Ribeye
Christina D.

We came from out-of-town and saw the great reviews for this chain restaurant, but we were disappointed at the quality of the food and the high prices. It was oddly empty on a Friday night. The ambiance is that of a nice steakhouse. It is beautifully decorated in warm-colored woods. The servers gave the impression that none of them wanted to be there. The Spinach Dip we ordered was difficult to eat, as there was a half-inch thick layer of cheese covering the whole thing, which the chips were unable to penetrate. When using spoons instead, the cheese just kept pulling and would not let up. Essentially, there was an absurd amount of cheese. The dip itself tasted fine. Hubby and I ordered the ribeyes, which were ok, not very memorable. Having never been there before, it seems like this restaurant was very successful a long time ago, but has gone downhill since. If they would QC the food and find servers that care about being there it could be saved.

Finally came to this place after being told how great their food was. If you're driving south, it comes up out of nowhere and sits a tiny bit back from the road behind a line of trees. You'll miss it if you're not looking for it. Came here on a Sunday evening around 5-530pm. We got lucky with snagging 2 seats at the bar. It was otherwise a 40 minute wait for a table. Parking lot is pretty big also so you shouldn't have any issues finding a spot. We very pleased with the immediate assistance of the bar staff. A young man was training and the bartender stepped away for a moment so he got us waters and a food menu. I appreciate him doing something for us rather than just letting us sit and wonder (which has happened to us elsewhere). Once the bartender came back, the drinks were flowing. Food & Beverage: Requested a coffee drink but was stumped when he said he could make one. He suggested a millionaires coffee and I signed up for deliciousness. The husband had a rum & coke with a nice looking ratio (if you drink this, you know what I'm talking about). After that, I stuck to wine. They have a great wine list and a full bar. They also had a list of specialty cocktails. Menu was fantastic with prices that illustrate the quality of food you're about to eat. Highly recommend any of their steaks. Salads (we had a Michigan and a Caesar) were amazing. Classic Calamari and Brussel sprouts were a delight to start with. Attire: may want to go more on the dressy-casual side rather than casual-casual. I wore a white sundress and fit right in. Hubby wore a plain dark blue tshirt and gray golf shirts. You don't need to be dressed-to-the-nines but don't look like a hobo. Wait staff: very attentive but not overbearing. Had great recommendations and we never waited long for our food.

First time checking out Captain Joe's and overall was a good experience. Greeted quickly and warmly…read moreat the door and sat quickly. Sat outside and enjoyed the live music. The ambiance was not as fun as I would have expected but of course the crowd determines that. Took some time to get greeted, drinks, and (complimentary which is a nice touch) bread and butter. Good news bad news that because that took some time our dinners came out almost immediately afterward. The Michigan Salad was good but overpriced at $18 especially when that doesn't include chicken. Asked my husband if it was as good as the last one he had at a neighborhood grill and the answer was no. So 3 stars there. 3 stars also for the chicken picatta. Chicken piccata is my favorite dinner dish so I've had it at quite a few places. This one just didn't have much flavor. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the asparagus was great, but the piccata sauce just wasn't it. Neither were the mashed potatoes. Good portion and overall good dish, just doesn't compare in flavor to other restaurants. The owner (I assume) came by every time to ask how things were which is always very much appreciated. The live music was great, patio beautiful. Inside which we saw on our way out looked much livelier with sports on. We'll definitely go back and sit inside to enjoy a game! As we left we were thanked for coming by two different people at the door. It's always fantastic when this happens.....when you feel like your patronage is appreciated you'll go back again and again. :)

There is so much to look at in here and I love the big open dining room. They do live music Wednesday - Saturday from 7-10 pm and have a beautiful outdoor patio. I got the pork tenderloin dinner which was served with mashed potatoes and green beans. My daughter got the Cajun Alfredo and was able to substitute regular grilled chicken to suit her palate. Everything was delicious and came out quickly. I will definitely come back again .

AWESOME ! Service over and above what might normally be expected!…read more On April 20 while visiting daughter and grandkids in Brighton, my husband and I wanted to take everyone (daughter, boyfriend, grandson, grandson's girlfriend, granddaughter) out for a nice dinner. We were a little hesitant about finding a restaurant as grandson just started going through the process of determining food sensitivities. My daughter called ahead to check about gluten-free options on the menu as the list of what he can and cannot eat is very limiting at this time and he is still figuring things out which can be rough for a high school senior. We were seated promptly in the front window area and Shannon S. was our server. Now I don't know if Shannon was told to expect us, but she hit the ball out of the proverbial park. Not only did she suggest side options for grandson, but when questions about ingredients were asked that she couldn't answer she went to the kitchen to presumably ask chef--but she came back to the table with answers AND a binder containing all the ingredients for each menu item (no, sorry that has garlic as a seasoning; no sorry that has a sauce with onions; no sorry that has cheese). In the end, grandson was able to choose with confidence side dishes in place of the standard menu options so that his meal wouldn't mess with his digestive system--he became more of an active participant in deciding his dinner--and that his meal was one he really, really, really enjoyed. He was surprised that a restaurant would go to those lengths to help a customer. Brighton Bar and Grill was a favorite spot when husband and I lived in Howell years ago and will definitely come back to the high service and quality food we experienced on this visit.

From the outside, the building doesn't exactly scream "5-star seafood" -- I think it may have been an old Pizza Hut -- but don't let that fool you. Inside, it's cute, a little kitschy, and most importantly, clean!! There wasn't any type of fishy smell at all! The husband-and-wife owners are absolutely working their tails off, and it shows. The service was warm, attentive, and truly top-notch. You can feel how much pride they take in what they do. We each ordered crab boils and didn't leave a single thing in the bag -- every bite was incredible! Some of the most delicious seafood I've ever had. I almost hesitate to share this hidden gem because I selfishly want it all to myself, but they deserve every bit of recognition. We can't wait to go back and are definitely adding this spot into our regular restaurant rotation!

This review is very close to a five star one for me, but there is one aspect that makes it four…read morestars. My husband and I went here today for the first time, to celebrate my birthday, which was a few weeks ago. Our waiter was Mark, and he was very good and attentive. I started with their Strawberry Fields cocktail, one of the seasonal ones, and my husband had the Old Fashioned - we enjoyed both. For our appetizer, we ordered the beef tallow candle... I had had a similar appetizer at Frame in Oak Park a while back, which has now closed, and it was good. I didn't like this one quite as much, but it was still good, and also came with some butter. I had the 8 ounce petite filet and unfortunately this is where I was disappointed - which is especially disappointing because this place is a steakhouse. I thought it was nice and tender, but didn't have much taste. The zip sauce provided with it was very good with it, but I always say that the mark of a good steak is if it doesn't need any sauces to go with it. My husband got the 16 ounce New York strip, and I felt the same way about that steak as well. That being said, we got the Potatoes Romanoff and the Brussels sprouts for our sides and those were both excellent. I would order both again, but the rest of their sides also looked good so I would maybe try something else. The Reserve also excels at customer service. They gave me a really nice candle as a birthday gift, and a card signed by the staff. They also brought out a rather large birthday sundae on the house, with fruit in it, and I was impressed by both of these things... I have never been to a restaurant where they give you a full-size candle for your birthday, as well as dessert! Because of this, I didn't get to see the full dessert menu, but the guests at the table next to us were eyeing the crème brûlée, it seemed. Based on this experience, I would come back here, but I would maybe get different steak or an accompaniment for it - they had seasoned butter add-ons and others, too. Overall, however, it was a very nice night out.
