Broma

Another unforgettable visit to Broma! Two dishes were extraordinary today:- charred broccoli gnudi: the char is so pleasantly strong that it made my head spin. I've no idea what techniques they use to make gnudi with broccoli but yet so smooth.- lemon cheesecake: the sauce had a delicate balance of acid + bitter to it and made every bite irresistible. If you look at photos in my previous reviews you'll notice an older version of the cheesecake, which was also fantastic, but they just keep innovating and improving. One thing I didn't like today was the eel barbocoa. The skin was impossible to cut through and very chewy. I felt the idea might've worked if they made it bite-sized. Flesh texture and Overall flavor was great, though.

Came here for a work dinner and the atmosphere is pretty cozy. I do recommend the chicken croquettes and the steak with risotto. Both were tasty and phenomenal! The calamari and Spanish breakfast weren't anything too special for us. Also wish the Spanish breakfast came with a little more bread. The Calamari was 10/10 presentation but the flavor was a bit chewy and fishy. The steak risotto was so addicting and very savory, could have eaten a whole plate to myself! The chicken croquettes was juicy and flavorful was well. The chocolate flavor cake had an interesting flavor as well with the sauce. Overall this place has some good dishes but it is a little bit on the pricier end.

The food here is tasty, but WAY too small and expensive for what it is. I came here with a group last night and everything on the menu sounded delicious, but we all had to go out to eat somewhere else afterwards because all of us were starving when we left. I ordered the Day Boat Scallop Crudo which was very delicious, but about two tablespoons of food at most. The majority of the bowl is just a foam garnish. Even for a high end restaurant, $26 for what arrived on my plate is preposterous. They also advertise this as "shared plates", but there is no way to share many of these dishes because they are so tiny. All of the staff members were wonderful, but I won't be back because of the value.

Tried Broma since I was staying at Shashi hotel and they gave a meal credit. The service was excellent and I hate only giving it 3 stars but the food was just not our taste. Broma is set as Spanish tapas so we had the hamachi crudo small plate which was our favorite plate, though very spicy! We also had the hand formed Cavatelli (large plate) which we didn't like. It didn't have any flavor and we couldn't finish it despite us splitting the dish. For dessert, we had the salted caramel chocolate tart which was good but super rich, thank goodness we split that! We also ordered the flan but it tasted really weird and too strong of orange so we couldn't take more than 2 bites each.All in all, I really appreciate the service and they were really accommodating when they saw we weren't liking the dishes. But I probably won't be back to Broma.

Nice comfortable outdoor space that is pup friendly. Service was meh, took forever to get them to bring us our check - maybe because we were sitting outside vs inside. Food was decent, a tad pricy, drinks were decent. Feels more like a place for work related event vs intimate friends gathering. Total came to approx $80/person.

Cute ambiance for a catch-up or date. Spanish fusion with tapas, charcuterie and some mains. We ordered the beef tartare, chicken croquettes, tokyo turnips. As a whole the tapas we ordered were good, however each dish seemed to be skewed and not balanced harmoniously. My favorite was probably the chicken croquettes. The turnips and beef tartare both were too salty and the textures didn't mesh well together. As many other reviewers have echoed about the food similarly the service however was wonderful.

I came here with a group of friends to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and made a reservation online through their website. Broma is located on the first floor of a hotel and there was plenty of street parking, as well as parking inside the structure.I was excited to try out Broma because I read that the chef is Michelin-starred and the food prices were reasonable considering the caliber of experience. To share, we ordered pan con tomate, spicy arbol shrimp, and pitchers of the lychee sangria. My absolute favorite dish was the pan con tomate. The combination of the tart tomato, smooth olive oil, and fattiness from the bacon was absolute perfection! So so soooooo delicious and simple! For our entrees, my boyfriend and I decided to just go with the tapas and ordered the chicken croquetas and serrano charcuterie board, which were both solid. We also got the fideua negra, similar to a paella, to share with everyone and I thought this was just okay. The pasta/grain had a texture I didn't expect - it was so chewy that it tasted undercooked. The service was amazing and everyone was super friendly and helpful. I had brought a cake and they offered to put it in the fridge for us to keep chilled. All in all, nice spot for tapas and delicious drinks! They have a full bar but I was perfectly content with my lychee sangria.

Was staying at the hotel in which this restaurant belongs to, and decided to dine here for the convenience as there aren't too many other dinner options nearby, or would require a bit of a drive to get to. It was rather quiet and empty on a Monday night, and so we were seated promptly. My partner and I ordered the wagyu tartare, paella, and flan for dessert. I can't in all honesty say that I recommend these dishes. I felt like each fell short of the price it was set at. The tartare wasn't anything special or notable--portion was a bit small, traditionally flavored with mustard, capers, and served with an egg yolk brushed sesame cracker that didn't hold its crisp well, and went soggy because of the egg yolk.Paella was a bit odd to me--I haven't had a paella made with pasta noodles before, but wasn't a fan of the texture or the flavoring/seasoning--it was very sweet and bland. The shrimps in this paella were good though! I wish there was just more flavor, acidity, depth, umami to the dish as a whole.Flan was dense and almost chewy? I haven't had this texture in flan before. The caramel was very bitter. Service was great though--servers were friendly and quick to change out silverware and plates in between the courses.

My husband and I came here for our anniversary dinner and were very disappointed. I do want to mention that the service was excellent, and our disappointment was purely with the food. I also want to mention that our menu varied significantly from what we saw online. Perhaps this was because we went on a weekday, but we were going here with the intention of ordering a handful of tapas & dishes, and there was hardly anything to choose from.With that said, here is what we ordered:G&T - 3/5 all I could taste was gin and tonic, and none of the additional flavours mentioned on the menu. I did not enjoy this but perhaps others will. Paloma - 3/5 This tasted alright. There was a pretty strong alcohol flavour, so nothing else was memorable Redondo Iglesias Serrano Charcuterie - 1/5 Generous serving of the Serrano, but the accompanying charcuterie items were laughable, and honestly kind of embarrassing. This looked like it was prepared by a 5 year old who picked up random items from an empty pantry. Pan con Tomate - 5/5 This was our favourite order of the evening. The serving size was generous, the bread was nicely toasted and the the tomato flavour was all there. Octopus Salad - 3/5 The flavours here were interesting but not really that exciting. There was a nice variety of texture and flavour but I wouldn't order this again. The few pieces of octopus in the dish were nicely cooked. Ceviche - 2/5 This tasted like sashimi placed in a bowl of lime juice. Now, sashimi is never a bad thing, but when you're expecting ceviche, it's disappointing. This was prepared with hardly any salt and there was very little depth of flavour here as well.Overall, the food did not do it for us and we likely won't be coming back, which is disappointing because we were really hoping to make this our reoccurring anniversary spot.

Tucked inside the swanky Shashi hotel behind Emerald Hour bar is this CA Spanish fusion restaurant. Presentation, service, and ambiance were great. Food was unique and had fun flavors and textures but everything was overly salty I drank a gallon of water with dinner. We started off with the Spanish Artichokes which had a delightful crunch. The baby octopus dish had calabrian fried lupini beans which were a hit. The duck empanada had an interesting cherry mole that was too sweet and picklely combined with too salty. The Catalan Fideua was tasty with perfectly cooked seafood but could use a crispier undercarriage. Plenty of free hotel or street parking.
