My fiancé and I were here for the first time today and the food was absolutely delicious! Our server was friendly and very... attentive. My only complaint is that one of our plates was dirty when we were seated and the napkins had stains on them from aprevious guest… we would love to come back but that would be the only thing stopping us Read more
We wont be back any time soon. While dining with friends today, a family entered with a dog...not a service dog or provable... emotional support dog , and had it sit at not under the table! No less than 3x we asked what appeared to be a hostess for themanager who said he was in the bathroom ...finally we stopped the sous chef who told us there is no manager! I am a dog loverand owner of 2 dogs but I would never presume to bring one of my dogs without benefit of an officially recognized reason. Noneof the staff seemed to care and our server appeared as if on drugs was totally inattentive...the one star is for the food whichwas good. Read more
Glad this place is back open. Good meal and atmosphere. Waitor was very pleasant and professional. They have a nice outdoor... seating area and offer a happy hour in the bar area if you are looking for a nice night out. Update: Same good experience. Staffing issues like everywhere only at 2/3 capacity during peak times issuing waits. Super pricey for what you are getting butthe food is decent quality and presented well. Read more
Went in for a dinner for 2 with my hubby. Our server was Robert but other servers carried out needs as well. Everyone was... amazing. Service was very attentive and kind. The food hands down DELICIOUS. If you’re ever looking for an appetizer, thebuchetta sampler had us rolling over it was good. Definitely coming back for more. Read more
Our last trip to another Brio was great, but this one the food quality was not good. The chicken milinase was not pounded thin... at all and was very chewy. I ate 1/4 of it. Rather than salad, there was pasta drenched in oil & butter. Our waiter was busychatting with another staff member & we waited 20 minutes before asking someone else to have him come to our table once wefinished. Read more
Went there for the first time today , nice Ambiance at the first look .. I think they have too many tables I got bumped on my... chair by servers at least 10 times .. noise level at this place is like a sports bar or may be county fair:) We ordered theirrecommended Pinot Grigio paid 31$ for a very cheap wine. Ordered the strawberry chicken salad which was good and the 2 stars arefor that. The bread they serve complimentary is sourdough bread which has a bitter after taste . We ordered salmon (veggies wereunder cooked, salmon was slightly over cooked and asparagus was almost raw) Margarita flatbread was kinda.Cold but will give 1.5starts to that . Also the lobster shrimp pasta was very average with a undercooked Pasta (fettuccine) I have eaten way betterItalian in this neighborhood. My son ordered shirley temple and that was Bad.. I think these guys reopened recently but with theItalian culinary competition they have in Manalapan freehold area they are way down the order .. which don’t recommend thisplace Read more
The lasagna was awful. Think about that. Have you ever had a bad lasagna? Neither had I until a few days ago. It was dry. ... Not dry like when the edges get crisp in a good way... But dry like they didn't have enough pasta sauce in/on it. There wereonly 2 layers of filling and there was so much ricotta! I like ricotta but you need balance with the sauce. I didn't take homemy leftovers. That's unheard of. I'm giving it two stars because my wife's dish was better than mine but I will not bereturning. Read more
