   Waited 15 mins after we got there to be seated (with reservations) Were told twice the people in front of us were cashing out. Requested a high top, seated at a lower table (with high top’s available). Food was honestly just mediocre. Ordered a filet (medium). Top half gray, bottom pink. Service was rather slow. I usually side with the servers, but the bar was the only part busy. Might be a good spot to have a couple of drinks outside in the summer.

   Overall Great Experience for Date Night! Had a nice bottle of Daou Cabernet with Mark at the bar. We enjoyed a great Ribeye and Filet with my wife. Peanut butter cup was do die for!

   Service and food were terrible. Employees seemed like they didn’t want to work there. Food was cold. It is a shame as I remember going here years ago and really wanted to enjoy it. It is such a beautiful location but the renovations they did seem like an 80’s nightclub.

   I had a very disappointing experience. I ordered a burger cooked medium, but what I received was hard as a rock and burnt to a crisp. The fries were soggy, cold, and completely unappetizing. To make matters worse, they charged $20 for this subpar meal! The service was equally bad—our server was completely absent and had to be flagged down every single time we needed something. The lack of attention and care really added to the frustration. Overall, the place leaves much to be desired. With poor food quality and terrible service, I cannot recommend this restaurant and won’t be returning.

   I reserved a high-top table and confirmed it.When we got there, they directed us to a low-top table and said they had a large party that took precedence over my 2 people reservation. The table was right next to the performers amplifier's so I asked for another option. We got re-seated in the center of the brightest area of the restaurant, hardly the ambience we were looking for. The service was slow, my wifes salad arrived after her meal. A manager offered to assist he went in the kitchen and never came back with it. We got it to go. I asked for the bill, laid it on the table with my debit card and the waitperson failed to stop back to pick it up. I had cash on me, so we left it on the table. We would not go back here.

   The food was very good for the upscale sports bar menu choices. We requested to be seated in the dining area and had a reservation. As soon as we checked in we were ushered to a high top table in the bar area which was in a high volume noise area. We were immediately told we needed to be out by 8:00 pm. Not a great first impression to have reservations, not be seated in the dining area we requested and then immediately told we had a time limit to eat our New Years dinner.

   Enjoyed a Monday night Lions game at Gino's. They have a handful of game time specials that start at kickoff.

    Food and service was wonderful. There was a football game on, and it was LOUD. Very difficult to hear people talking at the table. The volume was way too high. It would have been nice to at least mute the commercials. We felt like we were at a sports bar, not a restaurant.
