BRIO Tuscan Grille

Good food. Great atmosphere. Excellent waitstaff. Brio recently changed their menu to be more Italian focused. It worked.

Very welcoming atmosphere. Busy on weekends as it is located inside of Fair Oaks mall. Parking is just outside of the restaurant. I was excited about pasta menu options. My family enjoyed their meals Bolognese and Chicken Tenders. My Salmon and Asparagus were cooked just right. Staff was attentive. Food arrived quickly even for it being busy as it was.

The food was average. The menu is slightly misleading. You need to be a noodle connesuier to be able to distinguish the multiple types of Spaghetti. Lamb chops and steak are average. Price is above average. Nice family setting, classy Italian-ifluenced decor.

I like this place. I did my daughter's birthday party here as well. They have a small and cozy private area for parties like that. I think their portions are large too.

Update: service is still good but they got rid of many dishes I used to get.

My friends and I took our daughters out to dinner before a Father-daughter dance. Server was great! Food was great! We had a good time. Will come back.
