Brio Tuscan Grills Happy Hour Review


BRIO!!! Oh how I adore Brio! I can’t tell you how much I love going to $$$ restaurants with cheap Happy Hours. Kansas City I found my favorite spot in your city! Located in the middle of the Plaza, Brio definitely compliments the beauty of KC. Gorgeous décor and a welcoming atmosphere. I felt right at home. To be honest I’m not really a Sangria fan. But Brio won me over with their White Peach Sangria (Peach nectar, berries and citrus fruits, peach schnapps, and chardonnay on the rocks). For $4 it’s worth the party you’re about to have. The Tomato Margherita Flatbread was delicious. Crisp, and full of flavor. Three words. Black. Pepper. Shrimp. (Pan seared shrimp, Romano crusted eggplant and black pepper cream sauce) Crispy eggplant and succulent shrimp is like fireworks in your mouth. Seriously bold, spicy, and just simply divine. Last but not LEAST, the Brio Burger. The bun itself I could eat alone. Broiled to perfection it’s was delicious. Brio has to be one of my favorites. I can’t wait to come back! 5 SMILES!

Ray's In The City Review

Ya girl did it y'all!!! I finally did a review outside of Omaha! Won't He do it!! I'm so thrilled to present to you Ray's In The City! Ray's has 3 locations in Georgia and today I'll be reviewing the Atlanta location on Peachtree. Ray's HH consist of 1/2 price small plates and $5 Absolute Martinis.  Fresh SEAFOOD, Prime STEAKS, and Fine WINES is the motto. Since I was in the A! I wanted to sample everything peach! First drink of choice was the Georgia Peach Martini made with Absolute Peach, peach schnapps, and a splash of orange juice. Heaven in a glass I say. If I wasn't with my boss I would've ordered two! :) The small plates we sampled were Ray's " New Orleans" BBQ Shrimp (cajun style, BBQ butter sauce, boursin grit cake), Crispy Calamari ( tomato marinara and lemon aioli), and Ray's Blue Cheese Chips (house made potato chips, bacon, and blue cheese). Besides the shrimp everything was worth the price. During HH you only get three shrimp but hey it was good regardless. The Chips were my fav! I never thought blue cheese and homemade chips would be so delightful. My overall experience with Ray's was great. They have a lounge area with tvs so you can watch the Falcons game. On the other side of the restaurant is the dinning area, where its a little quiter for a candle light dinner with your boo. Rays is for anyone, as long as you abide by the Business Casual dress code. For my first review outside Omaha....I give Ray 4 Smiles. :)
