"Grilled Cheese was FABULOUS I will return for it. My Mel 's Diner Experience: The Novel I sent my hubby to pick up our order because I was feeling under the weather, he ordered a pot roast diner with a chicken noodle soup side and I ordered the grilled cheese with chicken noodle soup. When he was given the order it didn 't feel right so he checked it when he got to the car, it was a club sandwich and fries...wrong. Went back inside, explained the order was wrong and repeated our order with me on the phone, I think he was calm compared to...well me haha but again I wasn 't feeling well and STARVING. SO cut to NOOW we have the right order, checked in the car again, everything looked good and he headed my way so we could feast. I saw the grilled cheese and my eyes started drooling. I picked up the soup bowl and...I knew then...it was wrong. Opened...and there is was, some cream based chowder NOT CHICKEN NOODLE bs. I was LIVID. I immediately got in the car (hubby was really enjoying the pot roast so I couldn 't ask him to go, 5 stars) . When I arrived I explained the situation, the manager said we 're not serving chicken noodle soup today so I don 't know how you were able to order it . I responded I ordered it from your website, it 's listed on my receipt and order ticket..? . Manager suggested I keep the soup, receive a refund, or get a salad. Since I had two soups I asked for one refund and one salad. Refund processed, salad received, and I left. Stopped at good 'oId Publix and splurged on a pint of chicken noodle soup from the deli and went on with my life... I can 't explain exactly how it came about but I just didn 't enjoy the feeling the manager gave me that it was my fault because I shouldn 't of ordered what was available for me to order. If your not serving something, update your menu online, if your not serving something, calls take out order customers prior to pick up and suggest alternatives. 3 stars for a 5 star FOOD review, negative 2 stars for staff mood. We are all going through it right now, I 'm in two types of customer service industries and I manage to slap a smile on my face and except all responsibility for anything wrong even if it doesn 't make sense to me. Please try to enjoy what you do, it will benefit us all."

"This is our third visit in the last few months. I haven’t reviewed in the past, because we didn’t book through open table. This time, we did, hoping we would be sat quicker and they would be somewhat ready for us, we had my 95-year-old mother with us. Made reservations for 5:00pm outside, the restaurant was empty, and we were told four times by the hostesses they would get the table cleaned off and it would be a few minutes. Twelve minutes later standing there with my mom, we were ready to be sat outside. There were about 10 tables outside and only two others were already sat, and the others were dirty. It’s not like it was a surprise we were going to be there at 5:00pm, and since it was empty, forethought would be to clean a table and get it ready. That was only the beginning, our server was there pretty quickly and said he would bring water and bread and then take our drink order. About 15 minutes later a manager came out and asked if we had been helped, we placed a drink order with her and appetizer. The wine arrived pretty promptly and then our water and bread finally appeared. A little later the caprese appetizer arrived. It looked really good other then the sticker was still on the tomato and sliced, when the manager came out and asked how things were, showed her and it was removed from our bill. Now the entrees, we all ordered the same thing, three salmon frescas, we have had them before so asked for the salmon to be well done. In the past, it’s been pretty raw, so this typically works to get it at least from being cold in the middle. Waiter didn’t write anything down and all three salmons were raw. My husband and mom ate theirs; I couldn’t get myself to eat the salmon tartare. Asked for it to be cooked a little more, it came out rather burnt but, I was hungry. We used to really like Brio and was on our regular rotation of about once a week before CoVid, something happened. We will come back in few months and if better will review then."
