Brio Tuscan Grille

Good food. Have been here couple of times. There’s a wait sometimes during weekends. This place is quite fancy, and its on the pricier side.

Well this is a late review. Went there for New years, my friend had a reservation but they sit us at the door. The place doesn’t have a reverting hall, so we felt like being outside. Food was cold on a second we were cold all the time. Not a way to end a year.
Food taste was good and table service was very good.

We went there last night for dinner. There was six of us and we had reservations for 6:15. We were on time and they were ready for us. Service was excellent, the food was hot and fresh, the wait person was more than attentive. We had a great dinner and I would highly recommend this restaurant.

MEH. There’s one of these in San Antonio also. I’ve eaten there also, and it was forgettable Italian food… And the flavor is exactly the same here. It makes you wonder if it is all cooked in some non-​descript commercial kitchen in Minnesota and shipped frozen, ready for microwaving to their restaurants across America. Nothing I had was even worth mentioning. I only came here because I was with a business group, and the vendor we were meeting with chose this boring and bland place to meet up. If you’re into bland Italian food… This is your restaurant.

Fair price, wonderful food, great service! But we made a reservation and you sat us next to the door and our food was cold before we could finish. Won’t be back tell you do something about your reservation system or the table at the door.

Went here for a company party. Pretty good stuff. Service was a bit slow but overall not a bad place.
We had a «family style» meal with big platters that we served ourselves with, some spaghetti with read cream sauce, some lemon chicken, and steamed/​roasted veggies. Bread was good, soft and hot. Place was cozy and fancy feeling.
Would visit again.

We came here recently for a birthday dinner with a large group. The dinner coordinator had called in a reservation, and the staff seated us in a private room. It was so nice to be in our own area, and it was decorated really nicely — Christmas tree in the corner and all. The waitstaff were so great and the food was good. I didn’t feel it lived up to the price, but it was good. We really had a nice time here and I’m grateful for the hospitality and service.

Good service with professional employees.
Food is above average.
Pre food complementary bread is warm and good.
They have a private dining room for meetings or family events.
Although Italian place, they have a low calorie menu, that has very good and tasty option.

Wow!!! First timer to this restaurant and it was awesome. Great service from start to finish.
Maitre d came by the table multiple times and server did an awesome job. To the food super had the bruschetta Quattro was amazing and the Brio steak salad very good. My husband had the salmon and loved it. I so wanted dessert but was too hungry. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!!!

Happy Hour is where its at! I wish they would put a location in Plano or Frisco! Patio at Watters Creek is nice and the service is usually pretty good.
Oh and $ 5 martinis on Wednesdays. DUH

We enjoyed one of the very best italian dinners at this awesome BRIO restaurant in Allen Tx.
Our daughter recommended it for us.
It is beautiful inside.
Bobby our waiter was very helpful and friendly.
I ordered the Pasta alla Vodka it was amazing, fresh and tasty. My husband enjoyed the Pasta Bolognese, and he said it was the best he had every eaten.
We split a Bistecca wedge salad, with tomatoes, bacon and chunks of fresh blue cheese, and there were kind enough to split it for us. And it was more then enough to eat.
Next time we visit Allen Texas, we will surely enjoy another awesome dinner there.

We went for date night and were not disappointed with the meal, nor the service. the waiter was great and both my companion and my meal were very good.
The problem we did experience was after being told the wait was going to be 15 – 20 minutes, with very few people waiting as best we could tell, we ended up waiting almost 50 minutes. I expect a wait on a Saturday evening this is not my first time going out to dinner. However, generally when I am told «20 minutes» that means at the most and I don’t expect it to be well over twice the expected quoted wait time. To top that off we get to our table and there is what appears to be almost an entire plate full of food on the floor at the end of our table. To their credit when we walked up and my companion said «that’s disgusting» the hostess apologized and it was cleaned up fairly quickly after that.
I will give Brio another shot based on the service and food we received after the extended wait time and mess at our table.

First time visiting Dallas (well close enough) and my girlfriend suggested Brio for lunch. We visited on a Friday around noon and requested a table outside. Their patio provides plenty of shade and overlooks a small pond and plenty of trees. The inside of the restaurant seemed pretty full but outside consisted of only one other party. Throughout the meal, our waitress along with others came outside to make sure our meal was going well.
To start off, the bring our fresh bread loaf and Parmesan bread sticks, both of with were great. We were incredibly hungry so it tasted amazing. I ordered the flatbread/​salad lunch special which was a great deal for the amount of food. I ordered the wedge salad and the bacon flatbread. The salad tasted great and seemed fresh but the flatbread was a let down. It lacked any great or texture. It seemed that it may have been sitting a while but for the price and amount of food they gave us for the price, its hard to complain. My gf ordered the portobello ravolli and loved it.
Overall, it was a fantastic lunch spot and would definitely come back.

