Healdsburg’s new Bravas Bar de Tapas is the latest project from prominent Sonoma County restaurateurs Mark and Terry Stark, who also opened Willi’s Wine Bar, Monti’s, and Stark’s Steak & Seafood in Santa Rosa, and Willi’s Seafood Bar in Healdsburg. The new Spanish-inspired restaurant is in the former Ravenous space, and Mr. Bauer says he was “pleasantly surprised” by the food, which he says “has a point of view.” He likes the bacon-like crispy pig ears served with anchovy vinaigrette; and the “firm, yet tender” octopus that comes as a large grilled tentacle. He also loves the chicken croquettes and the marinated fire pit vegetables, which he calls “spectacular.” All told: two and a half stars. [Chron]
