“Went on a busy Tigers opener and had to park on the street, parking lot was full. Nice drink specials and wait staff got to us fast considering how crowded it was. Ordered an Italian calzone and a Philly Cheese Steak calzone and they were delicious. Had we knew how big they were we would have ordered one and split it, but we have lunch for tomorrow. Good experience all the way around at Tony J’s. 😋“

“The Charlevoix is a fantastic local restaurant with an evolving menu that perfectly embraces the seasons. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great place to catch a game and meet locals who are always eager to share their love for the town.

We started our visit with a couple of cocktails expertly crafted by the bartender 'Peaches.' They were not only priced well but also absolutely excellent! Each drink was a delight, and we found ourselves wanting to try more.

While we didn't sample the food this time, we're excited to return and explore the menu. The locals were more than happy to share their favorites, giving us some great recommendations for our next visit.

Overall, The Charlevoix offers a wonderful blend of quality drinks, a welcoming atmosphere, and a sense of community that makes it stand out. We can't wait to go back.“

“Great food options for a smallish bar. There is a chef there during week (Tues-Fri?) who offers handwritten menu of specials. We had the baked meatballs (delicious) and the Cajun shrimp scampi (added more heat). One of our favorite places for smaller group dinners!“

“Stopped in for breakfast, will definitely return for lunch and dinner. The French Omlette was delicious! Large portions, tasty food, great coffee, as I drink mine black, that's real coffee☺️
The staff is welcoming and friendly. If you're in the area, you need to stop here for your next meal.“

“Good atmosphere, great food and awesome bartenders“

“This was our first time here at Host. We love our server Danica. She was very attentive and brought us a treat for our friend birthday!
I really love the concept here with rotating chefs every 6-8 weeks. Definitely coming back for dinner.
If you were contemplating on coming here, this is your sign to come and request for Danica!

Our favorite was the Breakfast Quesadilla!“

“New Chef Dylan is brilliant! This is not your old lackluster Bronze Door. We have dined at all of the incarnations of this restaurant going back to the original Bronze Door in the 70s - today’s dinner was by far the best meal we have ever had there! The new menu is imaginative without being gimmicky and the execution was superb! We almost did not eat there tonight based on previous experiences but they are close to home and we wanted to dine early. So glad we did! Every dish we had was superb! So happy to know that the Bronze Door finally has a chef and menu that it deserves.“

“My friend and I had lunch at Coriander Kitchen and Farm yesterday 6/23. We came back because we enjoyed our first visit last year so much! However, at this visit the food was not so good. I ordered fish and chips and my fish was overcooked and the french fries were not hot. My friend ordered smelt which were awful and greasy which we sent back. We asked for lemon which never came to the table and our waiter seem to be the only one there and they were busy so I don't think we got the attention that we were due. I know this establishment can do better, so I will be going back. But yesterday's service and food were awful.“

“Great bar and very friendly people here. The neighborhood is such a great place!“

“Great food, service and management.“

“stopped by for a quick lunch. Sandwich was great service. amazing“

“My wife ordered on Door Dash. One of the best Cuban sandwiches I've had. Gonna have to check the place out in person“

“The food and service was excellent!!! The stuffed salmon is a must!! The bartender customer service was impeccable.“

“Pastaio is a wonderful addition to the Grosse Pointe dining scene. The space feels warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed—perfect for a relaxed night out that still feels a little special. The food was delicious, with so many great options that make it hard to choose just one favorite. Everything we ordered was beautifully prepared and full of flavor.

I also loved seeing a well-thought-out mocktail menu. It’s such a nice touch and something that feels very current and inclusive—whether you’re not drinking that night or just want something fun and intentional beyond water or soda.

One of my favorite features of the space is the semi-private area in the back. It’s ideal for hosting—intimate enough to feel special, but still connected to the energy of the restaurant. You can tell this is a place designed with gathering in mind, which I always appreciate.“

“Ummmm the smash burgers and dill garlic fries are to DIE for! Photos don’t do them justice. We’re not known to travel more than just around the corner for a quick bite unless we plan on it, but this is worth the last minute 25-30 min drive from where we live. Delicious food. Great staff!“

“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 husband and I love going to Stray Cat Lounge for date nights—we’ve been there countless times! The live music is always so much fun, with a great variety of styles. They have an excellent drink selection, and I especially love ordering a chocolate martini from Nick, the bartender, who makes fantastic drinks. We also enjoy smoking cigars while we’re there.

The atmosphere is lively and fun, with cool cat-themed decorations that give the lounge a unique vibe. Whether it’s a date night or a night out with friends, I highly recommend Stray Cat Lounge!“

“What a lovely place to grab brunch! The atmosphere and the service was great! I’m glad they are in our community! I highly recommend you swing in here to enjoy an incredible meal!“

“First time visiting yesterday. We came in at lunchtime with a group of 12. Service was great and food was amazing! Awesome lunch specials. We will be back!“

“Our usual date night choice! And everything was perfect again tonight, just like always! Dianna was a great waitress! I wanted to talk to the manager & tell them how great she was. But we had ro get going! We definitely recommend this location!“

“Food is always good! The Lentil Soup is the best!! We get it by the quart to go!!!!! So Good!!!!! Rice Pudding is Delicious! Picking up an order for dinner tonight!!!“

“Really liked the food BUT now that the pizza and calzones have been taken off the menu I doubt that my family of 6 will be eating there as often as before (8 visits in the past year). The removed items were really, really good. Sorry to see them gone.“

“Jessica was amazing!!!!!! Great service Delicious food Outstanding drinks!!!!!!!!“

“My children took me there to have a birthday dinner celebration. I really enjoyed the food the waitress also the atmosphere. Great Job to the CEO and staff👍🙌“

“Fried in beef tallow, sour dough buns and quality ingredients all around with everything house made and flavors that slap. Hands down best food and service.“
