“Try EVERYTHING....!!! Trust Me..“

“Today, I went somewhere else to eat the Seafood linquine and I ate here before I realize Eddie's Gourmet was better for me and I'm convinced I'll be back. I just wish they delivered. I'm a fan.“

“Great food, fun atmosphere, and everyone who works there is very polite!“

“Although had reservations and checked in early still had to wait to be seated. Hostess stated a few tables had been there 3+ hours. When extremely busy there should be a max time cap. Similar to when Covid was around. Many establishments had time limits. Also feel on a Saturday evening should be adults only. Some of the children noise was too loud. I wear hearing aids and still had a difficult time hearing my own table with the elevated noise. Otherwise everything else was great.“

“Been here a few times and it is one of my favorite places to visit in Detroit. The drinks and food rotate and every time I go I find a new favorite!“

“Our server Jaylen was great and extremwly knowledgable. Jaylen ensured our needs were met. Thr manager, Alan, came by as we were eating and was also very attentive. The salted caramel cheese cake was the cherry on top of an already great experience.“

“Sooooo good! Just had dinner tonight and can honestly say the food and service NEVER disappoints!“

“Amazing anniversary dinner there and did not disappoint!! 5 stars and we will be back.“

“Love this restaurant! We travel from Windsor Ontario to eat here because of the great food and drink. However the best part of Troy Yard House is the staff. Namely Sara who works the bar. She is simply amazing. I marvel at how she commands the bar yet encages with each of her customers. We have been here several times and attend based on Sar's schedule. We truly appreciate her as well the other staff who make this a GREAT place to be!“

“Exquisite. The flavors. The freshness. The presentation. It was a real treat. Staff was patient and attentive.“

“best food ever And a distinguished staff👍👍“

“My wife and I dined here for the first time as an early anniversary date, the service was outstanding. our waitress was very knowledgeable on all of the wine that I had with my meal(tasting menu) the food was timely and fantastic. This is a wonderful place. if you have an interest in diversifying your palate.“

“Wow, what an experience. This was truly fine and fun dining. Amazing food, incredible service and cool tunes!“

“To start out, our waitress was excellent. We started with calamari and veggie platter and both were great. My wife ordered the vegetable ciabatta , my son and I got a steak and they were cooked to perfection. We got a couple different desserts and they did not disappoint either. It was the 3rd time we've sat in the chalets and we will be back again. Great experience all around“

“I have gone to the Whitney every year for Christmas dinner. It was annual holidays to celebrate with my nieces. Last Christmas holiday we chose to take the buffet. I was extremely disappointed. All I wanted was prime rib. The server was not very friendly. She stared at me and I was very uncomfortable when I asked for the prime rib only. There was just a small end piece and she gave me a very thin slice close resembling lunch meat. I don’t understand since I paid for a complete meal and it wasn’t cheap. I could’ve gone somewhere else and had a wonderful prime rib dinner. The au jous was not warm, so that was very disappointing. I will never do the buffet again if it’s like last year. In previous years, I’ve attended the buffet and it was outstanding.“

“Wonderful place to go for a special occasion. The entertainment is always top notch. The food was absolutely delicious and the entire staff at the top of their game!“

“We had a great time! The sushi, Raspberry Michigan dessert, service, and my drop drink were absolutely delicious! The music and service from Iyanna were amazing, and then Chef Sebastian came out to introduce himself to us. Such a fantastic experience overall—you won’t regret going there for a special occasion! ❤️“

“This is the Creme de la creme of Detroit's finest dining. The service was excellent, the staff was very professional and the General Manger, Byron, was very attentive and impeccable to us. I commend the owners for choosing such a great person to manage the restaurant. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who want to experience the finest in dining. KUDOS to Highlands Detroit!“

“Great place! We stopped in for dinner after a Tigers game and they took great care of us. The food was delicious and service was prompt and friendly. Four stars for atmosphere because it was a bit loud for dinner conversation at 5pm, but otherwise great!“

“What a wonderful team, food, beer, cider! We are just so lucky to have had our daughters after wedding party here at Batch. Kimberly was a pleasure to work with during the planning and day of the event.
Stephen came to meet us and was essential in making sure we had “Polish, double smoked kielbasa “ for the event. It should be on the menu full time! Everything was delicious and fresh.
The Alabama white pulled chicken, pulled pork, pretzels, smoked meats charcuterie board, fresh fruit, double smoked Kielbasa ( so darn delicious) and the Kale Cesar salad.. all finished off by our Family and guests. Everyone loved the beer selection, the food and the vibe at Batch!
We have always been supporters of Batch Brewery, now we feel like they are part of the Family.
As always with Batch Brewery, just a wonderful , delicious experience! Thank you all for that.“

“Amazing! If you haven’t tried Big Moe’s you need to!“

“Always a turn up when I come home!!!“

“Always spot on!! The house bread and its sauces, amazing!! And had the risotto with shrimp, mushrooms, spinach and cheese. Prefect!! Server was great. You are on our list♥️“

“Great service, food and atmosphere.“

“I cannot say enough about this amazing place. The food was amazing cooked with perfection and flavors that were amazing. we happened on the restaurant on a whim and even though it is an hour+ drive we will be returning at least every couple months.“

“Stopped in for a quick bite and prices were a bit more than I could afford. I settled on the Harvest Orzo. Probably should have noticed bacon was added to request it removed. There were 4 squares of squash, plenty of orzo and a bed of greens. The flavor with squash was great but there weren't many pieces of it to call that the flavor of the dish. It was more like cheesy orzo. The staff was great. I felt welcomed. I know the food here can be great, this time sorry.“

“the food was delicious,and the customer service was awesome I WILL BE BACK ❣️❣️“

“What a wonderful place! The menu generally consists of Wagu burgers (flawless) stellar sandwiches, pizzas (perfect), dinner and side salads (big) soup, appetizers, and a couple of entrees. All of it is incredibly good. Be sure to try the Tempura Asparagus. It’s a favorite.

