“My husband’s favorite place for Italian!“

“Edit at end.

Full transparency never been to the actual location but have ordered direct and purchased from vendor. The customer service I received from this vendor was awesome.

Meads I've tried are heather, leatherwood, heart of darkness (cherry/currant).

Someone else mention dansk mjod. Yes, I would say get that if this is not feasible with the cost. Both are awesome and I drink them both for different occasions. They aren't the same shelf.

This for me is special occasion (Beltane, Lughnasagh, etc). It is absolutely gorgeous. All meads I have tried are layered, so deeply honey driven, and loaded with fruits for the melomel.

If you want to taste the season, and be grateful for what the plants and insects combined with human effort can make, taste a narrative. Drink home made mead if you can make it or get it from a loved one, share it, or for my situation I have to buy it. I do recommend this meadery, and yes it is expensive.

Edit I did visit and left with a bottle of their cyser. I went for a flight and it was great - the service was friendly and welcoming and I also got a book to help me learn more. Not cheap, but extremely high quality.“

“Food is great. Grilled cheese sandwich is epic. Wagyu pastry is a must try. The place is understaffed and chaotic at times. If you order a custom party tray, double check to make sure they didn’t just give you the ‘off menu’ version. I learned that the hard way and had to drive 12 miles all the way back to get the order fixed. No compensation for my troubles. Would still go back because the food is super good“

“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.“

“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 !!“

“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!“

“My lady and I celebrated our anniversary at Bar Pigalle last night, and it was just as incredible as we remembered. We had been once before and absolutely loved it, so returning was an easy choice.

The ambiance is elegant yet inviting. It has that hidden-gem quality that makes you feel special the moment you walk in. Our server, Adam, was warm, welcoming, and attentive, making the entire experience even more enjoyable.

And the food? Phenomenal. We started with two expertly crafted cocktails, the Turn on Red and the French Caffee, both delightful in their own way. For appetizers, we shared the beet salad and mushroom gratin, which were flavorful and perfectly prepared. But the real reason we came back...The burger.

I know it’s “just” a burger, but this is the burger I judge all others by. I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s the best I’ve ever had—juicy, flavorful, and just downright delicious. If you're a burger lover, this is the one you need to try.

Bar Pigalle continues to impress, and we’ll absolutely be back again!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Authentic, delicious and friendly people, super recommend“

“This place is a Gem. One of a kind. It's the perfect place for every occasion. The owners give me hope in humanity and that a solid relationship can happen. The patio the music and food pop ups are top of the line. The wine selection and prices are amazing. 100000 % recommended“

“Friendly service, great cocktails and pizza!“

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

“Great place.
Now to set some of these 1 star reviews straight.
If its the weekend there isn't lunch prices duh!
You can not see an empty table,sit yourself down, and wonder why you didn't get service. Duh!
No reservation? You are not entitled to any explanations other then "You are welcome to make a reservation for 9pm tonight" no one has to tell you how long they are holding an earlier reservation for. Its not yours you are not entitled to answers about a reservation that is not yours. DUH!!
So many negative reviews because you feel as though the employees were looking down on you. I have checked across your other negative reviews and they have the same complaint.... I think you are the problem. DUH!!
Last but not least, Your Husband said he called and was told on a Saturday that reservations were not necessary. Yeah sure. He either called the wrong place, or he was told "We aren't taking reservations for today" that is not the same as reservations aren't necessary and if you do not know the difference you have no business eating at an establishment such as this, stick to coney islands because I guarantee its one of those two things. No one told him that Reservations weren't necessary on a Saturday night. Use some common sense DUH!
Some of you probably read over your negative review thinking that'll show them! Nah, just shows your ignorance and lack of self awareness. I don't work here nor do I know anyone involved. I'm just calling out stupid nonsense reviews.“

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

“Rosie has provided us with an unparalleled dining experience. From our initial visit, she has been a standout server, alongside Maya. Her commitment to delivering exceptional, personalized service is evident in her friendly, attentive, and professional approach, making our first experience at Seasons 52 with Rosie a compelling reason to return.“

“Great service and selection! I recommend Sugar House to any bourbon lover!“

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

“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.“

“Our server was awesome. The food was amazing. Our suggestion was the area we sat in kind of felt like you were in a basement. It would have been great if we had a better view of the riverfront. We had a great experience and no complaints would go back again.“

“Great service, food and atmosphere.“

“My friends and I enjoyed Sunday brunch. Our server Sarah was the absolute best! The food was yummy. We had the fried chicken sandwich, burger with fries, and tagliatelle pasta with lamb. We wished for more dessert options, the Tiramisu was just ok. The space is cozy with nice decor, I will definitely be back!“

“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.“

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

“The pizza was good. The wine was great. The special was sold out. I didn't know it was karaoke night though. Music from karaoke was playing as well as like a spotify playlist so the noise was a bit distracting. Otherwise I had no problem getting seated. The food came really quickly. The servers were generally helpful. I would come here again.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Love the whole vibe and atmosphere. From the wonderful front desk person to our awesome server Jonathan.

Excellent service and love the expresso Martini.

Will definitely be back and want to visit the cigar bar and spa.

Excellent anniversary dinner.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Great place, service is always above par. Our wait staff went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. Steak and shrimp was cooked to perfection. Even threw in an extra dessert for us to take home. Highly recommend this steak house.“

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

“Terrible restaurant! Tasteless chicken over tasteless rice. How can they mess up such simple dishes. They have!“

“Amazing experience and totally awesome service from Mike! Definitely recommend going there!“

“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 🥰“

“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“
