    How it's written
    Dorian J.

    I'm not one to complain. I'm a quiet and easy going person, however my most recent experience (10/14) at this establishment was regrettably distasteful. I won't bash this establishment, because it is very lively and the food is good. Although the communication could have been a lot better. If reservations were made after 11pm, and any patrons that arrive prior to 11pm had to leave by that time. We as consumer should've have known that walking in the door. We should not have been told we had until 11pm, but have management tell us something different 20min later. Further, in my opinion, harassed every five minutes following. I feel like we should've been notified that we as soon as we arrived as a courtesy to the patron. Because it really appeared as if this establishment took our money and then kicked us out! My first time at Love and Tequila Detroit, I thought was amazing. However this second visit has left a very bad taste in my mouth. Especially since I hyped this place up to my sisters. And their experience was ruined due to lack communication and professionalism. For future reference, simple communication and transparency can take you a long way! Just do better. Or if you find communication as confrontational, if there was something making reference on the company website that would save you a lot of miscommunication or lack there of.

    Went during the grand opening and it was super fun! If you're looking for a Latin night this is definitely your spot! The music was amazing and the drinks were delicious. I got the frozen skull and it was very good. I sat at the bar and the bartenders were attentive and made sure to check if I needed anything. Tequila, good music, and cerveza = a good time!

    Spicy watermelon margarita
    Autumnn G.

    Went here for cinco de Mayo had the spicy watermelon margarita and it was so good. Very spicy the watermelon was very subtle and the glass very cute and on theme. Friends ordered the passion fruit margarita and the mystic marvel . Mystic marvel was supposed to come with a glitter bomb but we didn't see any glitter and my friend was quite disappointed about that. I had the shrimp tacos they were phenomenal, the elote crema sauce was the perfect accompaniment to them. My girl had the birria tacos and we swapped one taco each, the shell was soooo crispy and perfect on the birria taco and the meat was seasoned very well. Service was not good at all. It's understandable that a Mexican and tequila restaurant would be super crowded on Cinco de Mayo but it's seems management there was clueless this would occur. The bar is huge and they only had two bartenders who appeared to be very overwhelmed by the crowd. One bartender was servicing only one small area of the bar and it was to the point I wondered if they were her friends because she was SUPER attentive to them while ignoring everybody else. We only were able to order food after sitting for about 30 minutes and asking a guy behind the bar (not sure what his role was but he was adamant he wasn't a bartender) to flag down one of the bartenders. The people next to us waited about 30-40 minutes trying to order their first drink in vain and eventually gave up and left. Also the bartender who made our drinks had a bad habit of making the drink, serving it to us and then at that moment telling us she was out of ingredients essential to the drink and "is that ok". She made us lemon drops and only after she gave them to us did she state she didn't have simple syrup...which is pretty essential; not sure what sweetener she did have but the drinks ended up being ok. Also when we ordered our first round of lemon drops we forget to specify the martini and she didn't ask so we ended up with lemon drop shots. So the next round we specified lemon drop martinis and after she made and presented them to us is when she said she was out of martini glasses and was that ok. It really wasn't because she gave them to us in the same kind of glass our shots were in and, to us, it only looked like a little more was in the glass. We expressed our concerns with her and she became argumentative with my friend to the point we had to end the conversation because it was getting heated.

    Birria Tacos and Passionfruit Margarita

    Went here with a couple of friends randomly for a night out. We had such a good time! There was a live DJ when we were there, and the music was really good. It's more of a place for a younger crowd looking to have a good time. They had a special on drinks so we got some, and they were very good and looked cute! Our server was also really nice. We also all got birria tacos and those were also so delicious! This is a really cool spot to go for a night out or before a concert/event! Great time!

    The birria tacos are a must-order, the fried lobster skewers are next level, and the Henny lamb chops are absolutely elite.

    Delicious pizza just like I remembered it from 40 years ago!!! The woman who made it was hoping it…read moremet our expectations and it sure did!! Wish the picnic tables were in a better location, but at least there was a place to sit and ENJOY!!

