3 of us met for dinner at this location. The other two split calamari as an appetizer and said it was good. The bread that came out to the table was actually really good - the inside was warm and fluffy and matched well with the herby butter. I could have eaten a ton of it. I had crab stuffed shrimp and it was meh. I didn’t like that the sauce was totally covering the shrimp so I couldn’t even see them. And since they still had tails on it was very messy trying to eat them. I couldn’t even tell that there was any stuffing. They were a tad overcooked so it had that rubbery feeling. The green beans and potato sides were actually good. I just wasn’t happy with the shrimp. The service was a tad slow, but he was very nice. Be aware that they automatically charge an 18% gratuity - I normally tip very well but this was a little off putting. I felt like it was already overpriced for what you got.

The food at this restaurant was incredible—everything was perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. We also took advantage of the lunch specials, which were a great deal. The service was excellent, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Just a heads-up, they do add an 18% gratuity to the bill, so be mindful of that. Overall, I highly recommend this spot and will definitely return whenever I'm back in Detroit!

First and foremost, love this place! It’s been around for over 20 years and only has gotten better in time, in my opinion. Food is a lot better, friendly wait staff, etc. However, I’m not sure what the deal is with the manager. Dark skin scruffy looking guy who looks like he wants to be anywhere else but there. This is not my first time noticing but my last visit I wanted to compliment my service and experience but when requested, he was apparently “too busy” though he was the only one there and I just wanted a quick minute… but outside of that, service was amazing. Food, 10/10! Didn’t get a drink this time because i was told there wasn’t a bartender there yet, sadly. The building is still new but could use some updates, does music play during lunch? faintly heard. Haven’t stopping coming here, probably not ever. Love it here!
