Bravas Bar de Tapas

Fantastic tapas dishes in a recently remodeled warm indoor or outdoor atmosphere. The seafood paella was delicious and I highly recommend it. It had plenty of seafood and just the right about of saffron and spices. We also enjoyed the beets and the Dungeness Crab stuffed peppers. Chef Chris is amazing!🤩

Wow! Just wow! Everything was beyond delicious. We had the asparagus and I wanted to pick the plate. The crab stuffed peppers were heavenly. The papas bravas was a tasty comfy food. We also enjoyed the octopus. Service was great. Atmospher is cozy. We can’t wait to go back.

Nice authentic Spanish food spot. Most dishes were great, The potatas bravas were a major miss, texture was off. Shishitos with chorizo was not great. But Jamon, pan con tomate and anchovies were super high quality and amazingly flavorful. Worth the visit for those three dishes alone. Olives, croquettes and cocktails were very good as well.

We came here on a recommendation from our hotel. The cocktails were very tasty and well crafted. The service team is very friendly, wear fun T-shirts with witty phrases and serve up the small and larger plates as a coordinated family. The dishes were all very tasty. They advise to go with 2-3 tapas plates per person. We went with 4 dishes and a bread to sop up the sauces from the Dungeness crab-stuffed peppers and the Octopus.

2nd time and didn't disappoint. Fantastic food. Gotta try everything, it's worth it. I just wish we had a similar offering in LA.

However, reservations and how they are handled need improvement.

We love Spanish tapas spot located off the Healdsburg Town Square. You have to order the tortilla espanola!! We enjoyed their food and service by Franky! Make sure to make a reservation!

Always my fav restaurant in Healdsburg. Great selection of delicious tapas. Outdoor seating is great, you can bring your beloved pets with you. Enjoy the G&T menu with subtle flavors, pick the one you like.

Good tapas spot in downtown Healdsburg. This was my second time there. Both times we were really happy with the food.

Biggest issues were with the out door patio experience. Service was a little slow - though in fairness they were busy. There were also a ton of flies that seemed to be constantly attacking the food. Not sure what can be done about that.

Overall though, great spot that I’d definitely recommend - especially the dishes pictured.

I enjoyed an excellent experience on a weeknight. The food and cocktails were both delicious. I highly recommend the cured meat, cheeses and chilled soup. Their Barcelona cocktail is exceptional-definitely a cut above the rest.

It's an intimate setting, and the indoor dining area is very crowded without much space to maneuver between tables.

I cannot say anything about this restaurant that would give it less than a 5 out of 5 stars!

Great food, great and friendly service, and nice ambiance - especially if you can sit outside.

Highly recommend the following dishes:
- Mushrooms
- Eggplant chips
- Patatas bravas

Make reservations in advance just to be on the safe side.

Enjoyed the tapas and paella a lot here. The pig ear, mushrooms and octopus were tasty and the paella was a really large portion for two. The octopus was so tender and appetizing. Our server is very attentive and has a precise approximation of the amount of food we could consume.

The restaurant was not very busy at that day but all the servers were super busy. 4.5/5

Everything was perfect at this restaurant! The food came step by step and it was delicious. The people that work there are properly trained in order to make you feel confortable. Both the apetizers and the paella were amazing. The taste is special, it is not similar with other cuisines. I loved it and I highly reccomend to stop by if you sre in the area!

A needed stop on a Saturday Napa tasting expedition netted us a corner patio table with
A magnificent heat lamp, a superb waiter and a tapas exploration which left only satisfaction and sorrow that I live so far away!

When in Healdsburg, CA try the tapas @bravasbardetapas

Really everything we ordered was good. The octopus and the calamari were excellent. They were perfectly cooked, seasoned, and presented. Also the portion was big for a tapas bar. Highly, highly recommended those items.

Then I would also get a tin board. We went with sardines, because they are my favorite. The board comes with pickled veggies, bread, and sauces to top the tinned item you pick. The pickled vegetables were really good, would order these as a standalone item.

The pork cheek bocadillos is the other item I would recommend. The meat is tender and the salsa verde is tangy.

It is a warm welcome you feel from the servers and hostess when you enter this restaurant...
Then, the smell of different tapas being prepared. There are so many choices... even the cocktail list offers lovely choices.
And the paella...amazing! All the blending flavors with a hint of heat.
We definitely will be back for more tapas!

We enjoyed a late Sunday afternoon lunch at this popular spot in. Healdsburg. Madam Wife and Granddaughter One enjoyed the gin cocktails recommended by the waiter.

Daughter One and I went with a very tasty Pinot and a Pilsner for me. Just right.

The crispy fried eggplant was nicely done and very tasty.

We ordered mussels, expecting a bowlful but got the tin with the box on it partway. Delicious on a bit of toasted bread (they brought more upon request) with a dab of aioli sauce and a little bit of the pickled veggies that come with it.

The place was quite busy but the staff did a good job of keeping up the service.

It’s the sort of place we’ll go back to. Inside & patio dining is available and if you want a low table (we had a high top) with chairs on the patio it’s best to reserve ahead of time.

Topas doesn't get any better than this. Outstanding service. Sit on the patio if you can; it's beautiful outside. There are so many choices and just not enough tummy room for all the delicious delights. The Lamb Sliders are scrumptious (see photos). Their octopus was uniquely prepared with olives; I've not eaten it that way before and it was really good. And let's not forget their Sangria; it has the "wow" factor.

The mixologist on the back porch were phenomenal!

The service was great with lively spirits and friendly smiles. The drinks were out-of-this-world good.

We didn't eat any food this time but we'll definitely be going back to this little gem.

The food was delicious. The fried calliflower was very good.

Wow, amazing food. Get the octopus, you won't be let down. The N/A Kava cocktail, out of this world. Thanks to Cole, for the education in Kava, I had no idea! My wife really enjoyed the cheese and his help in selecting her choices. What a gem.

p.s. I won't knock you a star, but your hostess should try and smile and be nicer to people, she was pretty mean to just about every person that came into a restaurant where every other person in the place was happy and nice. (4/7/24)
