    We went to Brio as a quick family dinner, and got in right when our reservation time happened. We started with the spinach-artichoke dip, which came with flatbreads that worked well. It was delicious. Two of us got the sausage carbonara, one got salmon, and one got the vodka pasta. The cocktail menu looked appealing, but we decided to stick to water only. All of the mains were well-prepared and good, with more than ample portions (only the salmon was finished, the rest had leftovers go home). Service was very attentive at first, then trailed off a bit (tho in their defense they seemed very busy), hence the "good" rating. We've gone before and would/will go again.

    Food was excellent as always! Some construction going on so seemed to be more jammed up then normal. We made a reservation and got there a few minutes early. Younger ladies at host stand had us standing for 10mins for them to figure something out, more people walked in the door, and then asked us to step aside. Waited a few more mins and then got our table. Got our orders in 12mins, ate and got amazing gelato and left all before an hour! Only disappointment was that I put birthday on the reservation and didn’t want to bring it up as it was for surprise and unfortunately nobody celebrated.

    I put in a special request to have a drink ready for my girlfriend at the table. Birthday celebration so wanted to make it a little more special. Didn’t even get the drink at all. Don’t ask for special requests if they aren’t going to do them.
