The service was perfect! Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and an excellent wine steward! I look forward to returning!“

“I met a friend here because the kitchen is open until 10:45, and we were hungry. Had the duck fat fries (which were the best item of what we had) in addition to the deviled eggs and a pizza. They kill you with add-on charges (over $1 for a side of ranch or garlic sauce for example, plus more to sprinkle a little cheese on the fries). The deviled eggs had a very odd chemical taste to me, which I think had to do with the mustard used. The pizza we had, which was some prosciutto and habanero cream combination recommended by the chef was nothing special.The atmosphere is good, and even better when the patio is open. Don't expect a good value for either the food or the drinks when you come here though...“

Walked in with my wife and was immediately greeted by some friendly locals They welcomed us and told us the jukebox is free lol. You can play anything you want and they love it. Come on over here if you want a delicious bloody Mary and a beer.“

“New place in town and it has a great ambience utilizing the old train carriage. The food was good but really depends on what you were ordering. My wife's breakfast taco was exceptional while my sandwich was mediocre at best. It was really busy when we went and that could be a reason. The drinks were good but wish that they had more beers available. Will try again in a few months to see if things have changed/improved. Would still recommend as the staff is really friendly and caring.“

American Fifth Spirits Cocktail Bar • $$
112 N Larch St, Lansing

“Every cocktail I've had here over the years has been fantastic! They are so well developed and balanced. The seasonal cocktail sampler is such a great offering; I have so much fun getting to try four fantastic cocktails, and I come back for the new sampler every season. I also love the relaxed atmosphere. I, for one, am so glad that there aren't tvs. That would ruin the atmosphere, and I don't want to contend with the sports crowds. This is my favorite bar in Lansing!“

“Service was amazing they made me the best Bloody Mary I’ve had in a long time I asked if they could make me a homemade one and it was so wonderful. The only thing I have to say that wasn’t great was the food I ordered (the mushroom pasta) made me really sick. Maybe the cream in it went bad which can happen. Other than that everything was amazing and we loved the server and I really enjoyed my drink.(:“

“I walked in by accident, had been in another bar down the street and was exploring ( I'm not from Lansing) . Played Keno, hit a 6 spot that paid $2200. Bought the BAR a drink since I had free money. Google the place next day and discovered it was a " gay bar " . I'm straight. Still pissed because as attractive as I am, no one hit on me ! LMAO. Great place. Go spend an hour there.“

“Bravo is a solid Italian chain restaurant. It's definitely more expensive than others, though. The food is always fresh, and the free bread and oil are always tasty. I've only had one issue with the food the last time I went, and the waitress resolved it well. There just happened to be some parchment paper stuck to the bottom of my desert, and I didn't see it until I took a bite. The waitress offered to take the item off or get me a new one. I opted for a new one to go, and there were no issues with that one. Overall, it's a pretty good restaurant, not quite five stars, but almost.Vegetarian options: The spaghetti pomodoro is full of flavor and very filling. I haven't tried the other vegetarian options, but I would expect them to be on a similar level.Parking: Large parking lot shared with the shopping center.“

“Disappointed you aren't seating customers after 1 am. The music at the bars just concluded but we can't stop by for food anymore. Really enjoyed your spot as the late night spot. Now you are not the late night spot. Will stop recommending you to the Lansing Foodies looking for late night food. Was a big fan but not of the chicken. Too processed.“

“Now, this is the first time I've eaten here! I've knocked the food two stars down to three because it just seems like more could have been done with it it actually was a quality product for that alone is why it gets three stars I think it could have been prepared and presented better. I knocked the service two stars not because it was bad service it was just not up to five stars or four as far as I'm concerned. The only reason I didn't give it five stars on the atmosphere it really wasn't that crowded, and it was still somewhat noisy place acoustically. I'm not sure why it's a little noisy in there, but it's a visually beautiful pleasing atmosphere. Is it cool little location down on the corner of Washington Square right down from the capitol. If you're in the area I'd give it a try if you're looking for something a little more fancy restaurant bar feel.Parking: Well, the reason I say it's someone difficult is because it depends on the time of the day you're going there and it's all street parking. you usually can get parking within a block when it is tougher times to find a place to park, Maybe sometimes you got to go two blocks. But most of the time, you usually can park within the block of the establishment you're heading for down in this Washington Square area.“
