	+ ------ + ''2009-07-19 20:22:11'' [[nbsp]] Went on Sunday for an early dinner. Service was prompt and while the food was for the most part good a little variation on the menu with some lighter options would be nice. Wife had a cup of soup and a pizza salad and I opted for the Paella which was loaded with seafood. The mussels were very strong which leads me to believe they may have been a little old. Still a nice place, but seems to be losing some of it's edge. --["Users/almorinelli"]

- ''2006-05-20 15:07:02'' [[nbsp]] I went here for dinner last night and was disappointed. The atmosphere and service were good, although the live music was a bit too loud, and the food was surprisingly bad. I got fried calamari for an appetizer, and it was extremely salty. My dinner was the fusili bolognese--the pasta had an odd texture, sort of like it was frozen and reheated, and the sauce didn't taste very good. One of the people I went with said the penne pollo (in a vodka cream sauce) was the best in Rochester, though. I guess the place is worth checking out--maybe it was just an off night. --["RachelBlumenthal"] - ------ - ''2007-04-21 21:25:00'' [[nbsp]] Eating here during the week is a much better experience than on the weekends because it is less crowded and quieter. The food is good, not fantastic and the service is above average. I think it is over priced compared to other places that serve similar food. During the weekends, when they have live music it is too loud. Last night when the singer took a break many in the crowd clapped. Everyone at my table clapped because we were all happy that we would be able to hear each other for at least 15 minutes. The bar in the middle of the main dinning room also adds to the noise especially when people are sitting around cheering for whatever sporting event is on the flat screen TV. Is this place a bistro or a sports bar? After the dinner crowd thins out it looks like it turns into a bar for the wealthy twenty something crowd. --["ScottHendler"] - ------ - ''2007-09-12 14:16:48'' [[nbsp]] I've been here a few times and it's always a decent experience. I like the bread and oil. As it comes with crumbled cheese and red pepper flakes. The entrees are always just ok, so I don't know why I keep going here. Maybe it's cause the cocktails are so good. The servers are always nice. But make sure to enunciate when you order. I got a steak special and asked for it "medium rare" and got it "medium well." It was still good - so I was ok with it. --["MarcVera"] - ------ - ''2007-09-15 05:38:27'' [[nbsp]] My Fiancee (K.) and I ate at Brio tonight, 9/14/07. We started with the bread, olive oil, cheese and pepper flakes; Feta Cheese Bruchetta as appetizer, we both enjoyed it. Drinks, I ordered a coke and K. ordered a Kettel One Vodka and Tonic, although she was served Grey Goose. For main course, I ordered Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken. This was clearly a frozen, reheated meal. Everything in this dish had a semi-cold texture and bite, even the pasta. I was disappointed. K. ordered the special, Swordfish Salad, which consisted of a fillet of Swordfish, browned with spicy seasoning, served over a large plate of greens. K. thought it was incredibly delicious, light but filling. The live music was way too loud, especially for piano bar ballads. --["DaRoc"] - ------ - ''2007-11-14 13:21:08'' [[nbsp]] Been to Brio twice in the past 2 months and had very good food both times. The first was a weekend night and the place was full. The second was a weeknight and the place was 90% empty. Both times the service was a little slow, but the staff were all very pleasant. The canned music was too fast a tempo for eating and much too loud. The live music was quite nice, just way too loud as well. I asked them to turn down the volume of the canned music or change it to something softer. They were able to turn it down but said they had no control over the style of music being piped in. --["ZedOmega"]	+ '''ADMIN NOTE: Comments from 2006/2007 have been archived in ["Brio/Comments"]'''

	+ ------ + ''2009-06-23 13:51:54'' [[nbsp]] An incredible disappointment. Last night I was with a group that was seated outside among 3 other tables of guests. Seeing as Brio was having a very slow night there was no reason for the service to be slow. We weren't given bread until 20 minutes of sitting and waiting. The server made numerous excuses, no of which made sense of the fact that when business is that slow there should be virtually no wait time. As a way to make up for this, we were told our 3 drinks would be comped--which we later learned only 1 was. We ordered a pizza, which didn't remotely fit the description on the menu. This dish tasted like luke warm cardboard. In addition, a caprese salad we shared was served with flavorless tomatoes that seemed to be frozen in the middle. For what a great space and location this restaurant offers, I'm shocked how awful the entire experience was. I can't write enough about this terrible dining endeavor so I'll end with the fact that it will never be visted again by myself or guests I'm with, esp with so many better options to choose from! --["Users/Leisel"]

