The food was fantastic. My wife and I each had filet and I had lobster tail with it. Cooked perfectly! Our server, who was probably new, was very friendly but wasn’t as knowledgeable about the menu as she should have been. Also, empty plates were not cleared promptly.

Fantastic service!!! Delicious starters!! Carrots were outstanding, lobster cargo made your mouth water! Our steaks were over cooked, but our server was very accommodating, offering to remake or comp them. Everything else was perfect!

Sara, Thank you so much for your review. I am so happy you enjoyed your experience. I sincerely apologize about your steaks being over cooked and I hope your server took care of those for you. I hope you try us again as that is not the normal for us. Thank you again, Ryan Lucas General Manager

We were visiting a friend who lives in the area and didn’t know the restaurant before coming. Jayden was our server, and he gave us an excellent presentation of the menu with recommendations. He also selected cocktails and wine for us, which were all impeccable. The food was phenomenal, but Jayden really made the experience stand out. We will make the drive to come back because of it.

Ambience great food good. Arrived at 6:15 didn’t receive entree until 7:45. Either a waiter or kitchen screwup. Restraunt was only at 35% capacity. Mentioned to manager he did nothing to make it right.
The Reserve BrightonResponded on June 20, 2025
Hi Patricia, I am happy to hear that your food tasted amazing but sad to hear you feel like it took to long to get the food to you. Looking at your experience, it looks like you had a few courses as well as drinks. We do put a pause in every course to ensure you don't get all food out at once and your experience is spaced out and pleasant. I apologize if that was not your expectation as we can certainly send everything out at once if you prefer to speed up your dining. This doesn't seem to be a screw up, however a miscommunication on expectations. I do apologize again and please feel free to give me a call to go over any other details to fix this going forward. Thank you, The Reserve Management

I could not wait to go to this restaurant. Everything started out great from having drinks at the bar to be seated in the restaurant. Jen, our server gave up on us. My dinner came with hair on my steak. By the time they took it back and had my sides on the plate, my husband finished eating and the rest of the sides were cold. They brought out extra potatoes and then they offered a free dessert. When the menu came for the dessert, it had hair attached to it. So thoroughly disgusted with this restaurant. It is not a cheap place to eat by any means. They did offer us a gift card, which was kind. With two mishaps in one evening, the server didn’t come back, it made a great day have a very bad ending. It is not a cheap place to eat by any means.
The Reserve BrightonResponded on May 23, 2025
Good Afternoon Sandra, I want to thank you for coming in and giving us a shot. I want to apologize about your experience that you had when you were here. Although we tried to do digging on the red hair on your steak and could not figure out where it came from but we will continue to ensure this does not happen to future guests. As for the dessert menu having a hair, the manager brought this to me and it was a thread on the binding sticking out that we burnt off so no one else received it. I again apologize about this experience and if you would like to call me to go further in detail, I would love to talk. Please call me at (810) 255-0317. Thank you again, Ryan Lucas General Manager
