    The experience from start to finish was less than ideal. The hostess was missing for about seven minutes. One curt server told us only the hostess could seat people. When she finally arrived she went to seat our party of four at a two top with only one chair. Our server was a nice person but I feel like she needs some additional training or assistance. There was a lack in common sense service. Drinks took forever to come out, could never get a proactive refill or coffee or water, our soups came out after our entrees, Accompaniments did not come out with entrees. The mushroom soup lacked flavor this time around. One person in our party ordered chicken and waffles, and our sever didn’t bring the syrup. We were finally able to flag her down to ask for more syrup and she said she would bring it out, but instead went to go clear tables instead. So needless to say the dish was was cold by the time we finally got the syrup. It was clear there is a lack of leadership with the team, based on the service, steps of service, and lack of table visits from a floor manager. I’ve had brunch at the location many times, it used to be fantastic! Lately it seems that each experience gets worse.

    A hidden gem in the Detroit area!! The restaurant is so charming and fun!! It is eye candy — just like their sister store, Leon and Lulu! The lunch menu was perfect and our beet salad was delicious!!

    The staff is very friendly. The decor is quirky and fun, some consisting of mementos of the history of the location. The food is amazing! They have a soup flight, which is ingenious and should be way more common. The short ribs, horse radish mashed potatoes, and green beans were tremendous! I definitely want to go back.

    3 Cats is a great place for lunch as always. The service was great. The choices for food are wonderful and it is always well prepared. The interior is fun and playful. Can't wait to go again.

    This Clawson restaurant in an old theatre has a cool vibe and interesting artifacts. The bar is intimate and retro. They were short-staffed but gracious, and we didn't mind waiting. The food is good but not exceptional. We'll return, but it won't be in our frequent dining rotation.

    Love this place! It never disappoints. Butternut squash soup was delicious. Beet salad was also good, would have liked more beets however.

    Very interesting ambiance. I have been there few times, and the food was just ok this time. The service thought was awful. I brought in friends from Canada, and wanted to show them this interesting place, but felt so embarrassed when the waiter treated us very poorly. He never smiled once, and he looked like he just hated to even be there. Very disappointing.

    Our first time here and we can't get back soon enough! The atmosphere is so fun and eclectic. The menu is interesting, and well executed. You MUST visit their store next door.
