“Cannot go to bed tonight without writing this review first. Sat at the bar and service was impeccable. Bartender/waitstaff really knew the menu well. Ordered the trout, beet salad, and gnocchi all of which were flavorful and texturally perfect. For dessert, ordered the upside down carrot cake and pavlova. Ate every last bite even though we were already full. We will be coming back and bringing friends!“

“I can't remember my waiter but he was fantastic! I met Gordon (GM) who I told I had been there 3 times in the last handful of weeks and he showed us a lovely time. Eventually he introduced me to Jim Lutfy who let our party of 7 sample 4 desserts. Once again the pork chop and grits were amazing.“
“We came here for our anniversary and had a good experience. I loved the staycation cocktail, the calamari and the the sea scallops were the best I’ve ever had. Sadly the lamb appetizer was over cooked and the prime rib was chewy. Not great. It was also served with burnt hummus. Our waitress was good to me but seemed irritated with us that the steak wasn’t great. We won’t be rushing back any time soon. But we love Detroit and trying new restaurants.“
“Tara was our waitress and she was the best waitress I have ever had in my entire life, and I’m a chef so I’ve come across a lot of waitresses in my lifetime. We rarely come in here due to horrible waitresses in the past, but if Tara will be here I will continue to come in. What a fantastic asset she is to this establishment. And the food was fantastic today as well. Great job Hometown Grill!!“
“Exceptional, one of my favorite places in the world.Already on the outside there is a 'wow effect'...but what about the inside?This place not only immerses us in a sumptuous era but also brings a special atmosphere.The service is exceptional.The prices are absolutely fair, and it's great.“
“My husband and I had dinner here tonight, and we were both absolutely blown away. Every course was incredible. The presentation was beautiful. Staff was attentive, helpful, and very friendly. This was an incredible elevated dining experience that will be remembered for a long time.“
“Oh.M.Gee....this place is amazing!! Really loved my dinner last night!! What did we have? BREAD & BUTTER 8 house sourdough, seasonal butter We started with the bread and butter. Their homemade sourdough bread was filled with all kinds of yummy grains and rivaled anything I had in Europe. It was served with cherry-jam butter, which was ok in my mind--I would have been perfectly happy with salted butter. TWICE COOKED EGG* 14 werp farms' greens, brussels sprout, salty cheese, warm shallot vinaigrette The egg atop this salad was really interesting...they took a poached egg and dipped it and fried it. The Brussels sprouts in this salad were super flavorful. I really enjoyed it. The rest of what we had was not on the website for me to grab descriptions and cost. We also had mushroom spring rolls, which were so flavorful! The tiny mushrooms in the spring rolls (not fried, my favorite kind!) were accompanied by many other fresh vegetables and had a delicious dipping sauce. We also had some broccolini and the pork chop. That pork chop was also super flavorful accompanied by collard greens, grits and cornbread. All of this food was so filling I had to take most of the pork chop dish home for today. The service was outstanding. My water glass never went below the halfway mark, and we never had need to pour wine from the bottle because Megan, our waitress, was ON IT!! While the interior of this place is loud, I didn't find myself shouting to be heard. The whole place is painted chartreuse, just like the name. We wrapped all of this up with 2 tastes of chartreuse...the green one was more herbaceous, leaning toward savory, and the yellow chartreuse was sweet. I liked the yellow best and my boyfriend preferred the green. I will highly recommend and plan to come back sometime. Yum-o!! Overall, I'd highly recommend“
“My friends and I had a wonderful dinner! Brad was very attentive and pleasant, and kindly let us change our table to the booths. My friend is pregnant so the booth spot was perfect. We loved how everything tasted and had plenty of refills on the garlic bread. It was a delightful experience to end our eventful day.“
“Fantastic brunch. Definitely worth the wait. The staff were extremely friendly and the high quality food was quick. The Bacon Avo Omelette with their homemade biscuits was the perfect combination. Nice American diner style atmosphere. Would recommend again and again.“
“We had a great dinner experience. The many other reviews recommending the soft pretzel w/ beer cheese sauce are right on; it is one of the best pretzels ever. The burger with fries, and chicken wrap were good as well. The service was very friendly and speedy. We will definitely revisit!“
“My husband and I have dinner at Lumen at least every 4 to 5 weeks. Love the manager Rose and her staff Claire and Riley, to name a few. If we have a different wait staff taking care of us, these wonderful ladies will come over to our table to say hi.“
