We hadn't eaten here before and saw this was the highest rated among the restaurants in the casino; it definitely didn't disappoint. Ed was a wonderful waiter, his food suggestions (see the pictures!) were fantastic and overall everyone was super nice. We will definitely be back when we are able to.
We had a great time at Brio itialian grille. Wish we went more often. It is a little expensive overall, but worth it. The lobster bisque was seasoned and flavored very well. I had chicken alfredo and my wife had the seafood alfredo. Both very good. The dessert was smooth and rich with flavors. Would go back.
This place delivered, I'm always skeptical of casino restaurants especially the ones that tout themselves as five star, white linen tablecloth, fine dining establishment. But it didn't disappoint, the service was fantastic and the food was very good. The environment is nice, it's a nice restaurant and it's inside a casino so that affects it. But as far as it being a fine dining experience, it was every bit of that. It was priced that way, it was serve that way, and it was presented that way. This is definite go to place if you're looking for something fine dining in Cherokee.
I cant say enough about this place. The waiter was training but it was so cool watching them work together and they would come and check on us and you could hear him singing! But the food was awesome!
I recently dined at Brio Restaurant inside Harrah's Cherokee Resort, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. We booked a last-minute reservation using the Open Door app, which I highly recommend for its convenience. From the moment we walked in, everything was seamless. We checked in and were seated quickly. Our server, Meliss, was incredibly efficient despite being very busy. She ensured we had everything we needed without any delays. The food was amazing, especially the flatbread, and my margarita was absolutely perfect. Thank you for a fantastic dining experience!
Brio is always a favorite of ours when we visit Harrah’s. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous and is reminiscent of a cozy neighborhood Italian restaurant. Service is always top notch, even on a Saturday that is fully booked with reservations and walk ups. It’s obvious the employees care about the customers experience from the hostess all the way to the end of your dinner. We began our meal with the complimentary bread which was served warm with butter. We ordered calamari for our appetizer and it was top notch with a side of horseradish and marinara. Our entrees were served promptly- presentation of food was excellent and the taste was even better- fresh and obviously prepared to order. We were celebrating a special occasion and ordered dessert which did not disappoint the senses. Overall excellent experience and look forward to our visit when in the area.
The restaurant is very open and a bit loud, but the food and service were outstanding. Our server was attentive but we did not feel pushed or rushed, even though we were a fairly late seating. We had an appetizer, salad, and entrees and they arrived with sufficient space between. We also took a piece of tiramisu to go, and it was wonderful. We can't wait to go back!
My son wanted to celebrate his birthday at Harrah’s Casino in Cherokee and decided he wanted to eat dinner at Brio’s located within the casino. I had never been to Brio's before, but my husband and son had eaten there previously on a guy’s trip and wanted to go back. What a perfect choice for a fabulous meal after a few hours of gambling and people watching in the casino and was a great way to celebrate a special occasion! The restaurant’s decor is beautiful, and it has a great atmosphere with superb service. Our server, KC, was absolutely incredible: attentive, friendly, experienced, funny, efficient, etc. She made sure our glasses were full and brought us some of their delicious bread and fresh butter a few times. We made great food choices based upon her recommendations. She also provided us with local intel on other things to do in the area during our visit. Despite her section being very full, she was very attentive. Brio’s menu has lots of choices and price ranges. Per the website, the lunch menu prices appear to be cheaper. Some of the choices were above our typical price range for dinner; however, we had many options and price ranges from which to choose, Plus, we had looked at the menu beforehand and knew what to expect and were specifically going there for a special occasion. Everything was “deliziosa.” My husband and I both chose the “chicken milanese” which is a Romano-crusted chicken with fresh mozzarella, herb pasta and a house marinara, topped with additional grated mozzarella. It was a very large portion size and was absolutely delicious. I cannot say enough positive things about how good it was. It was way too much food for me, so I shared part of mine with my son and still had leftovers to take home. My husband was able to eat all of his food and was very full. Our son chose the “pasta alla vodka” which is a ricotta-filled pasta with a spicy tomato cream and crispy pancetta, topped with additional grated mozzarella. For an additional fee, he added the crusted chicken to it. He said it was delicious and simply amazing! I tried some of it and now wish I could replicate that spicy vodka sauce at home! It was a medium to large sized portion and was plenty of food. For dessert and to celebrate our son’s birthday, our server brought him a serving of the “caramel mascarpone cheesecake” made up of mascarpone cream, anglaise, and a caramel drizzle. It was the best cheesecake we have ever eaten, and we have tried a lot of cheesecakes from a lot of restaurants in our day! LOL While my pictures do not do the food justice, I think you will get the picture of what the food looked like. You will have to order it yourself to know for yourself how delicious it is! :) If you want some great Italian food and fantastic service, we highly recommend this place–especially if you are already at the casino. However, be sure to make reservations in advance as they only seat you if you have a reservation, which are super easy to make via your phone, website, etc. Believe me, if you ever go once, you will definitely want to go back. In fact, now that I have finished writing my review, I want some more of their great food and will make plans to go back.
