Small PlatesGreat Food!!!!This is a great little restaurant right across from the Detroit Opera House. We have been here a number of times and now it is our favorite place to eat when coming up from Toledo to see a show! We have had many of the items on the menu and everything is fabulous! We always have a hard time trying to narrow down our selections. Some of our favorites are the fish tacos, the sweet potato fries, and the to die for turkey burger sliders!! Go, go, go....you will not be disappointed!5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMPleasantly surprised withPleasantly surprised with both great food and service! Will definitely return.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat, well-priced menuWe had been here about a year ago and it was good then, but there seemed to be a new energy. The menu had so many choices that we couldn't decide what to get. So we made a reservation to go again!4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMOptimal portions before an EventOutstanding location for pre-Opera dining, just be sure to book well in advance of any event nights.
Food was consistently over-salted on this occasion; but we love the creativity and the changing selection. Server was a bit frazzled/distracted; we've received excellent service in the past and will definitely return.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMI really enjoyed the foodI really enjoyed the food and the location of the restaurant.

However the service staff attempted to be on top of things, but seemed overwhelmed with the crowd. My party of 4 were headed to the Opera House and the food was delayed. One person had to scarf down their dinner. Fortunately the manager was very kind and did not charge us for one dinners.3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMFun dinner before going to a show!!Dinner here was very enjoyable!

I'd go back.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMLOVE Small Plates. This isLOVE Small Plates. This is our go-to choice anytime we're downtown. Food is always excellent; chef is very accommodating for those with food allergies. If there is an event downtown at the Opera House, gotta have reservations; otherwise, we have not had a problem during the week without a reservation.3/14/2013 12:00:00 AMbeen there many times andbeen there many times and it never disappoints. were able to accommodate our ever increasing reservation number too, which was lovely.3/12/2013 12:00:00 AMEnjoyed our visit/meal!We stopped in for dinner before a performance at the Detroit Opera House. Had never been there before and were very pleased. We both ordered two small plates and that was more than adequate for our meal. On nights of performances it is suggested to make reservations as the place was packed and there was no seating for walk-ins for over an hour.3/5/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat service & good food--tryGreat service & good food--try the chicken & waffles, tasty!3/2/2013 12:00:00 AM
