   Food is delicious. Also love the atmosphere as there are several seating sections. In the back is moodier and the front section is light and many windows. Everything we’ve eaten has been delicious. Although the price is very high, we go for special occasions.

   It was my BF’s birthday. The Reserve is always lovely, but we were both disappointed with the food. Of course it’s a special occasion place & you expect special occasion pricing, but the food did not live up to the pricing. We had the table side caesar salad & it was huge, but had no flavor & did not even look good. We both had 8 oz filet mignon. Mine was overcooked & had no seasoning. The sides were asparagus, mushrooms & potatoes, all very mediocre. Our server Jen was great. Very attentive, polite & professional. She was great. My BF was given a complimentary dessert & that & the birthday card were very nice touches. It just was not worth $300. Only two glasses of wine BTW. We went for our anniversary two days after they opened initially. It was absolutely fabulous in every respect. I hope they raise the bar, because at these prices (and up about 30% since they opened), I won’t be back.

   Good food and good experience overall, however service could be better ( a more experienced waiter more adapted to that kind of restaurant)and less rushed for the price charged.

   This is not to bash the restaurant. This was our third and final time trying Reserve. Our previous two meals were dinner and we thought we would try brunch. If you aren't going to fully embrace a brunch menu, don't open until dinner. The french toast was three pieces of bread stacked on top of each other sitting in a white sauce with four walnuts dropped on top without syrup or butter. The scrambled eggs were runny, the potatoes were not cooked all the way through and the toast came without butter or jam. The strawberry purée they gave is clearly for dessert topping. Had it not been for the French toast bites appetizer, the entire meal would have been a waste. Beyond the exorbitant price tags, at one point we were the only 2 people in the restaurant, after the other couple left and while the chef/manager came to the floor, he made no effort whatsoever to even acknowledge our presence. Downtown Brighton has numerous other restaurants and every one makes an effort to recognize their customers, except The Reserve. We will not be back and cannot recommend for others to spend $70 for brunch for two, especially when Bourbons is a block away and is always packed for Sunday brunch.

   Hi Jill, I am so sorry to hear about your experience as this is not what we strive for from our brunch. We are always trying new things and want everyone that comes in to enjoy their brunch experience. Did you happen to bring any of these concerns up to your server or to Nicole, the manager of the day that day? If you could, please call me at (810) 255-0317 as I would love to fix this issue for you and correct the problems going forward. Thank you for your feedback and I hope to hear from you soon, Ryan Lucas General Manager

    Food was overly salty and just okay. Nothing to brag about. The service was good Ethan was great. French onion soup had raw puff pastry on top. Brussels sprouts were extremely salty. Steak tip skewers were good and cooked perfectly. Cocktails were also good. Probably won’t be back. Wasn’t worth it.

    Hi Shannon, I apologize that you don't think our happy hour was worth the price. We strive to ensure great quality of all food going out of our restaurant and I apologize that this experience wasn't perfect for you. I hope you can give us another try to correct this concern. Thank you, Ryan Lucas General Manager
