   Delicious food, fun atmosphere, very good service, but the portions are much too small for the prices charged. This last fact will likely cause us to not go back which is unfortunate.

   Everything was wonderful, except WAY too loud. The kind of place you want to sit and have lovely conversations, but have to shout at each other. Would recommend acoustic baffles in the ceiling, and turning down the volume. Otherwise, it was a great experience, and we’ll definitely be returning!

   Very cool space but the food was a bit underwhelming for the price (dinner menu). Really expensive for lansing.

   As always, we had a wonderful dinner and exceptional service. I chose the veal special and my husband had the sea bass special. Drinks were spot on and delicious. Our favorite date night place.

   My new favorite find in East Lansing! It is a very eclectic ambience with a touch of charm, delicious food and attentive service. It is difficult to find interesting restaurants in this area that are not “chains” or bar environments. Peoples Kitchen is an overall great spot !!

   I love this restaurant and have dined here many times. First time ordering a salad. we both ordered different dinner salads and both were VERY small. $14.95 should be larger than a side salad spread out on a large plate. Very disappointed.

    The service was friendly and timely. The food was good but overpriced. For what I paid it should have been more of an experience in terms of both food and service.

    Absolutely great food! Definitely with an eye toward clients who care about quality gourmet food that they might not prepare at home. Service was generally fine, except there could be more attention to timing of appetizers and entrees; hold up entree prep if patrons are slow on their appetizers.

    We were very happy with the food and service. The presentation and flavors of the dishes we had were amazing! The only complaint we had would be the portion size of a couple of the dishes in comparison to the prices. I would have expected more than 3 scallops or at least some roasted root veggies to add some substance. My son got the chicken which was delicious but again we had to order him a pizza when we got back to our hotel. We also had an appetizer and salad beforehand. Overall the service, food tastes and drinks were amazing.

    It’s hit or miss depending on the food. We’ve had fabulous meals, usually when they have a special available, and other times the food is just so-so.

    The server had no sense of urgency. We waited a long time for everything and it wasn’t very busy while we were there. our server appeared to have only 2 tables. Honestly, I don’t mind slow dinner service but keep the drinks flowing. The food was exceptional. 5 stars to the chef!

    We ordered the scallops, salmon and the crab cakes. Scallops are listed as an entree, but I recommend that you order them as an app. They are so delicious and cooked perfectly (which is hard to find). The salmon had this crispy skin that took it from being a good piece of salmon to a ridiculously good piece of salmon. The crab cakes were also wonderful. My only critique here is that they are very small and you will definitely want more than just the two on the plate. My husband loves this place and recommends it all over town. Closest to a Chicago vibe in Lansing.

    Food is superb and imaginative. The wine list does not support this level of cuisine. It needs to be more robust with a variety of price points.

    The food was great! The kitchen was a bit slow, but wait service was excellent. The noise level was quite high, more than just festive. They should invest in wall hangings or some sort of strategy for dampening noise levels a bit. There was a $25 corkage fee. The wine list should be stronger, if they charge $25 for corkage. The bar drinks were high quality and creative.

    We had the steak (impeccable) and a few cocktails. Ginn-amon for the win! Wonderful waitstaff and friendly environment every time. The food is exciting and always amazing. Only detractor for the ambiance is how cold the place is every time I’ve been. Also the cocktails, while tasty, are small and costly which is the reason for the four stars on the value.
