This was our 3rd time back always had a good experience. So my husband and I decided to go to Brio for our birthday celebration. First there airconditioning was down. Food was very salty. Also disappointed that Brio does absolutely nothing for a birthday celebration

Over priced for the value. Regret the choice and could have had more value from Olive Garden.

I made a reservation here for my wife’s birthday with our extended family. We get there, and the AC was out! It was very warm in the dining room and nobody notified us beforehand. On top of that, the menus provided were torn and dirty. For paper menus, they shouldn’t reuse them in such poor condition. I will say our server did her best, but it was not a very good experience all in all. The food was pretty good, but not worth the price, especially given the uncomfortably warm setting.
Brio Italian Grille - Houston - City CenterResponded on 26 June 2025
Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the discomfort during your wife's birthday celebration. We understand how disappointing it must have been to arrive and find the AC out, especially without prior notice. The condition of the menus is also unacceptable and not reflective of the standards we strive for. While we’re glad to hear your server did her best and the food was enjoyable, we regret that the overall experience didn’t meet expectations. Your comments have been shared with our team so we can take immediate steps to improve.

Our overall dining experience was good; the waiter was pleasant and attentive. My biggest complaint is regarding the establishment not being properly air conditioned. It seems the restaurant is aware of the issue, based on previous Open Table reviews and their response, however they don’t appear to have made any changes as of my visit.
Brio Italian Grille - Houston - City CenterResponded on 18 June 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you had a positive experience with your server, but we sincerely apologize for the ongoing issue with the air conditioning. We understand how uncomfortable that can be, especially when it hasn’t yet been resolved. Please know that we are aware of the problem and have scheduled maintenance to fix it. We appreciate your patience and hope to provide a more comfortable environment on your next visit.

A/C was broken so the restaurant was very warm. A large party was celebrating a birthday and they brought in a mariachi band. Way too loud.
Brio Italian Grille - Houston - City CenterResponded on 26 May 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the A/C was not working, making the restaurant uncomfortably warm, and that the noise level from the celebration disrupted your experience. We understand how important comfort and atmosphere are, and your comments will be shared with our team to help us better manage these situations in the future. We appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

This was not as good as my past experience at Brio, which is one of my favorite restaurants. Reservation of 4 for Easter dinner. Restaurant was somewhat empty, which was OK for us. Was looking forward to the Brio Old Fashioned coctail based on our last visit. Got the recipe last visit. Make them at home all the time. Ordered two for me & wife. Told waitress to make them good. One glass had a lesser volume than the other, and the drinks did not taste good. Ordered appetizers for the table. About half way through, the waitress is bringing the salads. About half way through the salads, the waitress is bringing the entree's. Crap, we have a table full of food. I had the Beef Medallions. Had them before here. These not as good. Comes with a side of asparagas, which was stringy, soft and tasted horrible. I told the waitress. No help. Spent $275 total on this meal. I was very disappointed. I rate them 3 stars because I know they can do better. This meal was a 2.
