“Used to go here all the time since b4 covid...then they brought back community seating for the big dinners and now won't go back. Don't need to spend all that money to sit and stare at people I don't know at my table. Food is always good. Quit trying to maximize profit and just use tables like u did b4. Thanx for your “
“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.“
“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.“
“Love Seasons 52. Wine, apps, entrees, It’s so hard to go wrong at this restaurant. I love the crab cake appetizer, the mushroom soup is delicious and I rarely get a glass of wine I don’t like. My weakness is the dessert shots, I always need at least 2 for myself and I brung home 2-3 for my family as well!“
“Friendly staff. Good selection of tasty sliders, each sold separately so you can try a variety. Average 4 sliders per adult. Fries were fabulous. As you're eating you'll find that you will add a couple more sliders to your tab before you ask to cash out. Beer was cold. Back patio with a bar in case there's a wait. Weekends are very busy, but worth the slider experience.“
“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“
“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!“
“Awesome experience celebrating an anniversary. Marrow made us feel special & welcome. The food was delectable & the staff were all so kind & genuinely seemed like they enjoyed working there which made the experience even better. We will definitely be back to try some beef tartar & bone marrow next time! Highly recommend the chef’s tasting menu!!!“
“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.“
“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.“
“Have tried it twice. 1st time just us to test it. Found the vibe great. Easy going. Lots of choices from beer, wine and seltzers. Bought some bread bites and was not impressed with the taste nor price. Talked to a couple that bought the Royal w/Cheese and they said it was great, agreed it looked great We played some shuffleboard, nice to have though the table needs a little work on its surface. The employs there were 2nd visit we brought a couple of friends after a night at Johnnys. They liked it as we did. Again many choices to drink. Casual table and easy guest to speak with, many of whom were playing various games. Asked to switch the channel on TV and no problem did it right away. Overall we will be back and want to try the burger“
“Amazing place for meetings, dates, and dinner! Food's always great along with the service. The rooftop is always nice when the weather permits.Be sure to make a reservation.I love how they give back on Monday's!Kid-friendliness: My children actually enjoy the food!“
“Quaint and modern little spot. Can definitely see it livening up during the warmer months. I had a reservation for my husband’s birthday. Aperol for me and a wise and handsome for husband. Both good. We shared the steak tartare and braised beef apps. Both were delicious. Nice just and flavor with the tartare. The whipped feta with beets was smooth and delicious. I got the scallops and risotto. The risotto Nero was interesting. I don’t know if they added cheese but there was almost a smaller gelatin consistency. Scallops were nicely seared. Other main was the tagliatelle with lamb ragú. It had a nice hint of spice and the fresh pasta was evident. Dessert was a VERY rich chocolate ganache-like dessert with small malt balls on top. There was a hint of thyme which was a good contrasting flavor.“
“Great experience! All the staff was top notch! We had smoked old fashions for a cocktail, which were perfectly presented. Aranchini and Gruyère spread were great as well as the pasta entrees. Wish we had time for dessert and to enjoy the live music duo, who were awesome. We had tickets to Royal Oak Music Theater...which was within walking distance.“
“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!“
“Really nice wine list, and couple that with the cheese plate and it's a wonderful start to a relaxing evening. Melanie was our server, and was attentive and fun. The lamb ragu, if you like pasta dishes, is a hit. The dessert choices are not extensive, but then again, the restaurant is not massive in size. I'd rather the volume of choices to be part of the entrees, and not at the finish, when I'm already full!“
“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.“
“Sensational. Exceptional food, drinks, service and vibe. Had the Fried Oysters, Octopus Carpaccio, Burger and Scallops. Everything perfect and on point. The Nduja sauce for the seared Scallops was unreal. Highly recommend, and the proximity to Little Caesar's arena makes it a perfect landing spot before an event. Will return!“
“The food here is mind blowingly amazing and they’re open all night. Highly, highly, highly recommend eating here. It’s so hard to pick what to get—can’t go wrong with double layer nachos or chicken fried chicken with gravy. Or both.“
“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!“
“First time here, my son and I stopped in had a great meal, food was excellent service was great! We really enjoyed ourselves our server Brendi (not sure of spelling Lol) was attentive and professional, will most certainly return and tell others!“
“The entire experience was excellent. The ambiance, drinks, food, and service was top notch. Special acknowledgment to Garrett, who was informative, flexible, and a great host. He has such a great personality, he made the experience better than expected.“
