The atmosphere was perfect, we used the outdoor seating area and enjoyed hanging out for a few hours. Drinks were super good, all the staff was friendly, and our server, Nick, was super fun and we enjoyed chatting with him! Thank you, Saint 1881 and staff. We had an amazing time :)“

“Place is a G💎M

Right at 21.5 and Vandyke
Across from (Arby's)

This place is a relaxing oasis from this surrounding concrete jungle. 🌴

Brandon, a friend told me about it.

The house made sweet wines clinch the deal for me.

Super chill staff, owners.

Truly a place to unwind
Board games, wine accessories, intimate seating, group gatherings.

Don't just drive by.

Limited hours, call 1st“

“We just held a baby shower in the enclosed outdoor Patio at the Troy location, January 18th. Was worried it would be cold since it was in the low 20s outside and windy, but it was wonderful. Staff was wonderful to work with from all the pre-planning with Jenna through the entire staff at the Troy Location. Servers were very attentive to all the guests. Manager worked with us on how and when we wanted the appetizers served, followed by lunch and then dessert. It was a great location for the shower. It was like having it in our own backyard but with service and none of the cleanup! The fireplace with the chairs by it was a great place to display prizes for the guests and a great place for the new mom and dad to open the gifts with everyone being able to see. It was easy to walk around and talk to everyone. We will definitely recommend to our friends for future events.“

“Where do I even start! This is hands down, the premier cigar bar! I’ve gone to a few others and they don’t compare to DCs. Chris and Donny (owner) has done an incredible job. First off, the ventilation. On a packed night, the place isn’t even overly cloudy or smokey, great ventilation. Their humidor also offers a great selection of cigars at affordable prices. Next the food. Everything in the menu is top notch and other very affordable. The steak bites, deviled eggs, burgers, fries, everything, 5 out of 5. Now, the atmosphere, unlike any other cigar bar. It’s classy, looks good, clean, and always has a great mix in music and tv selection. They also have a hell of a drink selection, very impressive. Lastly, the staff. I’ve become a regular over the last six months and have had the pleasure to work with some of the best in the business. Sarah and Rheanna are amazing, they don’t get any better than these two! They’re friendly, treat you like they’ve known you for years, professional and know their business. Most would say they do this for the tips, they don’t. They do it because that’s just who they are, just friendly and sweet. Joe is also one hell of a guy! Everybody on the staff makes time for you. The moment you walk in, they greet you by name. They have an incredible staff, that’s what keeps you coming back. Thank you all for making this place a great spot to sit down and enjoy a night out, whether a date night, a guys night out or even just a solo night to grab a drink and a cigar! Rheanna, Sarah and Joe will keep you coming back. I would rate DCs staff a 6 out of 5. Thank you for making this a comfortable and fun escape from everyday life!“

“My experience at condado was great , the food the vibe and my bartender Katie was on point with everything.“

“Deanna & Anna have a great establishment here! Just visited this evening with a few friends for the first time. I’ll definitely be back. I had the veggie panini and truffle fries with a sangria. The food was great and so was the sangria. Definitely looking forward to visiting in a weekend when I have more time to enjoy some charcuterie and some wine. Thank you both for your hospitality 😊“

“We love O’Grizzly’s. When Hoops closed, we needed to find a new favorite spot. We found it! Cold drinks, great service and delicious food. It’s our go to spot.“

“Great drinks and night scene. Had a lot of fun their last night.“

“Came here for dinner with my sisters. We all enjoyed our meals and our waitress and all staff we encountered were amazing.“

“Stopped here with my brother and his wife to enjoy a drink and snack while my nephew was at soccer practice. Had nice looking walk up seating at an outdoor counter along the windows of the restaurant. Televisions inside we're playing football highlights which is always great. Rated 4 stars instead of five for service because the menu had no prices for the beer or drinks available. Drink pictures did not necessarily match the menu, for instance, if you wanted a spicy margarita with jalapeno there was a picture of one, but nothing on the menu. We inquired about it and they said they could make any Margarita on the menu a spicy one, and add the jalapeno. This is fantastic but why not note this on the menu? They had a decent beer list on the menu but no prices, and did not say whether it was bottle or tap. Made selecting a beer more difficult than it should be. (Prices varied quite a bit, the server was able to find a printed piece of paper with prices after asking for several, but it didn't seem to
match the names or order on the menu exactly, but did give a general idea of prices... assumed tap beers were only those offered in 22 ounce size, menu did not specify. ) Once past the drink price/menu obstacles everything was great. Recommend the Barbacoa tacos! Beautiful day to have the outdoor seats and just walk up and order.“

“Our anniversary...great staff...the hostess was more than accommdating to move our table from middle to room to side so I wouldn't panic..thank you! Our server Gera(sorry dont know spelling) was so attentive to detail and very friendly...thanks for everything“

“My daughter and I enjoyed a Mothers Day lunch here together. The food was fresh and tasty. We shared a strawberry salad and hamburger. Kitchen kindly split the entrees for us in back. Nice wine offerings and mimosas. Popovers came out fresh from the oven served with their strawberry butter- yummy!“

“Went there yesterday with my husband for our anniversary dinner. The decor and atmosphere is lovely. We had a drink at the bar before getting a table for dinner. All staff were super friendly and courteous. I had the Perch Piccata which was amazing. It was a very large portion so I had plenty to take home for another meal. My husband enjoyed his Bolognese which was also a very large portion. Highly recommend this place and will definitely go back soon.“

“Dude. We went here last night…AMAZING. Food was great. Drinks were great. Music was A VIBE. I feel bad I don’t remember the server’s name who was outside on the patio, but genuinely some of the best service I’ve ever had, and I worked in the industry for 10+ years. He made great recommendations, was running his butt off, and just overall did a great job. You guys keep doing exactly what you’re doing. We’ll definitely be back!!“

“Bravo for lunch is the best. They have decent portions and the price is reasonable. The wait staff is very friendly and efficient. Just a nice place to eat overall at The Village of Rochester Hills“

“Fun casual dining- great food, good service!“

“My friends and I absolutely love dining at Madam Restaurant in the heart of Birmingham city. The vibe is always amazing, and a big part of that is Ocean, the restaurant manager. He consistently takes such great care of us and makes every visit feel special.
We recently tried some of the new menu items, and they were definitely worth it—fresh, flavorful, and something a little different from the usual. The happy hour is exceptional, and ordering a variety of appetizers to share is always our go-to.
An all-around fantastic experience every time. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“My friend recommended this place and said how authentic the food was and how pretty it is. Graciela waited on us today and we had excellent service. The guacamole, different salsas and food was very good. I appreciate having several vegan options when going out and this did not disappoint. The food was so fresh! We will be coming back for sure!“
