Another great meal at Brio! Our favorite server, Miguel, greeted us when we walked in and immediately seated us in a booth. While we looked over the menu Miguel brought freshly baked bread and butter to the table and took our drink order. When he returned with our drinks we ordered our meals, starting with chopped salads for both of us, spaghetti pomodoro for my wife, and chicken and spinach Alfredo for me. Even though there was a large party in the room next to us our food came out at the perfect pace. Our salads were fresh, crisp and very tasty. The pastas were both delicious and prepared perfectly with fresh and tasty sauces. Our plates were clean and we were completely sated. We always have a great meal whenever we come here, and this visit was no exception.

Thank you for the glowing review! We're thrilled to hear Miguel made your visit special from the moment you arrived and that every part of your meal—from the fresh salads to the perfectly prepared pastas—was thoroughly enjoyed. It’s always a pleasure to welcome back loyal guests like you, and we’re so glad this visit continued the tradition of great experiences at Brio. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Very disappointing experience. We went for Mother's Day and the place was noisy and kaotic. We did not have utensils and had to ask 3 different staff members before receiving. It took at least 10 mins before they realized they were out of what we ordered. They forgot to include the chicken in my pasta order and my husband's pork chops were not fully cooked. Maybe it was just a busy day but I will not be returning.

It was Mother’s Day so it was crowded. We sat along with other diners for a very long time. For us, we waited for water and a full hour while they baked bread. Our food came over an hour after ordering. The waitress forgot an item and I didn’t realize she brought the dinner plate rather than the side that I thought I had ordered, which was as double the price. It was so loud that we couldn’t talk. The food was good but the experience left us all grumpy. Oh and they could only divide the check 3 ways which led to chaos, too. I would never go back for a holiday meal. They can’t handle the crowds!

A few of our orders were incorrect and the server not the waitress argued with us. It took almost 2 hours for the food and it was overcooked on 4 meals and only 1 returned the meal and again took another 45 minutes and he couldn’t even eat it after well over 2 hours to even get the courses. Half of the food wasn’t edible but after the one was sent back and it took way too long we left. The chef came out but not the manager and still took forever. The one meal was given for free but no professionalism. This place has gone way down hill and we will never return. Had a 2 year old where we asked for her food as soon as it was done but they brought it with the rest of us. Also our food sat under the heat lamps for over 30 minutes; we were right by there to see it. Only got 1 drink because I couldn’t find anyone.
