We had a larger group, about 12 (10 adults, 2 kids) and were seated at an "L" shaped table formed by pushing 2 differently shaped tables together, meaning half of our group couldn't see the other half without having to swing around or endure a cricked neck. Our server was pleasant, and attentive in the beginning. Before our appetizers had even arrived, we were already being asked for meal orders. Kinda felt rushed, but put our meal orders in and the appetizers came out. They were all very tasty, and the new pickle fries with ranch were very tasty. Would have been better if the silverware came out before the appetizers came, but maybe the wash washers were backed up from the all of the prom diners that were just leaving. Either way, we had a Second Lady bringing over silverware, so we had to wait to eat until she got there. Shortly after, our entrees arrived, also very delicious! I got the "Pick 2" BBQ items with 2 sides. One of my sides was incorrect, but the severs corrected it the mistake quickly. At this point, the entire table needed refills but the wait staff had completely disappeared for our half of the dining room. I observed other tables (like a couple in a booth kitty-corner from us) was looking around for assistance while I was. It was nearly 30 minutes before a server swung by again to get empty plates out of the way. I don't know if they were trying to get us to leave or what, but joke's on them, we still had presents and cupcakes to do! After our table was FINALLY cleared of enough played and empty cups to conclude our birthday celebration, we enjoyed our cupcakes from M Street Bakery. The wait staff didn't offer us any clean small plates so we had to have our deserts from their wrappers or off of our leftover dirty plates. Honestly, we could have asked for desert plates but we should have been offered them by the waitstaff. Our group explained in the beginning that we're would have separate checks, and when the checks came,it took multiple times for the splits to be done correctly, and one check had to be voided and a credit card transaction had to be refunded and Ran again because the wrong check was charged for the wrong items. I'm willing to give Block Brewing another shot, not on a holiday/school weekend. Maybe we had walked in after a HS dance tornado had just blown through, and everyone was just pooped. It just kinda felt like our whole group was kind of an afterthought and we were put in a corner: out of sight, out of mind.

The flavor was excellent, but the dish was a little heavy on the mashed potatoes and could have used more meat and vegetables to balance it out. The service was good, and the prices were reasonable. My only real complaint was the lighting--the dining area was extremely dark, especially over the tables. We had to use the flashlights on our phones just to read the menu. Turning the lights up a little would make a big difference. Overall, the food was tasty, the service was solid, and the price was fair. A few small improvements would make the experience even better. Solid 4 stars.

Cleary's pub is a beautiful hundred plus year-old brick building right off of Grand River in Howell…read moreMichigan. I can't honestly remember if I've ever been here before. I suggested to my sister-in-law that we meet there because there were several reviews raving about the French Onion Soup. We both enjoy that so we didn't agreed to meet and have a little bit of a late lunch. Normally, there is plenty of street parking and there's a huge parking lot behind the entire block of retail. I ended up parking in the back because there were orange cones advising that there would be no parking available between 3 and 6 PM due to a Homecoming Parade. Even though we met at one, I know how much we talk when we get to meeting with each other since she lives in Michigan, but it seemed to move to Texas and of course I've been in Texas for over 30 years. Anyway, just trying to save the ambience in that restaurant at bar is lovely. We had a great server. Dang, if I can't remember his name, he was very professional and polite. I asked him to let me know what appetizer was the favorite and if the French onion soup was really as good as their reviews indicated, he responded positively to both and recommended the breadsticks so we got an order of those. They came with a side cup of ranch dressing and marinara sauce for dipping. It was a huge order. The breadsticks which had been brushed with butter and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese were quite large. I believe they were under nine dollars so a really good choice for four very hungry people. We both ended up eating one, but then took the rest home and we actually ate them with our meal which was the French onion soup. Our server brought them just a little bit prior to our soup. He had asked if we wanted them separate or with the soup and we both said we honestly didn't care. I hate to say this, but both of us were very disappointed by the soup-we just kind of looked at each other at the same time as we started, carefully taking small amounts in our spoons as it was quite hot (when I get soup the hotter the better) so that was actually a positive for me. We both thought the broth was lacking the beefy onion flavor. (We usually eat at another chain restaurant but we both love to support local. The chain restaurant had consistently provided good French Onion Soup. We also detected a sourness which we didn't believe belonged in French Onion Soup. There was definitely an appropriate sized chunk of bread and some cheese melted over the entire crock. When it came to the table, it looked very tasty. Would we come back? I for one wouldwould definitely try it again-the restaurant not the soup. Other diners appeared pretty happy eating and the burgers looked good so that's probably what I would try. (By the way, I forgot to say the brick is inside as well as out. It's absolutely stunning!)
