    We had reservations for Valentines dinner. We walked in and the music, the saxophone player was so incredibly loud. We couldn’t even hear each other, they put us by the Sax player- 7 feet away and the front door and it’s 12° out. We couldn’t hear each other talk. We couldn’t hear the waitress and they ruined our Valentines. So we left. The waitress was really nice though, she was very apologetic So happy Valentine’s Day

    Food was very good and the service was excellent for such a big group: everything we got was good but we love the ceviche, elote flatbread and chorizo flatbread. Definitely will be back soon

    I was so disappointed that it was not decorated for Christmas. I assumed it would be and made reservations there because we went once before and the food and service was great.

    This place is a hidden gym! We just happen to hear about it on Facebook and thought we would try it! We went for brunch. It was nice and quiet. The service was phenomenal. Our waitress was literally, the best we’ve had in Michigan and I’m not exaggerating. I even told the owner that. The food was beautifully presented, and it was absolutely delicious We highly- highly recommend this restaurant

    Our brunch experience was terrific! The choice of items were so diverse and appealing. We all enjoyed for different meals. Also the music entertainment, which was a bonus for the holidays.
