I recently dropped by Brio at the Mall at Millenia for a media preview of their new Art of the Grill menu and National Lasagna Day. It had been a while since I’ve dropped by and was glad I did. The flavors were fresh, and I particularly enjoyed the beef carpaccio appetizer.
This, we are told, is among the highest selling items out of the entire nation for Brio right here in Orlando – and it’s because of the high volumes of Brazilian tourists – who certainly know and love their beef – who call Brio’s carpaccio the best in town. I can see why – thinly sliced eye round beef with lovely capers and lemon aioli – the beef is fresh and the setting is beautiful.
