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.

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

Great meal but definitely on the expensive side at $700 for 4 of us with no drinks other than iced tea. I’ll go back but only on special occasions.

Went here on Mothers Day for both mothers day and my birthday. Food took a long time Food arrived cold, and wrong meat temperature and missing item ordered . Remake took too long, other person in party finished their dinner alone. Very bummed, Though they tried to make it right, whole entire dinner and experience was ruined.
The Reserve BrightonResponded on May 15, 2025
Hi Andrea, I want to thank you for your review and apologize that your experience was less than perfect on mothers day. We strive to make every dish with perfection and seems like we fell short on this. As I am happy to hear that we tried making it right, I would like to still have you call me and I would like to see what I can do to get you to give us another try. Thank you again and look forward to hearing from you. Ryan Lucas General Manager (810)255-0317
