   Food was cold and server was terrible. 15 minutes at the table before he got there asked for extra salad dressing never showed up and no balsamic glaze on it at all. Both pasta dishes served cold

   Food good. Waitress inattentive. Went 38 minutes with no water. The busboy was great. We had asked for no asparagus because of food allergy and to get spinach instead. Plate came with asparagus. No waitress in sight. Busboy took care of the issue. Manager had to bring check and water pitcher as the waitress was MIA for most of the meal.

   This batch of red sauce was metallic. It was an off night, as the meal I had in January was great. Our server was excellent.

   The service was slow and the noise level extremely high. I told the restaurant we were there to celebrate my husbands 65 birthday and no recognition was offered.

   Although our dinners and salads were very good Caesar, wedge, ravioli di Bello with shrimp and pasta Brio. the atmosphere for dinner was extremely disappointing. It definitely is not a place for an enjoyable dinner. The noise was over the top, a young child was crawling on the floor, dress for dinner non existent more like a sports bar with hats on backwards and muscle shirts. Beach wear. It’s really too bad since the decor tends to be more upscale. Service by Miquel was very good as he paced out our meal to our liking. Outdoor dining would probably be a lot quieter, but it was a cool evening.

   Excellent time at Brio. The food was excellent from apps to dessert. Our server Oscar was excellent, very personable. Can’t wait to go back. So many options on their menu I want to try.

   Brio has a nice environment for formal eating. The dishes are well prepared, and priced well.

   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.