Love their food. The Beef Carpaccio is served on this huge, oval plate. Ultra thin slices of beef are laid out on a plate with capers and Parmesan sprinkled lightly over it. It’s cool to look at and better enjoyed in the mouth. If you like shrimp and orzo, the Shrimp Mediterranean is a must try. I really like the cilantro pesto vinaigrette in this dish. It’ not heavy at all. Just the right amount to not overpower the veggies in this dish. The Grilled Salmon Fresca is also a nice, healthy choice. The salmon is cooked per your instructions. The fries that came with the Applewood Bacon & Fontina Burger were hot and tasty. Finished every last bit. Burger was a bit dry even though we ordered medium. Here’s something odd. Odd because they do not offer an adult version of their kid’s Ravioli Formaggio (we add meat sauce too for $ 1.00 extra), which they should. This ravioli dish does not taste like it was prepared for a kid. It was good in so many ways. The ravioli and tomato sauce fresh, the meat sauce juicy; needless to say, we always leave this plate clean.

This was a return visit to this place. My first experience wasn’t pleasant however; this one was very good. The GM Brian offered us a free lunch considering the mess up the waiter did on Tuesday. I ordered the shrimp and crab cakes with red potatoes and roasted vegetables and they were fabulous. I cleaned the plate and my other co workers order a shrimp Mediterranean salad and the other ordered a chicken dish. We all ate every drop of our food. I will go back for happy hour are lunch again.

Great place to meet friends for lunch, brunch or dinner! I usually eat light here but their mimosas are quite tasty. Friendly staff and enjoy sitting at the bar or bringing a larger group to sit at a booth. The steak salad is one of my favorite things to order! They always do a nice presentation with the food as well. It has been a while but definitely think I’m overdue for a Sunday funday over here! Plenty of parking also in lots or garage and you can walk around and do some shopping after.

Met up w/​a friend for HH here (ends at 6:30 pm). Their HH consists of several appetizer plates (under $ 4 each) and cocktails (under $ 6). Here’s what we got:
– We each had 2 glasses of the white peach sangria. Pretty good. Can’t taste the alcohol, but you can feel the buzz later.
– Roasted Garlic, Spinach & Artichoke Dip with Parmesan flatbread (crunchy). Pretty good, but had more cheese than artichoke & spinach.
– Crispy Cheese Ravioli — on the salty side, had a nice crisp to it. I love cheese, but this was just ok to me. Most were hollow. I thought it would be oozing with cheese.
– Brio Burger — plain, but good. Not too dry. Not too greasy.
– Beef Carpaccio Served with field greens, capers, mustard aioli and Parmigiano-​Reggiano — raw, thin meat slices. I would have to say this was my favorite dish of the night. Would definitely recommend it.
4 glasses of sangria, 4 plates of food for under $ 40. Can’t beat that!

I’ve tried Brio once a few years back and was not impressed with the pasta so I did not return, until recently after discovering they have a fantastic happy hour. Now I am a frequent HH goer here. HH is on weekdays from 3:30 to 6:30 and reverse happy is 9 pm till 10 pm mon-​thurs and till 11 pm on Fridays.
Their drinks are super cheap and cost between $ 4-​$ 6. My fave drink is their $ 4 peach sangria and $ 4 berry martini. They also have a good variation of appetizers from burgers to pizzas. But we always get their $ 4 beef carpaccio and $ 6 shrimp with fried eggplants in a creamy cajun sauce. We’ve tried all their appetizers and they are all tasty, except for the eggplant fries. Too greasy.

It was okay. I wouldn’t jump to return, but wouldn’t hate it if someone in my group suggested it. I had the shrimp fra diavolo and although it was spicy, there was something a little off about it.
It is within short driving distance from the outlets, so I would suggest you work up an appetite before going. I visited on 4÷10÷15 and we were graced with a mini fashion show as groups of high school seniors were dining before their school prom.

Carpaccio was tasty. Bread was good, service was very good (bordering on excellent), and they were very accommodating to special orders and rectified something they made wong immediately.
All the convenience of a chain restaurant, but the food was a step or two up.
We’ll be going back
