    Such a great place! Food is consistently delicious. Great drinks and even better service. Weekdays are more relaxed than the weekend hustle bustle…where you may feel pushed to eat and move on. I ate there this week Saturday with 6 people @11; true brunch with lots of drinks. It was very busy with many waiting. We were seated immediately at our reservation time - smooth service attentive but not invasive. portions large, monte cristo had home cooked ham! Tuesday ate there again with 4 people at 9 am for just a regular breakfast. It was very Quiet,so a different vibe, had an oat milk latte (with a heart!) eggs and toast. Just right!

    We made a reservation, but it didn’t seem to get us seated any faster than the walk-ins. There was dispute of the whole party needed to be there before being sat, which is understandable. However, one person in our party was delayed, and the restaurant made us wait to be sat until our last attendee arrived. They had a time limit on how long the table could be in the restaurant which started the moment I checked in for our reservation. The restaurant then made us wait until the last attendee arrived in order for us to be seated. For context, we had a party of the four and three of the attendees were at the restaurant and had to wait to be seated.

    We were in town looking for a safe place for my celiac daughter to eat, and she absolutely loved the huge Mickey shaped pancake.

    We had brunch on Boxing Day before a show. It was great. We had a reservation and when we arrived we were seated early even though the Cafe was packed. The atmosphere is perfect for the location. It’s in the heart of Detroit and shares an urban vib. The service was outstanding and was very attentive but not intrusive. The food is the centre piece. great flavours, fresh from the kitchen (it was still hot!!!!!). Come ready to eat because the portions are ample. We will be coming back!

    Second year for family xmas brunch and unlike the first year we were rushed along. There were two December birthdays at the table (16th and 27th) and yet our waiter just said happy bday when we told him while the other tables were celebrated with a desert and candles. While we were chatting and finishing up our meals, the hostess came over with a "five minute warning" to wrap it up because others were waiting. We had a reservation and we were there on time. We were not told that we had a time limit to eat, chat, and get out prior to sitting BECAUSE if we did, I would have never booked this place a second year. For this, we will be looking for another venue to take our party. As far as the food, its just ok. It really is the location, just minutes from Campus Martius with the holiday lights and tree.
