High hopes, terrible experience

1 Posted on 01 / 27 / 2013

I am so very disappointed. A group of friends and I stopped in, yesterday, for lunch. What a horrible experience. We all left frustrated. I had the Angus Burger. I ordered it medium, it came rare. My friend ordered the same except she ordered hers well done, it was served rare. We waited ten minutes for the waitress, she never returned with other requests. Finally, my friend had to walk her meal back to the kitchen in order to get service. After 25 minutes, her second burger was served, this time the burger was burnt. When we asked for the manager, the manager seem uncaring and unwilling to rectify the situation. Further, the rest of us made requests for other items, like refills, utensils and extra condiments, which we never received. The kicker to this is that two of us paid with a credit card each and we were both over charged. My other friend's meal was $11+. She left a cash tip. She checked her statement last night and was charged an additional 2.50 on her credit card. My bill was $12.41. I did not leave a tip because of the poor service. I just checked my credit card statement, I too was overcharged by 2.50. What kind of establishment is this? Not only bad service, but unauthorized charges, too!?! Unbelievable! If you choose to go to Cafe Brio after this and other reviews, PAY CASH and expect poor service and poorly prepared meals.

Couple Vegan Options

3 Posted on 12 / 28 / 2011

If you're heading downtown to check out those many Lincoln sites or the Illinois capital stuff, there are a few places with vegan options. I like to go to Cafe Brio where they give you chips and salsa to start and I always get their spring salad. For sandwiches, one is kinda at a loss for a vegan grub, but they have a portobello sandwich which you can have them veganize (no pesto and aioli). This pretty much just leaves you with bread and a mushroom, so get some sandwich veggies and mustard and you're good to go. They have some pretty tasty hand-cut fries and sweet potato chips too.

For a complete review, please see my blog here: http://veganmiss.blogspot.com/2011/08/vegan-springfield-il-part-one.html

Pros: vegan friendly, will accomodate
Cons: needs more veg options on menu
