Brio has a terrific happy hour that my wife and I always recommend. All the apps are great tasting and reasonably priced. Hard to believe it's a chain. The bartenders (Brendon gets a gold star) are courteous and remember your name. Good selection of reasonably priced wines with a few great bargains on the list. Too many good appetizers to have a favorite but we often order the carpaccio and shrimp and eggplant (we like sauce on the side) and we usually get a Bistecca salad which is really good. We often eat dinner at the bar because the bar staff is so friendly. Our favorite regular menu items are the shrimp risotto and the double cut pork chop. Lastly the management here really cares that you have a good time. Any missteps are usually taken care of without us ever having said a word.
