   We had an amazing time. Desiree was our server and she was fabulous. She suggested the pumpkin espresso martini and old fashioned. I had a fabulous vegan scallop entree. It was a great spot to unwind and catch up after the end of the auto show.

   Ambiance and food were spectacular! Service was excellent! We were served quickly and the knowledge of our server was superb! She quickly asked for any allergies, was competent in the items on the menú. Overall, great experience and will definitely return.

   This building is beautiful! Loved the atmosphere. The menu is smaller but everything was great. Our server seemed a little short with us — not rude but not overly friendly either. A little pricey but not out of the norm for the upscale style dining. My drink was great too! Thanks!

   We came into Detroit from the west side of the state for our 17th wedding anniversary and this restaurant was recommended. Unfortunately, I can not recommend it further. We saw our server twice, once for the appetizer and drink order then one more time to take our dinner order. We would have have ordered a bottle of champagne and desserts had the server ever returned. Everything was rushed; we were finished dining within 45 minutes due to not being waited on and the two courses being rushed. The manager had to bring our bill and gave us two glasses of sparkling wine as we were visibly disappointed. The food was decent, nothing remarkable. Extremely disappointed on our anniversary and will not return.

   My friend and I were there for lunch. Even with the Auto Show going on, parking was a breeze with the valet. Our server, Emily was the best! She was very attentive, checked in with us a couple of times even though she was extremely busy and remembered to bring us separate checks. My friend had the salmon which she said was very good. I had the chicken club which was good, just nothing special. Great ambiance!

   Great space to gather with friends. Would go again. They do however have limited vegetarian options which is not ideal.
