    Three of five fully enjoyed their meals. The veal, unfortunately, resembled a veal steak instead of scallopini, way too thick to fully enjoy the sauces. Still one of our favourite places when we are in Detroit.

    The charcuterie board was very average. The salad was old and wilted. The dinners were good. Great sea bass.

    Great atmosphere from the beautiful display of lights outside welcoming you to the seating in the front room. Our entrees were all delicious, well prepared – the appetizer of calamari was a bit over fried and tough tochew but everything else ordered was very good. The drink menu is amazing right now. Our server was outstanding. It was a great place to enjoy a meal with good friends during the holidays.

    Our waiter was very knowledgeable I ordered the Rasta pasta and it was to spicy to eat. A friend at the table ordered Cajun pasta and hers was just fine. Just keep that in mind. Other than that. Everything was good

    $375 for 3 entrees, drinks, and a small dessert?! Insane pricing for mediocre food.

    I really like this restaurant however, I was very disappointed at how disgusting and dirty the bathrooms were this time.

    Fine place. But honestly the food was over priced. It was decent food don't get me wrong I ordered the almost which was salmon, broccoli and mashed potatoes. Priced at $48 was definitely way too much for that dish. The other options in the menu were all pretty expensive as well. Cute decor in the front (maybe a little overdone) but the women's bathroom was pretty messy, and looked half renovated. Also would have liked to be able to park ourselves and not have to pay for valet. Has pretty good reviews on social media but honestly i definitely won't be back.

    Food was delicious and a good value. Service was a little slow because there were some large parties in the restaurant