    Had such an amazing experience at Standby!! The food and especially the drinks were outstanding…read more The cocktail menu was organized into three parts: Opening, Principals, and Finish. The theme was "Yes, Chef: An exploration of culinary icons through a cocktail lens." Each drink was inspired by or dedicated to a famous culinary icon, and you can read about each one in the index. We each ordered one drink from each section. From the Opening, I chose the Diaspora Club, which was so refreshing and delicious. Then from the Principals, I chose the Chingona, which was a little bit spicy and savory but still so refreshing. To Finish, I chose the Chocolatier Cosmo, which came with a tiny house-made salted dark chocolate. I loved all three cocktails I ordered, especially the chocolatier cosmo because it was perfectly sweet and went so well with the small piece of chocolate. For food, we started off with the crispy pork belly milk bread. For my entree, I ordered the miso butter gnocchi. It was kind of on the salty side but I still really liked it. The apple sofrito added a bit of sweetness to it. For dessert, we had to get the rhubarb coffee cake, which came with strawberry ice cream. Omg one of the best desserts I've ever had!! I never thought of combining cinnamon coffee cake with rhubarb or strawberry but it's perfect, and I might have to make something like that soon. Service was great and we were seated right away at 8pm on a Saturday despite not having a reservation. Food and drinks came out promptly and timed perfectly. We spent about 1.5 hours here and we never felt rushed.

    Bad Luck Bar is exactly the kind of place that makes you feel like you earned your cocktail before…read moreyou even order it. It is tucked away in an alley, and yes, the trash bins may briefly make you question your life choices. But once you spot the glass block window, you know you are in the right place. The second you walk in, the vibe completely changes. You are greeted by a friendly host, then brought into this tiny, dark, cozy little speakeasy that feels like it seats maybe 25 people total, including the bar. It is intimate in the best way, with a gorgeous liquor wall and a rolling ladder that makes the whole room feel dramatic without trying too hard. The drinks are the reason to come. They are creative, unusual, and genuinely unlike what you will find at a standard cocktail bar. Some of the spirit combinations sound like they should not work on paper, but somehow they absolutely do. The mixologists clearly know what they are doing, because every "wait, really?" ingredient pairing seems to turn into something balanced, interesting, and dangerously easy to appreciate. The only things to keep in mind are the size and the pricing. It can get busy quickly because it is so small, and cocktails can run anywhere from around $20 to over $100 depending on what you order. Not exactly a casual "oops, I had three" kind of place unless your wallet has been emotionally prepared. Bad Luck Bar is moody, memorable, and one of the more unique cocktail experiences in Detroit. It feels hidden, thoughtful, and just a little mischievous, which is exactly what a good speakeasy should be.

    A HIDDEN gem! It's nestled in an alley, so yes you will question if you are going the right way!…read moreLol Greeted by a host as soon as you enter and fair warning - - it's small and popular. Please make a reservation! Our wait was about 30-40 mins so we walked to another spot to have a drink and wait. It's a cozy lux vibe with an upscale cocktail menu. This is not your normal tequila and soda okay! Know before you go! Visit their website and preview the drink options if you don't have experience with this style of bar. I ordered the Forgotten Blossom because all things lychee has been my thing lately. The drink looks like water but it is not! lol It's strong drink + having aperitif in it. The waiter was attentive and checked in on us consistently. We even received a complimentary shot after being seated and complimentary birthday shots for the birthday folks! I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and I will be back real soon!

    I have had the pleasure of going to Kamper's a few times now, for cocktail hours for two weddings…read moreas well as just for fun! Definitely recommend getting a reservation. The bartenders are helpful with picking out drinks you may enjoy, and their drinks are fabulous! There is really something for everyone's palate on their menu. Kamper's is really all about the vibes. The views are incredible and the Book Tower is an iconic staple of Detroit architecture. Great views of the new Hudson building / GM HQ as well! On a sunny summer day, you really can't beat this rooftop.

    Leave or to my daughter to find the most off the beaten path restaurant to celebrate her birthday…read more She is obsessed with rooftop views hence how we ended up here. I took one look at the menu and cocktail list, and determed that we would be going somewhere else to eat afterwards, thinking, "this won't be a long visit at all." But oh was I pleasantly surprised. First round of cocktails set the tone and gave us the courage to go ahead and try some of the plates. We decided on the shrimp, pork belly and gorgonzola cheese ones. Absolutely delicious. So then we decided on round two of cocktails the plate of chips, avocado toast and another round of pork belly! Again, divine. Although I will admit, everything got dipped into the pork belly sauce. Was tempted to do a round three to try the highly recommended lobster rolls but decided to save something for the next visit because there will be one. They executed all the small plates exceptionally well. And the cocktails were top quality! Only complaint was the seats are very low to the ground. I'm short and my legs were aching. I can only imagine how uncomfortable those with normal legs feel after dining. BTW my daughter and her friends had a wonderful birthday celebration but ended up leaving us adults there because we were having such a good time!
