I’ve been going to the brio now for some 15 years. I love it.

She did explain that the kitchen was slow as did the manager, but this always seems to be the case - never enough staff in one area or another. Food was moderate when it finally arrived. Likely the last time we dine at Brio for a while.

The young man seated us, and the waitress came quickly to take our drink orders. Although she got a couple of minor things wrongs, it did not take away from our experience. I had the lasagna, and my husband had the salmon. They were both delicious. I do not recommend the mango ice tea though. I did not like it. Great experience.
