“more to my origional comment........ french frys say smothered in gravey.... didn't come that was as there was just a small amount of gravey with a large amount of mayo in the middle....... french frys were cold ....“

“Drinks were excellent/delicious with names appropriate to bar’s theme (and also with Halloween). Needs more non-sweet small food selections. The spinach pie is good but would be better if heated for 20 secs. Cannoli is good but doesn’t go with some alcoholic drinks. Overall — bravo on creating a good place to go for drinks!“

“Yes very fun atmosphere nice bar nice wings“

“My husband and I went to Shift yesterday for dinner and it was fantastic. Scott and Matt provided great service. Everything we ordered was fantastic. I got 2 drinks (the color red and the espresso martini) and had the shift fries and lamb lollipops. My husband also ordered the filet tips and lamb lollipops. It was all excellent. We also happened to come during happy hour and they had live music. We will definitely be back for more.“

“If you want an amazing Detroit style pizza, look no further than this place. We tried a couple of different pizzas and also an order of the Teader Chips. Everything was perfection. The service was great. They just need a liquor license.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian pizza options and they offer Beyond Beef as a topping.“

“Warm and friendly atmosphere with the Motown sounds flowing along with notes of rhythm and blues on a Saturday night. The kitchen is open for fried chicken and fish which you can savor on the patio or at a table. This bar is pulsing with excitement on Friday night; standing room only and parking gets expired around 11. It's small in size but big on entertainment. Cash bar of course.“

“Love The Oakland - just a great, dark cozy cocktail lounge with good music. I had the Green Badu this time, and it was just perfect. They also have a nice list of n/a drinks - the B Nektar SOber cider was so delicious and sugar free! Rare in a mocktail. Service is excellent, and it's a great stop before or after dinner, or as a break while holiday shopping.“

“Great lunch, great food, great atmosphere!“

“Went to FrameBar yesterday for the BirriaBar pop-up with chef Eddie Vargas. Food was excellent and a great value for the amount of food at the price point. I loved that the chef was making the rounds in the dining room to ensure every customer was satisfied. The birria platter and quesabirria were both great, as well as the salsas, queso, and aguacates. Lastly, the bar had good Mexican-inspired drink options, with the smoked Oaxacan old fashioned being my favorite for both taste and presentation. Great work all around.“

“Stopped by after hiking. We ordered smash burger and stuff pepper soup and the French onion soup- grilled cheese combo. Everything was delicious.“

“Really nice dining experience“

“Outstanding food and service! We enjoyed Happy Hour and the bubbly drinks were spot on!

“Bday dinner party, I had the fried chicken, greens, amd mac/cheese.“

“We held our private event in the enclosed patio at Firebird in Troy. The patio was heated and decorated to look like a lodge. All of our guests felt like they were in a homey environment. The food and the service was impeccable. Our guests were so pleased at the attention to detail and the promptness of the serving staff. The event manager, Jenna, made the entire planning process easy and stress free. She helped us set up our buffet menu and was there day of assisting in decorating and making sure everything was in order. I would highly recommend hosting a private event here and plan to do so myself for future events!“

“Barrel House has become our go-to place to hang out and eat. Their food is delicious, the drinks are great, and the staff are all amazing!“

“Orange Peel Theory is hands-down one of the best summer drinks I’ve ever had. The blend of Holiday Spirit Epsilon Tequila with coconut, orange, and citrus is insanely smooth, refreshing, and just the right balance of tropical and tangy. It’s like a beach vacation in a glass. I’d serve this at every campsite, tailgate, and backyard hang if I could—absolute 10/10!“

“Great service ………………..“

“A fukkin fantastic bar with a great staff. I LOVE the classic movies playing constantly and only wish you had more t-shirts available. Anytime I'm in Detroit I find a reason to stop by.“

“About to be my to go to spot. Great burger, Marquita's, staff outstanding. Very clean and cute. Patio is a bonus. Love this little gem.❤️“

