“I had such a great experience at Aurora, and Alana made it even better. She was so sweet, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we sat down. She checked on us at the perfect times, made sure everything came out right, and had such a positive attitude throughout the whole service. You can tell she really cares about her guests and takes pride in what she does. I would definitely come back and ask for Alana again!“

“food was absolutely amazing! service was on point and attentive and friendly! and, what an awesome atmosphere! cozy and fun!“

“Exceptional service and food was delicious. We left Aurora on the Lake due to obnoxiously loud Arabic music and people smoking cigarettes on the balcony. Not the atmosphere you expect from an fine dining Italian restaurant. Aria was a breath of fresh air. We chose to sit outside. The only reason I gave 4 stars for the atmosphere is the occasional loud vehicle passing by on 14 Mile. No fault of theirs really. Too bad Aurora has the better location-they don't deserve it“

“Great thin pizza - cooked quickly in a wood fire oven - salad was very fresh“

On top of it all the 7 course meal was delicious! Highly recommend for any event.“

“what a wonderful experience we had at Cafe Cortina! from the complimentary valet, to the matre'd and all of the staff. The food was excellent, the ambiance perfect, and our guardian angel, Besnik, provided excellent suggestions all throughout the night! He never rushed us, and never hovered, he was just magically there whenever we needed anything. It was a perfect dinning expirence and we are grateful for it!“

Everything was so tasty and still hot when I got home. We cannot wait to try all the other items. Very friendly service and it didn't take long at all for my order.“

“Amazing food, great prices, friendly staff, pretty much everything.“

Dinner salads were even yummy, crisp, fresh vegetables and the dressing was so good! We all enjoyed different meals, eggplant parm, lemon dill salmon, chicken parm, and pasta pesto. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinners, ate too much, and recommend this restaurant AND server to anyone looking for a great place!“

“We had and event here. The staff was wonderful and incredibly helpful. We had a buffet - I am not typically a fan of buffets but it was excellent - tender and flavorful beef, delicious grilled vegetables, fresh salad and other delicious items. The atmosphere inside is lovely but the view of the lake is spectacular. Would recommend people to go enjoy meal here. Or hold an event.“

“We have been going to this restaurant since 2019. Service is always great. We have tried several entrees over the years and have settled on a few favorites. My wife's is the Tortellini alla Panna. If I'm hungry enough I get the very tender and tasty Braised Short Ribs with Strozzapreti Pasta. If not as hungry, I go with the Lasagna alla Bolognese. We also share a dessert. Our favorite is the Tuxedo Cake which is perfect to share for 2 after those generous-portioned entrees.“

“We give Lelli’s on The Green 5 STARS for tremendous food and even better service! Everything for our party was perfect and we are grateful to Mark Zarkin and Arie for making sure we were so well taken care of to celebrate a very special birthday with just a few close friends and family. We highly recommend it for some of the finest dining around! Thank you Mark and Arie for being such gracious hosts and making it extra special.

The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great meal and a warm atmosphere!

“Great value for the money. Well priced. I ordered the Endless Soup, Bread, and Salad Lunch meal for less than $11:00. Choice of 4 types of soup. My favorite was Pasta e Fagioli which was a delicious red and white bean soup with pasta - delicious. With this deal you get to try 4 different soups. My partner tried the Lasagna and was well pleased. Good bang for the buck, this is much better deal than burger, fries, and a drink! I will be visiting more often.“

“I usually go to Roman Village in Dearborn, but I was in the area with my family and decided to try Antonio’s — and I’m glad we did! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the host, Malak, who was extremely professional, sweet, and welcoming. Even though there was about a 10-minute wait, she explained everything to us and made us feel very comfortable while we waited.
The food was very, very good, and the service was excellent. Our server, Raul, was amazing — very friendly, attentive, and nice throughout the entire experience.
Overall, we had a great dine-in experience and would definitely recommend Antonio’s to anyone looking for great food and outstanding customer service!“

“Love the Ravioli and wing dings. I wish they would open at 1pm instead of 4pm. I do not like to eat after 6pm. And the type of food they serve I would like to get around noon. Usually I get hungry and end up going elsewhere like Valentino's.“

“I ordered o line & there was a glitch where my card was charged, but the order didn’t go thru on Buddy’s end. I thought I was gonna be screwed & have to take it up with my card company or wait & see if the charge fell off, but Buddy’s did right by me and made the pizza for me I had ordered online“

“What a wonderful man running the place! And delicious pizza too! 😍 thank you for the wonderful experience!“

“I recently stopped by Nino’s Italian Bakery and had another really great experience. The donuts were fresh, soft, and perfectly sweet — especially the ones with sprinkles and chocolate frosting. You can tell they’re made with care.

The coffee was hot, smooth, and a perfect match with the donuts. The customer service was friendly and welcoming, and the staff always make you feel appreciated.

