“We walked in to the Buhl Bar and where greeted by George and Aish they where both so friendly and so full of information. We provided our preferences in taste and allowed George to select and make our cocktails. He nailed our tastes and delivered the best cocktails we have had. This place has such a great art deco vide the service was second to none and the drinks amazing. Thank you George and Aish it was a pleasure to have meet you both.“

“Wonderful Coffee! The hand made syrups were probably the best I ever had. I tried two lattes, one with vanilla lavender and the other with honey cinnamon and they were great! I recommend both of them with oatmilk. The owner was super friendly with my party and I and we had a very nice conversation with her while she made our lattes. Down Under is only FOUR minutes away from the TCF, walking. There is NO reason to ever get Starbucks again while I am in Detroit for Youmacon. A definite must for all the con goers to give them a try!“

“Ate in the lounge and had fantastic service. Lovely wood smoke smell in the place. Tried 4 different red wine between my wife and I, all terrific. The small plates we tried were all excellent. My favorite was the whipped salted cod and my wife loved the maitake mushrooms. The mains were also great, the halibut was our favorite. The sherry for dessert was great.

Overall, a surprisingly good meal with fun and knowledgeable wait staff. Best meal I e had had in a good while.“

“Good atmosphere, great food and awesome bartenders“

“This place should have a 6th star.

- Drinks: On point.
- Absinthe experience: Waitstaff is very knowledgeable and it’s fun to watch. It’s STRONG and herby.
- Decor: Almost everything was custom build or original historical pieces.

Overall, this place is super comfortable and is the definition of a clean, classy pub/bar. It’s full of creativity and personality.

If you want history, the waitstaff can walk you through the renovations and history of the building going back to when it became the iconic Jacoby’s in 1904 and further to when it used to be a blacksmith shop and being originally built in the 1800’s.

If you’re ever seeking a quality bar, go here.“

The food is 10/10 the service is top tier the drinks are lovely the atmosphere is cozy and intimate. Every aspect of the experience is worth the money spent. There is only one Caucus Club. Nothing compares.“

Our server was friendly and helpful, everyone was so kind. Loved the drinks Thad made, our meals, Rainbow Trout and Shrimp Boil were excellent.

“The food is delicious and the service is fantastic! My only complaint is how loud the place has become. Not too long ago, it was more of a restaurant than a bar. Lately, however, it has become more like a noisy college bar than a restaurant. I still plan on coming here once in a while.“

“Had brunch with my husband here on a weekday morning and it was pretty busy! Seems like a great spot to bring bigger groups to. Drinks and food were very tasty and the portions generous. The service staff was great and very accommodating. The owner even came out and checked on us. We will definitely be back!

Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating. Thank you!“

“If you’re looking for a culinary experience in Detroit, Midnight Temple is the place to be! From the moment you walk in, the vibrant ambiance sets the tone for a magical evening. Loved the traditional Indian elements, creating an atmosphere that’s both warm and lively.

The food? Absolutely divine! The tikka masala, dhal makhani and biryani are a must try. Don’t skip the garlic naan, it’s the perfect complement to every bite.

Looking forward to coming back and trying more things from the menu :)“

“stopped by for a quick lunch. Sandwich was great service. amazing“

“The food is amazing and the service was even better! Ask for Myka - - she’s sweet, had all the best info in the menu, and made the experience phenomenal!“

“The bartender Jon was amazing. The food is so good and the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. I will say that the hostess, Ms. P was extremely rude, and I almost left. I wanted to dine in, but Ms. P said reservations were required. I told her if we can't eat in, then we can order to go. She interrupted me while I was speaking and asked, "You wanted to eat in, don't you?" I almost left because as her being the face of the restaurant, it was not a welcoming experience.
I'm glad I walked away from her and ordered at the bar. She definitely needs a class in customer service.“

“Had an amazing night here with friends! Great choices of cocktails and super knowledgeable/friendly staff! Shout out to Stefano for taking care of us last night! He was not only a great server but had so much knowledge. Cant wait to come back when I visit Windsor ☺️ highly recommend this place!“

“Innovative and well-crafted mixed drinks, warm atmosphere (feels like home), hardy laughs, and good times. Extensive and premier spirits/wine list. Love the choice of side dishes; they make a great paring. You couldn’t go wrong making a trip here!!“

“We celebrated our ten year anniversary and were surprised with a beautiful card at the table with lovely wishes from the restaurant. Dinner was fantastic, I recommend the filet and the shrimp appetizer. The shrimp is AMAZING! Before we left we were gifted a bottle of house champagne.“

“We’ve lived downtown for a few years and have never made it to this place. Wow. Our loss. This is an amazing bar with the most fabulous unique drinks and the most knowledgeable friendly bartenders. My husband and I had an amazing evening! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Great place to be if you in the downtown area or if you want to have a different scene indoor/outdoor everyone that’s reading this they also carry this sauce called whoo wop sauce it’s a great all purpose sauce gluten free and pescatarian friendly leaving options open for whatever dish shop bodega market on brush !!!!“

“My husband and I tried out Nuevo Seoul for the first time and had a nice experience. It’s a cool setting, the service was fantastic, and we really enjoyed the food. We would eat here again.

Dietary restrictions: I have a gluten allergy, and they were really helpful. They double-checked the ingredients in the proteins I was considering and helped me find something safe to eat.“

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

“Tried F\\u0026B for the first time last week after hearing so many great reviews. Even though the space is a little small, the decor and atmosphere of the place was amazing. The food was delicious and well prepared. My favourite dish was the carbonara gnocchi and duck breast. I would’ve loved to give this place a 5 star but the service was not great considering we were the only ones at the restaurant. Every time a plate was brought to our table, the server would already be walking away, while describing the contents of the dish. When we would wave the server down to ask a question, he never fully stopped at our table and didn’t wait to see if we had any other questions. He just walked away. Overall, I would come back again since their menu changes seasonally and the food was extremely tasty.“

“I love this place so much I drive 4 hours just to eat here“

“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!“

“My friend took me to evening bar for the first time last night and it was a beautiful bar. Modern art deco decor and wonderful cocktails. Shiva was amazing. I had to decide between two cocktails and she described them both in detail that helped me make my decision. I decided on one and it was perfectly up my alley and just as she described. She was so friendly, quick, and attentive even with quite a few guests she was helping. 10/10 will definitely be back. Cocktails were perfectly balanced and had distinct flavors and profiles“

“Had the pizza on Friday and Saturday. It is so delicious 😋 Alyssa was our waitress and she was awesome!! Will ask for her next time if she's there. 🥰“

“First time going, but the music and drinks were fantastic“

“If you're celiac like me, you'll love River's Edge gluten-free burgers with gluten-free bun and gluten-free fries done in a dedicated fryer. Fantastic food, atmosphere & service at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended!!! p.s. Shoutout to Jennifer always great service.“

“The atmosphere was approximately 5 farts per square foot“

“The perfect 30 years old and up vibe, The Our Bar rice is so good 😊 I order two of them just for me. The staff is very professional the owners are always there to make sure you and your people are satisfied with the experience. The Dj is live and drinks are on point. When I say it’s a VIBE it’s a yes for me.“

“Went on a busy Tigers opener and had to park on the street, parking lot was full. Nice drink specials and wait staff got to us fast considering how crowded it was. Ordered an Italian calzone and a Philly Cheese Steak calzone and they were delicious. Had we knew how big they were we would have ordered one and split it, but we have lunch for tomorrow. Good experience all the way around at Tony J’s. 😋“
