   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.

   People's Kitchen is one of our favorite spots! I love the artsy relaxed vibe, the specialty crafted cocktails, and the creative menu. We shared appetizers and a salad and left room for an amazing goat cheesecake. Fantastic!

   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.

    I did write a detailed review of our experience but then the screen froze and wouldnt let me go back when I opened the note to diner button. So here is the condensed version. Bologna on mad hatter was not good. Meals, steak didnt taste right thought it was the sauce but he got sick on the way home. Both meals were very under seasoned. I was going to bring a meal home but decided no. The cheesecake was great. Great vibe. We drove 1-1/2 hours to try this restaurant out and were disappointed.

    Another great meal at Peoples kitchen . The atmosphere is lively but a bit loud . The staff is great & mostly attentive - they get busy but there is always someone walking by . A reservation is must ! Gnocchi , salmon , shank & of course the mad platter to start. The orange tart was fine - but we have had key lime there which is amazing.

    Had been wanting to try the People’s Kitchen for a couple years when the pandemic happened. We finally had the opportunity to dine in. Our reservations were initially for a part of 5, then grew to 7, then to 10. They accommodated us on short notice. The food was everything we expected- meaning great! The service was excellent. Great experience and am hoping to go back soon

    I was very disappointed with the lack of menu items available at 3PM on new year's eve (2021) even though I specifically asked and was assured over the phone, when I confirmed my reservation, that the lunch menu would have all items available even when when it was the last reservation before the New Years eve especial dinner. There were only two sandwiches available and only one appetizer. The chicken sandwich was fine but the hamburgers were not. The pear salad ended being made of apple! The waiter did not warn me when I order it that they had ran out of pears. I brought my two sons and their girlfriends after raving about this new restaurant that I had tried earlier in December. It was disappointing. Listen, I understand the unique circumstance of the restaurant preparing for the BIG New Year's evening. BUT, there is no excuse to shortchange customers like this. We should have at least giving a discount or a small token (free desert?) for the disappointment experience. Nice place but customer service on that particular day was horrible.

    Food portions are SMALL. Vegan options are LIMITED. I started coming here because of all the vegan options, but everything I liked has been take off the menu and there are fewer options each time I come. If there is nothing for me, I likely will not come back often.
