“ Clicquot in the Snow was such a great experience located outside of Rail Stop. The atmosphere is a lodge in the slopes! Different for the Brighton area. Rail Stop has set this up very nicely with great food options and fantastic staff for the first evening to the public. The event is currently for this weekend to which they seem to have other events coming up. I love a very cold glass of the yellow label which was paired nicely with our appetizers. The ambience was definitely an après ski feel with great music. Offered an area to take group pictures with fur-like coats that make this experience even better! Worth the trip out to Brighton. I had reservations but walk-ins are welcomed as well. ”
“ There's other people have mentioned, the service was slow but steady. We didn't really mind. We were in no big hurry. We started off with the rib appetizer which was just barely enough for three guys who didn't want to spoil their appetite. The ribs are very tasty, but not very meaty. I also tried the clam chowder which was excellent. I would get it again. For dinner I had the harvest salad and I could only eat half of it. It's very large. And tasty. This restaurant looks very nice and the prices on food are reasonable. The drinks are pricey but that's normal for the city. My shot of screwball peanut butter whiskey on the rocks cost around $12 or something like that. But I guess that's how restaurants make the money these days. Our waitress very nice and The restaurant is good looking too boot. The parking situation isn't great, but I would go back. ”
“ 4.5 This place has a nice vibe. The cocktail list is yummy. Thank you Denise Patnod ”
“ Can you say SLAPALICIOUS???!! Honeeyyyyeeee that Eggs Benedict Hollandaise sauce was a symphony on my tongue! Oh and the Hibiscus Mimosa was the winner by FAR out of all that was on the Mimosa Tree. We made reservations for this past Sunday and noticed the table next to us had this beautiful Mimosa tree so we decided to do the same, you get four choices - Pineapple Juice, Pear, Strawberry Lemonade and Hibiscus were our selections. The Steak Tips and Eggs were scrumptious (as witnessed that the plate was clean) and the Belgian waffle hit the spot. Also the Acai bowl was enjoyed as well. Not a bad item did we have at our table. The bacon was a little over done but they replaced them as soon as we said something. Service was efficient and the ambiance here is so nice. Great spot for brunch! I will be back. I will say this stay away from the Pear Mimosa it didn't have any real flavor. Respectfully Reviewed. ”
“ A nice restaurant right by Brighton Landing stop. It can definitely be a great sports bar especially with the ice area so close by. I came here to celebrate a family dinner and was impressed with the food and service. We ordered a few appetizers to start the meal off and I got the scallops as my entree. They were cooked nicely and went well with the asparagus and mashed potatoes sides that we ordered to share. The place itself is quite big and also has outdoor patio seating for when the weather is nice out. Overall, great place to grab dinner at. ”
“ Went here for the first time tonight to celebrate with others we knew. The food came hot and ready to eat. The portion sizes were just right for each of us. The server and other staff were friendly and helpful with our needs during our entire meals. The place was well lit and we found where we needed to meet the others we joined with a little assistance. We felt comfortable and ready to join in all the conversation we shared with each other. Will definitely recommend this restaurant as a great place to get a bite to eat. ”
“ We were attending a concert at the Roadrunner, and Rail Stop is incredibly convenient across the street. We knew we were in for a long night, and Rail Stop prepped us with delicious, filling meals. The steak tips are a generous portion of tender meat with a delicious bourbon sauce. They are accompanied by a large amount of green beans and fluffy, whipped cheesy mashed potatoes. My son really enjoyed the burger, with their house tomato jam and bread and butter pickles. The interior is clean and attractive, and the seating is comfortable for slow paced, relaxing conversation. In the bar, music was playing from the artist performing across the street, which helped set a nice vibe for the night. ”
“ Great food. Great vibes. Great service. We were in the area for a track meet and wanted to grab a bite while visiting the New Balance outlet. What a great choice. We arrived at 2:25 and were told that we could still get brunch despite it ending at 2:30. Score! I split a mimosa flight with a friend and made my own omelette. The mimosa flight had a beautiful presentation, one that I would love to recreate. My create-your-own omelette was cooked to perfection with spinach and pepperjack cheese. The plate had a mound of really good potatoes that this carb-restrictive diet just could not allow. The omelette also came with a bread of your choice. Definitely check out this spot if you're in the area. ”
“ After reading all the reviews and seeing the less than impressive exterior, I wasn't sure what to expect at Rail Stop. But as I had just come from Warrior Ice Arena, the location was perfect. The interior is beautiful. Gorgeous light fixtures. It's clear that a lot of thought went into the design. The space feels more elevated than the price point would have you believe. I was greeted quickly by my server, and ordered the lobster roll and an old fashioned. The toast on the roll was perfect; more than enough lobster spilled from it. I ate every last bite, never touching the fries. If you're a connoisseur of old fashioneds, lace up your skates and get here. It was well balanced, served over a single cube of ice in a crystal rocks glass, and garnished with a lovely orange rose and dark cherry. My only regret? Living 3089 miles away. ”