“This place was great. Probably the best meal I've had in a long time-service and food quality wise. Came to celebrate a birthday during a weeknight. Not too busy. A nice modern ambiance that still has some old styles to it including artwork. Open kitchen concept where you can see the prep work for your meal. Our table had the prime rib burgers and steak and frites. The burger was one of the best tasting burgers I have had in a long time and the steak was so tender!! Service was great, and although Olin has pricier items the portion sizes you get match the value. I would highly recommend this spot for date nights, double dates, post work drinks, and smaller celebrations!“
“Great visit on a recent trip. My wife and I visited three other local breweries and really enjoyed our stop here. The beer was very good! The fried calamari and grits was incredible! Our bartender was very friendly and inviting. Enjoyed our conversation during our stay. Will definitely come back again.“
“This will forever be my favorite spot in Detroit to splurge. Every time I go here I am amazed at the Chef's Choice preset menu. The cocktail and wine program is 12/10. Highly recommended.Vegetarian options: They ask about dietary restrictions when they greet you and all vegan and vegetarian dishes are clearly marked on the menuDietary restrictions: They ask about dietary restrictions when they greet you and all vegan and vegetarian dishes are clearly marked on the menuParking: Street parking only. Can get busy around 7pm“
“I walked over from the Greektown parking garage and went here prior to the Red Wings game on 2/27/2024. The two young ladies working behind the bar and also out on the floor were very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Tom, the shuttle bus driver, was terrific. I'll definitely be back!“
“The food speaks for itself, well prepared, and the coffee was excellent. The waitress that I had she was well mannered, she knew her stuff, and very informative.Parking: Handicapped accessible.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap accessible that includes walkers, wheelchairs, and canes. I can easily access out of my vehicle with my walker or cane without bumping or squeezeing into another vehicle.“
“Really cute bar with incredible service. I stopped here on a visit from out of town and I really liked the vibe. Steve was our bartender and he was one of my favorite parts of visiting- really welcoming and enjoyable conversation. I'm unsure if there is food since I stopped in late but the bar was full service and the people were great“
“Last time I went, i was seated upstairs by the window and it was COLD!!!!. This time, I insisted on first floor. I recommend the same for everyone because first floor has so much better atmosphere than the upper floors. I am paying big hunk of what I pay for atmosphere. Brunch food was.... OK. I mean nothing screamed out UNTIL i got to the prime rib. It was one of the better prime ribs I ever had. 5 star plus for PR and 3 for the rest of the food, therefore 4 stars for food.With that said, I was satisfied and would return again. The food is only a part of overall dining experience. We have plenty of cookie cutter or ever worse chain restaurants. Therefore, I think it is important to patronize gem of restaurants like this.“
“We love your restaurant and food, but we don’t like ordering online when we’re sitting in the restaurant. It’s like going through a drive through. We prefer speaking to a real person, one who is able to answer questions about the menu.“
“Fabulous experience! As a City fan, we went to watch City v Arsenal here because our regular pub was closed on Easter. The service was spectacular, and the food was even better. Many thanks to the Arsenal supporters club for being gracious and friendly!“
“Best Coney Island I've ever been to and I've been to a lot. Try their chicken Greek salad the homemade Greek dressing is amazing. The pita sandwich's never disappoint here. The portions are large so you won't leave hungry and the service is always prompt and on point.“
“Amazing customer service, food, entertainment and overall experience. I have yet to purchase something that I didn't enjoy. Not too many places have live entertainment anymore either so this is definitely a treasure.Parking: Ample parking in the back.“
“What a great little restaurant with a great view of the Detroit River you can sit outside and enjoy a great view when having a awesome dinner. We were going to the casino for a show so we decided to take a walk and found Eastwoods and I’m glad we did. This was a great way to start my 49th birthday night off great friendly people Lexi as our server she was so awesome fun and could joke around with us goof balls,we met the owner she is awesome as well very friendly she took the time to stop by each table that’s great to see. We all had different chicken dinners and were all great I will be going back soon.“
“Great food, friendly staff and the perfect place to see a show! Very intimate setting and we love the history as well!Service would have been a 5 but we got the one server that seemed to go not want to be there and go MIA often. The bartender and hostess plus all other servers were 5 stars!“
“I believe Jeremy was the name of our server last nigh and was amazing . We stopped in before going to a Pistons game and weren't from the area. we were very impressed with the speed of service and taste of the food. I got the Bavrian pretzels they were bigger than what I expected and the Pub cheese was amazing“