We asked about the chef and found out that he is being named Head Chef of BOTH of Sami's restaurants, Pomodoro and Brio (in Pitsford). Our waiter told us that he has been the chef of Pomodoro for 4 years now, but has been cooking for 7. We will certainly be visiting Chef Yaeger at Brio next! --["Users/Magdelan"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-01-25 09:34:21'' [[nbsp]] My husband, friends, and I went to dinner here on Friday evening. The first thing we noticed upon being seated was the headache-inducing volume of the live music. Granted, the musician was very talented, but everyone around us was screaming just to be heard and our ears were all aching by the end of the visit. A dozen girls were in the women's restroom with their drinks in hand just to get out of the main dining area. The bruschetta appetizer was good, but the vegetable paella was undercooked, and the vegetables were barely cooked past raw. I ordered the rack of lamb, the boys ordered a pasta dish, and my female companion ordered a monstrous salad. The spice on the rack of lamb was so incredibly salty and spicy, it completely overwhelmed the delicate sweetness of the lamb. My tongue was on fire after one bite. The rice pilaf that accompanied it was awful, I've made better instant rice out of a box. Our waiter did not come by once to ask us how our meal was, so we rate the service very poor. We do not recommend this place for the overpriced, heavily salted entrees, but the appetizers may be enough for most accompanied by drinks if you can tolerate the volume. --["Users/mtaanari"]

	+ ------ + ''2008-09-28 09:56:11'' [[nbsp]] This is a lovely restaurant and the service was outstanding. The food was good but not exceptional for the prices. Restaurants have a tough time in this economy so I can understand problems with pricing. I felt that the Marguerita Pizza was no where close to what it should have been which is light, lots of tomato, discs of melted cheese and sprinkled with basil. It was a solid mass of cheese which made it very boring not to mention unhealthy. The kitchen staff or cooks need some educating. The piano music was nice but too loud. I would ask for a table away from the piano next time. I have to admit I was confused by the name and did a search and came up with the chain Brio, thinking it was the same, but no location is listed for Rochester which led me to further searching. People are confused by this but it is an independently owned restaurant, one of three others owned in Rochester by the same person (if you can believe the web). I would try it again. --["Users/KayeReagan"]

- ''2006-05-20 15:07:02'' [[nbsp]] I went here for dinner last night and was disappointed. The atmosphere and service were good, although the live music was a bit too loud, and the food was surprisingly bad. I got fried calamari for an appetizer, and it was extremely salty. My dinner was the fusili bolognese--the pasta had an odd texture, sort of like it was frozen and reheated, and the sauce didn't taste very good. One of the people I went with said the penne pollo (in a vodka cream sauce) was the best in Rochester, though. I guess the place is worth checking out--maybe it was just an off night. --["RachelBlumenthal"]	+ ''2006-05-20 15:07:02'' [[nbsp]] I went here for and was disappointed.

	+ ------ + ''2007-11-14 13:21:08'' [[nbsp]] Been to Brio twice in the past 2 months and had very good food both times. The first was a weekend night and the place was full. The second was a weeknight and the place was 90% empty. Both times the service was a little slow, but the staff were all very pleasant. The canned music was too fast a tempo for eating and much too loud. The live music was quite nice, just way too loud as well. I asked them to turn down the volume of the canned music or change it to something softer. They were able to turn it down but said they had no control over the style of music being piped in. --["ZedOmega"]

	+ ------ + ''2007-09-15 05:38:27'' [[nbsp]] My Fiancee (K.) and I ate at Brio tonight, 9/14/07. We started with the bread, olive oil, cheese and pepper flakes; Feta Cheese Bruchetta as appetizer, we both enjoyed it. Drinks, I ordered a coke and K. ordered a Kettel One Vodka and Tonic, although she was served Grey Goose. For main course, I ordered Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken. This was clearly a frozen, reheated meal. Everything in this dish had a semi-cold texture and bite, even the pasta. I was disappointed. K. ordered the special, Swordfish Salad, which consisted of a fillet of Swordfish, browned with spicy seasoning, served over a large plate of greens. K. thought it was incredibly delicious, light but filling. The live music was way too loud, especially for piano bar ballads. --["DaRoc"]

The entrees are always just ok, so I don't know why I keep going here. Maybe it's cause the cocktails are so good. The servers are always nice. But make sure to enunciate when you order. I got a steak special and asked for it "medium rare" and got it "medium well." It was still good - so I was ok with it. --["MarcVera"]

	+ ------ + ''2007-04-21 21:25:00'' [[nbsp]] Eating here during the week is a much better experience than on the weekends because it is less crowded and quieter. The food is good, not fantastic and the service is above average. I think it is over priced compared to other places that serve similar food. During the weekends, when they have live music it is too loud. Last night when the singer took a break many in the crowd clapped. Everyone at my table clapped because we were all happy that we would be able to hear each other for at least 15 minutes. The bar in the middle of the main dinning room also adds to the noise especially when people are sitting around cheering for whatever sporting event is on the flat screen TV. Is this place a bistro or a sports bar? After the dinner crowd thins out it looks like it turns into a bar for the wealthy twenty something crowd. --["ScottHendler"]