“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 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.“
“What a hidden gem! Great diner for breakfast in Royal Oak area. Banana Pecan Waffle was amazing. The candied pecans made a big difference. We also had Corned Beef Hash, pancakes, bacon, plus much more. Portions are huge. You cannot walk away hungry. Hot, fresh coffee, and excellent, friendly service. We can see why the Oak Diner is so poplar. DoorDash delivers! Nostalgic setting, loved the decor. Daily specials and loved the joke of the day board. Counter sitting or dining area. Will be back to try lunch one day.“
“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!“
“The portions are ridiculous. You won't leave hungry, that's for sure. Everything is delicious and prepared fresh. The service is fast and friendly. It's a perfect lunch place, and probably good for dinner too if you like the pub atmosphere.“
“We came for dinner and every single thing we ate was excellent. We had corned beef croquets (holiday special), the roasted garlic ricotta dip, vegan risotto and short rib sandwich. Every aspect was well-prepared & perfectly balanced, service was excellent, atmosphere was just a standard milquetoast restaurant/bar but the food was magnificent.“
“Used to go there to have Polish Platter. the food is always good except the bread that comes with soup. the place is always full of people. I love their stuffed cabbage and pierogi. Portion is good and the staffs are so friendly. But don't try just regular american breakfast or french toast here, you are at the polish specialty place.“
“Seem a little tight with the spacing as far as the seats are concern near the bar but overall the food was delicious I had corn beef wonton for appetizer and PB&J Waffles..and tater tots which I never had on my waffles before..and the waffles were so fluffy I literally wanted to order another plate but I didn't want to over do it..and the champagne was great. I really enjoyed it for first time experience.“
“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“
“I enjoyed my breakfast. I had a biscuit topped with sausage patty, poached eggs and sausage gravy on the side. Came with American fries and I got a coffee. My server was kind and speedy. The food was a nice portion, arrived hot, and tasted great. The restaurant is run down inside. While clean and well managed, it all needs a re-imagining. Carpet, booths, tables and chairs straight out of 80's casting. Never mind though, it's a good breakfast!“
“Rating is based on the food. The food is pretty good. Sometimes the potatoes are undercooked. I do miss the old owner and old building... the new decor/paint/flooring is so bland. It was adorable before, now it looks like a caucasian mom's "live laugh love" decorated kitchen. The prices have definitely gone up over the years, but that's inflation. Overall, it's a nice spot to bring family and friends, but I really cannot see the vision with the decor and grey color scheme. It's really disappointing!“
“Parking here sucks but the coffee and pastries are very good. There are tons of vegan options for drinks and a good amount for food. There's a small sitting area in the back, and the line can end up filling the seating area. If you want to sit and chill, I'd go to another red hook location. All of the other ones have more seating. This one, though, has the best vibes tbh. Make sure you get whatever food you order warmed up it makes it 10 times better.Dietary restrictions: They have all the vegan milk options and vegan quick bites“
“The food is always amazing! Every time we come here they never disappoint!!!! Our server today was literally the cherry on top!!!! Brooklyn!!!! Is the best!!!! We had so much going on in our party and she was patient and lovely!!! Made us feel welcome and made sure we had everything we needed! Hope we get her next time!!!!“
“I eat there when I get a break in my daily schedule and the food is good .It's the only Coney island I trust. One of the ladies is a nice-looking lady .Vegetarian options: Alot of meat less Items very tasty vegetablesDietary restrictions: You can order no salt, no butter boil foods, and a lot of no frying items, salads is a good way to go.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs easy in easy out .“
“Barcade remains an absolute blast, especially when I'm hanging out with my 30-something-year-old son and his friends. There's an abundance of entertaining games for everyone, ensuring a lively atmosphere throughout. For beer enthusiasts, it's akin to stumbling upon a hoppy paradise; the bar selection is simply outstanding.While they do offer food, our primary focus was on indulging in games, drinks, and, of course, catching the college basketball finals on TV. Don't forget to have your ID handy as everyone gets carded – a testament to their commitment to a safe and enjoyable environment.I wholeheartedly endorse this venue, particularly for those aged 25 to 35 who will revel in the diverse array of games on offer. From pinball to high-speed driving simulators to classic Ms. Pac-Man, there's something here to satisfy every gaming taste bud and keep the fun going all night long.“
“Listen guys! I’m speaking to my Detroit natives and my tourists.. this place is the place to BE! Yesterday I visited this establishment and I had ‘what I thought’ was the best experience but after returning for seconds the VERY NEXT DAY… I’d have to say that each time I visit the experience gets better and better. I absolutely love this place. Not only because it’s black owned but because they stand on straight business. The food was exceptional And you can tell that they take pride in providing quality service. I order the pasta 10/10, the sweet & spicy shrimp 10/10 & the chicken sandwich 10/10.. no exaggeration.. yeah so check them out“
