    Za'atar Avocado Toast with scrambled egg
    Jen P.

    Visited today with family out of town down close to airport. Wow! What a great spot! Super cute clear glass coffee mugs. Entrance in back takes you to the hostess station. If you enter through front door, walk to back. We were immediately seated. Waitress was super friendly and fast service. I ordered the Za'atar avocado toast and they allowed me to sub in scrambled eggs instead of sunny side up. It was listed a starter and so I appreciated the smaller size. It was served with a side salad with yummy picked onions. I LOVED it. Although I would have taken even a little more Za'atar in the cream cheese. My cousin ordered the chicken and waffles. She thought the chicken had a little too much seasoning and didn't love it. But the portion was huge and could have just been a personal preference. Her son orders the huevos rancheros and he enjoyed it! Also ordered but no photos were the standard breakfast with beef bacon. I tried it and was quite delicious. Tasted more like pastrami than traditional pork bacon. Very unique. Would definitely come back if in the area. Super great vibe to walk around downtown.

    Avenue Brunch House is so delicious! I love the large portions and flavorful foods. The shrimp and grits and the beignets are my favorite. Your food is always ready quickly and service is delivered with a smile. They also have amazing coffee! The only downside is how crowded they get, because it's so good!

    My mom has been telling me about this brunch spot for months. So I planned to go there with her for her birthday. The service, staff and food did not disappoint! We got the beignets which were phenomenal. I got the steak and eggs (got egg whites) with a lemon vinaigrette side salad and country style potatoes with sourdough toast. Mom got the seafood trio with a fried lobster tail, shrimp and fish over grits. Very generous portions and our server was amazing. I loved it! Can't wait to go back!

    I ate here twice while I was visiting Detroit with my wife. The first time I came alone on a Friday 24 minutes before closing time... I was thrilled that I was able to be seated and the staff didn't make me feel rushed... The second time eating here was two days later... I loved the atmosphere and food so much that I told my wife and we meet up for breakfast with her mom and two of her brothers. The Smoked Wings were great!!!!!!! The Plane Jane French Toast tastes amazing!!! My wife loved the Berrylicious Pancakes!

    We had barely a wait when we went on Thursday at 11am, which was nice as we have tried to go here before when waits were just too long. I was excited to get the Detroiter sandwich, but wanted a scrambled egg instead of fried as I don't like yolks and was told no to this substitution. I was incredibly disappointed as that was what I really wanted. It wasn't conveyed to me if the fried egg was thoroughly cooked or why that simple cooking preference couldn't be honored. I ended up going for something cheaper and got a "standard breakfast" plate, which was meh. The toast was bland, only maple butter was given, so I did not butter it. I did request strawberry jelly when ordering, it wasn't originally given, but did ask for it again from the lady that delivered the food. The eggs were a generous portion, my dining companion got cheese in his, and they were a better flavor. The potatoes were ok, I love a house potato much more than a hashbrown, but many were overly crunchy, unfortunately. I would not order this plate again. Service was friendly, we were in and out in an hour and 10 minutes.

    Our server was Shay, We are excited to be back. This Cultural Blend Restaurant offers a NEVER disappointing, menu. This Is Also IMPORTANT--- We were a party of 8 and we were given separate checks YESSSSS We were made to feel at home from the moment we sat down Questions were answered for our 2 guests that had never been there before. Then the feast began

    The Detroiter Sandwich
    Chelsea M.

    Visited on a holiday Monday and it was fairly busy. The servers were up beat and seemed to enjoy working there. I loved the decor and homeyness of the place. Started off with the beignets and OMG I could eat these over and over again. They were flaky and sweet paired with a yummy dipping sauce. As my main I tried the chicken and waffles Benedict with cheesy hashbrowns as my side. I also ordered the Detroiter Sandwich. I will say the portion sizes are huge! They really piled on the chicken so I feel like the prices are nicely matched. I personally did not love the chicken, it was a bit overpowering and overwhelming on the dishes. The hashbrowns were cooked nicely however adding cheese made them really greasy and heavy. I would order them again just without cheese! Overall I would try some other menu items, like the pancakes I saw the table next to me order! At the very least I would go back for those beignets!

