bachanon Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 overrated. high end chain with mediocre food. locations are placed where the demographics are great and people with limited palettes flock. how many "special occasions" have i had to suffer through at brio tuscan grille. olive garden would be as satisfying, cheaper, and a quicker get away. even more insulting than the food and two hour (excruciating) dining experiences are the faux chic interiors and pretentious youngsters acting as if it's a five star restaurant. on every occasion (too many to count).....inconsistent service, cold food and long waits for refills and corrected orders. i do not understand why so many people like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I agree with Bachanon. My sister that lives out near CityCentre brought me there two weeks ago. Food ranged from gross to mediocre. Price points are high. Service was lousy. The scene was what it seemed to be about and I didn't much care for that one either. Not sure how it's going to fare in Upper Kirby. There are so many more options in that area whereas the Memorial crowd's options are more limited unless they want to make the hike inside the Loop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
