Have been wanting to go here for years and finally went. I was not disappointed. Enjoyed a couple of excellent martinis, the pepper crusted albacore tuna as an entre and crème brûlée to follow. Tuna was perfectly done with subtle and tasty veg. Our party enjoyed caesar salads, scallops, Osso buco, seared arctic char and martinis, plus the pineapple upside down cake. Nice ambient atmosphere, and tasteful decor, but not over the top, still cozy and comfortable. The service was attentive and pleasant. I can understand why this restaurant is highly regarded, its reputation is well earned. Quite special….I would recommend and will definitely return! Well done and “bravo” Bravo….it’s great to have a restaurant of this calibre in the neighbourhood!

Chilliwack’s best kept secret! From the outside you’d never know what you’re about to be blessed with, as the high end experience that Bravo delivers is on point every.single.time. Jared crafts the best dishes with such creativity. His talent for creating menus reflecting world wide flavours, makes the experience second to none. Consistently incorporating fresh, local and fun ingredients, all presented beautifully and the option to pair the meal with an extensive and specially curated wine list and martini bar (which are continuously being updated with special options you wouldn’t find anywhere else). BJ, Jared and Monique are all highly skilled professionals, which further enhances the experience and as a result, the restaurant/lounge is always booked and lively. I can’t say enough positive things about this special establishment! This is still the only place in Chilliwack I crave and always make sure to make a reservation for special occasions with our family! Thank you, Bravo!

Really loved it. Good wine and good food. I had the Chicago tenderloin and it was incredible. I sat at the bar with BJ who was very knowledgeable and kind. I watched the way the staff interact, they were respectful with eachother and it seems like a good working environment from the outside looking in. Impressed with food, drink, and atmosphere and will be back. Minor thing, lights were a little bit bright at the bar and it was a bit chaotic, would suggest you grab a seated table!

On our way to Harrison Hot Springs for the weekend, my family and I stopped by Bravo Restaurant & Lounge in Chilliwack for dinner. The service was excellent, and the food exceeded expectations for a small city. We ordered the steak medium rare, and it was perfectly cooked. My daughter had the pork, which was juicy and tender. My favorite dish was the tuna. It was beautifully seared and perfectly paired with the sauce and greens, creating a delightful combination of flavors and textures.

It was our first time trying this restaurant after hearing many good things about them. They did not disappoint. For starters, we shared the seared calamari in a sesame reduction. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was. The sauce was savory with a touch of spicy sourness from the kimchi. It was very perfect for dipping the sourdough bread. For the entree, I ordered the AAA beef tenderloin. It was cooked to a perfect reddish pink. Absolutely tender and smooth to the point of almost melting in your mouth. For dessert, we had the tasters trio of the chocolate creameaux with brownie, Kahlua cheesecake and the vanilla bean creme brulee. All 3 were good but my favorite was the creme brulee. I'm not a big fan of creme brulee but this was to die for. It was not too sweet and the texture was smooth and creamy. They added a candle as we were celebrating my sister's birthday. That was such a sweet gesture.

Absolutely amazing, delicious food. Beautiful atmosphere and wonderful service. Went for our anniversary dinner and had a truly wonderful time. Fiancee got the wagu steak appie and it was melt in your mouth amazing. Prawns were spectacular. We were both thrilled with the mains as well as the desserts we got. And they put candles in our desserts for our anniversary! So thoughtful.

One of the best restaurants in the neighborhood. Super friendly staff and food was amazing. Scallops were huge and lamb chops cooked perfectly. Sable fish was fairly tender with a crispy skin. Complimentary bread could be warmer but no big deal. Plenty of street parking nearby. Highly recommended!

Really liked this place. If you walk a couple blocks from the fake downtown area, this is a real gem. Food was excellent, as was the service and wine selection (nice selection of Okanagan wines by the glass). I had charred cabbage as a side and was totally impressed by this dish. It was so good, I ordered it again in Revelstoke at another restaurant!

