As a rule I'm not a fan of chain-restaurants. It's kind of a thing with me.
Brio is one of the rare exceptions. I LOVE this place. Great atmosphere and service ...and of course, GREAT food! A+ anytime you go.
They have an outstanding happy hour deal for small plates and drinks from 3-7pm in the bar area.
Some of my favorite dishes there include the Beef Carpaccio, Pork Chops, and beef tips. The sides and flavors are always on point.
It is a bit pricey for such a cooky cutter experience (as apposed to a unique high end or boutique dining experience) but it has a comfortable consistency.
Whenever I'm hungry at Crocker Park or Legacy ..Brio is my jam. Lovely patio during nice weather too!
