    Gwen was a wonderful server. Attentive and kept our water glasses filled. The manager came over and talked to us, he was so nice. Food and ambience were spot on. The only negative is the hostess at the front. We are used to Janene’s energy and smiling face to greet us when we visit. The girl on Friday 11/22 did not smile and seemed somewhat unpleasant. I tried to talk to her cause Janene was off on vacation, but she was very short and not very friendly. Not our typical greeting at BLT.

    We had been to Brutto many times in the past. But, we stopped going when they did their limited menu during the busy season. As this is not the busy season they offered their full menu which has a lot of choices. From the food to the service everything was outstanding, better than we remember. We will certainly return, only when the full menu is offered- we did miss the brutto salad and canned trio though.
