Dined in for a late lunch. Calamari, lobster bisque, lasagna & blackened salmon sandwich... Fabulous food. Superb service & exquisite atmosphere! The prices were great too!

So I had a little opportunity to stop in at this restaurant in the BRIO City center area. Anyone who's been the Memorial City area knows that most of the restaurants here are top notch. This place had a delicious lobster bisque soup and serve bread with butter at the beginning of the meal the service was excellent the atmosphere was nice and quiet and relaxed. The place was very clean the food was also excellent I tried the Brio steak salad which was awesome had some candied pecans in it with some horseradish and some kind of creamy sauce and some steak cooked to perfection it was a great combination of flavors. The manager at the time Justin I also noticed came and visited every single table including mine and the waiters were very attentive to my needs I will definitely be back.

We went to Brio for a team lunch and it's always a hit. Our waiter always treats us well even when we all get water. Food comes in out hot and everyone is served at the same time. The portions are a little smaller than they used to be but still very filling and reasonably priced. The chicken Marsala with mashed potatoes and asparagus was excellently prepared and all of the pasta dishes were plentiful. Could've used a little more sauce on the chicken Milanese, but it tasted great. The bread and butter comes out nice and warm and real butter that spreads! The restaurant is open and spacious. We always enjoy eating at Brio!

My first time at this place was on 10/18 and my experience was delightful! Very nice a lot of room it wasn’t loud and rowdy so you can talk to your party when you’re having dinner. The restrooms were clean the waitress was very professional and the food was pretty damn good. We had the lamb chops and the chicken Parm both were extremely delicious now I will say the pasta they use for the chicken parm could’ve been cooked a little bit longer, but other than that, you can tell the ingredients they use are fresh. Wish they had a bigger craft beer selection but overall this was a nice place for a dinner date highly recommend.

The shrimp and eggplant dish was incredibly tasty—flavorful and well-prepared. The grilled salmon was cooked perfectly and had a great texture. I also tried the lobster bisque, which was rich and enjoyable, though not the absolute standout of the meal. Overall, everything was well-balanced and satisfying. Great food, pleasant ambiance, and attentive service. Definitely deserving of five stars!

It was a great place for a speaker’s reception for our conference on 12/7/2025. Choices were great and very happy with veggie options! Slightly pricy for our budget but everyone thoroughly enjoyed it! Melanie Coleman was warm and professional! The rest of the staff was funny and on top of their game!

Didn't get any photos of my food so I am not able to share those. The food was very good. I got the chicken marsala just like on the menu, so with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. The chicken was very good and so was the asparagus. It did seem like the garlic mashed potatoes didn't live up to the chicken or asparagus. The bread was good, was a little bit surprised that they did not have a dipping sauce but was not at all bothered by it being missing. Just seems like every Italian restaurant has dipping sauce with the bread. The service was amazing. We had a party of at least 40 people and the staff responded to every need and request quickly. Everyone in our party that I spoke with also had a great experience and enjoyed their food. Would for sure recommend. A little bit disappointed that we don't have one in Indiana as I for sure would go back.
