    Again, this neighborhood gem didn’t disappoint! The chicken tortilla soup was delicious as were the Shrooms! One guest had the full rack of spare ribs! Enough for two meals and “fall off the bone “ delicious . Two other guests had burgers - they were very happy with their choice . I had meatloaf - it was over-the-top wonderful! Our server was attentive and friendly- and ,as usual, the manager Alfredo stopped by our table several times to make sure we were not in need of anything. A perfect dinner and Saturday night out!

    Great experience. This isn't a red sauce Italian restaurant. Dishes are innovative and delicious. My first time here, but I'll definitely be back soon. Service was wonderful too. And it's BYOB! Parking is available in a nearby municipal lot.

    My friend and I had a very nice afternoon with Wyatt as waiter. He was very attentive, friendly and accommodating. The Ribwich sandwich was okay… I probably would have liked it more if there was an artisan bread, instead of a plain white bread, and the Munster cheese was a little flat.

    This was our first visit here. We were originally attracted to it because the great Motown themed band, "Motor City Revue", was playing here at no admission or cover charge! Amazing!! They are great and kept the place rockin' and dancing all night. As an added special bonus, the ambiance, food, drinks and service were really good. They also honored a special request we made through Open Table. We had a great night at a reasonable price. We'll be back.

    We couldn't have asked for a better experience. The salmon and tuna tacos were fabulous. We both had short ribs and they were delicious. Dessert was also a treat with the key lime pie. Our waiter was extremely accommodating.
