foot steps away from olive garden, leagues above. as fashion place expands to become more of a super-center for shopping and food--the newest addition is brio tuscan grill. now, brio isn't the typical place to eat i find myself in. i support mom-and-pop eateries whenever i can, however in the bustle of busy fall shopping my family found themselves choosing between this new establishment, or the same run-of-the-mill "corporate" eatery. this was surprising. the young servers were upbeat, informed and our server gave us friendly and helpful service. i ordered a ravioli caprese dish that was full of delicious, round and succulent tomatoes. it was a little dry, however the portions and delicious cheeses made it worth it. all the other food in my party were also more than satisfactory. a salmon dish, a margherita burchetta and veal. the best was the desert, the "desert menu" itself was the server bringing an assorted tray of the available deserts. i ordered a delicious, creamy creme-bule cake. it was one of the best i have ever had. overall, the place has a very "corporate" feel--however, the food tastes home-like and the presentation of the food was visually delicious like the food. if you find yourself shopping at the fashion place mall, eat no where else.
