The restaurant itself is bright, colorful, clean, and really well designed. I loved the clever bench seating, the bar was well stocked, and there's outdoor seating plus an upstairs area that looked really cool. They also have a walk-up taco window outside, which is a fun idea. We sat in the bar area, and the service was amazing. Everyone was friendly and attentive. The food, though, was really underwhelming. Almost everything we tried lacked seasoning and flavor. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, which had very little chicken and were pretty bland. I did like the very thinly sliced jalapeños on top. The rice was nice and fluffy but didn't have much flavor, and they serve black beans, which just aren't my preference with Mexican food. The house-made salsa was surprisingly sweet, and I was disappointed that the chips didn't seem house-made. If I'm going out for Mexican food, fresh chips are one of those little things I really look forward to. My husband ordered tacos at $6 each, which felt pretty steep considering we're used to excellent tacos in the $2-$3 range. His carne asada was cooked closer to medium rare, which wasn't what we expected at all from carne asada. The queso was another disappointment. It tasted very similar to Rico's cheese sauce you can buy at the grocery store. Overall, great service, great decor, very clean and a fun atmosphere, but the food just didn't match the setting or the reviews for us. At these prices, I expected a lot more flavor. Unfortunately, we left pretty disappointed.

The menu offers a lot of delicious options, and both my husband and our friend loved the Buttermilk Fried Chicken. I ordered the Salmon, which was okay. The Spanish Coffee was one of the best I've had. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment was how my food allergies were handled. I had included my dietary restrictions in our reservation and also called the restaurant the night before to make sure they could accommodate me. I was reassured after they checked with the kitchen that most items on the menu could be modified to work within my restrictions. Based on that conversation, I felt comfortable keeping our reservation. Since we were dining with others for a birthday celebration, I had hoped the information from my reservation and phone call would have been communicated to our server so I wouldn't need to go through all of my restrictions again at the table. Instead, I had to explain everything during dinner. Because the restaurant is extremely loud and the tables are packed closely together, our server had to stand across the table from me, which meant having to discuss my allergies loudly in front of our entire party and the surrounding tables. It was an uncomfortable and awkward situation. What was most frustrating, however, was then being told that my options were essentially limited to a protein and green beans. This was a far cry from what I had been told the night before that the kitchen could modify most items on the menu to accommodate me. I completely understand that not every restaurant can accommodate every allergy or dietary restriction, and I don't expect them to. My concern is that I specifically called ahead for this reason and relied on the information I was given. Had I been told beforehand that my options would be so limited, we simply would have chosen another restaurant where I could enjoy a nice meal along with everyone else for my husband's birthday. For anyone dining with significant food allergies or restrictions, I would recommend getting very specific information about what can actually be accommodated before making a reservation.

All the staff we met were nice, attentive and they know their menu very well. However, the nicest restaurant still needs to make good food to bring you back.

Unfortunately the pasta accompanying the chicken Parmesan was too cooked and the shrimp on butternut squash ravioli were oversalted; both of which threw the dishes off. Hopefully they will be able to make a few adjustments and have a really nice meal. The wine list deserves exploring.

I feel cottage inn pizza in Brighton has come some way. Before in the past I have ordered carry out from there and it was just ok. This week I heard new owners took it over so I figured I would check it out. Let me tell you, I ordered a inn club sub a small cheese pizza an order of bread and an order of cinnamon sticks. My sub was the best sub I have EVER had from any pizza place. The pizza and bread sticks just so good the kids ate it up. All food felt like it was definitely made with love! The cinnamon sticks just topped it all off with just the right amount of sweet. Keep up the good work.... read more

The pizza is delicious, the staff is great, and the lunch specials are a fantastic deal. I loved the crispy dough on the standard pizza - they were generous enough to give me a small cup of their pizza sauce so I could use it as a dipper and treat my crusts like breadsticks. I really want to come back after work when it would be appropriate to hang out a bit longer and have a beer, because I like the vibe - I'll try to find time to do that soon and report back. I also want to try their thin crust and deep dish pizzas, because if the standard was delicious, I bet they're doing excellent work on the other two styles. And there are sandwiches and wings for me to try eventually as well. In the meantime, I can vouch that you'll likely be delighted as I was if you stop in for a slice and a drink, or for a medium 1-topping pizza, or one of their other lunch specials.
