Customer Reviews

I went here for a group dinner. I recommend making reservations, as the earliest we could get a table on a Saturday night on short notice was 8:30 p.m. Having said that, the wait was totally worth it. The food here was exquisite. We started with oysters which were served with house made sauces. One thing I really appreciated about this restaurant was that we could order half portions of the main courses. This allowed us to enjoy different things without getting too full. The server let us know about the daily specials, which all sounded superb. I opted for a half portion of the daily fish special. It was divine.
We had an incredible meal with exceptional service! Our Server recognized we were four old friends catching up and enjoying each others company. She gave us space, was very knowledgable about the food and drink. She joked with us and made us feel like we were at family dinner. The supporting cast were great too! I highly recommend this restaurant and will frequent it for years to come. Well Done Team at Cafe Brio!
It was our first visit to Cafe Brio, and we were blown away. We had unexpectedly decided to eat there for date night. We called and reserved a table. They informed us that there were only seatings at the bar, which didn't bother us at all. When we arrived, the kind host greeted us and led us to our seats. The bartender was very helpful, and suggested some meals and beverages to us. He was pleasant to work with, and gave outstanding service. In fact, all of the hosts were fantastic. The service is excellent.
