We came here for dinner and it was packed! They more recently re-did this restaurant and it looks…read morebeautiful on the inside and out. We ordered everything from chicken sandwiches to cajun alfredo. I got the mother clucker sliders. For being sliders they were a pretty big portion. The hot chicken was flavorful and had a little kick to it. The chicken was also very tender. Overall this place had some pretty solid food. Everyone enjoyed their entrees. Would definitely like to come back and enjoy their outdoor seating this summer.

Came here because we love Johnny black in Rochester hills,…read morebut this place isn't like the other at all. SUPER loud, couldn't carry a conversation with the people at our table, food was just ok, $32 for a steak that I didn't enjoy at all c it tasted like smoke, and so did my asparagus. You know when your grill catches on fire and the food gets that smoke taste, well I don't like that so I didn't enjoy it at all. Also tried the calamari, they were tender but soggy, and I'd prefer the lemon sauce instead of the mayo they served it with. The loaded fries were trashed, pretty much fries with a bunch of sour cream on top, not sure if they got confused in the kitchen and doubled the sour cream but there was absolutely no cheese on there. The only dish we actually loved was the ribs and shrimp dish from the specials menu. Our server was nowhere to be found, so service could improve a lot! Overall not sure we'd come back.

When asked hey, can these be turned off the answer was no, they don't allow the bartend to touch the lights. Didn't even go get a manager either. For ppl who have medical issues , motion sickness or brain issues can be troubling. Was told you have to sit at a table versus sitting at the bar. 1-2 ppl typical prefer bar seating but because of the lights bouncing off the bar I can't sit here? The lights are connected to other things which kinda sounds like an electrical issue? Not cool. Not accommodating.

Husband got the catfish po boy and sweet potato waffle fries which was very good and I got the deluxe seafood boil which included a lobster tail, crab cluster and a pound of shrimp in addition to 3 small red potatoes and a small piece of corn on the cob. The price was $47, which seems a bit high to me but save for the lobster, which was a bit chewy, everything else was cooked well. I got the hook and reel seasoning which tasted mostly like Old bay, but a little more mild and it was good. Would I go back? Yes. Would I pay that amount for that particular boil? Probably not.

This did not disappoint, and the yelp reviews were 100% accurate definitely a go to for sushi!

We loved the pre set poke bowl options. The Hawaiian bowl was super fresh and sweet tasting with…read morethe mango and pineapple. It had a creamy sauce and sesame seeds that complemented the bowl really well. The spicy tuna bowl was also really good, more of a classic with more common toppings like edamame and seaweed salad. They also have a make your own option with lots of choices for fish, raw or cooked. They also have a good selection of appetizers. Prices are around $14-20 a bowl depending on what you get. We ate in and were the only people eating there, it seems like they do a lot of take out. Service was quick. Restaurant was large and clean. Loved it and will be back soon!

This was my husband's and my first visit to Testa Barra. We known about it for years and I wish we…read morewould have come in sooner. It was, hands down, the best experience we've had at a restaurant in a long time. We are very choosy with where we go out to eat these days because the service always seems rushed, the food quality doesn't match the price on the menu and feel like we're just a table to turn instead of a valued guest. This was most certainly NOT the case at Testa Barra. Our server, Bradley, was wonderful. He was friendly and personable, gave fantastic food/cocktail recommendations, and was extremely knowledgeable about the spirit selections and food preparations. The atmosphere was elevated and polished, yet relaxed. My husband had the smoked old fashioned (love the table side service) and I thoroughly enjoyed the dirty martini and refreshing "garden of Eden" cocktails. Calamari for starter was crispy on the outside and perfectly tender, cooked just right. The Ragu Conchiglie and Barramundi were deliciously comforting and flavorful. We truly enjoyed our evening from start to finish and will most definitely return.

There aren't many gluten free options for snacks but they did have gluten free crackers for the whitefish dip and their fries were gluten free. Honestly, I wasn't the biggest fan of their fries. They had a strong oil taste and the irregular cuts made it so that they weren't all cooked homogeneously. I did like the nice amount of freshly grated parmesan on top though. I can't remember the name of the cocktail I had but it was named after a city. My husband tried the basque cheesecake and really liked it. I think it wasn't made by the restaurant if I remember correctly. The pizzas that I saw going back looked great and you could watch the guy making them. It would be lovely to have a gluten free crust option :)
