Went here for my birthday, 7pm July 7th, I don’t remember the server’s name but she was extremely sweet and described everything very well. Managed to sell me and my roommate on their white Russian ice cream and it was absolutely my favorite thing. Lovely experience, with some friends outside for company.

I really enjoyed the seafood roll. The only improvement I see that could be made is that the chips weren’t great. They were serviceable. I’m supposing they’re house made chips – but they weren’t exceptionally well seasoned or even hot. They were potato chips. Like if “cooked” were a flavor. Those were “no thank you I can’t have the sodium” chips. I know it’s a classier establishment- but offer ruffles as a substitute! But the sandwich was all day amazing! I could have one everyday and twice on Sunday and not be mad at it!

When you live a plant-based life and visit a restaurant that provides a vegetarian option, most often, the dish feels like an afterthought. My experience at Brave New was far from that!!! The Vegetable Pasta was made with love and intention! The presentation and flavor were superb! The service and ambiance were outstanding!

Start to complete finish this was the best dining experience we have had in years! I am SO particular and this place managed to exceed all of my expectations! Our server Wesley, was brilliant! He knew the menu well & made outstanding recommendations on food, wine & the dessert. Love the very unexpected chicken risotto w the PEACHES & PECANS . Love the heirloom tomato salad w burrata & the DARK chocolate crème brûlée is just WOW. Now for the frickin ambiance & VIEW! You really must try this place.

As someone who has grown up going to fine dining establishments, I would rate Brave New at a 6.8 overall. First the restaurant is situated in a business building which makes it a little hard to find. I would prefer to go to a fine restaurant that has brick and mortar but that’s just me. Some people like the speak easy feeling of it. The service was great, very polite and professional. Ben was my server and to also tackle him with two kids he did exceptional. Now for the good stuff! Wine selection…4/10. This is solely based on the fact that this restaurant is compared to Allsop and Chappell, which has a great selection. When I go to a restaurant that is a fine dining restaurant, I look at the wine menu and should see a select few of wines that are hard to find in the area but to my disappointment it was mediocre. Food…7/10. I had venison chops with mashed potatoes and carrots. This dish disappointed me. As a venison lover I would expect to have a little dryness and gamey but this was just not the cooks night. Perfectly cooked but the taste was not to par. The bacon braise as advertised was not there at all and the venison tasted very gamey. The mashed potatoes were great. They were homemade with goat cheese in them and that threw me off in a clever way. I also tasted a few more of the dishes. The stuffed chicken was a 9/10. I’m not a chicken lover but this chicken had me swooning. It was juicy and tender paired with the Boursin cheese and was to die for. Presentation…3/10. The presentation of the plates was very careless and messy. I felt as if the plate was just thrown together and made to look. Could do better on that. The dessert…9.5/10. The desert was by far the best part. I had the homemade butterscotch ice cream and was some of the best I’ve ever had. But the homemade orange cheesecake was absolutely 10/10. It was creamy and fluffy with just the right amount of orange to not overpower the whole thing and that is a hard thing to do. Over all for this place to be compared to Allsop or Sullivans is an insult to those restaurants. I get it that this is an established restaurant in this area but definitely didn’t live up to the hype and could go through a regeneration of menu and selections.

What do you say about a restaurant with a history of excellent food and service, besides “they’re still on top”! All with beautiful views of the Arkansas River. The espresso martinis won’t disappoint and be sure to try the creme brulee!

All we got was dessert but it was very good. The staff was very nice. The prices are very high compared to other places. It might be worth it, but we only got the chocolate creme brulee
