   Excellent New Years Eve meal with my Bride. Our server, Will, was great. Hostess was friendly and accommodating. We've been here many times and will continue to do so.

   This is our second year we have done a family holiday dinner here. Food and service are good. I suggest not having so many tables- It was very cramped. With that said, we will be back

   Parking was terrible; we needed to walk a couple blocks in the rain. The food was excellent, as usual. The service was excellent. as usual. What was not acceptable was the noise level. The din made it impossible to converse during dinner. Customers were shouting to be heard, servers were shouting to be heard, and an enjoyable dining experience was impossible. In the past we had always eaten outside during warm weather. Last night was a typical December in Michigan evening so eating outside was impossible. We eat here a lot, even though we live an hour away. It is our go-to restaurant for celebrations. We will enjoy Bourbons in the warmer months.

   I absolutely love this restaurant. Never had a bad meal here have brought multiple friends and family members and they've never had a bad meal either. Drinks are great, staff is attentive. Definitely an energetic place so not a great spot for a quiet meeting but great for pretty much everything else. Do yourself a favor and make an OpenTable reservation to beat the wait time. They're usually very good with seating you at or close to your reservation time, even with a crowd of people. 10/10!

   Great place, all four of us loved our dinners as well as appetizers. Great cocktails too. Try the shrimp and grits.

   Our waiter was great. He gave us exceptional service in a very, tight, crowded restaurant. Our table was okay- a weird compliant - but I had to sit on a cushion which was actually the juncture of two cushions at a small table for two, couldn’t go either direction due to people on both sides of us, when the guy got up on my left - that cushion went up, heavier lady to the left it went down- this seat was not very comfortable for a thinner person, maybe push the small table to the left or right to make a table for six or four. Even tried sitting on my coat. The food was good. Could have been warmer, but good timing of the appetizer to main entrees. The atmosphere seemed chaotic and rushed - we were in and out in 45 minutes. We have come here on non- holidays and it was much more relaxed- so will assume it was just the holiday.

   Bourbons is upscale casual with a cool vibe and a great location right downtown Brighton. The food is consistently good. My favorite is the Southern Crispy Salad with their buttermilk fried checken - delicious! Husband says the ribs are very good. The only negatives are, it's very crowded and the noise level is really bad. Husband and I were wedged in a table for two with really close tables on each side. It was hard to have a conversation and we could hear everyone around us easier than each other. Go for the food (it's worth it) but just know it's going to be crowded and noisy!

    Experience and food was below average for overpriced breakfast. Will not be back for breakfast. My daughter could barely eat one of the breakfast “specials” which looked terrible and while I would have liked to send it back she insisted on me not bringing it up even though she maybe ate 3 bites. Nonetheless, not even a “how was your food” or “did you not like the dish?” from the server. If you’re going to try be an upscale brunch place and charge upscale prices, act like it by having upscale food and service. The other 3 meals were not much better. Croissant sandwich was soggy. The other 2 meals were decent.
