“Went here for a little get together with friends and it was super cute. It’s a small little pace right on Main Street but super warm inviting atmosphere. It’s intimate and inviting. My go to drink is gin and tonic and here I their lavender gin & tonic. They distill their own spirits and have a large selection of freshly made syrup and mixers. I didn’t have the opportunity to stay long, but I would love to come back again and try some of their other concoctions.“

“Came here for my Wife’s Birthday and it was an amazing experience. Waitress and staff were extremely nice and friendly. They made my wife’s birthday feel extra special for her. The food was absolutely spectacular. We had gotten the Brisket Quesadilla and Turkey Sando as our main dishes. We had then gotten the Honk Kong French Toast as a dessert and it was all easily 5/5’s. Everything was delicious and made and cooked perfectly. Plenty of food for the price and amazing value and absolutely delicious. We’d easily recommend this place to anyone!“

“Mackenzie's Tavern is a wonderful local drinking and dining experience with something for everyone. The owner and staff are very friendly and efficient in their service. The tavern has a very extensive seafood menu towards the end of the week like Thursday and Friday and sometimes Wednesdays. The rest of the time the tavern has a very good bar food type menu featuring Burger or some such. The only day that the kitchen is not open is Sundays when you can bring in your own food or have it delivered. The tavern has a breakfast service that goes from opening till around lunch time and the omelettes are huge and fill you up. You can watch most local sports there and the tavern features an 85-in TV that is surprisingly large for the size of the tavern.“

“Good atmosphere, great food and awesome bartenders“

“I planned ahead and made a reservation in advance on 12/3 for Thursday 12/18 at 745pm for 3 people at The Viridian Room. We specifically made this reservation through their Instagram/Resy. My two friends and I show up, and not only is the Viridian Room closed, but so is French Toast, despite their hours stating the close at 9pm. I tried calling to no avail, and ended up going to another Clawson bar, Local, instead. We were so excited to try this place and extremely disappointed we were not able to attend. Attached below is the confirmation of my reservation.

Edit 1/16/26: The manager had reached out to me via text and was kind and apologetic. She offered to reschedule the reservation and provide a free appetizer. My friends and I went back last night and had wonderful drinks and a snack! The bartenders were very kind and prompt. We will definitely go back. Thank you for making things right!“

“White Wolf Japanese Patisserie is an absolute gem. Their pastries boast unique flavors that are a delightful departure from the ordinary. The Yuzu Cheesecake and Azuki Red Bean Paste Swiss Roll Cake are must-tries, bursting with authentic and refreshing tastes. The Matcha Latte and Raspberry Rose Yuzu are equally exceptional and perfect for a refreshing treat. The staff at White Wolf are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The female chef went above and beyond by offering us a sample of their delicious banana bread, which was a nice touch. It’s evident that everyone who works there is genuinely happy, and this joy is reflected in the quality of their products. If you’re looking for a place that combines unique Japanese flavors with top-notch service, White Wolf Japanese Patisserie is the place to go. Highly recommended!“
