    Food and service was exceptional as always. Feel bad for downtown Brighton businesses with main st. under construction. Hard to get to restaraunt but still worth it

    My wife and I enjoyed our dinner at Brighton Bar and Grill. She had the filet and I had the lamb chops and both were cooked to perfection. The wine choices were excellent and enhanced the overall enjoyment of the meal. Brighton Bar and Grill is one of our favorite restaurants in the area.

    Excellent as usual. Love Brighton Bar. Service was great and food outstanding. One diner was gluten free and numerous choices for them, always a huge plus. FYI, this is written in spring 2023 and diners should know (especially those of us coming from out of town), Main Street is closed and one must walk from behind the restaurant to get to the front door. Just follow WAZE and you’ll be ok. Unfortunately there wasn’t a notice given by the restaurant so we were a few minutes late. This little snafu didn’t ruin anything, just be aware. Again, our group had a wonderful time, great food and service ( also know that the restaurant has fabulous specials) so enjoy!

    Even though I made my reservation early and sent a message that we were celebrating our anniversary in request for a table in quiet/private area, management disregarded and put us front and center in a busy area. I say that it was management because I noticed that when we checked in the hostess had a table set but the manager said, “no we can’t put them there because it needs to be a 4 top” and proceeded to locate us in the busiest section. Would have been 5 stars had it not been for that. Management = 0 stars. Everyone else = 5 stars.

    Last nite was the first "less than perfect" time at one of our favorite places, here! The Good: Server ELISE was over and above excellent! Anticipated every need, polite and professional, took excellent care to make our experience great in every way! And Reservation staff AGAIN did magic to let us get our favorite (window) table. This was a big ask on my part esp for the night in question (huge prom nite, graduation nite). Staff also called me to review my special requests ahead of time ( this was a big birthday celebration, needed candles on carrot cakes!). Bad: 4 of our party of 6 had entrees that were less than the normally spectacular, proteins were all overdone. Chicken Picatta , Walleye and Steak Benedict. My order, the special (center cut rib eye) was tough though cooked to chefs' recommendation (served to me very medium rare). Only the two scallop entrees were raved about. We love you always, Brighton BB&G. I know you know perfection means always being consistently superb. You usually are!

    I was at Brighton Grill twice last week. The first time I sat in the bar area and had a terrific server. The beet and goat cheese salad was excellent. I made some specific requests for my order and was very pleased with the meal. The second time I was sat in the dining side. The server was nice but not very personable. I mentioned my celiac disease and she didn't give me much of a response and so I had to re-state a couple times in order to be sure that she heard what I was saying and the importance of letting the kitchen know that this is more than being gluten free. Not sure she ever did but I only ordered a salad anyway. On the bar side, that server assured me of the safety steps taken by the kitchen.

    Great good as usual. Our waitress was wonderful. The food came out quickly and was nice and hot. The noise level got a bit loud but we managed. What a wonderful restaurant. The only issue is that Main St where the restaurant is is closed and will be for send time. We all came from out of town and has no idea of this. Parking has always been hard sitting there and now it’s really horrible. I parked over five blocks away partially because I’m from out of town and partially due to construction. We had the reservation when the restaurant opened so it must be a nightmare later. Maybe post this situation on the web site so people leave earlier to find parking time.

    I love Brighton Bar and Grill. I go there when I want a good meal and good service. And everything is cooked to order. I find it difficult in other restaurants to get a rare steak, and BBG always does it right. My only feedback is that I had the special last night. It was served with fingerling potatoes and veges. The potatoes and veges were not seasoned in any way, no salt, no herbs, no butter, nothing. That was very disappointing and not at all like BBG.
