Initially walking in, I loved the place. Decor is cool and eclectic, they have herbs for sale etc. I had a reservation for 3, we ended up with 4 people which luckily was not a big deal. We are sat in the greenhouse area I believe that is referred to as a patio in reservations, though I chose the dining room. At first I thought this could be because we went from 3 to 4 but the table was set up for 3 and they had to bring another place setting so this was definitely our original spot. We were promptly served drinks and an app while we waited for 2 others. The sun was beating on us but the seat facing outside was truly blinding so we asked if we could move, and when they said no, we asked if there was something else that could be done to help. They made zero effort to come up with a solution just stating that "the sun will eventually go down" and mentioned something about us going from 3 to 4 as a contributing factor to why they couldn't help us. We were there from 5:30-6:45 and save 30secs of a cloud, it was there the whole time. It honestly ruined the dinner for us because it was such a simple problem that completely ignored (like they literally could have hung a towel up or something, we're not demanding people) and used a minor change to our reservation that actually brings them more money as an excuse not to help us (I understand reservations that would actually change table size would matter but ours didn't). Our waitress was very nice and apologetic but the manager who came over was completely dismissive. Anyway, on to why I decided to still give them a good rating - the food was all good. The beet tartar was good, marrow burger "ok" per my brother, fish and chips was really good but I think my favourites were the smelt appetizer, hush puppies (and I normally don't like hush puppies)and the mushroom flat bread. Drinks were solid. Price is not cheap but not outrageous for the quality. I still don't know if it's enough to risk coming back again... Maybe after dark?

It’s easy to overlook this gem tucked away in a small marina located between a public boat launch onto the Detroit River and two other park that are right on the river’s edge. The restaurant itself is located on the marina / canal system that extends through the adjacent neighborhood. Their attentive staff is warm and laid back and the food is gourmet level. Parking is limited, but we were able to eventually find an open spot. In addition to being a terrific lunch spot, this is a great place to have dinner at the end of the day and (in warmer months) sit outside along the canal and enjoy a couple of drinks. Its unique location makes it the ideal destination for boaters coming in from a day of activity on the river or to be the highlight of a family drive. Pricing reflects the high quality of the items on their menu, but are well worth it.
Pro tip: Before you decide to visit, make sure you understand their schedule / hours and weekdays of operation which vary significantly throughout the season.

Great place to take any group. It’s kid friendly, date friendly etc. It would be simpler to say “people friendly.” The food is top shelf and I have never been disappointed in the service with other 20 visits. Highly recommend.
Dietary restrictions: Service takes food allergies and dietary restrictions seriously
Kid-friendliness: There are board games and plenty of things for them to stay busy while you can enjoy your meal.

Was looking forward to visiting with parents, but when we arrived, we quickly realized the place was more run down than anticipated. Looks much prettier in pictures, but in reality, it’s an old establishment next to a sad little creek. We sat there for 15 minutes and despite several workers walking by and even making eye contact with us, nobody took our orders, so we just got up and left without an apology or anything.

Came into town for my birthday weekend and found this amazing place outside of downtown detroit. Grosse pointe is a cool little spot. Found this amazing restaurant on the canal that locally grows and farm source their seasonal menu. I'm a person that loves dessert first before I eat so we tried their freshly made poached pear Panna. I was sold on their special turnip disc. Never had turned up before but it was definitely a hearty and game-changer. The croutons that were on top of it were homemade fresh and so crunchy it was bomb diggity. The deviled eggs I've never had pickled before but oh my goodness it had corn flakes on it everybody corn flakes crazy. My woman had an amazing Caesar salad with grilled chicken on it. Now I haven't had amazing fresh anchovy dressing in a long time but this was all so much fishy and anchovy taste that it caught me off guard at first but was very pleasant and refreshing. The drink of choice was a non-alcoholic ginger beer with an edible flower and seasoned fruit.

Loved this place!!!! The food was great, the staff was great, and the atmosphere was amazing. You must try this place if not for the food for the ambiance. You sit inside, and you get one feel, but outdoors, the vibe changes. This place is like a hideaway from the big city while being in the city. Instead of the constant drone of cars/trucks and usual city noise. You are bombarded with quiet, occasion flocks of birds, sounds of water, some fisherman on boats wander by, and sometimes you hear the horns of the freighters on the river. It was definitely a piece getaway with excellent food!

Terrible attitude great space. Coriander could be great, it’s a truly special physical place that took vision and guts to create, but execution and attitude bring it down. After visiting multiple times a few things are consistent. Atmosphere is great, just a cool space indoor and out. Food is good. Service is consistently spotty, with consistent hints of pretentiousness. While the servers are always friendly, I’ve been seated with servers not assigned multiple times having to request a server. Also, the hostess (self named circus master) is pretty consistently dismissive and leaves you with the feeling that she’s doing you a favor to be seated. Her social media posts are utterly obnoxious and self serving, clearly illustrating the attitude and mindset that shows through in the experience. There is no need to lecture guests, especially publicly. You are a restaurant providing a service to paying customers, not doing them a favor. The focus should be on providing customers a great experience not whining online to the 99% because you were annoyed by the 1%.

I recently dined at this charming restaurant known for its handcrafted dishes. The fun and unique atmosphere added to the experience. The fresh beet salad and hush puppies were highlights, showcasing the quality of the their ingredients. The friendly service and commitment to sustainability were also commendable. I highly recommend this restaurant for a delightful dining experience.
