“Atmosphere is impeccable, service is excellent, so kind and accommodating to EVERYONE. But let’s just talk about the food and drinks, honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. Great place for a fun casual night or a fancy birthday night. Can never go wrong at pinky’s!!“

“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“

“It's a hotel bar, but it's a nice hotel barYou have your cozy, more quiet area and then you have your more lively bar area. $15 for their signature cocktails, which is on par for the surrounding area. Parking in back, if you don't valet.“

“I love everything about V&V. The owners are lovely. The atmosphere is delightful. The food is delicious and I have never had a bad glass of wine in the dozen or more visits I have made since they opened their doors.Vegetarian options: The veggie panini and grilled cheese sandwich are my favorites!Parking: Parking is available on the street and can usually be found on further than a 3 minute walk from V&V’s front door.“

“Some of the best food we’ve ever had, everything was perfect. The Pisto Manchego (stewed veggies with an egg on top) and fried eggplant with honey were our favourites but everything we tried was delicious. The sangria was also great and the service was friendly and quick.Update: one of our favourite restaurants anywhere!! Can’t go wrong with a single thing in the menu there“

“Pound for pound the best restaurant I have been to in the greater metro Detroit area! I had my valentine's day dinner here and it blew my expectations out of the water. First, our server Katie was fantastic, she knew everything on the menu and guided us in every correct direction when we were torn between our options. We started with the bread, skate cheeks, and beef tartare. The bread had two wonderful butters (sumac & chive)... the sumac butter was out of this world. The skate cheeks had a wonderful dusting of seasoning on them and the tartar sauce was amazing... not overly pungent. The beef tartare was super high quality and I loved the creme fraiche to balance the steak. For our entrees, we had the lamb burger and short rib. The lamb burger had a rich onion jam and the burger was still juicy even though it was order medium well. The short ribs were to die for and the trumpet mushroom was cooked to perfection. For dessert we had the orange ice cream/sorbet, as someone who is not a dessert person this blew my mind. I can keep going on and on... but this restaurant truly should be on anyone's radar who is looking for a great restaurant in the Detroit area... I will be recommending to everyone“

“Just picked up a bottle of straight bourbon whiskey. I’m traveling /working . Picked up the bottle from Sam’s club lol. But lemme tell ya !! It’s great !!! Smooth tasty and quality stuff . Nice finish !!! Thanks everyone at traverse City whiskey Company?don’t hate I’m drinking out of plastic at a hotel ?“

“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.“

“Our server was Brandy and she was great! I’m the type of person that doesn’t mind when the server is overly checking in and she maintains the perfect amount of attention to the table without being overbearing. The P.I.O.M drink was FYEEE and so was the Shrimp and grits & the French toast. The vibe was amazing and definitely deserves some props for being the best brunch spot I’ve ever been and being black owned is another big plus! I’ll definitely be back for more.“