After many years of not going to Bravo, we went the other night. We were reminded why it is widely considered to be the best restaurant in Chilliwack. The food was perfect. They accommodated my requests for different sides, and cooked everything perfectly. The drinks were good, the steak was fantastic, the demi-glace was clearly made with attention to the process and the desserts hit home! Seriously, classic creme brulee was as it should be, and the pineapple upside down cake could not have been tastier. This is the one spot that delivers exactly as described. The ONLY thing that I would change has to do with what was going on outside of the restaurant, which the owners, I am sure, have little to no control over. Thanks for a great night out!

For me Bravos is the #1 high end restaurant in Chilliwack. If maybe the only 1. Ive been enjoying the food, cocktails, and atmosphere there since when Damian and Louis, the original owners, created it. The executive chef who has taken over since has continued the level of a delicious menu I always enjoy and recommend when ever I can. Go enjoy a well prepared and conscience menu and expiernce. :):)

I enjoyed the atmosphere of this place. I was given a gift certificate in 2022 and I finally used it. Making a reservation for the Saturday was easy and accommodating. The food however, it left much to be desired. I had the beef stroganoff or whatever the fancy name was. It wasnt bad but lacked flavour. It needed more pepper and the chunks of beef looked not appetizing. I also had a peach iced-tini which I couldnt finish, it was so strong I needed them to add soda water to tame it. My friend ordered the small mushrooms salad -- it wasnt bad but the portion size was small for $17. If I were to come back, I wouldnt order a drink and Id chose something else to eat. The service was average as well, nothing to note that was above or beyond.

THE ULTIMATE HIDDEN GEM. Best restaurant hands down. People in Chilliwack dont seem to understand truly good food. I struggled to find a dining experience worthy of my hard earned money when I moved here until Bravo. Been going there for years now but had the BEST calamari of my life tonight. (In case youre reading this, NO calamari is not a dish restricted to being breaded or battered and deep fried with a side of tzatziki. Understand the dining experience youre setting out to enjoy. Read the menu, ask questions or just trust the chef to make the experience amazing. This place elevates food to another level. Their martini list is amazing. The service is genuine and they make you feel comfortable and welcome even if youre not dressed to the nines. The prices reflect a quality that is truly hard to find nowadays. The portions are better than one assumes is accompanied with fine dining. Skip all the other nice places in town that are tired, lame imitations of one another.

My wife and I went out to try something new tonight and heard bravo was the place to go for fine dining. Upon enterance we noticed that the restaurant feels rather outdated. Took a few minutes to be seated and the waitress was nice enough. Bread was fresh and served warm. We had the prawn lobster bisque and it was pretty tasty but was a tiny portion - something to expect from a higher end restaurant. My wife ordered the seared albacore tuna and I ordered the lamb. The tuna was good and cooked well but the lamb and mushy risotto were absolutely flavorless. After a few bites, the manager came by to check how things were. After complementing the first two dishes, I went on to explain how dreadful the rice was and how the lamb tasted like it was pressure cooked with no seasoning. Harsh words, sure, but honest ones. Instead of the manager apologizing or recommending something else he went on to correct me infront of my wife and sarcastically asked have you ever had RISSOTO before? Well, you may want to educate yourself and look up what risotto is made from - regardless, it shouldnt taste like mush. Judging by the reviews, Im also not the first one to mention this dish either. Needless to say, after explaining to the waitress on how poor the managers customer service skills are he then again returned to our table to reluctantly comp the meal and apologize for his service. I use reluctantly VERY strongly here. Still acted extremely defensive stating that my comment was harsh and that 10 people come to eat the lamb regularly. Well, 10 people aint a whole lot people chief. Maybe those 10 certain people love eating flavorless mush but I sure dont - especially at that price. Manager needs to learn to take the compliments AND the criticism and put his ego aside. Overall, Id say the drinks were good, the food was okay (overpriced), the interior was okay, and because of the manager the customer service a big whopping 0**** (sorry waitress) Will not be returning and will be telling friends and family to avoid.

Wonderful staff, food and martinis! Five us of were there for Dine Chilliwack on Friday. What a wonderful experience. All of us enjoyed our food choices but were enthralled with the martinis we chose. Not to be left out, the wine list is excellent. Their feature red by the glass was Tom Gore Cab Sav which is unusual to find by the glass in a restaurant. We will all definitely be back.

I had the gluten free coconut shrimp with rice for my entree and my husband had the short ribs which was tender and juicy. The portion sizes are large, so you won t leave hungry.

