Cocktails galore, wide choice of liquors for your own preferences and of course wine and beer. The space is dark, but well lit, moody but expressive. Obviously a play on the owner's heritage, I want to say he told me this but I could be making it up. The service was nothing short of impeccable, and the bartender made sure she understood my likes and dislikes when making my drink. I usually go on some random kick for a while (old fashioned, revolvers, vodka gimlets, sambuca, etc) and she was fantastic. I hear they moved to an event only space now, but if you get a chance do go.

I looked online and saw they took reservations, yet this function was closed completely on their website. Decided to just stop by, but found them not even open on a Saturday night.

We had the sausage, Langos, and Brussels sprouts for appetizers; the sea bass for the main entree; and several deserts (our favorite was the blueberry pastry type one). The service was very great and our waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu. Probably the most surprisingly delicious thing I had was the Hugo spritz, I will literally go back for that one! I loved the atmosphere of the front part of the restaurant; however the back of the restaurant I felt was kinda lacking and I wish the put my group in the front part, especially since I made the reservation over a month ahead of time. My one complaint is that the prices were quite high - I have been to many foodie Detroit restaurants and am aware when I go to these restaurants that I will be spending a pretty penny. I felt for its location and the value of the food, I felt it was a little overpriced. I felt the appetizers were the best price for amount of food, but the entree and desert prices were hard to justify in my eyes. The next time I go back, I'll probably just get a bar seating and order the spritz with rigatoni and call it a day.

This is a true dive bar in every sense of the word. It's dark, smells slightly musty, and has the…read moreold-school wood paneling in an old building. In other words this ticks all my dive bar needs. It has a shuffleboard game inside along with dartboards. The menu looked simple with typical bar food: burgers, fries, wings. We came in on a Saturday evening and were surprised to be the only 2 people there. The bartender, who I suspect could be the owner, was an older lady who was friendly and happy to see a few people. 2 drinks (Tito's and soda) were around $5 each which is very reasonable. The bartender put the Tigers game on for us and we stayed for about an hour and a half before bouncing to another place. The reason for three stars? No one wants to eat in an empty restaurant. The analogy applies to bars too. The entire time we were here no one came in. I asked the bartender if they have karaoke or anything going on and she did mention Friday is karaoke night. Hopefully this was an off night because the place was cool, with good service, and is truly the definition of a dive bar.

Just one burger option and limited toppings. Server was very nice but didn't write down the order, and when it came my burger was missing the cheese and onion. I wasn't sure if they would take it back or what so I didn't eat anymore and it took her a decent amount of time to come and check on us after we got our food. I let her know what was missing and she said it was her fault and asked if I wanted it fixed. I said yeah and she went and got a cold piece of cheese and slice of onion and put it on a plate and gave to me to put on my own burger. I'd expected a little bit better service and I'm certainly not someone who demands top tier service from every spot. Fries were crispy but needed some parm or an aioli sauce to dip in. Also minor note but I had some fries left on my plate and when she came to collect plates I had food in my mouth so I couldn't say anything but she took the plate and my fries! They should always ask if there's any food left on the plate. Burger was decent overall, but definitely nothing special. Environment was cool and I'm sure they have got some other delicious items on the menu but for the price paid and service received, I'd go somewhere else next time.

Most of the sandwich was left on the plate because it was simply inedible. What was even more disappointing was that two different waitresses asked if we wanted a box because so much of the sandwich was untouched. The first time, we simply said no and asked for the bill. The second time, we politely explained that we didn't like it. We aren't the type of people who enjoy confrontation or making a scene, especially in a busy bar, but with most of the sandwich still sitting there, you would think someone would have dug a little deeper into the issue or tried to make it right.
