   Great service! Loved the wedge salad & lobster bisque. Risotto was salty, margarita pizza was bland. Dirty bathrooms.

   Very nice brunch at Brio. Food was good and servings were just right. The only issue was the coffee machine was broken so no lattes or expresso martinis. We were disappointed.

   Great experience we had reservations and were seated promptly. Overall food was above average but not spectacular. Even though quite noisy still enjoyed dinner.

   This restaurant does not have enough staffers. The outdoor heaters are broken and do not work. The coffeemaker is broken. The food is just ok. I feel sorry for the people that work at Brio. The place was not crowded but the server was not able to keep up with clearing, ordering and delivering. Feels like this restaurant is on the verge of of closing.

   Ambience was great and the food tasted good. The service was pretty slow overall, but everyone was friendly.

   The appetizers were amazing — the carpaccio and the truffle ricotta bread. But everything else — soup, pastas, dessert — were all under seasoned or over seasoned or overly sweet. The service, despite not being that busy, was slow slow slow. But, waitress was pleasant. Just looking like understaffed.

   Overall very good. I liked Brio more in past. This time I felt little disconnected and food was also not that great. Bread came after in the middle of eating the food we ordered.

   We dined at Brio in Irvine for the first time to celebrate my son’s 18th birthday, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, and our waitress provided exceptional service!

   Very good food and nice service. The salads are very good as well as the salmon dishes. Waiters are on the ball and caring. Little noisy so not great for romantic dates but great for friends night out!

    The service and atmosphere was extremely nice. I had a salmon salad - very small salad for the price. Not a lot of greens or feta cheese. Salmon was cooked well - would not order again.
