| - Today's business lunch was at Brio, and overall the food was quality but the service left a little to be desired.
The food:
-Calamari: crispy fried but still tender inside; nothing mind blowing but solid quality. Came with a horseradish spicy dipping sauce and marinara sauce, which were both good
-Bruschetta Quattro: the bacon and ricotta bruschetta was incredible, the steak was also really good, and the other two were standard but good options. Great app to share!
-Side salad: I give this a separate mention because it was HUGE; filled me up before my entree with the apps and was very tasty with fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese
-Mediterranean shrimp: only 5 shrimp but they were flavorful, juicy and each were fairly large so no real complaints. The orzo was decent as were the vegetables it came with.
The service wasn't great by any means. Our waitress filled our drinks, was quick to take plates and was fairly nice, but they messed up multiple orders. One of my colleagues specifically asked for no gorgonzola on her salad but they put some on anyway. Then she didn't want to make us wait so she asked for the lobster bisque soup rather than having them cook steak for the salad over, but our waitress returned with minestrone instead. The food was also very, very slow to come out so I would avoid this location at lunch time if you're trying to get a semi-quick bite and get back to the office.
