The Bradley has provided me with a warm down to earth experience, from the moment I stepped inside. I chose my seat, then took in the ambience. It is quite a beautiful experience; while making you feel a certain cozy vibe that I feel tends to be lacking in some higher end places. Very nice. I ordered the Beer Battered Cod Sandwich w/ Fries as an added side. The preparation is beautifully made with love. I’m no stranger to the time involved in quality food preparation. So the wait that many others seemed to dislike. I found to be quite normal. The flavors were crisp and fresh. I typically don’t order fried fish. Yet; I decided to try something different and let me say it was both enjoyable and filling. The fries were expertly made with a crisp outer shell and mashed potato interior. Absolutely superb in terms of what a quality Fry should look like. Their housemade sauces were the best addition to the entirety of my meal, from the Cod to the Fries. Delicious. The first bite of Citrus Glazed Vanilla Ice Cream was both irresistibly creamy, then refreshing at the same time. It’s unlike any dessert experience I’ve had. The Warm Apple Fritters were my next bite to be had. A pillow soft Hush Puppy like structure, filled with chopped apples, encased in a succulently sweet glazed layer all over them; with a tasty hint of cinnamon in each bite. Truly remarkable how it manages to be both sweet, yet not overwhelming. The mixture of the Vanilla Ice Cream with that Citrus Glaze alongside these Warm Apple Fritters is worth every last bite. Self control should be well trained before entering this restaurant; as you will likely want to continue experiencing the flavors they provide. My waiter Blake was very professional with his service and demeanor. 5 Stars I’d say for whoever decided to hire him. Accommodating in every aspect. He answered all questions I had, then even helped with some special requests. The Bradley was a nice change of pace for me. I will most definitely be recommending this place for anyone; interested in some unique presentation and new flavor combinations, with a warm...
Read moreComing from Denver back to my hometown of Richland I was really looking forward to a new dining experience. In a nutshell the food was good but way overpriced, it was very loud, and they were slightly pretentious. I will not return. It was $200 for 4 of us to share a few plates and drinks.
We went on a Saturday night around 8 PM. There really is no place to wait there so they advised waiting at the winery next door but they were closed. Luckily we were seated quickly.
The hostess and server were both very friendly. We had to try the $18 whiskey drink and it was nicely presented. Our food arrived accurately and quickly.
One of the glasses of red wine had quite a bit of sediment in the bottom. I know this is normal for red wine but it should be left in the bottom of the bottle and not served. When I pointed it out the server said "I know, it looks gross, doesn't it? That's totally normal though."
We ordered the harissa fries, which came with a home made sauce. The fries were good but I didn't like the sauce so asked the server for ketchup. She laughed and explained that the chef would "freak out" if she asked him for that. She implied that this restaurant was clearly too fancy to carry ketchup. She was friendly with her explanation but I was put off . I've been to very fancy restaurants that carry all kinds of "normal" condiments simply because the customers ask for them.
The wings were surprisingly mediocre, just tossed with a buffalo style sauce and fairly soggy.
The one stand out dish of the night was the milk shake flight. There were three homemade milk shakes, all delicious, served with a small side of french fries.
I respect and embrace the attempt to introduce fine dining to Richland but this is a blue collar town and I think they need to be accommodating to their customers and perhaps lower...
Read morei was disappointed with the service and the food. it took fifteen minutes to get our cocktails, both menu specials, so I know they had everything at hand, AND they had two people mixing drinks; it took 20 minutes to get our appetizer, a charcuterie board that, common sense tells me, took two minutes to plate. the appetizer was a lesson in disappointment that cost me $24. the cocktails were about $17 dollars a piece. I had the 'acts of violets', which was the only thing about my visit that I enjoyed. butternut squash cavatelli would have been better if the pasta weren't overcooked and slimy, and literally looked like some kind of grub or larvae. my date had some kind of cavatelli with a red sauce that tasted like ketchup. the bartender spent 20 minutes chatting with the people at the table next to ours, then ignored us when we tried to flag him down to ask about the drink menu. server played hookie for most of the visit, was rude when she did appear, and only started being nice when she brought us the Bill, apparently ignorant of the concept of working for those tips. I was underwhelmed by the food, the stuck up staff, and the lack of service. the prices weren't higher than I expected, and would be reasonable if they actually delivered on the upscale dining experience, but in my opinion, they do not. It takes a decided lack of either skills, talent, and/or work ethic to mess up TWO pasta dishes and take all of 20 minutes to plate a few pieces of deli...
