                                                      Te raspberry gummy bear drink was delicious! They were out of tenderloin so that was a bummer for me. I had the chicken caprece instead & it was delicious. We got the Brussel sprouts appetizer. I do not recommend that. It was like a gallon of salt was put in it. Super cute place will definitely go back.

                                                      It wasn't very busy on a Wednesday night. I reserved the upper deck, but I was told we can't sit up there because there was a party. There were only a few groups there eating. The food was good, but nothing to write home about. The fries were kind of bland and my burger was dense and little dry. The steak tips were good but the sauce had a strange flavor. The drinks we ordered were good. Overall it just seemed like a lot of money for an experience worse than I could get at a hopcat in terms of food at least. The ambiance overall was good because it was quiet, but there also weren't many people in there.

                                                      Nice place to go for a good dinner. Food was good and service was as expected. They have a good variety of appetizers on the menu along with burgers but nothing outstanding. I tried the Michigan salad with salmon and the fish was dry and overcooked. Burgers were delicious. I like that islets not over priced as some places downtown. The vibe is casual and comfortable. Will definitely go back.

                                                      Our reservation was easy to schedule and adjust. The greeter, our server, the food, everything was just perfect!

                                                      Not great not terrible. If you’re looking for slightly better bar food at a high price it’s ok.
