Yane a la Mode: Brio Tuscan Grille

For dinner today the family wanted italian so we went to our favorite place: Brio Tuscan Grille. We were in the West Palm Beach area driving back down to Miami so it didn't make sense for us to go to the one in Pembroke Pines, after checking on google maps we came to know that there was one in Hallandale Beach at the Village at Gulfsteam Park (there will be another post about this area in the future.) I had called and made reservations for a group of ten but then two more friends wanted to join, I called the restaurant and a nice man answered the phone and said that this would not be a problem. However, upon entering the restaurant we encountered something not usual with Brio - A RUDE HOSTESS. I told her that we were the group of 12 that had reservations for 5:30, she replied "you mean the group of 10" I said " I actually called and said that we would be 12 and they told me this would not be a problem" her response "well I have written down for a party of 10 so I do not have a table, you will have to wait" she then proceeded to talk to her coworker, and the conversation seemed to clearly be about the situation and needless to say it was rather uncomfortable. After waiting ten minutes past our reservation we were seated at our table by her coworker who did not seem very happy either. On a better note, lets talk about what's important, the food! As always the food was just as expected: delicious.

Here are some pics of the food you can enjoy at Brio:

Fresh Baked Bread - Crunchy outside, fluffy inside.

Roasted tomato bread dip (you have to ask them for it, kind of a lil secret)

Their lemonade is home-made. Not too sweet, not too sour = perfect.

Lasagna is a bit hit in our family (this pictures shows half of the actual size, we usually split it and share one.) Comes in a bechamel white and tomato red sauce. Yum, yum, yum.
