    Terrrrrrrible! Do not recommend at all! It is in a hotel and there were bugs, the place was empty on a Saturday evening, and the staff looked annoyed that we were there

    Had breakfast, lunch, and dinner here, each on different days. Food was great with large portions, and service was very friendly and remembered me.

    Very nice looking space. It was practically empty in the dining area. The menu was limited, but had some interesting items on it. The wings they brought for my 81 year old mother were slathered with buffalo sauce and she could not eat them. The brought her more wings without the sauce, but charged us for both orders. My wife's dish was supposed to have mushrooms, her dish did not have mushrooms in it. She informed the waitstaff and the server told her they had run out of mushrooms. The main reason she ordered the dish was for the mushrooms. Again, this dish was not removed from our bill. The waitstaff was certainly friendly but they were far too inattentive to their customers. I guess it's my fault for expecting fine dining service from a establishment that was less than fine dining.

    Service was terrible. We reserved for 6 people at 2pm, we were there at 2pm. They were rude when we entered. We were sat about 10 minutes later floor and chairs were dirty. The place was empty so not sure why we had to ask for menus and water. That was the last time we were greeted. We left with no service. Terrible experience!!!

    Well, Motor City Kitchen was NOT opened! They close at 11am although I was able to make a reservation for 1:15 through Opentable! Round Bar, the restaurant across the hall was open and we were able to eat there although this outing was for a Mother’s Day brunch and my party included my Mother along with 4 children with 3 being toddlers, so we weren’t too happy about dining in a hotel bar and potentially disturbing the other guest with the sounds of CoComelon playing on the kids iPad while they’re trying to down one at the bar. Additionally, the service was sub-par at best and food was even worse! Even though the place was half empty! Food came out late and in increments items were being missed toddlers wanting their pancakes my sister had asked to ask multiple times to also bring out, getting honey (without asking for it) in place of syrup because they were out and a huge sweaty kitchen attendant bring the food out….just terrible! A large party of older men & women got up and left because no one ever came to their table! The only plus was their truffle fries, those were good although they were a small little basket for $10 and these were on the appetizer menu. All and all me any my family will NEVER dine here again, our Mother’s Day meal was essentially ruined!

    All I can say is Chef Chris has a knack for creating amazing dishes!! My son Brandon had the sliders which he loved and I will definitely be trying those on my next visit!! The truffle fries and macaroni and cheese were some of the best I’ve ever had and the MCK strawberry vinaigrette on my salad was so delicious! My husband’s salmon was cooked perfect and so flavorful and Chef Chris knocked it out of the park with dessert. I can’t recommend the Mac and cheese enough and even tho it’s a shareable get your own …you won’t want to share!! Our server Jaclyn was amazing. She was so personable and friendly and always checking back with us. My son had worn his Special Olympics medals he had just won and he loved all the attention she gave him and the chef came out and congratulated my son too! What a wonderful experience will definitely be back!
