Classy museum restaurant boasts exemplary modern American fare, plus an evolving art exhibit.

The Scene
This second-floor restaurant earns its laudatory name by way of a stylish indoor seating area and an exceptionally eclectic menu. Lunchtime patrons are mostly museum visitors taking a well-deserved break, while dinner hours find area executives (and lovebirds) enjoying a live pianist and sampling the bar's specialty cocktails and adventurous wine list. The sharp, orange-red dining room, which features an ever-changing selection of paintings, is constantly patrolled by efficient servers.

The Food
For a limited menu--expect only four options per course--Bravo covers an impressive amount of culinary ground. Starters include delicious homemade soups (smoky lobster chowder with applewood bacon) and colorfully arranged sushi platters (fresher than what you'll find at most Japanese restaurants). Free-range chicken with pear and blue cheese is typical of reasonably priced entrees. For dessert, try the milk chocolate layer cake with creamsicle ice cream.

Opentable Reservations

Nestled among the grand masters of art and design in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Bravo Restaurant stirs your senses with its seasonally inspired Progressive American Cuisine. The sophisticated dining experience is enhanced by impeccable service; a warm luxurious room and a wine list for those who truly appreciate something unique. Bravo itself is a work of art with bold colors and clean lines created by famed restaurant designer Peter Niemitz. The inviting, warm ambiance complements a rotating selection of some of the Museum's modern and contemporary masterpieces. Appropriate to its name, the restaurant's first installation included recently acquired works by Chilean artist, Claudio Bravo.
