This was a fantastic choice, and everything was delicious and unique 😋. If you have trouble seeing in dark places, this is pretty dark at the rear tables and booths, but a lovely ambiance. If you have trouble hearing a conversation over music, it might be a little too loud. The service was excellent, and the drinks and food were truly wonderful!

Everything was a bit undercooked. The normally delicious fries were soft and the pizza was barely browned

Drinks and beer were great. My GF's Pappardelle was good my Bright Side Burger was, well, the worst burger I've ever had. I wasn't asked how I wanted cooked, and it was over cooked and WAY to salty, I would have rather paid $17 for a Big Boy or a Big Mac. I hope it was just a bad night for the cook. We have always liked Market Garden Brewery, and may give Brightside another chance.

This was my second visit to Bright Side. We chose this for a couple’s night out. We all enjoyed the food, but it is TOO LOUD. I’m not sure why the music needs to be blaring, but the poor server could barely speak loud enough for us to hear. I felt like I was yelling all night. Plus the music downstairs was vibrating our booth all night. I get we weren’t the demographic this place caters to, but I’m certain the 20 somethings want to hear each other speak too.

We loved the decor, the waffle croissant is very cool. Service fantastic! I would like more veggie option besides a pizza or salad for brunch.
