However after 2 hours of being sat at our table we still hadn’t received our meals. We had to demand for the manager to come to the table at that time. You would think if he knew our food hadn’t already been sent to our table at a timely manner he would’ve come by to speak before customers were demanding. Very disappointed in how our Christmas dinner was at Brio and will not be a returning customer anymore.. I’ve dined there numerous times but the lack of acknowledgement and communication from the staff and manager about what really caused our food to be out so late was frustrating and definitely unprofessional.
