    Latin night was awesome. It was a nice reminder why I love Detroit. I've been away from home for many years and this one visit had all settled in like I never left. The vibe was strong and welcoming. I miss Detroit. Club is small inside the music hall. I didn't try the food or order any drinks. I came just for the show and it did not disappoint. Parking was easy.

    I love Aretha's Jazz Cafe. It's an intimate space within the Music Hall. They host on Tuesdays Singers in the Round. I'm a Singers in the Round fan. Started by local artists Matt Kysia and Yorg to uplift local Detroit artists. I've never been disappointed. We have great local talent. And bonus: their fries are yum.

    What a great evening!! The food was enjoyed by everyone.Thank you so much. The wait staff were very…read morepleasant and attentive! The beautiful setting and round tables made for comfortable interaction and collaboration to solve the puzzle. Now onto the actual event... soooooo much fun!!! Actors were very funny, encouraging much audience participation. The mystery itself was intriguing. Several of the spontaneous audience participants were delightful, funny and totally engaged! Did not figure out real culprit until near the end! I highly recommend and am definitely coming back for a repeat performance!

    Went to Steve's Family Restaurant today. My husband ordered the Broasted Chicken, that was greasy…read morebut good. I ordered the Meat Spaghetti, the sauce was not balanced. The sauce was acidic, so much so I had to add sugar to the sauce in order to eat it. They did not drain the noodles long enough. My noodles were floating in water in the plate. This place has some good soup, but they don't have crackers. I got the Dill Pickle Soup. Thomas' is better. I heard customers complaining about how they wanted crackers. They give you a basket with 4 slices of bread and butter. There are two slices per sandwich bag. Like a fold over sandwich bag. So two bags, 4 slices. If you want more bread there is a charge for an extra basket. When we got up to leave the table, we had one bag left of bread. The person cleaning the table picked up the basket and moved it to where the other baskets of bread were. This was gross. We could have touched that bread in the sandwich bag, it is so unsanitary. Restaurants are suppose to throw out bread if the customers did not use it. What if the person before you licked it and put it back in the sandwich bag.. YUCK! I am home now taking a Pepcid. I will never order spaghetti from here again, I will never eat the bread either. Sam's place has far better Meat Sauce Spaghetti. Don't plan to return to this place.
