Braise Restaurant & Culinary School

"I absolutely cannot express how AMAZING Braise Restaurant & Culinary School was for our reception. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue. We reserved the upstairs room, including the outdoor space that provided a beautiful view of the city. Becky Ayala, the restaurant manager, was a dream to work with. She was responsive to my emails and detail-oriented, which was so helpful during the reception planning process. The beautifully decorated room dazzled guests the moment they arrived at Braise and established the vibe for the rest of the room’s design. We also loved having the outdoor space, which was perfectly decorated, with floral arrangements placed everywhere. We opted for a family-style dinner. Locally sourced seasonal food inspired the menu of Mixed Green Salad, Lemon Risotto, Montreal Chicken and Soy Braised Beef. The food was delicious and the two wedding cocktails, Crazy Dave’s Old Fashioned and Rhubarb Lemonade were wonderful and flavorful. Our waiter, Kira and David, our bartender, were exceptional and on top of everything. The timing of the dishes was efficiently paced to allow sufficient time in between dishes. Everything was superb, and our guests raved about the venue and the food. I cannot recommend Becky and her team highly enough. You will not regret booking your venue in Braise."

"We had our wedding dinner here and the catering was phenomenal. We booked out the first floor and the split between cocktails in the bar area and dinner in the dining room was a nice little change of setting. The braised beef, pork buns, and chocolate mouse were hits, guests even took leftovers home. The lemon curd wedding cake made by the pastry chefs was great and beautifully but tastefully decorated. I hope we can come back for all our anniversaries."

"Braise never disappoints. The drinks were some of the best I’ve had. Pork buns are worth killing for. Dishes and desserts all wowed. The melon was fun and fantastic! The veggie poke was a new dish, and prob the only low point. Too much rice, not enough veg. The whole smashed potato… is this a new trend? Second place I’ve had them. Feels lazy and flavorless."

"A well deserved five stars restaurant with a whole calm, slow, high mood, romantic, and vivid atmosphere. The food presentation is high quality both the dishes serving and server knowledge. Professional, friendly, and kind servers. Clean dining area and free Parking availability near by. Definitely a place to check out"
