They have a small food menu and 3 of their most popular dishes were out of stock. It left us with very few options to eat so we had to go somewhere else to eat which was frustrating.

This was our first visit to Nettare and we had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. My friend loved the brunch punch and I loved the "my bloody valentine" latte which was perfectly balanced deliciousness. My friend commented that the croque monsieur was the best he'd ever had while I delighted in the smoked trout toast. We both appreciated the sizes of the plates which were perfect for a lite brunch. We will definitely be back

Food was outstanding, with a big call out on the venison. Service is relaxed but helpful. Place is cozy and elegantly casual. Staff was helpful with choosing the predominantly Great Lakes wines, which we were pleasantly impressed by. Highly recommend.

Perfect neighborhood bistro spot. The wait staff is attentive and friendly. Cocktails are incredibly well made. Absolutely loved the chickpea fritters and the cassoulet. Really romantic vibe for a quiet Valentine’s Day dinner!
