    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.

    Pizzas were okay, pretty small if you wanted to share. “Half chicken” was not typical half chicken, less meat than expected but it did taste good. Sides were odd and didn’t match the taste level of the mains. Unique interior but very dim lighting

    Our meal was delicious, per usual. The pomme frites are still the bomb. And the pizza is still awesome. I also got the cavatelli Di mare. It was very good. Our server was top notch. She was friendly, considerate, and on top of things. The food came out quickly and hot. Highly recommend!
