    My sisters and I come to Brazen every time we are in Dubuque. The food is phenomenal and the service is outstanding. We have never been disappointed by anything Chef Kevin makes. We highly recommend all the corn specials on their summer menu!

    Absolutely loved the espresso steak, caprese salad and crème brûlée. The standout for us was the freshly baked bread with cheese on top, dipped in their exquisite flavored olive oil. Our server, Avery, was a true delight and made our experience even more enjoyable. We will recommend to our friends who visit Galena in the future.
