"With its prime location on 17th Avenue S.W., and more than a decade of practice, Brava Bistro just might be the standard-bearer for contemporary cool in Calgary. Find an ever-changing selection of unique wines by the glass and appetizers that are great for sharing, like the lobster gnocchi and lobster poutine. On the dinner menu, dishes like the beef short rib ... have almost earned legendary status among Calgary diners. And don't forget to try a side of Brava's delicious mac and cheese." – Avenue Magazine
John Gilchrist & Catherine Caldwell review Brava Bistro's Sunday Supper:
"On the first Sunday of any given month, you'll likely find us tucked into our regular corner table at Brava Bistro. We'll be enjoying "Sunday Supper" with a couple of friends, a tradition that now spans a few years... It's Sunday Supper, after all, and it's all about friends, family and a fine feed."

Review by Brian Rasmuson, FAB Food & Wine:
"If you think fried chicken from down south is good – look out Calgary! A country twist on a classic, this chicken dish was accompanied with horseradish, mashed potatoes and a touch of au jus. Yummmmm…Each dish was cooked to perfection and satisfied everyone's taste buds... Each of us sat in full contentment with smiles stretched ear to ear, what an amazing dinner we'd just experienced!"
