Braise 116

I booked a reservation 3 weeks ago because the online menu intrigued us. Braise 116 had everything we look for when choosing a restaurant for a special occasion. My reservation was at 5:30. My wife and I arrived at 5:15, the restaurant opens at 5pm. The Door was locked. We get seated and the two people in the restaurant were the cook and hostess, arguing with each other b/c neither were ready for the nights service. The menu presented was completely different then what was online. We asked about the menu and she said it changes all the time. I get that, but update your website with the new menus. They did try to make it right by offering plates on the old menu that they had the ingredients for, only two tough. I will not visit again and I really wanted to like this place

Terribly slow service. Got our order wrong. We ordered 5 items. 3 came promptly but I think they forgot to put the order in for the other 2. The hostess was helping out because they were short staffed and she seemed to be overwhelmed and got the order wrong. After another 40 mins they still got one of 2 remaining items wrong. Not a good experience for a Saturday night.

Our family loves this place! What a hidden gem and I wish it wasn’t. Tapas is for sure one of my favorite foods because it’s nice to try a little bit of everything. Before, I had to travel all the way to Philly whenever I wanted tapas, now we are lucky enough to have a place in our backyards. We are always trying to spread the word of the amazing food, friendly staff, and cozy atmosphere. It’s BYOB so a good bottle of wine is a great compliment to food. The menu is amazing, and the chef is always offering delicious and interesting specials. We are a huge fan of the chicken and waffles and patatas bravas (worth checking the specials menu for!)

We won't be going again. Considering the town is chock full of wonderful options to dine out this was disappointing. #1 we were appalled at the beef tartare we received. At over $20 two tiny crostini with a BROWN pile of god knows what. We tried it but tasted nothing like tartar we have eaten at many restaurants & were so suspicious as we've never seen tartar in that brown / beef gone bad color. We sent it back to the kitchen. They replaced it with new tartar which had a fresher look but still did not taste good at all. They said that the chef used meat from a place she typically doesn't like and it's been sitting out for a while (!!!). I think freshness in tartar or any raw meat dish is so important so I am completely appalled that they would serve this to us as we could've gotten really sick. #2 other plates were just OK. Nothing to rave about and overpriced in my opinion for what they were. #3 The servers are not well trained at all. kept forgetting to bring us our wineglasses ..we had to ask repeatedly for more water. And at the end the chef stopped by to ask us about our experience (nice intent) but literally in the middle of my friends telling a story he interrupts to ask how everything was. Completely awkward and out of place. Most places someone would wait 30 seconds to let the person finish the sentence before interrupting the party. I rarely write reviews but I felt especially the raw beef situation was completely unacceptable and put our health at risk. We will not be eating there again. Haddonfield is full of wonderful eating spots, this is not one of them ...
