Brio is slow, like molasses taffy
So I went to lunch at Brio today for Thomas’ birthday. It is convenient as it is next door to the office, but more often than not seems to be a generally awful and time intensive experience. Brio is a “Tuscan grille” which unfortunately offered a different menu than I originally anticipated: grilled Italians from the Tuscany region.
Lauren: How was lunch?
KP: It was Brio.
