   Kitty’s culinary skills are show cased at their wine dinners. Wines are interesting and sommeliers add their knowledge which enhances the whole experience.

   Had dinner with 3 friends. At the table was duck, paella and trout. Everyone was very pleased. Special appetizer was pancake with shrimp. Sounds weird but was delicious, I had to share with everyone. Soooo good. This is a great neighborhood restaurant, recommended if you are anywhere nearby.

   This is the 3rd or 4th visit for us. We both enjoyed the wonderful duck confit and our chef's special appetizers were tasty starters. Especially enjoyed it with the pinot noir suggested by our server. Desserts were heaven. I recommend for those seeking fine food, good service, & atmosphere for conversation. Looking forward to my next visit.

   Outstanding food! The shrimp and octopus was flavorful, the octopus was tender, loved the addition of the olives. The scallop was great, the veal with the espresso rub was great as well. Also loved the beignets! And the Portuguese wine pairings were delicious as well. Loved pairing of two wines with shrimp starter, red and white! Eric did a great job with wine parings. Kitty is a great chef. So fun to eat her food for the wine dinners, we look forward to our next wine dinner.

   It was our first 'wine dinner' at Costa Brava Bistro and we loved it! A four course meal paired with five Portuguese wines. Chef Bailey served a shrimp and octopus appetizer, a scallop and greens salad, a tasty veal dish as our main and for dessert, beignets! The first three courses were paired with a combination of whites and reds and the beignets came with an excellent Madeira. Great food, wine and the full house added to the upbeat atmosphere! Fun time.

   The food flavors here are always good and the ambience is very nice and romantic. My only complaint this time was the food was served lukewarm. I like my food served hot. there is always a bit of a wait for the waiter to serve you once you arrive as well. Even sometimes to bring the menu to your table can take 10 minutes.

    Wonderful Gazpacho, we have it as an appetizer and sometimes even for dessert! Love the Scallops, Beef and Trout, especially. The Manchego Cheesecake is a fabulous ending as well!!
