I've tried his other truffles (which are all far superior to anything you'd get at Godiva or other fancy chocolate shops (and cheaper too!), but the cinnamon cayenne are definitely my faves. Pete also makes several wonderful hot cocoas. Needless to say, the spicy version is a favorite in my household. If you can't find Pete at Eastern Market, I've also found the cocoas at the Shinola stores and at the Pewabic store downtown.

They have quality of both and I came here with friends and their families to pick up some quality meats and cheeses in preparation for Thanksgiving spreads. They also offer so many other artisanal goodies (chocolate, coffee, tea, etc.) that you can browse as you wait for your meat/cheese order to be ready. The employees here are also so knowledgeable and friendly and will prepare everything to your specifications and help to provide recommendations based on what you're looking for and enjoy typically as well. They are consummate professionals and you can tell how much they genuinely enjoy working here and improving their craft! There is also a delicious menu of cheese-based sandwiches that often times sell out, so you can also pick up a delectable sandwich here after soaking in all the delicious food scents as well! Highly recommend literally everything here. They are pricier, but you're paying for proper goods that are worth every cent!

Since some of the restaurants at MotorCity Casino are closed on Monday and the buffet price is $49…read moreper person on Mondays (for the seafood buffet), my Mother-in-law and I opted to go elsewhere for dinner on our recent visit but couldn't catch the shuttle to our event until 6 p.m. so we wanted a little nibble to tide ourselves over. The pastries at Sweet Ride looked irresistable so we stopped there. I got a little bit of sticker shock when they told me how much I owed them for one cupcake and one eclair -- $9 (each was $4.50). We probably would've skipped it if we'd realized how pricy they were. The cupcake was incredibly decadent and delicious (encased in a milk chocolate shell, inside were a layer of whipped cream and layer of chocolate ganache atop a moist and delicious cupcake). The custard in the eclair was overly rich and the dessert itself too chilled to be especially enjoyable. On a future visit, I'd split the decadent cupcake two ways and skip the eclair.

The tartare was fresh and unique with lots of greens, and the sourdough toast paired nicely. The cacio e pepe was a standout, we loved it so much we each ordered a second.

They are fried to crispy PERFECTION, coasted with some enchanted salty stuff, plus fried rosemary, and the dip they come with has a hint of lemon and it all just works fabulously. I can't get over how much I enjoyed them. I expected my egg yolk ravioli to be runny, as the server indicated, but the folks were fully cooked. Maybe that's the intent and it was just false advertising? My friend enjoyed her butternut pasta dish. The cocktail/mocktail list here is fire. I don't think you can go wrong. I literally cannot WAIT to come back and try more of their menu! I am so impressed with Mad Nice!!

Loved the panna cotta too :) We hosted a private event for 15 people downstairs and Rebecca was incredible to work with from start to finish.

Also chatted with David the owner; seems like a really hands-on guy and you could tell he really cares about the food, experience and his guests. If you're looking for a great spot to eat and/or to host a small gathering with great food + great people, this is it. Highly recommend!

The standout item was the ragu - next time I come here I legit am ordering 2 ragu dishes - it was divine! Best pasta i've ever had! The fondue was just okay. I was expecting it to taste more like the alpine fondue from the melting pot but it sadly did not. It lacked flavor (needs garlic or more wine). For the price of the weinerschnitzel, I would think they could give some carb or veggie on the side. Yes it's a good sized portion, but the presentation looked a little sad. Lots of cocktail options, but I just went with the classic aperol spritz and it was perfect. I definitely will come again on special occasions!

I look forward to additional visits to Warda.