Coming from a big city, and enjoying the ability for fine dining at a brief cab ride from my home was taken for granted. Now, living in Chilliwack, looking for the dining experience that I had in the big city. I was told to try Bravo restaurant, and was completely impressed with the quality of service and its widespread menu. The little elegant hole in the wall. Barely recognized by walking by, but now stands out clearly. From my initial entrance into the restaurant and being greeted by the humble and authentic staff members my experience was nothing short of perfect. If you re looking for an elegant, welcoming, dining experience, Bravo restaurant is definitely the place to be.

We met another couple for a catch up dinner and thought Bravo would be the perfect place. Everything was amazing from start to finish! Martini list is very creative, as well as a nice selection of wines. The feature salad was rich and flavourful and the gnocchi was possibly the best I ve ever had. Entrees were all delicious and beautifully presented. Whether it be the feature Halibut, the Duck Breast, or Lamb Osso Bucco, you can t go wrong.

A great little hidden high end gem in Chilliwack. The service was excellent, the drinks were honest and the food was well presented and prepared. Excellent for times like a Birthday, Mothers Day Valentines Day or other occasions like an anniversary or those guests from out of town you really want to impress. Also a good place to buy yourself out of trouble with the Mrs for that brain cramp you had forgetting that something or to thank her as a date night. Will definitely be back. Vegetarian options: Not a vegetarian personally but a very nice selection for that dietary plan. I think you will be happy with anything off of their menu. Kid-friendliness: Definitely not for the kids. Great adult/higher end (quieter) ambience for the escape from them. Recommended for a Mom Date night!

A surprising gem of a fine dining restaurant, buried in a slightly sketchy part of Chilliwack. We booked a private room for our family dinner to celebrate our parents 50th wedding anniversary. The dinner was easy to book and the food choices on the set menu provided were enjoyed by everyone. The most popular dishes were the arugula and feta salad, the halibut with sausage hash, the beef tenderloin with garlic mashed potatoes, and the chocolate brownie with chocolate cremeux dessert. The server was great with our kids and also with wine recommendations. Thank you for a delicious dinner we wont forget!

Started with a memorable ceasar salad, ended with a light pineapple upside down cake, definitely not like mom used to make. Oh!

Had a great experience for the new years eve 4 course meal. The price was very reasonable at $85 and the portions were very generous. Im not sure they needed to be as big as they were. When I got to the main course I was not as hungry. Not a bad problem to have. The food was elevated and cooked perfect. The lobster bisque was very tasty! The scallops were perfectly cooked The lamb was perfectly cooked The dessert was really good too. We were able to bring our own wine and pay the $25.00 cork fee which is fair. The server was very professional and even had the etiquette of putting her hand behind her back as she poured the wine. She was very attentive and our glasses never emtpy. These are the small details that certainly makes a good experience for a higher end experience. Thanks for a great night out!

