Restaurant Review of a'Bravo in Green Bay, WI

A'Bravo Bistro is a restaurant on the far east side of Green Bay in the Bellevue area. The interior is reminiscent of a Moroccan style cafe. A few of the interior tables are adorned with maroon colored sheer curtains partially open in a tent style with a crystal chandelier hanging above the tented ceiling which made the restaurant look not only unique, but very cozy. Large, ball and star shaped paper lanterns hang from the ceiling giving off a warm glow. On entering there is a small counter with a register and a clear case filled with wonderful looking bakery and pasta items. To the left are tables for dining and a small bar towards the back. To the right of the counter are more tables and a few booths. There also are large picture windows surrounding the restaurant with a dark brown and maroon color theme. Overall the a'Bravo restaurant is decorated in an upscale manner and very clean looking.

As soon as I entered I was greeted in a friendly manner by the server and was brought to a booth with a menu to peruse. I was then brought out ice water in a clear glass and was told of the specials and soups of the day. I decided to order their Rustic Lovers Salad for $11.95 and a hot blueberry rooibos tea for $2.50. The tea came in an insulated red ceramic tea pot with a strainer inside containing the loose leaf tea which was infusing in the hot water of the tea pot. The tea also served with a mug and a plate with a lemon wedge and a packet of honey. My tea was hot with a very deliciously smooth and light flavor. The salad was then brought out. It was a large portion and comprised of a mound of piled high spinach and romaine lettuce and layered on top was roasted pistachio nuts, sautéed red onions, sautéed diced bacon, diced smoked turkey breast cutlets, dried craisins and sprinkled on top with fresh parmesan cheese. Served with the salad was a caraway rye dinner roll with a pat of butter. I really liked the salty, smoky, and sweet combination and the ingredients balanced out nicely. The oil from the sautéed bacon and onions was enough that I had to use very little of my parmesan ranch dressing which I had ordered on the side. The rye dinner roll was very fresh and soft inside while the exterior was slightly crusty. The service was very attentive throughout lunch and I was brought more refills of ice water and hot water for the tea. In addition to lunch a'Bravo also serves breakfast and dinner.
