   We were a party of 5. We ordered a Pollo Al Forno flatbread appetizer that was not well cooked. Three people ordered the Chicken Milanese, one ordered the Shrimp and Scallops risotto and one ordered the Sausage Rigatoni. When the food was brought 4 of the 5 entrees were brought, but the third Chicken Milanese took at least 5 minutes before it was served. The Chicken Milanese was overcooked to the point that the chicken was too well done and the red sauce was tasteless. The Shrimp and Scallops risotto was mostly overcooked Risotto with 4 overcooked shrimp and a few tiny scallops. The Sausage Rigatoni was very bland as well. The other issue was that we asked for additional red sauce and were told that it would be an additional charge, which was so shocking that we declined it. For the price they charge for entrees you would expect a much better dining experience.

   The service was excellent, just don’t order Steak. They are overpriced, dry and very salty. I recommend the restaurant for any other menu item except steaks.

   69.99 per couple for Valentine’s Day dinner was awesome. Would have never thought about going to Brio for a special day.

   Waitress was extremely busy but did an excellent job trying to keep the flow. Kudos to her efforts. Seafood linguine was perfectly flavored
