   They no longer serve brunch even though it is still featured on their website. Pretty disappointing after making reservations and heading downtown to get a mediocre over priced steak with shoestring fries. The server laughed when we asked for the brunch menu and said you’re not the first to ask, no apology or offer of doing something to make up for their error.

   Good was very good. Service by Lisa was excellent. The restaurant is very open and tables close together so it was noisy.

   We come to Braven every year as a tradition to celebrate our anniversary, and we are never disappointed! The ambiance, service, and quality consistently impress my husband and I. This time Braven went up and above for us, making us feel so special. Thank you, Braven - we will see you next year!

   Can be loud and hard to converse at the table. Otherwise everything was excellent.

   Vivo is our favourite restaurant and we love sitting at the counter. So much action watching them cook and the staff are so friendly.

   What a wonderful evening from start to finish. Warm greeting, then welcomed with a happy birthday plaque at the table. Our server Lisa was incredible. Professional, funny, informative, and always on point! Thank you Lisa for connecting with our experience! Beautiful land and sea platter. The oysters were so good we ordered a dozen extra. So fresh. The elk tartare amazing! We sat at the Chef’s rail and got to watch all of the action, including our giant Porterhouse being grilled rested and carved. So appetizing ! The pear sour cocktail was one of the best cocktails I’ve ever tasted. Literally, the cherry on top, the banana split!!! Cinnamon sugar waffle, three flavours of gelato, brûléed banana, chocolate bark, and happy birthday wishes in chocolate on the plate. Way to knock it out of the park Braven. What a great place to go when you want to”do it up”. Also, brilliant wine list. Thank you for making such a memorable night.

   My wife and I had a fantastic evening again at Braven. It has become our favourite restaurant in Edmonton. Our server Melanie was attentive and knowledgeable and knew exactly when to give us space and when to attend to us. The food was fantastic again. The grilled shrimp on the birch fire was even better than the steak!

It sounds like Melanie really nailed the balance of attentive service and giving you space to enjoy your evening. We’re also so glad to hear that the grilled shrimp on the birch fire impressed you – we agree, it’s a standout! We can’t wait to welcome you both back for another fantastic experience!

   I recently visited Braven in the Ice District for a date night on Friday and had a wonderful experience. Our server Allicia was exceptional - attentive and thoughtful throughout our meal. When making the reservation, I mentioned my date prefers drinks that don't taste like alcohol, and Alicia took special care to recommend perfectly tailored options. Her food recommendations were spot-on. The brussels sprouts were fantastic as an appetizer, and the Chateaubriand we shared was absolutely delightful. The combination of excellent food and Alicia's outstanding service made for a memorable evening. Her attention to detail and personalized recommendations truly enhanced our dining experience. Braven has gained two fans!

    Turning into my favourite “fancy” dining place in Edmonton. Great food, great service and an awesome location.
