  I've eaten here a few times and have never been served anything that wasn't delicious.  The food is amazing. Today i had the crab/shrimp cakes. And their lobster bisque is exceptional. The service has always been impeccable as well.

  Chelsie is a friendly, efficient, and courteous server! We have yet to come in to this location, but have enjoyed an entrée from a catered employee luncheon. We came in with a coupon book coupon. Chelsie was prompt with anything we asked for, which was very little. We traveled with two grade schoolers, so we got their orders situated first. We ordered an appetizer which came out almost immediately. My husband and I split a salad, which was not only promptly delivered but already separated for each of us. No fuss and I love this amenity in restaurants. She up-sold us on the salad by asking us before we could ask her. The food arrived hot and fresh, just as I was finishing my salad. My only quirk was that she brought me a fresh Iced Tea instead of refilling my already half full glass, but I combined the two and kept my ice. I'm easy to please. Either way, she and the staff made an impression on us and we'll be repeat guests. The food is a little on the pricey side, so it won't be too often, but it won't stop us from returning.!

  I wish they had the gnocchi on the regular menu.  Steaks are pretty good, as is the chicken.  On the pricy-side, but it is a nice restaurant.
  
  Edit:
  They added gnocchi to the menu, and it is crap.  It doesn't taste anything like the "special" from before.  There was hardly any beef, and there were two very large chunks of fat (golf-ball sized).
  
  Our waitress ordered the steak and shrimp, instead of the steak, then charged us for both anyway.
  
  We (couple on a date) had a section to ourselves (restaurant was around 10% full).  For some reason, they placed a family of five (three children) right next to us.  After their arrival, the waitress spent most of her time with the family and not assisting us.
  
  I used to be a fan (4-stars), but the quality has gone way down along with the portion sizes.  Save your money and head next-door to BJ's.

  We visited this location a while back on a trip to visit family.  I must say I really was hoping this would be much better, but it was not.
  
  To start off the dinner they had a list of specials posted at the table.  When we went to order one of the specials they said it was for bar patrons only, so they could get more people to sit in the bar.  I asked the waitress to request a manager override that because there wasn't anything saying they were bar only specials.  She refused.
  
  This interaction to start the meal put a real sour taste in my mouth.  The food wasn't nearly good enough to get that taste out either.  Unmemorable, under seasoned, and over priced.  
  
  My advice to anyone looking to eat at Bravo is to just pass it on by and head across the street to one of the good old stand by Italian restaurants.

  Probably the best sit-down chain restaurant in Greenwood. I had the Scallops and Gnocchi which was perhaps a little salty/oily but overall very good. I give them points for including sweet potatoes and a nice original sauce. I also sampled a seafood pasta dish that was very good. We went on a week night and the service was very good. Our waitress was nice and attentive. If I could be picky I'd say that the decor was a little fake Italian cheesy. But, who cares about decor if the food and service is good?
  
  Almost a four star restaurant and that's saying a lot for a chain. I'd definitely go back next time I'm looking for a nicer restaurant on the south-side.

  I lied in our last review: we did go back. This time, for my mother's birthday. Again, the food was good, but the service was horrible - the server was anything but polite, and she kept putting her elbows and arms in front of our faces and over our food when she'd reach across the table. I know this can't necessarily be avoided all the time when serving, but she had no concept of personal space or keeping her sleeves out of our food.
  
  I think I'll stick to the north-side Bravo locations for now.
