    Three of five of us ordered different salads and they were all generous portions and fresh and unique and wonderful. The other two ordered pizza and pasta and they were fine but not as special as the salads. Servers were really nice and the atmosphere is lovely and parking is easy.

    Asked for a booth, got a table, & 5 minutes later a booth was available. Not impressed w/the hostess. Sommelier was good! Our server was just ok. It took over 30 minutes to get rosemary flatbread, w/no updates. Chicken and polenta was great.

    The service and ambiance were fantastic but unfortunately the food was over salted so not as good as it could have been. Hopefully it was just a bad night or a new chef.

    The food was fine. The service was really poor. I waited about 15 minutes for my cocktail. Our appetizer was served and left on the corner of the table and the server neglected to say the bowl was super hot. We drank all our water and no refills and so on.

    We were there on a lovely summer evening, and our server was very friendly and accommodating. However, the baked ziti was dry and somewhat misrepresented as it had very few tomatoes, and was just not well executed. The carbonara was passible. I ordered a Martini, and when I was served I was informed that they were out of dry vermouth so they used sweet vermouth- totally inappropriate. (They did replace the cocktail.) My wife’s Old Fashion was watery and lacked flavor. If you’re going to serve cocktails, hire a bartender who knows what they’re doing.

    We can always count on Trio for a good meal. But they had the music too loud this time and we finally had to ask our wait person to turn it down. She acknowledged that it was loud and it made me wonder why she had waited for someone to ask to turn it down.

    The hostesses where the absolute worst! They acted annoyed with us from the very moment we walked in. Never a smile or a welcome, just follow me. We arrived at 6:30pm and promptly ordered drinks and an appetizer. It took about 45 min for that to arrive. After asking to order we waited another 45 minutes for our dinner to arrive. My medium rare burger was very well done and missing condiments. I asked the waitress for the rest of my burger and she questioned me if it was really missing?!? My friend ordered pasta that was chard and stuck to the sides of her plate burnt to a crisp. Never did anyone apologize or even ask how our dinner was. Don’t waste your time or money on this place.

    We were not sure whether to risk the rain and sit outside or inside, plus we arrived one half hour after our reserved time. Nevertheless, the staff was so nice and helped us decide where to sit. The lemon chicken salad was a little disappointing - too much lettuce. The chicken was nicely done, but I expected a little more support with ingredients besides lettuce.

    We went here for my husband’s birthday and I noted this in reservation. Despite this, server did not comment on this occasion or attempt to make our experience a little extra special, or festive, like offering a dessert for him like often happens when celebrating a special day. We arrived and there were no one seated inside the restaurant. We asked if we could sit outside as it was a beautiful evening and almost all tables were open outside as well (it was only 5:15 pm) but host said we could not sit on patio but offered to put two tables together by front sidewalk. We opted against it as my father-in-law has troubles with his eyes and needed the shade the patio offered. Not sure why they couldn’t seat us outdoor since it was only filling up as we left the restaurant. Other than than, good food, service was fine but but sadly only an ok evening in ice-cold ac and not quite that little extra we had hoped for to celebrate my husband’s birthday.

    I hosted a business dinner at Cafe Trio and we really enjoyed our time. The food was pretty good and the service was great. The only slight complaint was that when the restaurant got busier it got quite loud and was hard to communicate.
