Brio Loves Kids! It's written on the children menu so it must be true! Actually, it really does seem to be true. They have one of the most extensive children's menu out there (if not THE most) including anything Italian plus chicken fingers and build your own pizza's.
They offer selections for ‘small adults' with things like chicken parmesan and grilled salmon. Weekends you will find a brunch served until 3pm with pancakes, French toast or scrambled eggs -$3.50 to $4.00. Kid's meals include a soft drink, lemonade or milk. There are sides and salads, fries, fruits and veggies averaging $2.00. We were there on Sunday an there seemed to be as many families with children as people without and everyone got along famously. It is not so loud as to be annoying, or so quiet as to worry about your kid's giggles or bickering over who gets the last piece of the yummy and hot sourdough bread.
Open Monday - Thursday 11am - 10pm, Friday and Saturday 11am - 11pm, Sunday 11am - 9pm. Limited reservations available. Brunch 11:00 to 3:00 on Sundays with full menu available.
