“we came in yesterday for a little family dinner. Danny, our server, was newly back to work at Pronto and I've never seen a server work so hard to accommodate people and ensure we were well cared for. the entire staff and clientele were so kind and encouraging. I spent most of the meal examining the lighting fixtures (there are so many!!!), and our family searched for disco balls (also SO MANY!). The food was amazing and the service was fast. we took our 14 year old there for dinner because they needed to see that there are safe, public spaces for them - and the awe and amazement in their eyes the whole time told me that we found our new "regular" spot. the music was fun, the service was spectacular, and the entire vibe was just lovely. and as a lighting nerd, they play with light beautifully, even during a routine dinner service. to the staff at Pronto - particularly Danny - thank you. as a mom trying to figure out how to best parent a child who isn't like me, you gave me immeasurable gifts last night. you gave my child hope for a future as an adult. we love the local youth programming available but it lacks a connection to adults who are thriving and living full, beautiful lives. seeing that in action was everything our kid needed and so much more. thank you.“

“I had such a great experience at Candado Tacos in Royal Oak! The food was amazing, but what really made our visit stand out was our server, Natalia. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we sat down.
Natalia was knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations, and checked in just the right amount to make sure everything was perfect without being overbearing. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers and takes pride in her work.
Because of her, our night felt extra special. I’ll definitely be coming back—and I’ll be asking for Natalia again!“

“Dublin Donkey drink was awesome.“

“We hosted our baby shower at D’Amato’s in December, and it was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. It’s such an amazing spot for a private, intimate event—we had around 50 guests, and the space was perfect. The entire process was seamless, the food was unbelievable, and the staff truly went above and beyond to make the day special. Everything exceeded our expectations, and our guests are still talking about how wonderful it was. I would highly recommend D’Amato’s for any special occasion!“

“Great food, great service. Our group order the chicken pot pie, burger, onion rings, and Ruben. All great!“

“The perfect, laid back place to enjoy amazing food and delicious cocktails! I am obsessed with the pineapple mule, the make their own infused pineapple vodka. The live jazz on Thursdays is the perfect reason to make this a weekly visit!“

“You always feel welcome here.“

“Food is good. Don't get a pop though. They charged $5 for a full glass of ice with a splash of Coke. Will never order a pop from there again. She never came to ask about refill either. Ridiculous!“

“Great place, great food, great bartender!! Didn’t catch her name, but went in on 3/18 around 4 PM. Will be back!“

“Great service and food!👍🏻🍻“

“Some of the best tacos we have had in Metro Detroit. Way better than Condado's. I would highly recommend, but would be apprehensive so there was always a spot ready for me. The staff was just as equally amazing too. Thank you. 10/10 all day!!“

“A great spot for a date night or to bring the whole group. We got in quickly with our reservations, seated promptly and the staff was exceptional. Hannah was our server for our party of 6 and got us everything we needed without missing a beat. The music was great and had us entertained and singing along. We ordered different kinds of food, all tasting great and exceeding our expectations. Try this place out!“

“I belong to a group that has a regular meeting in July every year. This is the Second year in a row that we held it at 5th Ave. We had our event there this past Saturday and 5th Ave knocked it out of the park just as they did last year!

Megan set us up just as asked, and the venue was perfect for our members to converse and meet up! The staff was very friendly and helpful! What really stood out was the flatbread pizzas. Our membership was raving about the great pizzas!

We will defiantly have our event there again next year if they will have us!“

“We ended up stopping at this restaurant for a dine in at 1:00 pm. The employees there was very nice and respectful. The food (Chef's Burger and Fries) was delicious and fresh. It wasn't even busy on a Monday at 1:00 pm, but the atmosphere was positively good 😊. I will visit this location again 😊“
