The food and the service is always amazing. I just wish they would clean more. The windows, window sills, and definitely the curtains need so much attention.

I rarely rate things 5 stars, but this visit certainly was. The drinks were heavy pours, the service was perfect. There when we needed it and never overbearing. The food was amazing, from the very first bite to the best Creme Brulé I have ever had. A note - I requested a "Pittsburgh" (Heavy sear in cast iron, red inside) T-bone which is always a crapshoot, but this one was perfect. The best Pittsburgh I've ever had. The chicken was so good as well. The textures of the food were out of this world. This was our first trip to Briarhurst and it was so great we'll definitely be back. Total bill for 2 5-course meals and 3 alcoholic drinks was about $180, I ordered one of the most expensive meals there and one of my drinks was a double so take off quite a bit for drinks and you can have a budget friendly fine dining experience. support our local legends.

This place is a shell of its former self. I communicated via Facebook some ideas for improvement, and was blocked. They can't even spell the name of their own restaurant correctly on the menu. The food looks horrible and they lie claiming their facebook was hacked. Whoever is running the Facebook page needs to be replaced. I tried offering private advice instead of ridiculing them in public, and instead was blocked. Sad. This was a fantastic restaurant 10 years ago, but the public image on Facebook leaves much to be desired. Seems to be run by children. I had my wedding at this restaurant back when it was good in 2015. I wouldn't waste my money here now based on the ineptitude of social media and poor response to my criticism. It's interesting how this business posts on their page constantly asking customers for advice on how to run their business, but when you tell them the truth, they can't handle it and block you. Amateur hour. To the owner: Do Briarhurst Manor's reputation a favor and sell your business. You do not deserve it.

Had to wait for our menu's, which turned out to be a W2 form on the back side, rather than an actual menu. Had to wait on our water sand our drinks. Hostes needed to be friendlier and much more engaged.

The pictures are a bit misleading. The place is almost like a haunted mansion. Very old with wall paper peeling and ripped carpet. Staff was friendly. Parking was in a mud pit for a lot. I would check their site before booking.

went there for my wife's birthday and we were delighted. The food was excellent and the ambiance was charming. My wife said that her martini was the best she had ever had. The only issue was that the place was mostly emptyso let's get the wod out. The Briarhurst iis open and the food is great.

Good food, great old building but the service wasn't bad but not great. We were two of only 5 people dining tonight but the waitress wasn't really attentive.

This place is fantastic. Our server Orlena was excellent and the food was phenomenal. I had the Beef bourguignon and my wife had the Chilean sea bass. We both got the 5 course meal and it was worth it. The bread was so good and it comes with house made butter and pesto. All the food was some of the best I’ve ever had and I’m no stranger to fine dining. Highly recommended.On balance, I have two criticisms: the property is very dark outside at night - could use more lighting. Also hard to find the driveway. Would help if the sign was illuminated. And inside the dining area was a little chilly.Parking: Parking is fine. Just needs more light.

I went to an event at Briarhurst and found it lacked cleanliness and the food and staff were rude. There were too many things wrong to list them in this space. I would not have an event here if they gave me the space for free.

We were greeted promptly and seated at a wonderful table with a view. We both decided on the five course meal and placed our order. We then found out several minutes later that the sea bass was not available. The chef recommended we choose between salmon, trout and cod which he would prepare in the same manner as he would for the sea bass. My husband got the trout and I chose the salmon. Wow! They were both amazing! The shrimp appetizer served with sweet chilli sauce was truly delish and I would have been happy with having a few more and calling it my entree. Our server Becky was friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed the jazz music that played throughout the meal.

The fillet mignon was cooked to perfection. All the food was very good except my husband ordered the swordfish and it was overcooked. Otherwise it's a beautiful restaurant. The signage could be better as both our Lyft drivers had a hard time finding it.
