Maryanne was our server. She was exceptionally helpful in describing some of the salad options. She was very attentive. Brittany was most engaging and added to the great time.

Went with a group of girlfriends after a chili night at the Detroit Zoo Lights. Love the holiday drinks and the food is always amazing. This time Ed had a vegan with us and she loved the variety on the menu. We will be back!
