    Absolutely delicious and spectacular service! I haven’t been in to Brio since I was a kid, and it was just as good as I remember. Our server, Claudio, was absolutely wonderful and so attentive and kind. He also made sure to assist my grandmother who has several food/health issues and she was thoroughly pleased. I look forward to returning and plan to do so much sooner than before!

    We heard amazing things so we were super excited to go listen to live music on a Friday night. Happy hour drinks. We're okay. It wasn't overcrowded so it was very easy to get a table. The restaurant does have a nice family element to it but definitely seems to cater to the older senior crowd. My major challenge was more with the menu. Their appetizers were decent but their entrees were extremely poor. I had the pork chop. I took two bites of it. It was extremely dry and overcooked. It tasted more like fried chicken than a pork chop, especially a thick cut. The potatoes that it came with were prepared more like dried raisins. They seem to have almost no moisture or texture to them. They were almost like lemon shaped chunks of potato chip. When the waitress came back and asked how everything was, I told her I didn't really enjoy the pork chop very much. Obviously since barely any of the food was touched she brought us out our receipt. Much to my surprise the pork chop was still on the bill. I understand the etiquette. If somebody takes something off the menu, you tip the waitress, whatever that meal cost. It wasn't her fault. The kitchen did a poor job. But when they don't take it off the receipt. It's definitely a huge red flag and quite truthfully, a bit of a slap in the face. To any way Chris is out there or to any patrons. If you do get a bad meal and you send it back that's okay. You should tip the waitress, whatever that meal cost on top of their normal tip. Any waitresses out there, If a customer doesn't enjoy their meal and it's obvious they didn't touch it, take it off the bill. It's the only way you're going to get a second chance and you get a bigger tip so I don't understand why something like that doesn't happen at many restaurants. It should have happened here. If it was only my pork chop that was bad then I probably wouldn't have written a review. My wife's salad wasn't good. Two out of three of our appetizers were very bland but the mozzarella sticks on marinara sauce were surprisingly really good. If you go I would highly recommend those and the Mai tais

    Came here on a Sunday night after driving by this place for a number of years. The outdoor seating area was nicer than it looked from the outside and the Halloween decor was a kitschy sort of cute. Our server was fantastic and took time to make recommendations and made sure our waters were always full. We started with the over baked baguette, which I have to say was a fantastic piece of bread. The rest of the food itself didn't knock my socks off but my chicken was good and the others in my party had a similar assessment of their plates. Not incredible but good. The dessert menu was intriguing but I'll have to come back to develop an opinion on that.

    Our server Cloudio was fantastic. The drinks were great. The food was delicious. I had lobster ravioli and my wife had Scottish wild salmon and we both loved our meals. And the tiramisu was so good, we devoured it despite already being full!
