A table of 5 girlfrends got terrible service and finally we walked out. The time before when I went with my husband the food was just average. No more trips to this place for me.

Excellent Grille that lives up to it's name. Terrific Food, service & wine selection. Causal upbeat atmosphere with a friendly professional staff.
This is not a quiet retreat, but rather a celebration of food, wine and friends. The obvious number of repeat customers is the true barometer of any great ristorante (restaurant).
If you ...

The Patio is very inpressive, you feel like you are in Italy, I had lunch with my family price was very reasonable and the food was very good. We tried it again the following week for dinner and was excellent, the waiter was very friendly and funny. The bar feels like " Cheers" I noticed lots of locals talking to eachother it was very friendly. I will be go back and keek you abreast. Ciao

Brio has changed not for the better...

Staff not friendly as before and female bartender not interested in service. The ambiance is just not there anymore. I didn't try the food but it used to be excellent. What happened to the staff and the smiles and the place "where everybody knows your name?" Justin and Evette still great however.

Cool place to Visit

Very nice ambiance, food was very good, we had a 24 oz steak with Gorgonzola cheese and sauteed onions that was incredible chow. We had a lovely young lady for our waitress she made our meal very enjoyable. I wish we stayed for the music it souded good. Marcus B.

What a Surprise for a small restaurant in Dana Point, it was a very good experience, and food was very good quality. The ambiance is like a real European restaurant. The music and dancing was very fun Andrew

Over priced food and gropping sessions for single old men that have nothing else to do. We miss the beautiful young lady that used to be a hostess with her bright smile. She made the first impression. I believe her her name was Erika.

Not a favorite either
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/29/06
It used to be a nice place, however, the past few times my family and I have gone, both the quality of the food and the quality and friendliness and professionalism of the staff have significantly gone downhill. Enzo has great potential if he would professionalize the bartending and waitressing staff. That would make a significant ...

Authentic Italian food
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/28/06
I go there often because the food is mostly authentic Italian. IMO, it's the best I could find in the US. I don't like the dancing, the Dana Point crowd and overall ambiance, but that's me. Service is quick and effective.
