All was good until time to pay. Both my dinner companion and I (we were splitting the bill) were charged multiple different amounts as if the server confused our table with another. The wrong charges were reversed but bot a good look on the restaurant or server.

Food and service very good. Restaurant decor needs attention and updating. Lampshades crooked, Clean tablecloth’s wrinkled and still put on. Strange to have server’s glasses, napkins and other service needs around sculpture on display in middle of room. Dors not add to the ambiance.

It's not all that great. The circus element is nice. However, it really falls short on the food. It is over cooked and not refined. The pasta, we think, is from frozen or made days before and reheated. The fish plate was way overcooked and loaded with too many artichokes! Someone threw green martini olives all over the plate like a child would, to impress their parents! For $120 plus tip is it best to stay away. We are not going back anytime soon. Thanks for nothing!

We’ve dined at Brissagos many times. This was the first where things were a bit off. Granted it was New Year’s Eve but starting dinner at 9pm, it took 45 minutes before bread was even brought to our table. When we spoke to the Manager about the slow service and other tables being served even though they arrived after us, we were told it was our fault for ordering a bottle of wine as this was pointed at for causing the slow down. The waiter apologized so that was appreciated. The drunken table next to us loudly blurting out a string of f-bombs the entire meal made for one interesting dining experience. That and a different drunken guy passed out on the sofa near the restaurant just added to the night. But again…it was New Year’s Eve so you just try to roll with it.

Amazing from start to finish. Drinks and service excellent. I had the pasta carbonara which was amazing, huge portion! Hubby had a strip steak which he said was cooked perfectly. Calamari was cooked to perfection and served with a pesto type sauce, delish! Cheesecake was best I've ever had

We were celebrating my birthday and had come for dinner & to listen to Cole Brandt play that evening. The service was impeccable, our server very attentive and the food absolutely delicious. All this was topped by me receiving a generous slice of cheese cake I did share with my husband. For our first visit to Grand Geneva, it was a wonderful experience!
