Brio - Cherry Hill, NJ



Somewhat upscale, chain restaurant. Stumbled upon a happy hour.
M-F 4-6 pm.
Seated on the outside patio. Balmy night, but a mild breeze. It's a nice area, but the fact that it's right next to the busy parking lot is somewhat of a detraction. They would soo benefit from a line of inexpensive potted arborvitaes to make it more secluded.



BUT......
the drink prices and bar menu made up for the flaws. This could be my new favorite place, based on the menu.
$5 cocktails, and cosmos.................lots to choose from. The black raspberry cosmo was good, as was the vodka martini with bleu cheese stuffed olives, and the Manhattan was good.



The food was not only ultra affordable at only $3.98 per, but really very good too.

Crispy Shrimp Piccante, Beef Carpacchio, Four Cheese Pizzetta, and Spicy Shrimp and Eggplant. YUMMMM


Bahama Breeze - Cherry Hill, NJ

OK, so it's kind of "processed" but it ain't bad.
Happy hour M-F from 4 - 6 PM Parking in the Mall parking lot can be a little challenging.
Decent drinks for a song--check out these $3 (that's right, $3) Bourbon and Ginger, and Vodka and Cranberry. Nice



And the Happy Aps were surprisingly good. Check out the Cheese Burger Sliders, and the Chicken Fried Sliders. Not haute cuisine, but not to bad at $5 each. They were tasty.
