I liked Brio better when they didn't charge for the chips and salsa, but I still fork over the cash for the best homemade chips and salsa I've ever had. The eclectic Mexican-ish menu is full of fantastic items, such as their chimichangas and their blackened chicken salad. Yes, that sounds chain restaurant boring, but they do those dishes up great, and I'm just forgetting the more interesting ones. I moved to Chicago long ago and still call Brio my favorite restaurant.
Pros: Great food, great ambience
Cons: Charging for chips and salsa now
