. It is always a crowd pleaser and am awed by their food every time I go. Beyond the food, the service and the people there are so kind and outstanding. They add several touches to their dining experience that makes dining there so special.

Went here for a private event. Indoor and outdoor spaces were beautiful. Food was absolutely exceptional. I have dietary restrictions and they accommodated me 100%. Drinks are strong. Very lovely experience.
