“good people and great product“

“My husband’s favorite place for Italian!“

“I keep returning to The Rind, which always features a few interesting and always delicious dishes. I order vegetarian wherever I go and The Rind never disappoints. The last dish I had was a morel-asparagus combination with a butter-based sauce and herbs. I've had the polenta for lunch and that, too, was really solid. The vibe is casual and the service is great. If you visit, keep in mind that you're getting a smaller portion than you might be used to. Nothing is overdone here - including the portion sizes. After your meal, browse Monger's next door for its exotic goods - licorice and chocolate, vinegars and tinned fish, and a respectable cheese case. This is my go-to place.“

“Amazing anniversary dinner there and did not disappoint!! 5 stars and we will be back.“

“Great night out. The food was terrific especially the salmon kabob and the white bean and arugula.
Excellent wine selection and the sommelier made the perfect recommendation for us.
For an open space restaurant it was well suited for a “quiet” meal and easy conversations.
The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and well timed attentive.“

“The Royce exceeded my expectations. My friend and I stopped by on a girls night out, and was accompanied by Connery and Kayla. Both wonderful people. We had the pleasure of staying a little after hours and tried some delicious earthy natural wine suggested by Connery. We ended up buying 2 bottles, and will definitely be back for another visit!“

“Had a great time last night at Brix. The customer service was phenomenal and the food was amazing . I had a strawberry tequila lemon drop and it was absolutely amazing !!! The ambiance and location are the best !!“

“Attened a private wedding reception on Thursday night. It was absolutely an ideal place with ambiance, classy servers and the food was awesome. It was served with wine paring. We also enjoyed dancing into the late night. Perfect! K.Adam Events coordinated the event with Bar Pigalle and it could not have been more enjoyable. Highly recommendable.“

“Authentic, delicious and friendly people, super recommend“

“Wow. What an absolutely fantastic final dinner of 2023! After we managed to find a late dinner reservation for New Year's Eve, it was a relief to discover that our excitement about the tasting menu was well-placed. I would definitely recommend the drink pairings as well! The amuse-bouche featuring oysters from the West and East coasts was a delightful way to splash into the meal. The wasabi and the mangosteen featured in each of the oysters, respectively, complimented the beautiful brine of the oysters in such a wonderfully playful way. This first tasting urged us to pause the menu progression and order an extra dozen oysters to explore the other possibilities. Tasting from Vancouver to Prince Edward Island, they were beautifully prepared and of excellent quality. The first course of lobster salad felt like a summer in Maine. Not that I've ever been to Maine, but the imaginary scene flashed across my vision as I took that first refreshing bite. The grapefruit emulsion worked almost majestically with the light, refreshing flavor of the lobster salad. The tapioca chip was perfect for the crunch to fully bring the different elements of the dish together. A fascinating intersection of refreshment and comfort. The second course was the potato pavé. I'll be thinking of this potato often for the foreseeable future. It was one of those dishes that makes your eyes pop open a bit when you bite it as you realize how good it is. A beautifully layered and seared rectangle of flaky delicious potato resting with a lovely salsa brava speckled with trout roe, topped with tarragon, cured trout, and black truffle flakes. I don't even know what else to say. It was stunning. Sea urchin buttered ramen, the third course, will always be what I wish my at-home thrown-together ramen could be. It was rich, it was luscious, it was comforting. Growing up in southeast Texas, crawfish boils were always some of the most exciting times of the year. The crawfish tails in the ramen brought me back to those summer days eating crawfish with a cold beer. The duck breast for the fourth course was exceptionally cooked. It was juicy and flavorful and made a perfect bite with a bit of cauliflower, raisins, apricot, agrodolce, and foie-sauce. Each bite was such a symphony of flavor that kept me coming back. Last but absolutely not least was the gâteau ardéchois: the chestnut cream cake. Accompanied by cranberry coulis and crispy meringue bites, this dessert was a sweet but still mellow finish. While the coffee mascarpone ice cream was a robust and complementary flavor, we both agreed the vanilla coconut ice cream was the star between the two. Thank you again to the stellar crew at Mink! Happy New Year!“

“Visiting from Pittsburgh, PA - I stopped here on Sunday for the first time. Luke was very pleasant and accommodating. The tastings were awesome. I didn't have a chance to sample any of their food but I definitely plan to come back again.“

