Much improved food. Still no prices on the menus for many items. $11 for a child’s smoothie drink is a bit much. I shouldn’t have to ask what the cost is for drink items, especially when the advertising is directed at children.

Nice place to go for a good dinner. Food was good and service was as expected. They have a good variety of appetizers on the menu along with burgers but nothing outstanding. I tried the Michigan salad with salmon and the fish was dry and overcooked. Burgers were delicious. I like that islets not over priced as some places downtown. The vibe is casual and comfortable. Will definitely go back.
