You know, there are some experiences with the staff at restaurants and the overall atmosphere that overwhelm the the food itself. For me, Brio was one of those. The first time I stopped by with my family, their tables were fully booked. However, it wasn’t a simple, courteous, “I’m sorry, we’ve booked all our tables.” The response my professionally dressed, adult family got was borderline sneering. Terrible first impression!

We should have learned then. After making reservations several days in advance, we found the food and the atmosphere average and unremarkable. Our dinners seemed overpriced for their quality. And seriously, nobody can be that “sophisticated” when they have a kid’s menu.
