brio tuscan grille - richmond - stony point

wonderful!. stellar service, delicious cuisine, beautiful decor and terrific ambience. great for special occasions yet kid-friendly. one of our favorites!

not worth the money. was out with my wifeand daughter. pleasant scenery and sitting environment. how ever, service was a disappointment. it took a minute to get greated at the front door because there was no one at the hostess counter. we were seated with no silverware and didn't receive any until our food was brought to the table 45 minutes later. server had little experience, and seemed to rush away any chance he got. i had to call him back to place an order for a appetizer. we got our drinks, i had a sweet tea, the wife had a glass of pinot grigio. we finished our drink shortly before or food arrived and got no refills. also no water as well. i had to ask the server 3 times for a refill of my sweet tea, and the third time i asked for it in a to-go cup, because we had already paid or check. my daughter is 2 years old and we ordered he chicken tenders. the food arrived on a scolding hot plate that the server just place right in front of our daughter. which we immediately removed from her reach. my wife had the shrimp and lobster fettucini and i had the veal marsala classico. my dish i felt was very bland, nothing special but not bad, i think mine sat on a warmer for a little while. my wife said her dish was out standing, she enjoyed her dish very much. our appetizer was ok, we had the garlic roasted spinach artichoke dip. would have been a little better with eating utensils. overall it was not a great experience. we actually felt bad for the server. i don't think he knew what he was doing. if he did, he got the message when he saw his tip.

amazing dinner!. a friend took me to brio on friday to celebrate my birthday. i became concerned when parking was almost impossible to find, then i saw all the prom kids out as we walked up. fortunately, the hostess was able to immediately seat us at an outside table even though the weather was beautiful and they looked full. i had a wonderful lobster bisque and perfectly cooked salmon. the roasted red pepper bruschetta was delishious too. i can't remember the last time i had such a pleasant meal. the wait staff was friendly and knowledgable. i look forward to dinning there again.

nice chain restaurant, staff is always great @ special orders don't upset them 7 of 10 for food!!

the carpaccio dish is one of my favs ever. no other comes close & i've had it in italy. also their crusted lamb chops are very good. atmosphere is nice, relaxed but cheerful. today tried their spicy chicken panini. it was good & huge! fries were crispy. they have temporary scratch off coupons. i used my brio's passport & got $5 off. it's always nice to visit here. a real special brio branch.

nice enough!. went for sunday lunch as part of a group of 12, with a reservation. we were seated immediately, and served well. everyone was satisfied with their food--i had the bistecca salad and mezzo lasagna, both were nice. wife had a chicken dish from their gluten-free specialty menu, which she really enjoyed. quite a variety of dishes around the table, everyone seemed satisfied--menu was heavy on chicken, which i don't eat, but all seemed to like the different preparations. i wouldn't make the drive for just the two of us, but they handled the large group very well--server was very pleasant and very patient.

meh. the food is consistantly mediocre, however the offerings for their happy hour specials seem fresher. small offerings are available in the bar only, for $4, during posted happy hour times. all in all, brio is olive garden food with maggianos prices. the pasta, cocktails, salads, calamari and chicken dishes that i've ordered over the years have just been, "ok".

always delivers!. i know a lot of people have a thing against chain restaurants. brio tuscan grille is a chain that does such a good job at every level that you should give it a try, even if you are a chain snob ;) i've been there so many times and i don't think i have ever had a bad meal. i always start off with either the shrimp and eggplant appetizer or the fried calamari. both are very unique in the way they are cooked and so good. my favorite dish is the pasta fra diavolo with pine nuts added. great food and great service! the cleveland location at legacy village is also top notch.

best chain restaurant around. although, i normally do not write reviews on chain restaurants, i will have to give brio a nod. we have been there several times and the food is always exceptional. the staff is one of the most friendly and professional of any restaurant in richmond. the chicken fra diavolo and the crab and shrimp cakes are amazing. the lobster bisque was delicious and served hot the way bisque is supposed to be served. we look forward to our next visit.

excellent food, good service. the food is always great, except pastas. overall, nice experience.

excellent. i love going to brio. i lived 30 minutes away but willmake any excuse to go to that side of town just to eat at brio. their staff is friendly and the food is amaizing. love the fast paced environment of the restaurant. now without a reservation you are not going to like to wait for 92 minutes . so make a reservation. it is so worthy!!!

excellent chain italian. like many of the reviewers have stated below me the food is excellent! great place to take a date, the parents, business associates or your friends (if you're feeling upscale). prices are fair and portions are perfect. never had a bad meal there and the service is likewise comparable to the food you would expect from this upscale chain. tried the seafood and pasta and both exceeded my expectations so definitely give it a try!

also, they have a good wine list with decent prices and are happy to accommodate most requests if there is a specific bottle you would like to try by the glass.

excellent chain restaurant. we have eaten here for years and have consistently good food and service throughout. we especially recommend the chicken under the brick and rosemary bistecca. as richmond has very few good lunch spots, we highly recommend brio for a midday meal.

mmmmm. great place for lunch. make a reservation though. its always busy. mushroom tortelini in butter sauce is amazing. next is to go there for dinner.

favorite chains. one of my favorite chains, the lasagne is to die for. you must try the tuscan grilled pork chops, but you might want to split it, it's a lot of food. i've been there many times and have yet to have anthing other than a wonderful experience.
