  The two of us got there right at opening on Wednesday (6PM) and got a table easily. However, they do not take reservations for parties of 2, so plan ahead! By around 7:30 the place was full.
  
  The atmosphere is cozy, with dim lighting, and rustic furniture. The small kitchen is open and smells amazing. This would be a great place for a date.
  
  Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, giving us great recommendations. He worked the whole floor, sat people, and bussed tables all by himself, and still was kind and energetic.
  
  We ordered/shared a delicious cheese platter, chorizo, and custard for dessert. All were so delicious, worth the high prices. The live fire presentation on the chorizo was awesome too, and gave the chorizo that delicious charred taste.
  
  Overall, I highly recommend this place- and bringing a bottle of wine with you! read less

It delivers on taste, quality, ambiance, service and good company. Sat down with a random couple because only a four seater was open last night. Ended up ordering a ton of food all of which we shared with our new friends (vice versa): mussels, pork belly, quail, tomato salad, chorizo, seafood rice, wow! The ambiance is similar to being at a friends place who likes to cook (me) -- very cozy, friendly, fresh food right off the stove. I'm impressed of what they can deliver through such a tiny kitchen. In the summer their outdoor dining (which they recently expanded) is amazing. I love that Broa exists -- feels like mini escape to Portugal for a home cooked meal. Menu changes everyday -- trust your waiter, he/she won't steer you wrong 5++ We left with our belly's fool and with a new set of friends who love food, just like us. Dessert(s) of the day with a can of guarana and an espresso for the closer....you're welcome! read less

Broa is small, semi-intimate, and understated. Walking by various times, I never even noticed the downstairs entrance into the restaurant. Take a photo of the chalkboard menu, it's updated everyday-- there's no menu. We were welcomed by the owner. Bring your own wine or beer: there's a store located about 2 blocks south (CoolVines on Grove). We had Pastéis(Bolinhos) de Bacalhau (cod fish cakes), Mexilhão (mussels) with garlic and chorizo. Small portion plates like "largish tapas." Delicious! read less
