    Made reservation 3months in advance to eat before seeing a show at Harrah’s. Arrived on time and no table was available. After waiting 30 minutes they sat us in bar area at a small lounge table. More time waiting for drinks and to order. Placed order and it finally arrived 10 minutes before show started. Wasn’t going to woof it down so told em to keep it. Disappointing to say the least as it was to be a nice birthday outing for my niece. Only good thing is they didn’t charge for drinks and appetizer. Definitely understaffed but expected to get better service when reserving table that far in advance.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're truly sorry that your visit was met with long wait times, a less-than-ideal seating arrangement, and a missed meal before your show. We understand how frustrating it must have been, especially given that you made your reservation well in advance. While we’re glad our team was able to offer your drinks and appetizer on the house, that doesn't make up for a birthday outing that fell short of expectations. We’re actively addressing staffing and seating concerns to prevent this from happening in the future. We appreciate your feedback and hope we’ll have the chance to provide a far better experience in the future.

    We've eaten here many times before, and it was not that crowded, so not sure what was happening with the service but our waitress said they did not have a manager there that day. We sat down at 6:15 pm and did not leave until 8:39. There were only 2 of us, We shared an appetizer, soup and pasta dish. The original type of wine ordered was Rose and she brought out a Pinot Noir. The appetizers came out in a timely manner but we waited for 1 pasta dish and I finally asked where it was. She checked and came back and said they made the wrong dish and had to make a new one. She did offer us a free dessert ... not sure if they were short on staff but the service was extremely slow. We watched other diners having similar issues.

    Thank you for being a returning guest and for taking the time to share this detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your most recent visit didn’t reflect the level of service you've come to expect from us. Waiting over two hours for a simple meal—especially when the restaurant wasn't crowded—is frustrating, and we understand how the wine mix-up and delay with your pasta added to the disappointment. We appreciate you pointing out the lack of management presence and other guests experiencing similar delays—these are concerns we’re actively reviewing with our team to prevent future issues. We value your continued support and hope you'll give us another chance to provide the smoother, more enjoyable experience you deserve.

    Very nice looking restaurant and the service was great however the food was very disappointing and I had been to the Brio’s in Raleigh a few years ago and it was great. The bread was Sourdough which does not pair well with Italian food. The salad had feta cheese in it (Italian??). My wife started with the Cacio Pepe. Need to change the name, not even close to Cacio Pepe, the Gnocchi were ok. I started with the Shrimp & Risotto, the shrimp did not pair well with the brown mushroom sauce, once again OK. The Chicken Marsala was not good at all. An overcooked Chicken Breast topped with a Marsala sauce that was like paste. So thick you could stand a spoon in it. Overall the server made it an enjoyable evening less the food.

    Steak had no flavor and the chicken had a chemical taste to it.

    Food was atrocious! Gnocchi inedible, carpaccio tough and chewy, flatbread topped with cold tomatoes. Even the cocktails were horrid.. tasted a bit like chemicals.

    Chicken was dry and overcooked on the chicken fettuccine, lasagne was not even edible had some kind of pepper or herbs in it, not much sauce just weird spongy cheese. Told the waitress my daughter couldn’t eat it and she said ok and left. Took 10 min to get water when we sat down. Our table was next to a wall where we could hardly sit down. Someone was set so close to us we could hear every word they said
    Brio Italian Grille - Cherokee - Cherokee CasinoResponded 5 days ago
    We’re very sorry to hear about your experience. From the overcooked chicken and inedible lasagna to the slow service and uncomfortable seating, it’s clear we missed the mark in several important ways. Your server’s lack of response to your concerns is especially disappointing. This is not the level of food quality or hospitality we strive to provide. Your feedback has been shared with our team so we can address these issues directly. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