“Really delicious. The menu is limited, which I think is a good idea as it allows the chef to add and remove items. The Suppli de Teli risotto balls are not your typical Arancini floating in tomato sauce. Your first bite is a mouthful of flavor with a slightly vinegary, black pepper, delicately cheesey and risotto flavor. Don't miss the cheese smear under the Suppli. It adds a light sweetness to the peppery bites. Truly an excellent appetizer. We also had the Polpette appetizer with a deep meaty flavor in the meatball and a delicious tomato ragu reminiscent of Sunday gravy in it's depth of flavor. They offer a meatball sandwich with these meatballs; we will be trying that! For our meals we had Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and the Cocoletta (veal chop). The Alfredo sauce is made in the Italian style. Rather than cream, it is made with cheese and pasta water. Really delicious. The pasta was perfectly al dente with a great chew and topped with black truffle ?. The veal chop was cooked to your preference and huge! Mine was med rare and was seasoned perfectly. I never even looked for salt or pepper. Delicious! The baby potatoes were crispy and perfectly seasoned and the asparagus was baby finger sized and grilled well. We were too full for dessert. The wine offering is small, but well curated. We had no alcohol this time. Highly recommended!

Vegetarian options: The usual offerings: salad, margarita pizza, a pasta dish. Minimal, but you can find something to eat.

Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten free pasta. I didn't check to see if the pizza had gluten free options.

Parking: Parking on both sides of the building and on the street in front.“

“Wow! Had one of our best meals in Sorrento tonight. Make sure to put this one on your list!“

“A very well curated selection of wines. I don't always come for the entertainment (unless it's Miguel Migs), but to purchase wine and every single time it's been superb. For example, MCW had Georgian wine, very few people know how good it is. I can't recall how much I spent, but the flavor was brilliant. I prefer MCW for wine by a parsec rather than a grocery store.“

“Friendly service, great cocktails and pizza!“

“Great bar and very friendly people here. The neighborhood is such a great place!“

“This was a birthday dinner. Our waitress was great. When our appetizer took too long to be prepared, the took it off the bill. As usual our foot was delicious. The only problem was fruit flies flying around. They've had this problem before. I wish they'd take care of it again.“

“Our group of eight had reservations at The Capital Grille after church on a Sunday, and from the moment we walked in, the experience was excellent. There was no wait, and we were seated immediately.

We were lucky to have Daryl as our server — he was absolutely amazing! From taking our orders to ensuring our table had everything we needed, he was attentive and professional throughout. He kept our waters and teas refilled and made sure we were well taken care of.

The food was outstanding. The 22-ounce steak, Filet Mignon and Roasted Chicken Breast With Mushrooms And Parmesan Risotto was cooked to perfection, the Korean barbecue appetizer was delicious, and both the French onion soup and clam chowder were full of flavor. Everything we ordered — from appetizers to entrées — exceeded expectations.

The only downside was the wedge salad, which didn’t taste as fresh as we would’ve liked. But that small detail aside, the entire dining experience was wonderful. We’ll definitely be back!“

“I visited this past Valentine’s Day weekend and visited again this past Saturday night. I didn’t have a reservation but still got seated very quickly. It was a hot, muggy night and the hostess said she had a seat on the patio which I was fine with. I had a magnificent server, Florence, who was kind, thoughtful to recommend a drink to the person I was with and even when our drinks were brought out within a short time, apologized for the delay (which wasn’t necessary). I wish I could give a review on the party next to us because they were extremely rude, not only not giving consideration to others being on the patio but were also incredibly rude to Florence. One woman in particular was grandstanding in front of this group and demanded to speak to a manager. Florence and the Manager were both composed and dignified in spite of a rude patron that was looking to get her bill comped (for a party of nearly a dozen people) going so far as to threatening to have everyone at her table write a terrible review. I have worked in the service industry and so have so many people I know and love so this situation had me worked up and I felt it necessary to write a review that our experience was magnificent. Don’t be an a-hole to servers of any kind just because you’re an a-hole yourself. If you give respect, you get respect. Go to The Sugar House. Be a good customer.“

“Yes, but - the order and pay by phone ruins the overall experience of Mudgies. Can’t ask an app about the menu. Spent 10 minutes looking on the interface to order an ice tea. Figured it was my lack of finding the menu. Had to flag someone down to learn they were out of ice tea. All those things a server would tell you. But alas you don’t get. So good food, crappy experience! Lower your expectations, taking on the McDonald’s approach, sad really. Oh and if you want an item on the side they charge extra for that?! And with this order system no one asked me how my lunch was- or if I needed anything. So my sandwich was cold and sat awhile before it was quickly dropped at my table. I am so bummed - loved this place. The good news is there are now a ton of amazing options for lunch in Corktown. I recommend tipping much less because you are really on your own.“

