Awkward foyer so it is hard to find a spot to sit or stand and wait for your table. A little awkward staring at the people eating at the tables while you wait for a table for yourself. We usually retreat to the back of the restaurant there is a little hallway before the restroom that has a line of chairs in order to get out of the way from the front door. The decor could use a little makeover but at the same time it does give a warm grandma's kitchen vibe. Single stall bathroom in back is ok - feels a little grimey though. Menu has both breakfast and lunch. Be sure to get the fresh squeezed orange juice - it is a pricey treat but so worth it. They also have specials that are written above the kitchen so be sure to check those out. Staff are great and working hard hustling back and forth between tables and the kitchen. Never feel neglected or that they are too busy to check in. Food is awesome! Had a little but of everything but the quiche was my favorite. Portion sizes are great (other than the fresh squeezed OJ).

The restaurant is very open, and it is attached to Papa Joe's market. There's also a doughnut store in the same little area. I had the mushroom and goat cheese omelette, and I really liked that you could get a salad as a side; while I love potatoes, salad just seemed to fit with this kind of omelette. I got rye toast (which was really marble rye), and it came with homemade strawberry jam. Or maybe it was dressing. I liked it on the salad! The omelette was very good as well. I loved the fried onion rings that were on top. My sister had the chicken caprese sandwich, and she enjoyed it as well. I am glad we decided to try this place. It was very good!

I was able to finally eat here today with my mom and it was really really good! Walking in, they have a wonderful patio dining area that was packed on a Friday which was impressive. Since we didn't want to eat outside, we went inside and it was very nice and were seated immediately. They have a bar area to sit at along with plenty of tables which we got to choose from when seated. I love how it's decorated here, it really added to the ambience. I went with the Huervos Rancheros and my mom got a veggie omelet. Both had generous portions and overall, were quite good. My mom enjoyed her meal and I tried her diced potatos. They were good but could've used some seasoning. My Huevos Rancheros was good, but a bit on the colder side, like it had been out for a while. I will say, they were able to substitute the Chirizo with Chicken, which was just okay. Not bad, just average. Overall I enjoyed my time here and the prices match the food portions along with the ambiance of the place. Staff is very friendly and professional, and it was really good food.

We were around 25 mins late but we had let them know and they accommodated it. On the main street rochester, we had a little trouble with the GPS. The restaurant sign is little small but it is next to paint creek tavern which is easier to spot. The ambience is lovely with various seating options- cozy sofa seats with creek view around fire ( only side tables, mostly for after dinner drinks) , normal seats still with a creek view and bar seating. The menu has some great options too along with vegetarian selection. We ordered Pikilia as appetizer which is an assortment of 3 dips with Pita and was awesome. Portion size was good for sharing among 3. For main course, we shared grouper filet and hot honey chicken and a side of orzo. The Grouper came with a side of couscous and every thing was delectable. I thoroughly enjoyed my Lemon drop martini. For dessert we had chocolate cake with raspberry which was little denser than I had anticipated but good overall. Our server Tony was extremely polite and graceful and made the overall experience more pleasant. I highly recommend this place for a cozy fine dine or even a date night.

The place is clean, has lots of seating, and I really appreciate the many windows and natural lighting, it makes the space feel open and comfortable. Parking is easy, which is a big plus.

Also, the fact that they serve halal is a big plus. Highly recommend to everyone.

I live out in the Lansing area and met a friend who had the same thoughts about Paul's as we did, but picked it for its parking and easy to navigate location on a Saturday night in December. We were all so pleasantly surprised -- I'm writing from the following morning and I'm still amazed at the change of this place! I ordered a couple apps -- the Brussels sprouts and the boom boom shrimp. The Brussel sprouts were a touch over for me with the meat not quite being crispy enough, but that didn't stop the rest of my table from finishing them. The boom boom shrimp was delicious -- I found the spice-level completely appropriate for something I'm expecting to have 'a touch of spice' while my husband found zero spice. Would order the shrimp again. They did away with the breadbasket of yesteryears and switched to real, cut, French bread with whipped butter! I had the French onion soup which came last to the table and I wasn't mad at that as it was HOT -- thank you! My friend ordered the tuna on sourdough which was perfect with beautifully crispy fries. And my husband ordered a giant burger, that had the perfect cook on it! Overall, we had a lovely time. The wait staff were also extremely delicate and respectful in nudging us to let us know there was a massive line waiting for our table (something we didn't realize as we were chatting and catching up).

There is a spacious bar with plenty of seating options from around the bar area, to an atrium area, to a cafe-style hallway (where they do have tea service available on Sunday's) to the amazing patio outdoor seating overlooking Paint Creek with lush trees. It is so peaceful and beautiful. No wonder the location is a go to spot for wedding photos. The menu changes every 6-12 months to keep things fresh, although it can be disappointing if you have a favorite. This time I ordered the Dry-Aged Half Duck À L'Orange, while my wife ordered the Pappardelle Pasta. The Duck was cooked perfectly and was a great value around $32. The menu has a variety from pizzas and burgers to steaks, lamb chops, halibut, and even the occasional vegan option (e.g., Vegan Scallops). Try a margarita flight or a smoked old fashioned, or a nice glass of wine. They have plenty to choose from. Lastly, I must mention the service.. It's a good sign to see the same servers and bartenders year after year. You make this place special! We've never had a bad meal, service, or experience. That's why the Royal Park Hotel and Park 600 is our go to place when returning for a visit. Try it out!

Park 600 itself is a lovely spot, while it doesn't match the level of the hotel, still lovely. The menu caters to breakfast, lunch and dinner, so you can eat at any time throughout the day and they have a pretty decent cocktail program that adapts to the season/trends that keep the menu fresh. They of course can make many of your favorite drinks and they have an ok wine selection also. The food has always been very good here. I have never had a bad experience and have always left very content. The meals are rich, full of flavor and very well done. I think the price points on the menu are a little over the top, but for a hotel restaurant, probably on par.

You can easily walk in, not wait awhile, and get a seat quickly. The restaurant interior was modern industrial with Scandinavian/minimalist influences(?), which I loved because it felt a cozy and welcoming. Any who, back to the service and food. I really enjoyed my entrée, I choose Corned Beef Hash & Eggs and the asiago bread, the dish was a bit heavy (not in a bad way), and I ended up requesting a diet coke but overall, the dish was very good, and the corned beef is not the type from a coney island restaurant, it was shredded and flavorful. The service was outstanding, and our waitress was beyond pleasant and attentive. Would I recommend this place to others? Yes. Would I come back again? Yes, there were other items on the menu I'd like to enjoy.
