Incredible meal, service and ambiance for a date night! The bar seating was comfortable and added to the overall experience. The Peruvian Potatoes and Bife (NY Strip) were delicious and we can't wait to come back!

The food was amazing and our server was helpful in selecting food options. I would say that it is overpriced for the entrees but the quality exceptional. My steaks were cooked to perfection, but I was expecting a bigger portion.

Everything is top notch - service, ambiance, and food. Great night out. We especially liked the bife and baked Alaska.

Seated immediately. Complimentary coat check upon entering. Bartenders friendly and helpful. Drinks were amazing. Food came out very quickly and is always consistently very good. Amazing ambience. Husband and I's favorite restaurant in the metro Detroit area. Parking is tricky.

Everything was fantastic!! Great choice for a special night out. Our food was prepared perfectly and was absolutely delicious. Service is top notch as well.

The parking is the only complaint. Being that there is basically none, weather is bad and area streets are icy and snow covered. But the menu was fantastic. Personal favorite was the burrata and roasted pears, delicious and you want to scoop up every last bit of the dressing. Potatoes with the Peruvian sauce, chorizo, fennel salad, yum. Entree was Castilla - on-bone short ribs, two which was enough for two people. The meat was tender and flavorful with a relish topping and maldon salt for sprinkling. Delicious. We shared a flan, and they made me an americano...perfect bite to end the meal. We were at the bar, they were attentive and the environment welcoming & cozy with the wood fire cooking oven nearby. Definitely a special occasion restaurant, with 3 drinks (wine & two old fashioneds) and tip $300.

Excellent dinner! Loved the beets (had leftovers for lunch yesterday). Beautiful New York strip steak. Would go back any time.

This restaurant was awesome! The interior design which places the bar as the focal point was intimate and inclusive. The food was really spectacular as well. Capped off my an excellent staff!

TLDR: we won't be back, but I would recommend as a lovely place for cocktails. There is a cool adjoining park with a fire pit and patio lights and the interior is really unique and not too loud; perfect for a date night. We tried 3 cocktails and loved all of them. Peruvian potatoes were also tasty, though cold by the time we ate them. Reason being... the server told us to order everything up front and assured it would be sent out in courses. We specified that we wanted to share each thing we ordered. First came the charred Caesar; small but tasty. Second came both entrees (trout and beef short ribs) and the side of potatoes all at once. Given that we were splitting these, the fish should have come by itself, followed by the beef and potatoes as a third course. The fish was nicely prepared, at least. The ribs were where we lost it. First, they served the salt on the side, which was odd, because there are only a few meaty bites on a rib anyway, and it wasn't until the third bite that I got the balance right. Second, they lacked overall flavor. The "pepper-coriander crust" was undetectable and there wasn't enough salsa to make much impact. If you have ever cooked on a charcoal or wood fire, you can achieve the same flavor. Finally, the price ($76) was insulting for such a dish. I'm sure other things on the menu are good, but PLEASE save your money and skip this one!

Hands down. An absolute amazing dining experience. The flavors were on all our dishes were outstanding. Service was impeccable. Ambiance so cool. A perfect way to celebrate a birthday

DERRICK

Loved the overall vibe! Music was sexy, sassy; just right for the vibe. Service impeccable, timely. Food yummy and presentation was everything!! More!! Get there!

Sagar

Fabulous dining experience. As a vegetarian, the rescoldo beets was great, the burrata was fabulous and the charred carrots were perfectly cooked. The celeriac tagliatelle-a pasta made from shaved celery- while innovative, felt a bit underwhelming. But overall, it was great food, served perfectly. And of course, you need the Burnt Alaska for the theatre of it.

The food was fabulous we shared the Bife,Black Rice and the Potatoes. Only complaint was that my martini glass was very small.
