Third time is the charm, we will see !!!“

“My girlfriend and meself stopped in randomly after the Eastern Market and had one of the best meals and experience we’ve had while visiting Detroit. The Tokyo muscles were the best muscles I’ve ever had. We had a classic Bloody Mary and their hot sauce really brought some heat! We got the Carmel cookie coffee as well and that was swell as well. The environment and staff especially made the experience even better. We had Rhonda as a server and she was very pleasant and helped give us recommendations that turned out to be very tasty. Overall we were glad we chose to eat at Vivio’s and will definitely be back next time we wander to Detroit.“

The food came out fast and hot, and everything tasted incredibly fresh and delicious. And I HAVE to mention the lemon rice soup, SO GOOD, I had to make a request to have one to go!

The owner was also incredibly friendly and personable. He took the time to chat and made the whole experience feel so welcoming and personal.

“From the moment we arrived, our experience was nothing short of amazing. The food was outstanding—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was warm, friendly, and fun, making it the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable and welcome. On top of that, the location is fantastic, with plenty of activities nearby to enjoy before or after your meal, which really added to the overall experience. The highlight of our visit, however, was our waitress, Ashley W. She went above and beyond in every way. Ashley anticipated our every need before we even had to ask, showing an attentiveness that is rare to find. She was friendly, personable, and very knowledgeable about the menu, which made ordering so much easier and more enjoyable. Her positive energy and genuine care turned what was already a great dining experience into something truly memorable. Ashley is, without a doubt, the main reason my family and I plan to return. Her service left such a lasting impression on us that we would gladly make the trip back to Michigan just to eat here again. It is rare to come across someone who takes so much pride in their work and makes every guest feel special, but Ashley did exactly that. She is an absolute asset to this restaurant, and we cannot thank her enough for making our visit exceptional.“

“Had a mix up with drive through order, didn't get toppings on veggie burger, turns out employee in trainee. We can understand that.

Harvey's offered to make my next meal experience much better, Thank you for that, comped our combos for the next time we came back to compensate for the inconvenience.
Very appreciated!!
It's not a Harvey's burger without all the toppings on it, you really can't just add at home!
Thank you to Store Manager Amber for a quick reply and fixing the problem asap!“

“I had the best service from Casaandra ,she is professional ,outgoing service is 1000%“

“We stopped in Central Kitchen + Bar this past Sunday, 9/21, for brunch before the Tigers Game. What a fantastic experience! We were greeted so kindly and had the pleasure of Brandon serving us. He gave us many menu recommendations and checked on us continually. The atmosphere of the restaurant was “elegant and fun!” We’ll be back the next time we visit Detroit. Thanks for a wonderful dining experience!“

“I ordered delivery from a service that did not follow directions and never received the order until my neighbor found it outside. I called the establishment and the owner himself delivered the order in 20 minutes. He went above and beyond. I would highly recommend this restaurant with a side note that the food was delicious.“

“Our Son’s wedding was at the hall tonight. First let me tell you the food was amazing! Our family received so many positive comments about the food. It was refreshing! We had the Salmon and the Beef Short Ribs Asparagus and potatoes. Do not hesitate to book your event here! Such a great time!!“

“We just had the best dining experience with Carissa, we love her and will be back to request her every single day of the week! ❤️❤️“

“I came all the way from New York and decided to try Jakova Grill, and I’m glad I did. The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The grilled meat platter was tender, juicy, and served with a delicious fresh salad. The portions were generous, and everything tasted homemade.

The staff was welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere was clean, comfortable, and relaxing. You can tell they take pride in both their food and customer service.

If you’re looking for authentic Balkan-style grilled food, this place is definitely worth a visit. I will be coming back whenever I’m in the area. Highly recommended! 👍🔥🥩“

“I had a delicious biscuit and a Black Tonic! Very interesting beverage if you’re feeling a little daring - I liked it!“

“I work in the area and dine in and get carryout all the time. I've never had a bad experience the food is always amazing and the service. I highly recommend the Chicken Monterey. No other restaurant is beating theirs. Reheating left overs in a tin pan@350 for 15 mins omg. First off they make rice perfect. Reheating makes dinner thru the roof oven baked.“

“my corned beef and Swiss on onion roll was filling and delicious.not to mention quick friendly service“

“great food and service...“

“The best burger (Smashburger) and french fries that I’ve ever had in one combination. Fantastic service, very reasonable prices and really nice atmosphere. But again the best Smashburger and french fries ever and I’m 64 years old so come down and enjoy.“

“Clean, friendly, attentive, excellent food. You can tell right away when you walk to the door that the owners love this place and are proud of it. I had the steak and eggs, both cooked to my rare/over medium delight and my rye toast actually came with my meal. So important. Loved our waitress Becky. I'm from Sfld and my sisters are in Mt. Clemens. We will make this our meeting spot from now on.“

“Had a great time at Shores Inn! The food was absolutely amazing, but the highlight of the visit was definitely the service. Annie and Alexis are fantastic bartenders who bring great energy, mix excellent drinks, and really know how to take care of their guests. They keep the atmosphere fun and welcoming the entire time. If you're looking for a great meal and top-notch service, you definitely need to check this place out. Management is very lucky to have such a hardworking and personable team behind the bar. Highly recommend!“
