    Our experience was great! We sat at the bar where the bartenders were attentive and friendly - both of them! Also the Operations manager was so kind and helpful with an unusual request. The aesthetics and ambiance were perfect for a sunny afternoon early dinner in Detroit.

    Phenomenal experience. Warmly greeted and sat on time. Given Happy Anniversary menus and a card signed by the staff, along with a complimentary glass of bubbly. Attentive and friendly staff. No pretense here! I can tell the staff is in sync and the restaurant is well managed as I worked in several restaurants in my youth. Good cocktails! My husband and I shared all plates. Spring fever salad is a must have. Shrimp skewers were good but not great. Walleye was very good. Round out your meal with the best non-traditional tiramisu from their menu. Will definitely return next trip to Detroit.

    Hands down the best restaurant in Detroit! The food is thoughtfully prepared, the flavors are unique and varied, and the service is exceptional. The menu changes regularly as the chef sources fresh ingredients from Eastern Market, so there’s always a new dish to try. Their menu is built around shared small plates, which we love—just something to keep in mind. I live in Los Angeles and always look forward to coming back to this restaurant whenever I’m in town visiting family. I’ve yet to find a dish I haven’t loved!