“Spent family Thanksgiving here with a terrific view of the parade. Our time will go down as the most memorable Thanksgiving ever with our families. The staff was exceptionally warm and attentive, from the door guy, hostesses, and waitress. I have to especially give personal recognition to Sara (purplish highlights) our server who was not only warm, kind, sweet, engaging and caring throughout our 4hrs. She was also quick, attentive, accommodating, and surprisingly for as busy as it was, she was there anytime my family needed something. The experience was so amazing that I’m not sure if I’ll do it next year as the “bar” was set so high that I’m not sure if it’s achievable again, as in a great compliment . Thank you Union Assembly staff for your exceptional service on a holiday, I do appreciate it knowing work was early and dealing with parade route traffic/blockages and yet you all still provided warmth and hospitality.“
“My friends and I had a bad experience at a restaurant nearby and 220 ended up being right next to it so we decided to give it a try. They brought us in right away no matter how late and busy they were. Our server Jackson, was so nice and fun and made sure we had a good time!“
“Growing up part Lebanese and Syrian I was basically raised on this type of food, so I know what I like, and my expectations were high. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and our waitress Kylie was outstanding.For drinks I ordered a Manhattan, and my friend had a Spicey Margarita. Both were strong and delicious.For our Appetizers we had the Calamari which was super crispy and came with an amazing sliced tomato sauce. Of course I had to get a taste of everything so the Vegetarian Plate was an absolute must. It came with so many different food items and even just the presentation alone was gorgeous. My favorites were the fried Falafel which was super flavorful, crispy, but not dry at all like many can be from other places, the Baba Ghanouge was fantastic, and the Hummus which was so smooth and some of the best I’ve had. Hot bread was provided as well for dipping. Now if I’m completely honest, I did not care for the Veggie Grape Leaves or the Fattoush Salad. The salad seemed a little soggy and the flavors just kind of blended together, and the Grape Leaves had much too strong of a lemon/garlic type of taste that was way too overpowering.For our Entrees I decided on the Kibbeh Niyeh (raw lamb), which was very fresh and a large portion for the price. My friend decided to mix it up and try the Chicken Florentine. I wasn’t sure a predominantly Middle Eastern style restaurant could deliver on a dish like that, but not only was the portion huge, the flavor and quality is like one you’d find at a nice Italian restaurant. I was very surprised.For Dessert we of course had to try the Tiramisu. Each bite nearly had our eyes rolling to the back of our heads. It was light but flavorful, and each bite just melted in your mouth.If you’re in the mood for good Mediterranean, I highly recommend checking this place out!“
“Stellar sliders, solid shakes, and chill atmosphereI ordered a double-cheeseburger slider and vanilla shake.The Slider: the bun is not cakey but rather a soft sponge-type bread that absorbs the juice of the burger well. This leaves a great meat-to-bun ratio, and the cheese melt is glorious, covering every part of the patty. I witnessed the maestro on the grill as he made my sliders, and he used the tried and true "pinch and pull" method of lifting the patty off the grill. I then saw him scrap the melted cheese on the grill and add it to the burger. It was a marvelous process to witness and a magical taste to experience. The sliders were hot, cheezy, and accompanied by caramelized onions and a touch of ketchup added for some sweetness. I was highly impressed by the double-cheeseburger sliders I ordered, so much so that I ate 5 in total.The Shake: It was creamy and delicious, and it was just right in that Goldilocks zone of not being too thick and not too milky.I ate lunch on a Sunday, and there were only a few other diners, so it was a very calm and chill environment to enjoy my food in. The service was prompt and respectful. I was not waiting long either for my order to be taken or delivered.Parking: Plenty of paid parking on Main Street but there are parking garages nearby that are free for the first 2 hours. I parked a 5 min walk away in the neighborhoods so I could park for free and enjoy the nice weather on my walk.“
“There were 3 of us and we all ordered at the same time. I ordered a salad with salmon, the two people I was with had egg plates and were completely done eating by the time my food finally came out. A bit disheartening they then had to wait for me to finish and I rushed to eat. We finished our drinks and were never asked if we wanted another. Either they put our food in wrong or they were short staff but still frustrating. We didn’t go until 1PM they were not overly busy.“

“Can't really ever complain. The service is always great. Very kind lady who takes your order and takes interest in her customers. Is probably one of the only coney islands with great prices for food (not $10 for 1 burger) spent $21 to feed 2 people at a time where it averages $40+. Thank “
