Brosia Beautiful

If you want to escape to the Meditteranean without the flight, hotel stay, or travel expenses, Brosia Restaurant will do the trick. Situated in the Design District, Brosia transports you to a different world. The wall-covering Mosaic, the 4,000-square foot outdoor terrace, and the tremendously tall white colunms make-up a beautiful design.

Artistic decor is not all Brosia has to offer. The food is also worthy of praise. Everything from the starter hummus, served with pita chips, to the seared ahi tuna, accented with a tuscan white bean puree, to the pomegranate cosmopolitan tasted fresh and authentic. If you like plenty of options, beware because their menu is limited, but the choices are well thought out. Sometimes contemporary restaurants serve too little food for too much money; however, in Brosia, as shown in thier Parpadelle Pasta below, expect just the right portion.

Although the restaurant seemed to be full, it was amazingly quiet. Enjoying your friends' company is quite easy here. We sat along a huge back wall on a bench covered in brown, orange, and light blue pillows. I loved it because the outdoor setting is home-y, but still upscale. Once the Design District has fully undergone its transformation, Brosia will be one of THE places to dine.

As for now, I would suggest heading to Brosia to start your weekend off. The restaurant will make unwinding a little easier, and make you feel like your on vacation.
