   Wanted to treat my husband someplace nice for his birthday. When we arrived (6pm reservation) the entry to the restaurant cordoned off by a “please wait to be seated” sign and roped barrier. Besides us, there was only one other couple in the whole restaurant (not sure who they were trying to keep out). Service was very slow - our waitress was sitting at the bar on her phone. When she finally came over we started to place a food and drink order. She informed us they were out of the first food item we ordered (out of it or never had it??… the restaurant was empty). She then informed us they were out of several other food items on their menu (mind you, they have a small menu to start with). We decided to leave and go someplace else. The view might be great - but- I won’t be going back. The atmosphere was very uninviting.. felt like the staff was hoping for no guests that evening.

   Overall nice cocktail lounge with a classic ambiance. Good drink and snack selection. They had trouble with our reservation during a busy evening.

   Love this place for its cocktails and the ambience. Not to mention the amazing views of Detroit. One of my favorite bars for sure!

   We came hungry thinking we were having dinner but they only serve small bites. Pretty expensive appetizers and drinks. Ambience is nice and relaxing, has lounge vibes. We were seated indoors on couches and chairs with small tables, not at a traditional style table. We had to put our appetizer plates on our laps. Would only go back to grab drinks.

   Gregory is the best! I absolutely love having him as my server. He always takes the best care of everyone.

   Wanted to communicate with the restaurant and it was impossible. Nobody answers the phone during business hours. Wanted to talk to someone to arrange possibly a private area for a couple that got engaged and we wanted to surprise them. Wanted to ask questions about bringing balloons, cake etc. and couldn’t get answers. Since no response I just went ahead on Open Table to make a normal reservation. I did receive one email response finally with only one option for $800. Since it was just 8 of us I needed a smaller option but received no response back about that. Wrote notes in comment box on Open Table about special occasion we were celebrating. Nobody read it and didn’t know what the occasion was when we arrived. When I first arrived they would not let me go up the elevator until most of my party was there which was frustrating. I asked at check in if we had a high top table as indicated on reservation and it was the only option at booking. The lady said that was my only option and I had no choice because everything was booked. I didn’t say to her but really wanted something more intimate for our surprise party. Then when we were seated it was couches and intimate like I wanted. So not sure if the person at check in really knows what they are talking about. Overall I just felt ignored and not important.

   Seated right away, with reservation, but it took a very long time to order drinks. Staff didn't know common liquor types, which is surprising considering the complexity of the drinks. The drinks were good, though, and the atmosphere is nice.
