BRAVO! Italian Restaurant and Bar
Founded 28 years ago by high school friends and business partners Dan Blumenthal and Jeff Good, BRAVO! is Italian cooking, redefined. The hearty fare here goes well beyond noodles and sauce. Seasoned chefs prepare amazing and mouthwatering steaks, chops and seafood on this menu, along with signature wood-fired oven pizzas, salads and pasta dishes. Daily chef specials are offered, as well as weekend brunch. Complimentary bread is baked daily by BRAVO’s restaurant sister, Broad Street Baking Company. bravobuzz.com

Aplos
This charmer in the courtyard at Highland Village brings a Mediterranean slant to the spot. Here, Chef Alex Eaton distills quality ingredients, world travels and nuanced flavors to their essence for simplicity that sings. Counter service, the fresh and casual feel, a limited but enticing bar and a menu that intrigues rather than overwhelms all work in harmony.
Lebanese, Greek and Italian cuisines flavor the menu. Hummus, stuffed grape leaves, wraps, Greek salad, and a half dozen pizza selections cruise past those influences with a tasty nod and a friendly wave. Happy Hour is seven days a week from 3-6 pm with half-priced pizzas and $2 Stella on draft. eataplos.com