Halfway through my first meal at Bravo, I was already penning the 5-star review in my mind. Sadly, the evening didn t end on the same high note it began. My girlfriend Kirsten and I were excited to have a night to ourselves at one of the area s nicer restaurants. While the young lady who served us was pleasant enough, she hadn t taken the time to learn the menu, and had to read the day s specials from a piece of paper. I understand how difficult it is to find staff these days, so I wont make a fuss over that. When the bread basket came, Kirsten and I devoured every fresh-from-the-oven bite, gushing about the texture and flavour. 20 years ago, marvellous bread baskets were a feature at many nice restaurants, but in what I assume is a cost-cutting measure, that s rarely the case today. Bravo s house-baked bread hearkened back to those times, and smothered in the generous pat of butter it was a perfect start to the evening. Our appetite whetted, we anticipated nothing but good things from our appetizer of choice pan roasted cauliflower, featuring toasted hazelnuts, parmesan and truffle cream. Yes, it s exactly as good as it sounds, and our yummy noises were likely overheard on the other side of the bistro. By the time the seared Albacore tuna arrived, I was floating on a happy cloud of perfect company and brilliant food, and based on the presentation alone I was certain this last chapter of our evening s meal would be as good or better as the first two. Alas, it wasn t to be. I arranged a perfect first bite, with a modest slice of tuna sitting atop a swirl of rice noodles, while ensuring the cashew crumble and coconut lemongrass reduction were generously mixed in. I expected great things as I slid the fork into my mouth, but what happened instead was every receptor on my tongue geared to tasting salt went into overdrive. Without being dramatic at all, the effect was pronounced enough that I nearly spit it out, and I LOVE salt. I looked at Kirsten, and she was clearly enjoying her bite. We d split the dish down the middle, so I had a bite of hers, and it was perfect. She had a bite from my half of the dish, and had a similar experience to mine. It was about then that our server arrived at the table, Hows everything? If we re being honest, at more pedestrian restaurants, this question is a courtesy your answer may or may not register with the server, and a complaint may or may not result in any effort to resolve the issue. In a fine-dining establishment, however, this should never be the case. My server listened to my salty story with mild interest, and didn t inquire again later to see if the problem persisted. The fact that I still tipped her 15% was a reflex rather than a gesture of gratitude for excellent service. While paying for our meal, the gentleman behind the bar also asked how the meal was, and I shared my experience with him. He too was unconcerned with the situation, and only said, That s odd, as they don t really add any salt to the tuna. I m generally not lost for words, but his claim was wildly contrary to my experience, and I just stood there open-mouthed for a moment. He was clearly not interested in looking into the issue, and I don t make a habit of begging for quality service or making a scene. We left. I m very grateful Kirsten s half of our dish was missed by the salt cannon, but disappointed that mine was so mercilessly assaulted with it. I have to believe the seasoning catastrophe was an accident a pinch of salt inadvertently becoming a tablespoon when the lid popped off the shaker. While I don t know what happened in the kitchen, I do know the complete disregard for my concerns with two frontline staff members was profoundly disappointing. Even more disappointing is that halfway through the meal I was sure Bravo would be a regular spot for us. We may not be back for a while though not because of a mistake in the kitchen, which can happen anywhere, but rather because the staff absolutely didn t care in the least.

Stylish, sophisticated decor with delicious food and drink! We started with well-crafted martinis - hard to choose from a creative list of options. Caesar salad was fresh, bright and just right, mussels with chipotle cream were outstanding and the artisan bread was perfect for soaking up the sauce. Seared five spice duck breast special was perfectly cooked and deliciously paired with shiitake gnocchi (light as the lightest pillow!), lightly pickled daikon radish, braised bok choy and a tasty, umami-rich broth. Dessert sampler was a sweet ending to a really lovely dining experience. Service was attentive and outstanding as well. We re so glad we found Bravo on our way through town. Worth a stop to savor this chef s fare!

I took my best friend here for her birthday after hearing it was a great place . Well, we were not disappointed! We were a bit worried when we first arrived due to the location and the exterior of the place, but once we were inside we felt better about our choice. We were greeted cheerfully and taken to our table. We were given drink and dinner menus, and told about the specials. We ordered wine, but from what we saw the drinks looked amazing as well. We especially appreciated the amazing fresh warm bread and butter brought to the table. (So many places have stopped doing this ) We both had the beef tenderloin and it was fantastic! Seasoned correctly, with a pat of blue cheese butter on top, it was so tender you could cut it with your fork! The potatoes were thinly sliced and baked then fried in a cake ...amazing! the veg was tender- crisp and fresh. We had crem brule for dessert and it was flavourful, creamy with the right amount of crunchy caramelized sugar on top! The meal was amazing , service great...the only critique would be we did notice the manager doting over some of the other tables, larger groups and maybe regulars...maybe try to make the rounds to everyone if that is something you do regularly. I highly recommend Bravo, and we will be returning.

So glad we came back! We are from Richmond BC, and arrived at 6 on a Tuesday night and did not have a reservation. They were so busy they said there wouldn t be able to take us until 7 pm. We left, looked at other restaurants, and called them to say we would come for 7. We thoroughly enjoyed the homemade bread, the seared scallop appetizer, the osso bucco, and a new entree added 2 weeks ago of red snapper. We recommend making a reservation and asking for a booth. We would come back!