“Tyler is a stellar bartender, extremely knowledgeable, and friendly. The food was an absolute delight. The soft shell crab tacos are a great way to start your dining experience, don't forget a flight of their in house crafted beer or guest tap ciders. Perfect dinner date atmosphere. This is a Detroit must try!“
“Aptly named, Standby is still the best restaurant + cocktail bar in Detroit. Whenever I'm downtown, I'm hard pressed to choose to go elsewhere because I just honestly would prefer to be here. The cocktails are consistently spectacular, and the rotating food menu is always enticing and delicious. I also consistently receive exceptional service. Top this off with an immaculate vibe, and you've got the makings of, well, a standby. I've come with family to celebrate birthdays, with friends to toast to a promotion, with my husband for an intimate date night, and solo when I just wanted to treat myself. Because of the seasonal menu rotations, there is always something new and interesting to sip or bite. A constant cocktail on the menu that I highly recommend is called the Snake in the Grass. But the best cocktail I had here was called the Black Beretta and was made with clementine sherbet and black sesame - outstanding! I also love that they have a rotating "break-even bottle" - where you can get a taste of typically pricey pours of whiskey, tequila, etc. for just as much money as it costs for them to break even on the bottle.“
“Fantastic dinner experience. Lively, yet cozy atmosphere. Cocktails were incredible, especially if you enjoy trying new combinations of flavors (one drink even came with complimentary artwork). The brussels sprouts were worth crying over they were so good. The service was also fantastic.“
“I started coming here with my grandma back when they opened in 1999. Before she passed, she would always tell us she was making home Geneva burgers, which were delicious, but nothing could touch the original. Today was my first time having them again in years, and it tasted just like I remembered! This mom-and-pop restaurant is a jewel in our community.“
“I was on the fence about this place because of the motel it's connected to, but the food turned out to be really good.Only thing I would change is the coffee ( wasn't that good ) and the size of the coffee cup, other than that it's a 4 star.“
“This is an odd and difficult review. You can't leave half stars on Google, otherwise this would be 4.5. Don't want to leave 4, 5 it is.The beer, excellent. The Winter Lager is better than the Boston brand version.Camping Beer is amazing. Was so good brought 4 home.Food we had was great. Had their version of a Smash Burger. The one thing I'd like additional would be pickle slices. One thing I NEED on a burger... MUSTARD! There was none available. That made it a 3 star meal LOL. Also, you have to serve yourself. Which is fine. For the great pricing on the burger and fries, I'll carry my food. And the fries...incredible to me.Bartenders. Friendly, helpful and thoughtful. I ordered a beer that came in a can. Bartender poured it in the glass and handed me the can because there was a splash left. I have never experienced that in 35 years of going to bars.Definitely a good stop and will be back.“
“Cute little relaxed environment; busy but people eat and leave. Staff was amazing and very knowledgeable of menu; avo toast was just ok, the bread was tough; the chicken was phenomenal! The baecation drink I really enjoyed(see menu for ingredients)“
“I have been coming here for years and when I tell you the service the owners, Paul Jr, Chris, Peter, the entire staff is absolutely outstanding. If you want to be treated like you’re the only person in the restaurant this is your place. The food is absolutely outstanding and boy can they make a Cesar salad like no other place and they do it at you table. There’s a reason why they have been in business for over 50 years.“
“One of the best bars I have been too, very friendly and lively.-Atmosphere-Is very cool, wide open, has lots of games like darts and uses higher tech with QR code menus that I love.-Service-Was the best part, the bartender was pleasant and upbeat and really knew what she was doing! She didn’t leave out any detail and made very high end cocktails with flair, speed, accuracy, and didn’t pinch on the spirits. Loved the experience!-Food-Food was coming out hot and fresh and I heard a few compliments so it must have been good, although I didn’t order I was waiting for my reservation across the street, they did well!Place has police officer security and feels very safe and lively.4.2/5 flames would definitely recommend and will be back again!“
“Solid place! The food was incredible and the service was above and beyond! The beer and food were top quality and delicious. Charlie, the manager, was welcoming, informative about the beer, food, and his hometown of Detroit! This is a MUST VISIT DESTINATION!!“
“I frequent this location often throughout the week for lunch and have had the pleasure of knowing the crew by name. Amber, Maya, Alyssa, Tammy, Monica and Alexis. They have treated me with the utmost respect to date. The service they provide is exemplary in addition to the food they offer, which I haven’t had a bad experience yet. Keep up the great work.“
