   The appetizers were amazing — the carpaccio and the truffle ricotta bread. But everything else — soup, pastas, dessert — were all under seasoned or over seasoned or overly sweet. The service, despite not being that busy, was slow slow slow. But, waitress was pleasant. Just looking like understaffed.

   Overall very good. I liked Brio more in past. This time I felt little disconnected and food was also not that great. Bread came after in the middle of eating the food we ordered.

   We dined at Brio in Irvine for the first time to celebrate my son’s 18th birthday, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, and our waitress provided exceptional service!

   Very good food and nice service. The salads are very good as well as the salmon dishes. Waiters are on the ball and caring. Little noisy so not great for romantic dates but great for friends night out!

   The service and atmosphere was extremely nice. I had a salmon salad - very small salad for the price. Not a lot of greens or feta cheese. Salmon was cooked well - would not order again.

   My friend and I dined here and we both had a Flatbread, and Shrimp and Scallop risotto. I had a Caramel Cheesecake and my friend had a Vanilla Bean Bruleé. They gave generous portions and we both agreed the food was very good. We both just had ice water as our drinks.. We dined during the OC Restaurant week, and made our selections from that special menu. Seating, and receiving our dinner was a bit slow this night. The server was friendly and attentive. Parking is adjacent to the restaurant. Total tab with tax and tip was under $86.

   I like the value at Brio. So many restaurants have increased their prices and it seems that Brio tries to keep it in line and offer good food for a fair price. Our server was great.