Amazing the best steak I have had in years I ordered a medium rare steak it was cooked to perfection nice and blackened on the outside pink and juicey on the inside covered in pan drippings. Vegetables crunchy on outside soft in the middle . Wife had the pan fried trout which she raved about good wine selection. Staff were great always there but not hovering. Pricing reasonable for the quality. We will definitely be going back

Ordered appy, mussels broke my rear tooth on a rock, showed him my tooth, owner said sorry but cant control problems with mussels. Nothing he could do. And left.discounted a glass of wine, the best he could do. Very unhappy with the Owner lack of response. Ive been restaurant business for 50 years. The very least he should have done was pick up my portion of the bill. He lost my business. Hes there for the Receiving nothing about the responsibility.

I came here for my birthday tonight. Not once was I asked how my food was. Wait staff were okay at best. I was so disappointed with my duck. It was something I could have whipped up at home with ease on an ordinary night. This was my first time coming here. I had been excited to experience Bravo, but will be sticking to Frankies from now on. It is more reasonably priced and the food is much better. I gave Bravo a 2 star due to the beautiful intimate setting.

We have been going to Bravo restaurant periodically for the last 10 years on special occasions. Steaks are cooked to perfection, ceasar salad is actually a ceasar salad with so much flavor, and doesnt taste like vinegar or mayonnaise. The potatoe that comes with the filet mignon was so tasty with a perfect crunch that rises it to a next level. The service is just as one would enjoy, friendly, professional, knowledgeable. We have decided this will be our go to restaurant always not just on special occasions. The food is consistently good and Id rather pay for excellence rather then a hit or miss.

We went to Bravo through the recommendations of Brad at the Royal Hotel (also a great place to stay!). We were greeted by a very friendly server. She patiently answered our questions around the menu. Our food was absolutely amazing! we had Caesar salad, soup and the special of the night which was ribs. Oh, they specialize in Martinis! Yummy. Everything was Scrumpdillyicious. Impeccably clean, met both owners through our server and by the end of our meal, we were beginning to plan our next time we would come through Chilliwack and walk into this fabulous restaurant once again. Thanks for a wonderful evening! Deb and Garry Victoria B.C.

Went to bravo tonight for my birthday dinner paid for by my in-laws. My wife and I have been to bravo multiple times and totally enjoyed it every time. Tonight we were beyond disappointed. My in-laws who were in from Kamloops were not impressed with the service. (They are not particular when it comes to service) The bread that was served was cold ( server said it should be room temp) No! It should be warm ...come on guys. I can only speak to my main dish... I ordered the AAA Tenderloin med rare. It was not at all what I was hoping for. Over cooked big time. Bravo has been a great experience for my wife and I over the last couple of years. Not sure what happened tonight but it was a total fail. Hopefully just a one off.

I have been wanting to go to Bravo for at least a couple years now and last Saturday was finally the day!! Since the moment I walked in, I felt very welcome and a very fun yet relaxed atmosphere! The service was top notch (coming from a former restaurant manager), The server took the time to ask us why we had come in and explain in great detail the special features they had on that night! I might have had one to many martinis but they have over 30 on their menu and they are all fantastic!! I am a vegan and was pleasantly surprised at all the options they had! I had the cauliflower appetizer and the fried tofu farro salad and my non vegan friend has the seared scallops appetizer and Halibut and we were so happy with these dishes! The flavor combinations where fantastic we felt like we were in a high end restaurant downtown Vancouver! I highly recommend this restaurant! I cant wait to go back! It is definitely a hidden gem in the Fraser Valley!!

Not a fantastic meal that everyone described. Had the 6 oz. steak meal. Didnt really care for the potato slab. It was like dry scalloped potatoes. The steak was great, but side portions were very minimal. Didnt want to give a terrible review, as the service was remarkable. Very attentive staff. Unfortunately, the cleaning staff was not very attentive to the cleanliness of the bathroom. As others mentioned, not a safe place to walk out of at night after a few drinks.

The huge mussels were a perfect light flavor profile to balance out the juicy prawns and tender lamb. The quality was on par with high end restaurants in major metropolitan cities. The staff was helpful, caring, and attentive. You can tell the food was made by someone passionate about the craft. The martini I had was expertly made and elegantly served. Last but not least, the chocolate mousse was very rich and creamy. 10/10 We will be back again. Thanks to the chef and staff of this stellar restaurant for a wonderful evening.
