Bravas Bar de Tapas is a restaurant known for its delicious tapas and great service. The portions are generous, and the menu offers a variety of options, such as Iberico jamon, jamon sandwiches, bacon-wrapped dates, gazpacho, tomato toast, and patatas brava. The white sangria and wine are also popular choices among customers. The back patio is a pleasant spot to dine on warm days, and customers have enjoyed sitting outdoors, appreciating the ambiance and the ability to bring their pets. The servers are friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, making for an enjoyable dining experience. The patatas bravas, pulpo, and paella were amazing, with the paella being described as a saucier variety that tasted rich and flavorful. The food is always excellent, and the wine and cocktail selection is top-notch, with customers particularly enjoying the sangria. The decor is gorgeous and comfortable, making it a great spot for a meal. While the service and tapas were excellent, some guests noted distractions from unsupervised children. Overall, Bravas continues to be a favorite for both locals and visitors in Sonoma County.
Food was fantastic, setting is lovely, needed our drinks to arrive with our food not after. Would definitely go again.

A delightful experience! A very hot night but eating outside was perfect. There are fans all around so it was just the right temperature. Excellent food.

We were lucky enough to be seated next to the Friday paella pan, so we got to watch the paella being made start to finish. The small plates let you try many different dishes. One word of warning, though: the white sangria with cava packs a mighty punch!
The local Stark restaurant empire zeroes in on the tapas motherland, Spain. Obey the neon "jamon in" sign and cross the threshold of this inviting bungalow. Retro-chic décor mashes up warm colors and imagery evocative of Spain, where '60s-psychedelic meets sleek-modern, including a minimalist glassed-in fireplace. Year-round outdoor dining includes an expansive deck bar and a festive heat-lamp-strewn, partially-covered patio. Tapas are separated into chilled and warm options: sliced-to-order jamon Ibérico, roasted red beets, tuna belly salad and Spanish white anchovies, or bacon-wrapped dates with blue cheese and Marcona almonds. Try the bocadillos, small sandwiches of duck meatballs with a spicy tomato paste and green olive purée, or traditional Serrano ham and manchego with truffle paste. House-made paella is a worthy shareable entrée. Wines are Spanish or local, by the glass, half liter and liter. Or try a Spanish-inspired cocktail. Finish with a scoop of Strauss soft-serve vanilla ice cream drizzled with tangerine oil and sea salt.
