History
Brio was founded in Columbus, Ohio by businesspeople who wanted to provide a different dining experience among Ohio customers. Its parent company is Bravo Brio Restaurant Group which is also based in Ohio.
The restaurant now has several locations worldwide and was once recognized by the Restaurant Business Magazine as one of the Top 500 Restaurant Chains in the United States.
Review
The architectural design and the interiors of Brio are definitely not an ordinary one. Elegantly designed, this restaurant will surely give you an exquisite dining experience. While this is a recommended place for customers of all ages, I particularly recommend this to those going out on dates.
The restaurant is open from breakfast till dinner. They can accommodate walk-in customers but I suggest that you make a reservation one day ahead as the place is usually full.
Many of the foods on their menu are mouth-watering but my favorites are all under the Chef’s Specialties Menu. These include Lamb Chops, Gorgonzola Crusted Beef Medallions, Chicken Limone, and Chicken Milanese.
As mentioned, this place is in demand and is usually full so it is best to call to make reservations.
