   We arrived early and we understood that our table wasn’t ready so we went to the bar. The service was very slow. I had called and told them that we were celebrating a birthday. I gave the person’s name. However there was no recognition whatsoever of the birthday. Not a happy birthday not a dessert nothing. We had birthday cards on the table and it’s still meant nothing However, we had a fabulous server. Her name is Sarah.

   The food was great. We had a reservation and was seated promptly. We were disappointed in the cocktails. Very very light poor with the alcohol.

   We normally really enjoy our meal here, but all four of us commented as we left that the food was not as good. My lettuce was wilted in my salad, my husband said his chicken did not have as much flavor as usual, my pasta was just not as good as usual, just tasted different than normal, not the same flavors and I get it almost every time. Service was great.

   Food is only mediocre; service is slow; and cost is excessive. We were also unable to use a coupon mailed to my wife for her birthday. This establishment is not worth your time or money.

   Food was good. Service was poor. Waited 15 minutes before a server came to table and throughout meal was hardly seen.

   Great experience at Brio. Very busy as it was Valentine’s Day. Staff was great, food was good, just an overall nice evening.

   We had a reservation and were seated promptly. Our server, Oscar, was attentive, friendly, and funny. The wedge salad is still one of my favorites. My husband really enjoyed the salmon and sweet potatoes and the pasta ala vodka did not disappoint. I recommend sitting on the patio in February-April.
