We’ve been coming here for years and was always eager to come back. The last 3 visits have been really bad. Out of food or bad service. We like it so much we keep trying. Again our server was great. The lobster bisque and wedge were fantastic but my $52 ribeye wasn’t worth $10. My wife had Salmon and it was overcooked as well along with my asparagus

My husband and I came here for a nice date night and decided to splurge on Brio’s. It all felt very rushed. Our waitress was not rude but also not friendly. It was just all very blah, just “do you know what you want to drink? It also took an extra long time to receive our food after our appetizer. The app came out at a reasonable amount of time but after that we waited at least another 30 minutes for our entree’s. My husband got the salmon entree and it was delicious. I got the Gorgonzola beef medallions and they were tasty but also tough. I really wanted to love this place but the experience was just kind of subpar.

                                                                  Is this helpful?