    I was so very excited to try this place. I've heard a lot about and have seen many influencers talk about it online. The dining room is an open concept of medium size. Some of the tables literally feel like you're in the center of the room alone given how the majority of the seating is on the perimeter walls. But given the odd shaped multi-party table in the middle of the room that seems like it should be a bar but not a bar because they don't serve alcohol or mocktails, it makes the table seating bizarre. Nevertheless, the menu was extensive enough. My dining companions had the seafood omelette which was generous compared to other local establishments. They enjoyed it but for $27 they should right?!!! Right. We also had the fish & grits removing the items that contained shellfish. It was good but could have been served slightly warmer. Overall the restaurant was not as impressive as I had been envisioning based upon the others experiences. The dining room is a little run down and the walls could utilize repainting and tile repair in some areas.

    Visit took place on Monday on the Federal Holiday, and therefore there was a crowd & a short wait. The restaurant is painted with vibrant colors & positive quotes that invoke thoughts. Everyone appeared to really be enjoying their meals and my food arrived quickly and the southwestern skillet was absolutely delicious. Service came with a smile from beginning to end. This is definitely a place I will be returning to.

    Once again AVENUE BRUNCH HOUSE for a win! This time made a visit with Hubby and he enjoyed his first time visit. We actually went earlier in the day so not wait time. Young lady that serviced our table was friendly and provided hubby with good feed back on menu dishes. I revisited shrimp and grits, so yummy! Hubby had Southwest Skillet and it was a true hit for him.

    Halal breakfast place, very interesting. Never had beef bacon before. No pork is served here. Chicken and waffles were amazing. The waffle was served with sea salt maple butter and it was a mix of creamy, salty and sweet perfection. The chicken was marinated well and each bite needs no sauce bursting with flavor. Seasonal fruit bowl was cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple, strawberries and blueberries- fresh and yummy. The decor was interesting artsy and modern combined. Clean bathrooms, efficient and fast service. Shout out to Shaye, our server-great service and friendly. Oh and btw, the portions are humongous! Absolutely a must for travelers and locals alike. Highly recommend!

This was an awful table to be at in here. We hardly had elbow room or table space, especially after the giant platter sized bread was out with all of the breakfast/ brunch items for half of the table. I ordered the Fazolia. Everyone else got omelets, burgers or wrap items. Yes, a couple of team members weren't keen on ordering Fasolia with scrambled eggs, large Greek salad, 2 lahm sighar (one with potato and one quit eggs), 2 smashed burger, Yemeni scrambled eggs, chicken fajita, Greek skillet, southwest skillet, chicken wrap, coffee, tea without milk, Turkish coffee, mint lemonade refresher. Every team member said their food was good. The scrambled eggs are a tad runny and looked a bit puréed. The fasolia has good flavor and even better with some heat. It came out piping hot. Without the added eggs, this dish would be woefully lacking in substance for me. I would likely still be left hungry with the beans alone, since I don't eat the bread, generally. I tried the bread to give it a go, it's good. The Greek salad is nicely plated or bowled rather. The ingredients are in separate piles and looks like a pinwheel. The red onions were crudely cut. The tomatoes looked wrinkled and not so appealing. The Greek salad was underwhelming for me. The tea doesn't taste good, definitely need some honey, sugar or the milk here, although I favor nothing in my tea.

The matcha latte was great and had the right ratio of milk to matcha (also wasn't too sweet). The hash was delicious and the presentation was incredible but unfortunately, it was over spiced for my liking. I could taste freshly crushed black pepper in every bite and it over powered the other flavors of the dish. At a higher price point, I'd expect the dish to have a better combo of flavors. Definitely still recommend this spot but it's not the same as I remember it!

During that call, the hostess assured us that we would not be charged the $50 cancellation charge. As it turned out, we were able to come in that same evening and dined at the restaurant, first enjoying drinks in front of the fireplace then being serviced by our favorite waiter, Paul. Despite this, a $300 cancellation fee was later charged to our card. When I contacted the restaurant to resolve the issue, the matter was escalated to management. The response focused solely on reiterating the OpenTable cancellation policy, without addressing the specific circumstances: we called in advance, were told we would not be charged, and ultimately honored the reservation by dining that evening. We have also stayed at the hotel and previously rented the private dining room, so this was not a one-time visit. That history made the interaction particularly disappointing. Policies are important, but so is discretion and guest communication. In this instance, the service experience did not reflect the level of hospitality one would expect. I hope this feedback encourages a review of how guest concerns are handled moving forward.