“Amanda was awesome. We planned to just have drinks. But due to her outstanding service we ended up staying till closing time and eating. She is friendly, great with kids, entertaining. The manager Byron was also Awesome. Thank you for a great night.Kid-friendliness: Amanda was great with the kids. Engaging.“
“Very welcoming comfortable atmosphere excellent service Best buy I've been to in a long time. They have restaurant quality food. Great drinks. Jamie Brittany Kayla Stacy And Nicole always make sure did everyone has an excellent time. The barbacks make sure the restaurant is clean and the glasses are good. The cooks in the back make excellent food.“
“I've been eating at Vivio's for 40 years, and their food has been consistently delicious and fresh. Recently, our table of 8 loved their pizza (artichoke and so wonderful), seafood sandwich (shrimp and bay scallops and cheese), and the sliders were the best in SE Michigan, in my opinion!!! Always busy on weekends, but the wait was worth it.“
“I came in for a nice dinner, just genuinely looking for a good time. That was exactly what I got. Hadn’t eaten at this pizzeria before, but will definitely be coming back!My server was Hazel. We explained that we had never been here before and asked what her recommendation was. She recommended the Meat Lover’s pizza, and the breadsticks. Which are to die for good by the way. She was incredibly attentive, nice, and funny. She is an amazing server who goes above and beyond for all of her customers! If you are looking to have a great time and be met with adequate service, I definitely recommend asking for Miss Hazel.“
“I had Chicken dinner with superb soup, baked potato & 2 sides. 2nd person had Cheese "qusedias", 3rd person had corned beef Delight sandwich with fries. service was great. Environment was a bit loud until a few tables left. Prices were reasonable. All of had enough leftovers to make another mealParking: Plenty of free parking on the South side of 10 Mile, not far from entrance to 94W. Parking has wheelchair access. Customers are friendly and helpful, holding door for person with walker.“
“The Charlevoix continues to impress. The food choices are inspired and fun - try everything! Some things I never would have thought to try have been incredible (carrot tostadas have no business being this good). They also serve the best Ole Fashioned in town, and have Sea Quench on tap.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options, including the tostadas and the smoked tofu sandwich (don't skip this, it's insanely good).Parking: Parking lot is right across the street at the intersection corner.“
“Well known to many, this was my first trip here. The wait staff was slow due to having one waitress, but she was as attentive as could be for the level of work. The burger was amazing. Fries were so-so, kinda soft and mushy. Not a bad meal for the price.“
“It’s a guy for security there. Ponytail with glasses, caramel skin! I was violated , lions lost and a guy who I was giving a fist pump too lifted my shirt up and this security overheard me and was ready to kick him out! All my friends were gone and this guy made me feel so safe and protected he was ready to GOOOOO! I’m forever grateful for him and told him it wasn’t necessary I won’t be back! But by all means he’s a gem! Thank you sir!“
“Never had a bad experience at old school deli. Very personal service. The food is great. The employees are great. It's always like sitting down with family. When you're there they come and sit with you and talk. They have time. If they don't, they just smile and say hello and serve other people. It's a great place to go. I highly recommend it“
“The food was fantastic, I had one of my favorite burgers ever, the service was great, and they are an inclusive restaurant according to the sign in the bathroom which I like. We had one of the nicest waiters I’ve ever had, he was very kind and relatable. Will go again if I am ever in town!Vegetarian options: I think there were a few vegetarian options but I can’t quite remember.Kid-friendliness: It’s loud but if your kid doesn’t mind that it’s fine.“
“I went to The Eagle for lunch and it exceeded my expectations! The food was truly delicious. The chicken just about fell of the bone of my drumstick and the mac and cheese was the perfect creamy, yummy side. It was also a cool vibe! As a Detroit resident I love that there's a new place to watch a game that's not just a "sports bar." The service was great, bathrooms clean, and just a 10/10 spot!“
“So this rating is for the desserts only. My Wife and I were at the DIA not that long ago and stopped at Kresge Court for a quick snack. The crème brûlée was phenomenal. As were the donut bites. It's a fun place to stop and rest for a bit while you're exploring the DIA“
“Food is great here. I'm not the biggest chicken eater but I go here just for their wings. Half of the hype is the sauce, it's great! The mood of the restaurant is very mixed. You can sit at tables and chill with your group or sit at the bar and have fun with total strangers. A few tvs will even have the game on if you want to watch. The staff are usually always attentive. The only con is that you will get annoyed by the occasional gnat as with lots of bars.“
