Best restaurants near me in Brighton, NY

It was a day after valentine's day. The restaurant looked 70% full when we arrived. The server was cheerful and attentive, and the food was, as always, fantastic. I had ahi tuna tartar with beets salad. The tuna was fantastic - perfect balance of ingredients, and arugula created fabulous taste. The salad could have used a tad more vinegar but many people would have been ok. Espresso martini was great for the fun, casual atmosphere. Chef Pasquale was behind the counter, and that is always one way to hit the high note of always solid dining experience.

Service was excellent, food was excellent. Had a great experience

Trevor, the GM, checked on us multiple times throughout our dining experience. Meat variation was awesome, cooked to perfection, and the servers were very accommodating even given the fact it was Valentines Day and the busiest we have ever seen the location (probably 10th time here). Could not have made it any better, A++ experience! Never disappointed.

It had been a few years since we dined at Next Door, and we did not know what to expect. Needless-to-say our Valentine's dinner was absolutely fantastic. The service was amazing, including our waitress, Bethany who was super attentive and friendly, and the dining room manager, Sean, who was actively engaged overseeing and helping the wait staff. Even the bus girl topped off my waterglass no fewer than 5 times. The food was superb - and we especially enjoyed the featured Australian Wagyu steak, along with the grilled bronzini. The chocolate toffee lava cake was to die for, and a perfect end to our Valentine's meal. The live entertainment (guitar/vocal) really added to the atmosphere. Bravo Next Door!

Everything was great except hostess when checking in was extremely rude. Should not be working there. She upset us to point we almost walked out. Rest of experience was great.
