    I was really excited about this place, but the food was pretty mediocre. We got the roasted cabbage, beef empanadas, cacio e pepe dip, and the short rib. The cabbage was definitely the star of the show. The short rib, however, was very chewy. The beef empanadas were dry and had a fishy taste to them - very strange. The drinks were very overpriced for what they were. The vibe was very cool, but I think that Nettare needs to step up if they want to compete with other trendy restaurants in the neighborhood with much better food (e.g., Maxwell's Trading). I don't think I would return again, unfortunately.

    Felt like they were trying too hard to be on theme and missed on the food entirely. Drinks were okay on average. Service was good, but overall value was poor. They have some kinks to work out before I’d go back again.

    Really had a wonderful meal at a place with a really cool vibe! The trout was amazing, as was the boneless leg of lamb! The fennel salad was great! Great decor. And an interesting selection of good wines, all from Michigan! (Yes, I eas surprised that those words would even come out of my mouth - and I’m from Michigan!) This place deserves all the 5-star ratings it gets!

    We absolutely love Nettare! Without fail, we have the best service, food, and drinks. The vibes are excellent, although it is a bit noisy at peak times. Couldn't recommend more!

    Always leave here full and happy. Nettare's menu is delightful, delicious, and there's always something new to try. The staff is wonderful, talented, and fun. I recommend sitting at the chef's counter, to watch the magic happen

    I was excited to have happy hour at the bar on a Friday! Beautiful design and excellent staff. A great spot in the neighborhood. Prices are a bit high outside the happy hour menu, so be prepared to spend some money. I only had happy hour snacks and a happy hour salad with a couple of cocktails. The mushroom bread was delicious! The salad was good. My friends and I loved it and will surely be back.
