Went with my wife for dinner and got there early for dinner I’d say around 5. There was only 2 other tables being used and we were sat in a tight 2 top right next to another couple, despite the restaurant being pretty wide open. Kinda weird but got over it and asked to move to another 2 top table and no problems there. Fried green tomatoes were delicious and served with a great chow chow and pimento cheese! My wife had the duck which was just ok, gamey and a bit over done for us. My scallops were fresh and came with a great sauce but were definitely over salted. The highlight for me was the smoke bird cocktail, a must have for mezcal fans! Service was a little slow considering it was again, pretty quiet. This is all pretty nit picky but after 2 drinks a piece, an appetizer and 2 entrees if I’m paying over $180 I don’t wanna have any issues like I mentioned above.

Had a great breakfast and service with Ciara. The pancakes are the best around…cakey vs rubbery. The lemon butter and sauce were unique and wonderful! The Yukon potatoes were crispy and well seasoned. We will return!

The food was excellent for an evening dinner. I had the chicken and it was absolutely delicious. The zucchini and mushrooms were tasty. I was excited to see that the Chef catered to allergies. The atmosphere was chic industrial. Many different alcohols to choose from. The staff were very friendly. Josh was our server and he did an excellent job providing our requests with a smile. He was also informative and helpful when requesting special dietary changes.

If you want the best french toast in Lansing, look no further than The People's Kitchen. The french toast had roasted pineapple and pear with candied pecans. It was one of the most delicious breakfasts I've ever had. 10 out of 10 would eat again.

Vegetarian options: This restaurant pops up as number one for vegan options. Being from out of town, we thought this would be a great place to stop. It was not. One vegan option. It included kimchi which is an "acquired" taste that I have not acquired. When questioned, the server replied, "well that is on the internet, we don't do that." They did make me a vegan salad dressing so I could eat a salad for dinner. For those of you who are vegan, you know just how special of an option a salad is.....not. It was a good salad, however. The server seemed aware that the internet advertises this restaurant as good for vegans. I would highly recommend countering this advertising boldly to prevent deceiving others or creating a couple of regular vegan go to options. My husband tried so hard to find a place that would give me choices and was very disappointed and embarrassed for bringing me here. The colored glass was pretty and the restaurant had a nice environment minus the freezing cold basement bathrooms. If you like duck fat and don't need to use the restroom often, this would be a good choice for dinner.
