Tonight Maryanne and I went to a lovely restaurant that just opened here in Allen called Brio Tuscan Grille. We were greeted by very nice valet parking attendants who even opened the door for us. Nice. A good start.

The atmosphere was a nice, low light Tuscany style, large dining room with plenty of room for small and large parties alike. From greeting to seating every one of the staff was nicely attired and very friendly.

Within a couple of minutes our waiter introduced himself and presented us with the current specials and wine selections. Much to my delight not only was he very attentive and knowledgeable about the food, anytime the waiter was unable to come by another of the wait staff came by instead to make sure we were taken care of.

The food was very tasty, and presentation was top notch. Price vs. portion was not too bad for my entree, which was the Roasted Lamb. Maryanne’s dish, some type of seafood pasta, which was also tasty, was only a little pricey for the portion.

We then decided to give the dessert a try. We had a wonderful, melt-in-your-mouth brownie with ice cream dessert that was worth every penny. Couple that with a good, mild coffee with cream and our dinner was given a nice finish.

I enjoyed my experience at Brio, and look forward to returning there to dine. For more information about this restaurant visit their website at http://www.brioitalian.com/.
