  We went on a Saturday night, you can't book but only had to wait 10 mins, we sat at the community table, everyone was cool aside from the one guy on the end who took up two seats and looked like he spent too much time in the gym !!!
  
  We had a black bean salad that was served in a kilner jar very simple it excellent tasting, I made it last night at home I was so impressed.
  
  Then we had a sausage that came in a flaming ceramic dish that was smoked and very porky, we also had octopus that was awesome too.
  
  The ambiance was very European with people talking to each other at the communal table, it's a BYO there is a liquor store one block down that gives 10% off FYI
  
  Conclusion go for great food and atmosphere at reasonable prices read less

It's like a tapas style restaurant so it gives you a chance to try a few different things. We got the Garlic shrimp with rice which was delicious, not too garlic or buttery just perfect!! We also got the grilled octopus which was to die for and the chorizo. The fire chorizo which came in literal fire (hard to explain without showing a picture but def get it). The service was excellent too. It is BYOB read less

We are definitely coming back! read less

  Suggestions for the owner -
  
  Please get AC for the summer months.  We don't eat here when it's hot out because it can be so unbearable.
  
  Look into your seats - they can be pretty uncomfortable.  I don't need anything cushy, but the height of some benches and the seating with the large center "door" table aren't really in line and you can't comfortably pull yourself up to the table to eat.  Just kinda awkward, but an easy thing to fix.
  
  All in all, a great place! read less

  We went to Broa on Saturday night, my party had grown from 6 to 12.  I knew we had a challenge...The staff was very accommodating, albeit we had to wait longer than expected, but they were able to sit us at their large table situated in the middle of the dining room.  The wait was worth the while.  We had a great time, food was plenty, service was phenomenal... when we came to realized the place was empty they had closed and never told us a word.  They let us be and when the time was right they bough dessert and coffee.  I will patronize this locale over and over again and will continue to come with good friends and family for a good time.  I have to thank the staff you guys were great... read less

We are gluten free and they brought us some bread that we could eat. Actually the entire menu the night we went was quite GF friendly.
  
  The service is attentive but not quite fast, but the ambiance makes it the kind of place you want to lazily graze on your dishes and fall in love.
  
  We will be back. read less

Originally we were supposed to be dining at the pizza place a block away, but the wait was almost 2 hours. So with a quick search through Yelp we stumbled upon this place. Broa is a BYOB restaurant serving up Portuguese style cuisines.
  
  Atmosphere: We actually walked past the place thinking this place was at ground floor. It's actually located a few steps down into the building sub ground floor. As you walk in the menu is on the left behind where you open the door. It's on a chalk board wall. They list all the items that their cooking for the day. The place feels as if you stepped into an old style home, but with an open kitchen. The setup of the place was very trendy and very romantic. Great for a date.
  
  Service: The server that greeted us, I'm guessing the owner was well-mannered. Introduced us to the menu and gave suggestions. Spoke Portuguese which is a plus because who really wants to dine-in at a place that isn't authentic.
  
  Food: Amazing food. Small plates and easy to share between 3 people. Tapas style. The portion was just enough for 3. Flavors were amazing and the presentation was on point. Had the shrimp, mussels, chorizo and the stroganoff. The chorizo came on a open flame plate for crusting. For dessert they had authentic Portuguese style egg tarts which is hard to make. Definitely left full and definitely recommend the egg tarts. Will be returning soon. read less
