   I've never been disappointed with my experiences at Brio. I was there two weeks ago for my office luncheon, and 17 meals came out perfectly. Was there again last night for my husband's 65th birthday dinner and all eight of our meals came out perfect and exactly as ordered. It's a favorite go-to place!

   We enjoyed dining at Brio. Fanny, our server, was excellent. The chicken Marsala was enjoyed by my wife and I liked the Scallop & Shrimp Risotto. Although the restaurant was busy, it wasn't too noisy. The wine selection was very good as well.

   The server was amazing! However, we had a reservation for a birthday celebration, and it wasn't even acknowledged. Also wish the hostess didn't seat us at the worst table in the restaurant, in the back by the soda machines and stacked up chairs, when many better tables were available. Also wish they would go back to the old bread that they used to serve. The new ciabatta is too chewy.

   Seated at our table for 30 minutes without ANYONE asking to take order or even bring water..table next to us seated 15 minutes after us and waited on…. We were unable to get waiter attention. When we got up and walked out without any staff showing any interest we told the young lady (while she was texting ) why we left and she just replied “okay” … will never go there again

   The staff and servers were all very nice and accommodating. Three of our 4 meals were under the heat lamp waiting to be served with the 4th meal. My risotto dish suffered due to the time spent there. I sat in view of the kitchen, which was not a good idea. It seemed like the kitchen was having problems getting meals for a complete order finished at the same time, which resulted in a pile up of dishes under the heat lamp and the table below it.

   In general, was a fair experience. Made reservations months in advance, confirmed days prior. Upon arrival, was advised they were running 20 minutes later than reservations. Party of five, we specifically requested NOT to be crunched into a table for four and was told that would not be a problem. When seated, we were directed to a four-top. We again requested roomier table which they accommodated quickly. However, table had no set-ups (silverware), napkins, S&P, etc. (had to ask server for these after being served bread/butter and salads). Bread was not refilled. Side Caesar salad was lackluster, too light on the dressing. Chicken Caesar entree salad was meager, especially for the $$. Chicken Limone was fair (too few capers), Gorgonzola campanelle flavor was good but pasta was underdone (firmer than al dente); poor balance of ingredients, being heavy on the dried tomatoes and lacking asparagus (had perhaps a single asparagus spear), adequate protein. Lasagna was flavorful. Premier margarita was delicious and worth the $15. Overall, staff was polite and accommodating, but we were underwhelmed with the food, as we felt the quality was not as good as several previous visits.

    I felt I was in Italy. I would not know what to say for improvements. The wait staff was very helpful. The food was above excellent. Looking forward for another visit.