Service is provided by one or two people jetting around taking care of people, and they are always cheerful, accommodating, and mindful. The atmosphere is strictly “Cheers”. Lot of folks know each other, and we often see people we e seen before. No need to dress up or dress down, either. Come as you are.

We will keep coming back!“

“My wife and Enjoy the customer service every time I hate I don’t remember our waitress name she was awesome, she knew the menu, she came over to us every time on time, she was great! This is my wife’s favorite she love the Ribeyes well done, Ocean Prime never miss with her stakes. That olive oil truffle popcorn should Be sold in stores, I never had popcorn this good ever and it’s to live for!!!“

“Had an early dinner reservation with a friend who had never been to 220 Merrill before. It was a quieter time, right before the dinner rush, and we were able to catch up without any large parties or excessive noise. We both ordered the salmon, which was some of the best fish I've ever had. Perfectly cooked to medium, crispy on the outside, and it came with a sauce that perfectly complimented the potatoes and broccolini. Our server was Shannon, and he made sure we had everything we needed and also gave us the space to enjoy our dining experience. Every time we took a sip of water, there was another server going around, making sure our glasses were always full. I'm glad I could show my friend a new place, and we both agreed that we would be coming back so she could experience what it's like at night.“

“Great service!! We shared small plates and entrees!“

“Their filet o fish sandwich was the best I’ve ever had. The oysters are always great here too. Oh, and they have an awesome happy hour. We love dining here.“

“We had a large group of ladies come in for dinner. It took us about an hour to get seated on a Saturday since they dont take reservations. We had a few bumps in the night but Brandon took great care of us. I believe he was the manager. Our appetizers were great (calamari and crab cake). The bread (or donut as we called it) was delicious!! Our entrees however were less than desirable. Pictured is my crab cake entree with a side of smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese. The mac was terrible (unseasoned and the noodles were hard) 😢 I left the full side almost completely untouched on my plate. My friend's broccoli had a hair in it, which they promptly remade. Someone else's steak tasted like cinnamon as she described it and was tough for the cut of steak. The drinks were 10/10 (shout-out to the bartender). I had a lemon drop mojito *chef's kiss* And the creme brulee was delicious as well. Overall, I would return but simply for drinks and apps!“

“The food was FANTASTIC!! We had completely different food choices and each offering was absolutely amazing. Service was great and Eddie treated us like royalty! Highly recommend!“

“12 burger joints in one day. We ranked them all and Comet was at the top overall. I was just taking bites at the last 3 but we did it. 140 miles. Was it a ton of fun? Yes! Will we remember this forever? Yep! Would I do 12 in 1 day again? No flipping way 🤣“

“Came here for a night out with my fiancé and ended up having a blast. They have all the old school games, which fills up my happy little old-school heart. The bar was amazing, and the drinks were fantastic. I will definitely be back as I still have a crap ton of coins. The only con I have is that there's no tickets or prizes for winning the games.“

“Excellent place for great food and service. We had a wonderful time. Also great price for the quality of food“

“My husband and I love this place , been here twice and great food, servers , atmosphere. Just a wonderful place .“

“Excellent atmosphere, tons of fresh beer taps and fun table games. Everyone is so friendly and great vibes all the around. Highly recommend!“

“Just left The Chocolate Gallery with one of Jasons cherry scones. Absolutely delicilous“

“Barrel House has become our go-to place to hang out and eat. Their food is delicious, the drinks are great, and the staff are all amazing!“

“It was our first time in this place and Ibrahim made our experience so great!! He guided us on the menu and had amazing mixology skills. Will be coming back!“

“This was our first time dining at beppe and will not be our last. Everything, from the service to the drinks to the ambiance, was exceptional! The sourdough is unreal, all pastas are homemade & the sauces were top notch. Overwhelmingly happy with the decision to come here & will absolutely be back!“

“Cozy restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and truly fantastic staff! The food is excellent and carefully prepared. I’m very happy with the experience — I’m from Italy, and I can say everything was absolutely approved! Highly recommended!😊😊“

“Great food , large portions, been there 1/2 dozen times , top notch!!“

“Great place! Paul made us some of his delicious cocktails, and the meatballs were on point. Very creative menu.“

“Service was great. Nice little restaurant. It was a bit too hot out to enjoy the patio. But would Definitely be worth a trip during the summer.

Ordered the bake cheese dip to start. Really enjoyed it. Goes really good with the toasted baguettes.

Full menu of options for drinks. No frozen drinks tho. They do not have a blender. They carry Faygo pop and that was a real treat.

Ordered the chicken Caesar salad. If I had known that, the salad came premixed I would’ve asked for the salad dressing on the side. It turned the Romain lettuce, soggy quickly. Couldn't take the left overs. Dressing was on the bitter side.

Also, tried the fire bird sandwich. Bun gave it good texture. Not a fan of the topping choices. Didn’t go well with the cheese and sauce.

I was excepting a little more from the menu. Smaller menu. Will be back.“
