Here is the lay of the land: Check in at the little red table in the center of the outdoor courtyard if you want "full service". - which means eating and drinking at a table with wait staff. It is not seat yourself at the outdoor tables, like we originally thought. There is a nice sized bar indoors and seating at the bar is first come first served. We ordered several of the small plate "snacks" and I can tell you that the hummus is not to be missed. It is served with (homemade?) tortilla chips that are absolutely addictive. They have lots of choices for wine, beer, and cocktails. Towards the back entrance of the property, there is a drink truck where you can also order "walkaway" food and drinks. Not entirely sure where you sit with the food/drinks you order, as most of the seating seemed reserved for full service. Additionally, there is a photo booth for pics (long line) and Warda Patisserie is right next door and accessible through a garden walkway.

The inside restaurant area is also beautiful. We wanted to sit inside at the bar, so we waited for some seats to open up. If you want to sit outside, all you have to do is order at the bar and they'll serve your drinks in plastic cups for you to take outside. The rhubarb pie punch was so delicious I had to order it twice! Probably one of my favorite cocktails I've ever had. I also ordered the maurixio cattelan, which tasted like ginger ale. For a snack before dinner, we chose to get the burrata and it was so refreshing. The service was great and our bartender was super friendly! The logo with the little lamb is adorable. I bought one of their wine glasses with their logo on it too for just $10.

I never knew about the canal district of Detroit, but the vibe feels like a vacation in Florida instead of the middle of the Midwest. Coriander ups that vacation vibe with bright paint, plenty of outdoor seating, and beautiful decor. All of our food tastes so fresh, and I loved the additions of things like edible flowers on the yogurt that we had with our parfaits. Service was appropriately attentive for a large group, and it never felt intrusive into our private event. I'll look forward to coming back sometime soon for another afternoon that feels miles away from everyday life!

We ended up barely squeezing into a circle space over the canal bridge and hoofing it on over to the space. The restaurant was cavernous, near full of patrons, and very loud. Our kind, young server had difficulty hearing our requests over the din. My companion enjoyed the Burnt Lemonade mocktail. I tried a glass of "Left Foot Charlie Blaufrankish" red wine. Not recommended. it was a $16, five ounce(?!) pour that tasted like sour, dark cherry vinaigrette. I ordered the Grilled Walleye. It was beautifully plated aside the cucumber salad and quinoa serving, but it tasted near flavorless, and lacked seasoning. Unfortunate at a $35 price point. My companion was disappointed in the overly-salted Pork Kapow dish he had ordered as well. We did agree however, the Chocolate Tahini Brownie was interesting, fudge-like in texture, and something to try for chocolate-lovers. Maybe it was an off day for the chef, and maybe the beverage manager left the wine opened for too long, but our experience was less than stellar today. It's a righteous concept placed in an area steeped in history and uniqueness, but the food in particular still had to hit the mark.

Little did I know that Flyleaf Literature & Libations would be firing on all cylinders. It was a packed house on both floors including a private party in their meeting room on the second floor. One of the workers was kind enough to give me and my Yelp BFF the lay of the land. He shared that Flyleaf was hosting a Boy Band event with great music playing and lots of patrons taking advantage of their Sunday Brunch offerings. It was very festive and standing room only at the moment. They host various theme events every month. Although I have included the menu, their food offerings change too. They had a great book selection. I was impressed that they had four books featured that I recently purchased. I look forward to returning to kick back with a book on their patio with a pastry or two.

Unfortunately, we were basically ignored when trying to get a drink\. This is actually the **second time I've had an issue with Chris ignoring us when we're trying to order**\. On top of that, after he served us one drink, he told us "y'all had enough," which felt really dismissive and unnecessary\. Being made to feel like you're not worth serving is frustrating, especially when you're simply trying to order something and enjoy your time with friends\. I also left feeling like he may not like my kind, in my opinion, based on how we were treated\. I understand that bars can get busy, but there's a difference between being busy and completely ignoring customers or speaking to them that way\. After this happening more than once, I don't think I'll be coming back ge turning down money the I honestly feel like the bar could make more money without Chris there--he's turning away customers and money by the way people are being treated\.