Over the past few years, we’ve been going there regularly, and they have always been excellent. It’s consistent quality every time.

Overall, a great local spot for donuts and coffee. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in Walled Lake. I’ll be back again!“

“Had a random stop to this Coney during some volunteer work in the area and I was very happy to stop in. Food was great and would recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for some great coney that taste like that classic Top Detroit coney spots but out in Pontiac Michigan. Great service, great attitude, great food, even had to tip the waiter who helped because the attention and service was on point off top!!!!“

“I ordered cupcakes and a cake for my wedding reception. It was delicious!! The raspberry cream filling in the cake was to die for and everyone likes the cupcakes. They made my wedding cake how I envisioned it and couldn’t be happier!!“

“Great food and fast service“

“First time ordering pizza from there. Actually it was very good. We like to frequent Mom and Pop establishments only. Not the commercial pizza places (Jets, Happy's,Pizza Hut, Domino's, Hungry Howie's). We will definitely go again“

“Saw this place when I was at Panera bread. I stopped by and ordered a large pepperoni. I have to say it beats out all the large trash franchises. The young man taking my order was very nice“

“This is by far the best steak and cheese calzones, pizza and bread sticks I've had in a long while. It's in the back of a party store and there is no seating. Carryout. We come from Lansing every chance we get!! The people there are fantastic and thank us over and over for coming back!“

“In addition to the awesome pizza & subs-there’s a huge selection of salads! The wings at Benito’s are amazing, with several flavors to choose from. Also, the mostaccioli (w/meat sauce & parm/mozzarella cheese) is Incredible. You can even order cannoli here. Love the staff at Benito’s! 😊“

“Great pizza! Used the phone BOT and was VERY impressed!“

“Waited one hour to be seated. Was told it wood be 15-20 mins .there were kids running around the restaurant. With no supervision from management or parents. Didn’t wait . It will be a long time before I go back . So I went to Tomato Appizza right around the corner and had a great dinner. Bye bye buddy’s“

“No andes mints anymore? I didn't ask but it's been a long time and I thought you got little chocolate mints with your check. But we had to use an electronic kiosk to pay so maybe that's why. Anyways server called a dish by the wrong name so we sent it back but then it turns out it was the right dish all along, I asked for a new napkin cause I spilled sauce on my sweater and I never got a napkin... But otherwise I love olive garden food and our waiter was very nice! I would still eat here and recommend it 👍🏼“

“I enjoy eating here but find the service and food can be inconsistent. The food was pretty good this visit. We had wings, carrots and clams along with a couple of drinks. The seasonal margarita was delicious. Our server wasn't very attentive, especially considering there were o ly a few tables occupied and multiple servers.“

“Just a super high quality pizza. One of our fave pizza spots in Michigan!! If you thin crispy pizza this place is your go to. The Mediterranean delighte is one of our fave flavors. It’s a white sauce pizza which I don’t usually like but it just works on this pizza. We always default to pizza cutter when we are doing a pizza night with friends or for special occasions where we want pizza!“

“We have ordered there for years. Today 4/2/2020 was the best service we have ever gotten from order to delivery. Made EXACTLY how we wanted and PIPING HOT! Thank you to whoever made our pizza and wings and to the fastest delivery person! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU A+++! I am no longer hangry. 😃“

“There are a lot of Jets Pizza locations and over the years I’ve tried a few. It was a mistaken on line order that brought me to the Grand River location in Novi. This was the “best” mistake I ever made. The food is always cooked perfectly, orders always correct but the most impressive part of this store is the owner and his staff. There hasn’t been a time that the staff didn’t have a smile and truly treat each and every customer with the utmost respect and no matter how busy they are their smile and friendliness never fades. If you’re near that area or even if it’s not trust me it’s well worth the drive!“

“Awesome pizza. Great customer service. Food is fresh.“

“We had dinner at Tribu last weekend with another couple and it was one of the best dining experiences. Everything from the ambience, staff, customer service and all of their FOOD were exceptional!! The menu was a soft launch menu as it was their grand opening, but there were so many options that we ended up ordering multiple appetizers, entrees and all of the desserts! Everything was absolutely delicious. The duck wings, tagliatelle, and filet were so flavorful. Great food, great company and great atmosphere. Will definitely be back for more!“

“A really, really delicious deep dish pizza parlour. Every choice is good. Crispy crust, just enough sauce - our pepperoni tasted so good.

Low stars for atmosphere because it's a plain ole takeout space. But service was very friendly.“

“Food & customer service are great. I hope business picks up for them.“

“If you’re looking for authentic “Detroit Style” pizza, this is it. Square deep dish with a thick chewy crust and carmelized cheese that is crispy around the edges, and don’t even think about forgetting the sauce! So much flavor in the sauce! I love the classic pepperoni, but all the toppings are superb. You can’t beat the crunch of the crust with the melty creaminess of the cheese. This is an awesome pizza!“
