Service was the worst we’ve had in a while. Waited 20-mins for a server to acknowledge us then another to get water. I had to go to the bar for 1st rounds of water. Food arrived on time; most enjoyed their dinner. The lobster bisque was too salty. The molten chocolate cake showed up luke warm and was served with our empty dinner plates still on the table. The left-over boxes showed up with the check but were asked for before the desserts showed up. The price was great but the crap service clouded the whole experience. Very disappointing.

While we’re glad most of your party enjoyed the food and found the pricing fair, we understand how the service impacted your overall visit. Your detailed feedback, from the wait time to the dessert presentation and timing of to-go boxes, is incredibly helpful and has been shared with our team to address and improve. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance to deliver the experience you deserve.

Good was decent. But service needed a lot of work. They also overcharged us on our bill

It was the worst food and service I've ever had at an Italian restaurant. They didn’t have espresso because their coffee machine was broken, and they didn’t have pizza because they ran out of dough. It took an hour to bring us some dreadful food on a Sunday morning, without any coffee.
Brio Italian Grille - Irvine - Spectrum CenterResponded on May 25, 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience, and we sincerely apologize for the numerous disappointments during your visit. Running out of key items like pizza dough and having a broken espresso machine—especially at an Italian restaurant—is unacceptable, and we understand how frustrating it must have been to wait so long for food that didn’t meet expectations, all without even a cup of coffee. This is far from the experience we aim to provide, and your feedback has been shared with our management team to address these serious issues. We truly regret that we let you down and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

We were highly disappointed with our visit. The service was poor, the food was ok, but that did not bother me. @ out of 5 orders were done incorrectly. An honest, but frustrating mistake. the challenge was that the waiter made us feel like it was our fault then by the time our food arrived, everyone else at the table had already finished their food. The manager did come over to apologize, which was nice. But he should have offered to remove our dishes from the bill, which he ended doing later when we refused a free desert. Mistakes happen, but we did not feel like valued in any way. I will not go here again

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we’re truly sorry for the frustration and disappointment you encountered. It’s unacceptable that your orders were incorrect and that the situation was not handled with the care and respect every guest deserves. While we’re glad the manager eventually addressed the issue, it should have been resolved with more empathy from the start. Your feedback will be shared with our team to ensure we do better in the future. We regret that we’ve lost your trust and the opportunity to welcome you back.

I've eaten here before, but usually for lunch or dinner, and always had a good experience. For Mother's Day we had a party of 15 and was not the greatest experience. We were there pretty early so the restaurant was not full by any means. I understand that large parties on such a popular day can be challenging, but service was not great. Also, the food quality was not what I'd experienced in the past. Ultimately, we had a nice meal but could have been a much better experience. I'll be back but just not for brunch.

Service was very slow!. Sorry to say. Maybe because we were out in the patio off the bar. The Salmon with vegetables was pretty good. We were there Friday at 7:30 pm. I think in such a competitive environment they have to snap it up a bit.
