    Even though we had a reservation, they gave us the option of indoor or outdoor. We requested both and they were very accommodating. We started off outdoor drinks and then indoor for our meals. I love our drinks and food are delicious. I do recommend this for date night or maybe a smaller intimate gathering. In this case or our friends birthday. Thank you Chris for the birthday shots. Our bill was under 600 and totally worth it! Check out the restrooms. They're very cute.

    Definitely a hidden gem! I LOVED the vibe of this place. Service was great from the security at the front to our waiter! Great energy overall. The drinks were delicious. I can't believe it was my first time here but I will definitely be back! My friends and I had a great time. We only went for drinks but I can't wait to go back and try the food. Great addition to downtown Covina!!

    I've lived in this area for over 25 years, and I can't believe it took a place like this to open just four months ago. I had the chance to meet the owner, and he was such a genuinely kind guy. You can tell he put a lot of thought into creating the space because the vibe is incredible dark, aesthetic, and perfect for a date night or drinks with friends. We shared one of the flatbreads, and somehow ended up ordering an espresso martini.. and I'm so glad we did because it was honestly one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had. The service made the experience even better. Our server was so much fun, had the biggest smile, and brought such great energy to our table. I wish I could remember his name because he deserves the recognition.

    Cool and beautiful unique spot located in downtown Covina. It has an exclusive speakeasy vibe, playing Afro-house chill tunes. The menu was a bit smaller than I wanted, but great for sharing. I tried the ahi tuna tartare, bravado burger, and apple orchard salad with added steak. Surprisingly everything was very filling. Cocktails were delicious but a tad bit too sweet. Dress to impress since it's a classy, upscale and trendy spot.

    Two Words: Bravado Burger Hands down thee best burger in my own humble yelp opinion... the perfect bite, perfect bun, and condiments. Far from dry, delicious flavor and meat ratio. Im a huge fan of the Father's Office burger and this burger is just like it, if not better. And the great thing is, it's so much closer to home!! Wonderful service as always, and never can get enough of the elegant location, seating and views. And they do have TVs for world Cup viewing!!

    I have been here several times and they don't disappoint. I keep forgetting to add review! The food and drinks keep bringing me back. The ambiance and music are fun for a date. Love the Sinatra nights!

    Checked out Bravado in downtown Covina last night and overall had a great experience. We had an 8pm reservation and as soon as my date and I walked in together, he was informed he needed to remove his hat. No issue at all -- I completely understand and respect a dress code. The ambiance is beautiful, intimate, and exactly the kind of upscale vibe Covina has needed. They also had great cocktail options and I appreciated seeing additive-free tequila selections. Food was excellent. I ordered the Caesar salad with baby gem lettuce and added chicken -- seriously so good. My date ordered the burger and it was delicious. We also shared the truffle fries, which I believe are hand cut, and I loved them. Service was great and overall we really enjoyed the experience. My only complaint: I noticed a gentleman, possibly the owner, walking around the restaurant wearing a casual hat. It felt a little inconsistent considering guests are required to remove theirs. If there's a dress code for customers, I think staff and management should probably follow the same standard. Other than that, definitely check this place out. Covina needed something like this.

    Came by Bravado on a Friday night and was a bit disappointed. First we almost didnt get in because someone in our group was considered underdressed for wearing heels with pinstripe joggers, despite there being many people there in jeans and casual shoes. We managed to get in "as a one time deal" but it was a bit embarrassing considering we were told in front of all the people waiting. We ordered drinks and they were not very good. The drinks were very sweet and you could barely taste the alcohol. Not to mention my glass was sticky and my sister's glass had finger prints all over. After that we decided not to order any food. The inside of the place itself is very cute and our server was very nice.

    First time to Bravado a few weeks ago and it was nothing short of amazing. I ordered the sashimi grade Salmon Crudo which was prepared perfectly with fresh greens and produce that complemented the flavor so well. I also highly recommend the paper planes cocktail slightly bitter upfront with an incredibly refreshing aftertaste. Black Dahlia (7/10) and Bravado Old Fashioned (8/10) were also tasty. The ambiance of Bravado when I went was very lively and energetic. They played house style music and stuff, a bit on the louder side but as someone who loves his music loud I felt right at home. The place was bustling. It's very dim in here with accent lighting which makes for a great romantic experience. The bartenders are very busy and extremely backed up with tickets but are able to manage even with the extra large bar top and incoming tickets. My server for the night, Gaby was incredible from start to finish. She is very hospitable and so knowledge about all the food & beverage offerings. Service like this turns a good experience and turns it into a great one. Thank you Gaby. I will definitely be returning to Bravado soon.

    This hidden gem just recently opened in my neighborhood. I had no reservations and was able to get a seat at the Bar, was the best for me cause that where all the fun at. Amazing experience..... Absolutely love the ambiance 100/100 Enrique the Bartender I asked him to make me something with Rye Whiskey and berries He Delivered ! My new best friend. Food: Delicious... had the Bravado burger Juicy and the home made chips ,just fried just right, thin and perfectly crispy. The Cacio Pepe ,a must try dish pasta and salmon. Didn't disappoint. Served the perfect amount. I asked for my salmon Blackened. There was a Dj playing music ,I thought it was a little too loud for the space. Hopefully the manager will read this. Looking forward to coming back.

