    As always, the service that staff provide is above and beyond. I love to bring colleagues from abroad to experience this high quality, upscale spin on southern food. It really sets a high bar! Of course, we came in like a storm and too many people followed us from the office, and the staff (especially Olivia W) handled it with grace, kindness, and humor. The food is ALWAYS amazing. The presentation of the plates, the quality of ingredients, and the environment just make for an overall wonderful experience. I cannot recommend enough!

    Was glad to be able to enjoy a fine Christmas Day dinner at Braise. Was our first visit and the availability of a buffet smorgasbord made for a pleasurable experience. Staff was very good considering they were working on Christmas day. Nice atmosphere and comfortable seating arrangements. Would definitely come back again.
