Best food I have ever had

by mmcharlie62 at Citysearch

I've travelled all over North America and eaten at some of the finest restaurants ... this is a true find. The selection is varied with nightly specials and a creative chef. I've seldom had better food, this is a great restaurant that you must try

What a gem!

by M70Z at Citysearch

I only had a few minutes before my next meeting, but this was the perfect place to grab a quick lunch. The food was fantastic, the wait staff was friendly, although there could have been more of them... they were so busy, and the atmosphere was very fun. The decor is very rustic and slightly South American. I really enjoyed the homemade fries. I definitely plan on returning.

  • Pros: Great Food, Fun Atmosphere, Good Location
  • Cons: Slow Service

If you like being robbed, then go here!

We were tourists in Springfield, and clearly it showed. After having a mediocre lunch here, we returned home several days later and found they had changed a 4 dollar tip to a 40 dollar one. This also resulted in 2 overdraft fees, which they refuse to pay! Basically, we spent 130 dollars for 2 forgettable sandwiches and a glass of iced tea.

  • Cons: fraudulent practices

might have been

by membername9 at Citysearch

Well, it might have been OK, but we didn't get a chance to eat. We got there at 10 minutes to 3:00PM today. A lunch was being served until 3, then they were to close and open back up for dinner at 5. Even though we got there before 3, the hostess/waitress said they stopped serving, "since it was 3." Guess they didn't need our business (or maybe she was off at 3), either way, we were turned away. The very next restaurant that we then went to, Galina's, we were welcomed, with a smile. Galina's has an excellent antipasta, fresh baked breads for sandwiches (meat ball is best), and great, great pizza. So thanks for nothing, Cafe Brio.

The worst place ever!

by xzyt at Citysearch

The worst experience ever in my life. I ordered a Chicken Cesar salad and they brought me a flat desert plate size with lettuce and tomatoes left over and I had to pay $9 for that.

I would close down this place and open a thrift store 'cause that's Springfield all about, lazy, ugly, weird peasants.

Don?t even think about going to that place! It?s very bad!
