| - Last Wednesday was the first day of live calls at our call center, so to celebrate the executive and support staff went to Brio Tuscan Grille for a celebratory dinner.
I've never been to Town Square before...driving around in here gave me a feeling of not being in Vegas...more akin to being down on Rodeo Drive in LA (I know it's nothing like it but it's the feeling I got).
Stepping into the building, I was impressed with the high ceilings and tall back wall that looked like it had been delivered from Rome itself. It was very loud in the restaurant because of the openness of the space (it's very spacious for seating and the bar area) but I was able to find my group very easily and interact without much trouble.
The wine, appetizers, salads, bread and soup were all excellent. The choice in breads was nicely done to not bore you with a simple roll. The entree's were classic italian faire, however I ordered a steak (not in the mood for lasagna or something pasta). It was cooked wonderfully; I wasn't the only one to order the steak...all enjoyed theirs, too.
Desserts were served in a type of large shot glass with flavors such as Creme Brulee and Tiramisu, among others. I loved scooping into the tiramisu and finding a different flavor every scoop.
It was a little pricey for my taste; since I was part of a group and the company was footing the bill, I was more than happy to attend. I would come here only if I wasn't paying. If I were tasked with taking care of the check, I could find quieter, more intimate places to get the most bang for my buck.