“We were instantly greeted and seated. Our server Robby was awesome. The entire staff was friendly. Chef Johnny is very talented and friendly. I love that he greets all guest and will even bring your food out himself. For starters we had the shrimp and crab cakes. They were crispy on the outside and melted in your mouth. The surprise with these was that there was whole shrimp inside. We loved it. The sauce on top was just the right amount. The salmon with saffron rice, coconut curry sauce and green apple slaw was the best salmon I've had in a while. The pairing was new for me but it worked. The salmon was juicy and perfectly cooked. When paired with everything on my plate it was like fireworks. Everything popped and was amazing. My husband had the beef strudel. Now he was thinking it was gonna be like a beef wellington but no. When he put his fork into the perfectly crispy flaky crust and into the most tender beef either of us have ever had, OMG. With the first bite all he could do was say "WOW"(sorry about how loud he was). The flavors of that plate were incredible. The blueberry cheesecake was the icing on the cake. It was perfect. Sweet but not too sweet and the smear of lemon sauce on the side elevated the flavors. The drinks. I had the rainforest and my husband had the Johnny Manhattan. When we saw how small the glasses were we were definitely worried. That feeling quickly faded with the first sip. The drinks may be small but they are strong and delicious. We had to pace ourselves with those. Overall, I give this place a 10/10 and will definitely be back again soon. Thank you to everyone there for a great time and for great service.“

“If you are looking for a chill vibe with excellent drinks, come to Traverse City Whiskey Outpost in Ferndale! The manager, Dave is the best - he's friendly, attentive, and a true mixologist! I love it here :)“

“Phenomenal bourbon selection“

“The perfect, laid back place to enjoy amazing food and delicious cocktails! I am obsessed with the pineapple mule, the make their own infused pineapple vodka. The live jazz on Thursdays is the perfect reason to make this a weekly visit!“

“The cocktails were very good and unique. Not the basic old fashioned with a fancy name slapped on it. These cocktails seemed much more creative. Speakeasy, cozy vibes.

Parking: Free parking on site with mobile security in the gated lot.“

“Listen. Y’all gotta see it to believe it. Great venue, BLACK OWNED AND OPERATED! Come to the burbs and get a one of a kind experience. ✨ Shoutout to Courtney!“

“Great drinks and night scene. Had a lot of fun their last night.“

“My experience at condado was great , the food the vibe and my bartender Katie was on point with everything.“

“they give you an ungodly amount of food at the hibachi table, and they also force a 20% tip which i never agree with businesses doing that. the food was good, but not worth over 100$ for 2 people when half the plate is just rice and noodles. that said, it's still a great choice for a one-time experience.“

“Great meal! Great service! Lisa & team were awesome!“

“Let me just say I didn't actually go in but I placed a special order over the phone. I spoke with Adrienne and it was a great experience. She did a wonderful job, I will absolutely be going in person now.“

“Delicious! Make your own salad was wonderful with lots of good ingredients.“

“Great service and food!👍🏻🍻“

“Dude. We went here last night…AMAZING. Food was great. Drinks were great. Music was A VIBE. I feel bad I don’t remember the server’s name who was outside on the patio, but genuinely some of the best service I’ve ever had, and I worked in the industry for 10+ years. He made great recommendations, was running his butt off, and just overall did a great job. You guys keep doing exactly what you’re doing. We’ll definitely be back!!“

“top notch entertainment and world class drinks“

“I was there tonight and it was turnt! Whoever the dj was i hope he there every Saturday it was a young cat he did his thing on the 1’s & 2’s. The drinks were fire too shout out to the ladies behind the bar!! Keep it up encore ill be back next week.“

“Our server, Diane, has been with NM for years and always is very attentive and helpful! Love the food and details this restaurant offers. It is like being at a high end hotel, but reasonable. Tablecloths and fabric napkins. The demitasse cups of consommé and house made popovers with strawberry butter are an amazing beginning! I ordered a Maurice salad with the best dressing, served on the side. The variety in the large menu offers salmon, chicken, tacos and much more....elegantly served. Several desserts offered too, though we did not want dessert. Loved my cappuccino too! Highly recommend this hidden away spot on the top floor of Neiman Marcus. Full bar.“

“We had our Detroit wedding reception here in the private event space in the back. We could not have been more pleased with our experience! Heather, the manager, was attentive and professional from the initial meeting about renting the space, all of the planning and throughout the event. All of the staff were so fun and kind! They kept everything organized and the drinks flowing during the reception. We had a wonderful experience here and we are so glad we chose this as our venue! We can’t wait to come back on our next visit just to enjoy the dope atmosphere and great drinks! Thanks Heather and team for everything!
