Brave New Restaurant

User Rating: 2 out of 5 stars

My wife and I dined here for our 7th wedding anniversery. Service was great but food was absolutely horrible. appetizers were decent; Brie soup a little runny, but flavorful; smoked fish very tasty, but served w/store bought crackers, a few onion slices and store-bought mustard. We could have done better at home. Caesar salad was dry w/old crutons and old lettuce. Entrees were another story: Every meat/seafood entree seems to be covered in a sickly-sweet sauce. My vegees looked like they were cooked early in the morning then re-heated prior to service: extremely dry and rubbery. When pointed out to the waiter, he said that the vegees were pan roasted and should look/taste like that (BS!); he offered up steamed vegess instead; I accepted but noticed on my tab that they tried to charge for them--later resolved. The Vennison was absolutely horrible. Thin, indescript cut of meat masked w/fried onions and some kind of wine/onion sauce. I ate a third of it and turned it back. My wife ordered the 8 oz fillet which was cooked correctly, but again covered with too much sauce (are they hiding a flaw?) and cost $29!!!!! I spoke briefly with the manager, but he barely could look me in the eye.

Although a wonderful atmosphere for a romantic evening, do not waste your time. Terrible food for the price and a much better experience can be had at Cajun's Wharf w/much better food (and cheaper!)

Vennison entree removed from bill, which was nice, but bill was still $96 for two (two martini's, two glasses of wind, two appetizers, and two entrees). I expect much more for that amount of money.

The food here was pretty good and they had dishes that are harder to get in LR (ie lamb, veal, etc). Would go back. Great vista over the river. It is in a VERY ODD location and building. If you can get past that you will enjoy the meal.

This restaurant has the quality of food you'd typically get at a "tiny food" establishment, but with larger portions. Great, friendly service, not overly formal or pretentious, and a lovely view of the river. Don't be put off by the location in an office building...the atmosphere is great, and the food is excellent!
