    We arrived to friendly staff and seated quite quickly or ordered was taken and we were eating with in minutes of sitting down. It was happy hour so ordered drinks from the bar which made them quite reasonable, it was Wednesday so the restaurant was a lot quieter than we had experienced in the past . Food just kept coming and it was all lovely. Had my fill thought it was Christmas again. Very happy good job all round Braza . The tipping on pay screen was very new to me getting more like America

    From the moment we entered "Neptune's Grotto" I knew we were in for a splendid evening. And we weren't disappointed. I am a big fan of a short Menu where you want to try everything on offer. And this is exactly what was displayed. The food was superb and the extensive Wine List was deletable. Heavily leaning on Italian Wines -and rightly so - there was something for every price range. The food was superb, the décor romantic and the whole experience made me sad we had to leave. But we will be returning.
