   We ordered calamari as an appetizer. It was cooked to the texture of an old rubber band. My main dish, which was salmon, was raw in the middle and my husband’s risotto had about the whole shaker of garlic salt on it. The regular cook must have had the day off because this cook was certainly a novice. What was good was the caramel cheesecake. For an Italian restaurant I expect Italian rustic bread, not sourdough. I usually have good experiences at Brios, this was not one of them

   We had a great experience. Dara took care of us and she was hands down the best server I have had in a long time. We enjoyed Thanksgiving at Brio!

   Probably our last trip to Brio. Food was not good, service was slow but they were crazy busy with HUGE groups, expensive for what we got. The bread basket has really good downhill. You now have to pay for the thin crunchy bread and it’s not good at all. Started off with Bruschetta, meat was literally raw. Lobster bisque fishy tasting. I got shrimp and scallop risotto. The scallops were the size of garbanzo beans, more like scallop seeds than actual scallops. Shrimp were small and not fully cooked. But at least the dish was $30! My husband usually loves the pasta alla vodka. It was just meh this time. Sad, because we used to love Brio.

   This place went downhill! We used to go to Brio years ago and it had better service and better food. Last night everything was a disaster ! The food was mediocre.. a lot of us mentioned how bland and tasteless their food was. We had a variety of everything, steaks, salmon, salads, soups, pastas.. we ordered almost everything on the menu as we were a group of 12! Everything tasted blah! The prices were expensive for the quality and quantity we got! And the service was super slow even though the restaurant was 60% empty!!!! We waited for an hour for our food to come out!! Unacceptable in this age and time where every second there is a restaurant opening up somewhere in Houston and the competition is fierce! And the to go kids meal I asked for was missed and took them 30 mins to come out… we won’t visit again! And I highly doubt they will be able to stay in business long…
