Brava Bistro

each month 5 friends from junior high get together for a wonderful dinner out sans kids and husbands.  we alternate picking the locale which i absolutely adore, since it allows me to try all of the great restaurants our beloved city has to offer.

this month's restaurant was courtesy KPM and Brava Bistro.

located at 723 17th SW, this restaurant won top spot in 2012 and placed 3rd overall last year, it also just so happened to be another restaurant that i was eager to check off my culinary bucket list. (which if your keeping track, is two in the last three days, this week is looking tasting pretty good so far)

the eats:

cheese plate |  three unique cheeses, seasonal fruit, candied pecans, crackers

spicy bacon rigatoni |  bacon, garlic, jalapeño, tomato, extra virgin olive oil, parmesan, parsley

(so good it was ordered twice)

prawn & avocado salad |  romaine lettuce, avocado, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, lime vinaigrette

crispy cracklin chicken |  pan roasted, yam fries (substitute), buttered carrots, white wine chicken jus

hamburger |  ground chuck, pickles, smoked cheddar, dijonnaise, arugula, multi-grain ciabatta, pomme frites

cheers to lovely friends & a great cheese plate.  xo.
