| - I like Brioni's. The Happy Hour specials are a steal. The ambiance is usually very good. I like the old school formal wooden decor. The food is anywhere from good to outstanding depending on the item. In general, they follow the Italian tradition of choosing the best ingredients, instead of gimmicky crap.
I really like the mussels with the marachiara sauce. That (clear tomato with garlic) sauce is worth a trip. The calamari salad is also a wonderful and healthy choice. Split that with a friend at happy hour followed by a pasta dish and you're eating like a king for nothin'. I've had 4 or 5 pasta dishes that were all great. Today, I had the chicken sorrentino which was very good.
However, I did have one bad experience that I'd like to share for the purpose of entertaining Yelpers and perhaps fixing the issue at a restaurant I enjoy eating at.
If you're about to eat, you might want to stop reading.
- I ordered my food. It was a later in the lunch hour and pretty empty.
- I went to the bathroom.
- After going, I saw there was NO toilet paper. This is pretty bad for an upscale restaurant, but whatever. Call it an oversight.
- So, I called the restaurant from my cell phone and explained that I was in the bathroom in need of toilet paper.
- No one ever came. I gave up because I was in a hurry during the work day.
- After eating, I checked the bathroom again. Still, no toilet paper.
I know this is a weird situation and I've eaten here about six times with no similar issues. I was too bashful to bring it up again in person and there was no feedback link on their web site. So, I'm hoping someone will read this review at the restaurant and fix the issue so that it does not happen again.
