Don’t get the oldest server in the restaurant to wait on a table of 10!!!!! Especially one that does not know the new computer system. Thought we were going to spend the night there.

Service was great!!! The people were very attentive! The food was not bad but was not at the level advertised in my opinion! I could discuss the dishes but it might have been my palate. The atmosphere is definitely an older vibe. My grandparents would have loved the place. Overall the experience left us short for a celebration dinner. Again the service was excellent!

Brave New is my go to when I am entertaining out of town guests or celebrating special occasions. We enjoyed dining on the deck even though it had been raining and the weather was cool. Our service was outstanding. The heirloom tomatoes appetizer is a must if they are available. I thoroughly enjoyed a tuna special and my wife stuck with her usual scallops. The chocolate crème brûlée is one of the best in town. You cannot go wrong at Brave New.

Perfect spot for a birthday celebration. The patio has the best views in Little Rock. The scallops were perfect! My boyfriend added the chicken risotto to his favorite dishes list
