Brio - Andover

Where to begin: came and had dinner with my wife after moving to the area and trying to find a good restaurant that 's not a chain. We walked in and there were only guests at 2 tables, yet we stood there awkwardly at the host stand for approx 2-3 min while both their staff members just stared at us, so not a welcoming start. We went to the bar after seeing the empty booths not cleared off. Our server apologized after which was nice, but also gave a very odd excuse of why she was staring at us for that long and not moving. I am not a fan of their wine list but they do have some nice beer options on tap. We started with the crab cakes. A very generous portion, but we could barely eat one of the 3 because they were so burnt/over cooked. We asked for an extra side of the aioli hoping it would cover it up but it did not. My wife ordered the pasta and I ordered the buffalo chicken sliders with their house made chips. My wife had about 4 bites of her pasta and I had maybe half of a cold slider. We actually had to go eat after coming here. The food is not worth coming back for and the service was interesting, but not in a good way. I would strongly recommend elsewhere in the area!

Great little niche coffee spot. Very comfortable decor and a unique menu. Can't speak for their dinner menu but their bagel sandwiches are quite good. The specialty cappuccinos are excellent- had the G and Cherry Bomb. Interesting crowd hanging out there midday- service was a little slow but was made up for in quality. Excited to frequent this spot

Cute place but ridiculous rules such as No Screens after 4pm on Sunday. They literally would not let me use my laptop so I left and won 't ever go back

Disappointed. No screens after 4pm. Really shouldn 't be an issue on a Monday evening when there are two other tables at 6pm. If your place was busier, I 'd get it. I wanted to support local but looks like I 'm headed to Caribou to work on homework.

I've been here twice and the coffee is 5 stars fantastic but the the food leaves something to be desired. I got an expresso chip scone it was cold and hard, but the thing I find unforgivable is it was burnt. Black burnt. I've included a photo so you can see I'm not exaggerating. I had the hashbrown quiche the other time and it was tasty, but after I got 2/3 through it was cold. I know I could have them heat it up, but I hate having to, so I just stopped eating. 2 stars only because the coffee was great.
