Stonefire Bistro (Brighton, MI)

My wife and I stopped in at Stonefire on a recent Friday night at about 6:15pm. The sun was still blazing and it was 80 degrees, so we really wanted to sit somewhere outside and have a drink. We grabbed a table outside, and had a couple beers, a soup and a salad. Our table provided a nice view of Main Street, and we were entertained w/ the train lights malfunctioning and stopping traffic every three minutes. There are also outdoor speakers, and the music was at a great level, and playing good music - contemporary, some older rock, just a good upbeat mix.

The service was very good. The clam chowder was advertised as being "peppery", and it was. The chowder was good, flavorful, filling, etc - but it was more soup than chowder. My wife had a simple garden salad, and was really happy w/ the crisp vegetables. All in all it was a good experience at Stonefire. Good simple food, cold beers, sunny night, good people watching, music, and good service.
