“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.“

“Outstanding happy hour experience today! Love the atmosphere and the menu. Margaritas were yummy. Service was great.“

“Came to town to celebrate my cousin's upcoming wedding and I stopped here with her for some cocktails. 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 :)“

“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!“

“Great service and the food was delicious had a slim jim and a grilled hamberger with French fries. Our car broke down in there parking lot and the employees were so very helpful trying to help get it started before the tow truck came. We will definitely go back.“

“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“

“The perfect atmosphere for networking, live band, and socializing. I attend weekly and the people are amazing! 💕❤💕“

“Everything was great. Great musician. Food was good. Drinks were great. Nice ambiance. We did not get served right away, waited 10-15 min to get served. A table that sat after us were attended to first. If not that, I would have left a 30% tip vs 20%.“

“I had a pleasant experience with this place. All of the food seemed fresh, the service is attentive and the atmosphere is very vibrant.

The 2 times in which I went, our group sat outside, being that it was summer. They had trivia, which I assume is every Wednesday.

As for food, I got the caprese sandwich on the first occasion and the then the Tomato basil soup on the second. Both were good but the caprese sandwich was very good. While the menu is not huge, it does offer the basics and has a few healthier options, such as vegan dishes.

Overall, the atmosphere and food qualiy make this place worth checking out.“

“Outstanding experience! Humidor manager, Jim, was smart, friendly and knowledgeable.“

“Outstanding food and service! We enjoyed Happy Hour and the bubbly drinks were spot on! It was an unexpected surprise and great seeing Manager Frank running the show - one of the best leaders in the industry! We will absolutely be back and also refer our guests from the Royal Park Hotel to visit R H House! Highly Recommended and wonderful atmosphere as well!“

“I have been a long time customer of Unwined and will be a forever customer. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the food selections are delicious and there is a wine, cider or beer option for everyone’s palate.
This place is truly one of my favorite local hang outs and I come to many of the events that they have; whether it’s trivia, in house bingo, music bingo or game nights. I love it here! Cheers!“

“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 😊“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“The atmosphere is amazing; your eyes will wander around to try to see everything. The food was delicious; we had brunch. The service was poor; it took over 15 minutes for someone to bring us water and take our drink order. Our server was very slow (not the same person who took our drink order); we had to ask another server to get her for us so we could ask questions about our bill.“

“First time visiting and I will definitely be back. Staff were efficient and friendly. My food and drink was excellent!“