“We really enjoyed our brunch. The staff was great and the sweetest people. I loved the Jammie eggs and the preserves.“

“Great service, food and atmosphere.“

“I like to thank the staff at Andiamo especially Thelma who was our server.. Also, thank you Mike for stopping by to see if everything was good. Im glad that we had chosen that location to celebrate Rosalyn birthday“

“I was looking for a place to eat in Royal oak and the options were slim. I tried this place
and this cob salad and chicken sandwich changed my life. This is the only place I’m going for dinner in Royal oak. The staff is friendly and are on point.“

“I recently visited the Pizzaplex, and it was nothing short of amazing. The place is a perfect blend of fun, excitement, and a hint of unease. The atmosphere is electric, with neon lights, arcade games, and some of the most lifelike animatronics you’ll ever see. At first, everything feels carefree—until you start noticing the strange little details, like the odd glitches in the systems and the eerie silence in certain parts of the complex.

The attractions are fantastic, but there's an undeniable sense that something’s off—like the place has a darker history lurking just beneath the surface. The security systems are top-notch, though a little too focused on watching you. Every corner you turn feels like it could lead to something unexpected, and there’s always a question of who—or what—might be watching.

Highly recommend checking it out if you’re into a good thrill. Just remember, not everything here is as innocent as it seems.“

“We had a really great first experience at Beppé. My husband and I stopped in on a weeknight for a light dinner. We shared the croquettes, the beet salad and the rabbit pasta. Wow! Really tasty food, the standout was the beet salad on olive oil whipped feta. Really beautiful, thoughtful dishes using high quality ingredients. Wait staff was friendly and attentive but not intrusive. We sat on the patio and had a really lovely all around experience. Will definitely recommend to friends.“

“New Restaurant in Hotel Indigo. With a full bar and tap beer.“

“My server informed me at the very end of my meal that the restaurant has lied to customers for over a year about having gluten free carrot cake and they have just been feeding people with intolerances gluten containing cake. So disrespectful. I got glutened after I spent $200 on my meal and was assured I had chosen gluten free dishes and precautions were being taken. Like look, I get it. Food allergies are a pain in the *ss but if you can't accommodate people with them don't lie to your customers. There are lots of other places in the metro area who do take allergies and medical conditions seriously. Way to ruin my birthday. Im going to be sick for a whole week because I have Celiac Disease. Thanks a ton.“

“If Katrell (Pineapple Daddy) wasn't here...I wouldn't make it a mandatory location. He makes sure my party is happy and that everything is everything. The food is excellent and the service is as well!“

“Had an amazing evening!! We went with 2 other couples . It started out with Eve in the bar, she was so knowledgeable and made us the most amazing cocktails. Then we moved to the dinning area where Keri was our waitress. Her suggestions for wine and dinner were spot on!! She was fun and very attentive to our entire party. Dinner was 5 stars all around , as many of us are foodies. After dinner we followed up with Valerie who gave us a lovely tour of this beautiful Detroit Club!! All in all it was an incredible experience with our friends!! We will definitely be back!! Thank you to the entire staff who made our visit so charming and memorable!!“

“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.“

“My waitress Faline was awesome! Attentive, funny, and a great server! She made sure our drinks were always full, checked in at the perfect times, and brought such positive energy to the table. Her personality and service truly made the dining experience enjoyable. Eduardo was awesome too, not sure what his position was but he helped out immensely! The manager even walked by and checked on us about 5 minutes after we got our food and asked “how was everyone's first bite” Overall great experience!“

“Once a month, or more like once a week, lately…we love Luigi’s!“

“Fun casual dining- great food, good service!“

“We celebrated My Husband Birthday Everything Was Perfect Thank You For An Awesome Experience Our 1st Time There 🥰Definitely Will Be Back And Highly Recommended 🥰“

“Table No. 2's lobster bisque, surf and turf, and peach cobbler make for a fantastic dining experience! High-quality food and friendly service. Highly recommend! Will return!“

“The vibe the restaurant gives is very nice it’s a place where you have time and you have good company you can bring your own bottle in its jazz playing the food is good I’ll definitely go back for a third time“