    10/10 recommend Such a great gem! This place has the perfect speakeasy vibe with a small, intimate atmosphere that makes it feel cozy and unique. The indoor space is beautifully designed, and the bar seating is especially nice if you're looking to enjoy a drink and watch the bartenders at work. They also have a lovely outdoor patio that's perfect for relaxing with friends or enjoying a date night. The service was excellent, friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. The food was just as impressive, and everything we ordered was delicious. Overall, this is an amazing spot with great food, great service, and an incredible ambiance. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend checking it out!

After months of planning, I was naturally nervous, but Bill made the whole process so much easier. He was incredibly accommodating, patient with all of my questions, and always willing to work with me to make sure every detail came together. Most importantly, he was true to his word. Everything we discussed beforehand was delivered exactly as promised, which gave me so much peace of mind. The staff was just as amazing. They were friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care that everyone was having a great time. They kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes so I could relax and enjoy such a special evening with my family and friends. The venue itself was beautiful, clean, and created the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the space, the service, and how well everything was organized. Seeing the look on my husband's face when he walked into his surprise party is a memory I'll treasure forever, and this venue played a huge part in making that moment possible. Thank you, Bill, and your incredible team, for helping create a night our family will never forget. I would recommend this venue without hesitation and would gladly host another event here in the future.

The service was extremely slow to start--we waited a while just for water and to get drink orders taken. We ordered the Ahi tuna appetizer, which was good, but the course pacing completely fell apart after that. Our salads took 25 minutes to arrive. Before I could even get the fresh ground pepper I requested, our main courses were rushed to the table while we hadn't even started our salads. The food quality was unacceptable for an upscale restaurant: Both my wife and I ordered our steaks medium-rare. Mine arrived completely leathery, dry as a bone, and thoroughly overcooked. I didn't eat a single bite of it. My wife's steak arrived medium-well, and her side of rice was completely dry. The bottle of red wine we ordered from their very small wine list was served warm. When we declined having the steak re-fired or free dessert, we finished our wine and asked for the check. The $62 inedible steak was still on the bill, so I asked to speak with the owner. When I calmly explained the issues, the owner became angry that I didn't want the steak redone and walked away mid-conversation. He eventually came back, removed the $62 steak, and told us he didn't want us back in his restaurant. To top it off, for an establishment charging fine-dining prices where guests dress up, the owner was wearing shorts and sneakers. One chance is all a restaurant gets to make a good impression. Lincoln House missed the mark completely. We will not be returning.

Jorge came outside multiple times, clearly saw how many people were waiting, and even recorded the crowd on his phone three different times for social media. Knowing the capacity of the restaurant, he could have easily informed everyone that the remaining people in line would likely not get in. Instead, we waited over three hours with no communication. While we were waiting, I repeatedly watched people call Jorge. He would come outside, greet them, and bring them straight inside. I personally saw this happen at least six different times. When it was finally our turn to speak with the host, we were told there were no seats left, that we would have to stand, and that we wouldn't even be able to order food. I confronted Jorge about letting those other groups in ahead of everyone else. His response was that he knew them personally and that they were friends of the restaurant owners. That explanation only made the situation worse. My wife had just finished a 14-hour hospital shift, and we came here hoping to enjoy the game together. Instead, we spent three hours waiting only to be treated as though our time didn't matter. What was most shocking was Jorge's attitude. He literally told me, "They won't do anything to me if you post this. I'm friends with the owner." If that's the mindset of management, it's no surprise customers are treated this way. It truly felt like only friends and family received special treatment while everyone else was left waiting without honesty or respect. I have no issue waiting when things are busy, but I do expect transparency, fairness, and professionalism. Unfortunately, this experience showed none of those qualities.

Amazing…read morebeers, delicious food, a cool hybrid restaurant setup, attentive staff with cool uniforms. The place was the sh*t. I've come here several times over the past couple years and it's more and more dead at the restaurant every time. The waitresses are absolutely dreadful. Every request is forgotten or takes 20 mins to arrive at the table. When we arrived we waited 20 mins for a waitress. We asked for some sauce, they forgot. We ordered a pizza, which was delivered to the wrong table. When we wanted to leave, the check took 20 mins as well. Now I have a crying baby and I'm waiting for them to try and split the check two ways and I eventually give up knowing that the task is too much for them to handle and just pay it all on one card. We had to track down the waitresses multiple times. It's like they have NO ability to anticipate the needs of their customers. "They ordered, pizza, maybe I should bring some plates". Nope! "They'll probably want their sauce before the food item is ICE COLD". Nope! Anytime we went into the restaurant the girls were on their phones. There were five tables in the restaurant tonight so there really was no excuse. I think this will be the last time I ever go to this restaurant. Unfortunately, the reputation of the old Congregation Ale House kept me coming back even when time after time, the service was abysmal, however, now that Congregation's former glory is thoroughly tarnished I can honestly say that I will not be coming back and I encourage everyone else to do the same. Quality like this cannot be tolerated. Travis, the former owner, would be ashamed of this fall from grace. R.I.P. Congregation Ale House
