Open concept kitchen, interesting menu and whimsical drinks make this a great place to eat. The spicy bloody Mary is delicious as was the salmon bagel. Highly suggested. Not inexpensive.

The server didn’t explain anything in the beginning regarding what side dishes are included or that we could request lamb chops til late after we were filling up. He knew nothing about where the thanksgiving food are was. Our drinks sat empty including water until we asked a different server. He never offered desert. We joked that that we helped him by us upselling our own check. Our check was $233, and we still left a $45 tip because we felt bad for his bad service.

Our first thought for a pre game brunch. We love the eggs Benedict- simply the best- and the rest of the menu is great! Service is fantastic. Billy is such a great host and rep for the restaurant. It’s lively and fun with a great location. A gem in downtown Detroit

Our advice is: dont put too much effort on deciding, as everything is absolutely amazing! We've been coming here everytime we came to Detroit since 2022 and we've seen our share of new dishes everytime... and tried them. No regrets whatsoever!
