I have been here many many times over the years and the service and business policies continue to be increasingly questionable since changing names from Ernesto's. We went during the week for dinner and the restaurant not terribly busy. The service was TERRIBLE! We waited FOREVER every step of the way. We ended up being there almost two hours on... More

My husband and I joined another couple last weekend for a nice dinner at The Courthouse Grille. First off the porch and ramp at their entrance is all patched and crumbling. Poor first impression for new visitors. Inside is cozy though they did a poor job of trying to update. I do love the crisp white table linens. Our server... More

This restaurant is build on a hill in Plymouth, Michigan over 80 years ago and was named Hillside inn. It was a country type restaurant with large fire place and great atmosphere that spicialized in wild game steaks back in the day. The new owners now call the restaurant the Courthouse because the city built a new courthouse right next... More

Had Easter dinner with my family. Lisa our server tried to make up for the refrigerator cold prime rib I was served by replacing it with a hot but overcooked fish. Also my wife ordered the fish broiled wo breading but it arrivesd with bread coating! Not acceptable since she cannot have gluten products. Other two dishes were just OK.... More

This restaurant provided a high quality experience at moderate prices. I remember this location being Ernesto's many years ago and haven't been there for probably 15 years or more. The menu is extensive and I chose chicken parmigiana along with side salad. The dinner rolls they served were huge, savory and very tasty. Our party of 6 people enjoyed steaks,... More

We visited Courthouse Grille last week and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We started with calamari which is the best I've ever had. I had prime rib whiand my beloved had the fish special, grilled escolar. Both were excellent. While they have a solid wine list, we opted for a special Trapici wine which is not on the regular list. It... More

I recently went here with my family, party of seven. I had not been there in a few years. The atmosphere was warm and cozy and a variety of seating arrangements available. We had a round table with a scenic window view that made it very enjoyable for my family to talk. The decor was very entertaining with the courthouse... More

Got a restaurant.com certificate. Not very busy on a Friday night at about 7PM. Place is a little outdated, but still nice. Didn't go into the bar area, so can't comment on that. Drinks were good. Bread and olive oil were also good. My wife ordered the Bistro Tenderloin & Shrimp which was good, but the sauce was a little... More

I've been to this restaurant numerous times and am always impressed with food - from the chicken to the pizza to the pasta! We've dined in with just my family and have also come for several events (showers and parties) and have always been pleased with the service. Love the courthouse movie theme and enjoy seeing all the pictures from... More
