| - I stopped in for lunch as I was in the area and had some time to kill. I was pleasantly surprised by the ambience and the food at the Brio. It is across the street from Kierland Commons in the Scottsdale Quarter, and kind of out of the way if you are at Kierland. But I was visiting the Apple Store, so it was a convenient stop.
It is very nice inside and spacious, although not very intimate. There are several small areas set off from the main room, but the over-all affect is like a large chain restaurant.
I was there right after the lunch rush hour, so the servers were not busy. There were two that were taking care of my table, and they were very pleasant, and very attentive. Their suggestions were helpful, especially as to the size of the servings and the daily specials. I had the bruschetta sampler and the Pasta alla Vodka and both were very good. The prices were reasonable, and that, along with the service and quality of food made it a very enjoyable lunch.
The servers did tell me about their bar menu and happy hour, which sounds very interesting. I will have to stop in next time I'm in the area - I'm always looking for good HH.
