    Feels like Detroit, complete with Detroit prices! This is a completely renovated space. It's dark, it's sexy, it's actually comfortable. The bartenders were cute and knowledgeable. Just know you're going to be spending $12+ for a cocktail here, which feels weird in Wyandotte, but it's worth it. Their whiskey selection was impressive. The bartender mentioned one I've never had before and I showed interest, and he grabbed me a small sample. Super-sweet gesture! This is a great spot for a date, pre- or post-dinner cocktail, or just to grab a nightcap before calling it a night.

    I must update from my prior reviews. We came a couple of times and did not have a good service. Tonight was all we had hoped for in a lounge in Wyandotte. Great service, good music, and the ambiance is moody and chill. Drinks are delicious!

    Phenomenal relaxing social bar. Until 9pm rolls around where the volume of the music is so unbearably loud I can't hear myself think.

    I don't know if this place has anything that is NOT a popup. Seems that they are always having one…read more So maybe that is there entire thing, I'm not really sure. So keep in mind that there always seems to be a theme. And I wouldn't say the popup thing is all that great. Once it seemed like they just printed images on a printer and taped them to the wall. They highly recommend reservations and I totally get that. However, I came in once because I was in the area and didn't have a reservation but thought I would see about getting a table anyhow. When I came in I was literally the only person there and when I said I didn't have a reservation, the girl acted like I was a bother. She did seat me in likely the most awkward spot you could think of, but the entire time I was there exactly one additional table came in. At least an hour, maybe a little more. So why could I have not had a more reasonable location to sit? And for staff, other than one hostess one time I've been there, all staff have acted annoyed to be there. The food has been good each time I've been there, but no point in mentioning it since it changes all the time. I think there's a few things that stay menu to menu, but I didn't have any of those. At least not that I'm aware of. The names are all part of the theme as well so it could be hard to tell. Drinks here are tiny and expensive. Also on theme again with whatever the popup is. They go very light on the alcohol so I do not feel like I'm getting my value with the drinks. And another thing is they give you the tiniest glass of water. Three sips and you have to ask for more. I guess that's to get you to buy more drinks? Desserts have been exceptional. That's keeping it at 3 stars and not down to 2. Again they seem different each time so no point in going over any of them.

I had the Dole Whip…read moredrink special and it was so delicious I could've finished it in 3 sips if I didn't control myself! The double smash burger hit the spot for being beefy and cheesy, nice soft bun with onion, lettuce and tomato(?). Side of Mayo came with it, other condiments in a basket with utensils. It was a little messy but that's what made it delicious. I tried the garlic dill fries and they were thinner cut, hot, crispy and while seasoned well- which for some may be a little too salty. I would get them plain next time- I will definitely be back as I enjoyed the meal so much. They have seats at the bar, tables inside and a good sized covered outdoor patio. Darker ambiance inside with lighting from neon lights and 3 big TV screens above the bar, though some evening natural light added in. Service was great, since I sat at that bar where the drinks were being made. Staff were busy taking care of food and drink orders but attentive to customers at all the right times: greeting new ones at the bar, they took my order promptly, food came out in decent amount of time for dinner/ Happy Hour crowd. Prices were reasonable for the quality and portion of food I enjoyed. Clean inside and good communication between staff making sure everything was going smoothly. There's limited parking on the street outside but a large lot a short distance away, accessible to those with mobility concerns. Patio could seat about 15 and inside seat 30(?) including barstools, plus standing room for busier times. I highly recommend this spot for food, drinks and a good time.

They were both really good but nothing too special but for the price it is definitely worth it cause for me and my wife to eat and have drinks was under $40. I didn't know you could still go out to eat for that price.

We arrived early so we went up to the bar beautiful view. The bartender was just a Doll. A beer and 2 tiny margaritas $31 and change. Left to luncheon the drinks were really good so we ordered 2 more. A waitress went to go get them for us. We told her what we had just had. She seemed confused, but she was just the cutest sweetest thing. Comes back the drinks did not look the same again $31 and change. She left the two of us took a drink, and it was like watery cherry juice maybe? One in our group sipped hers to get the small pork chop fillet down. I don't drink mine. There was absolutely no way. It was a mixed drink, and there was absolutely positively no alcohol whatsoever taste in it. The salad was basic but good, the rolls were soft, the vegetable tray was over cooked and undercooked? It was odd. The potatoes were dry, the tortellini was good, salmon was good. Nothing actually stood out. Our meals were free so that helped ALLOT!!!!! As we were leaving, we seen the waitress who got our drinks and I had tipped her 10 bucks and I said that was the worst two drinks and biggest tip for what we got that was absolutely awful. And she was stunned and said sorry. I said no problem. I'll take it back up to the Bar. Unreal, same bartender from 1st drink. I set it on the bar and said this isn't the same drink you made like 1st time. She said oh the waitress must of used pre-made. Well it's awful and there was no alcohol. She said next time make sure you have us make it into front of you. Then you can see what you're getting. Alrighty. Done At the least put a shot in my watered down one and pacify me. Nope, So $62 and $25 in tips. I will try it once more.

We got seated by the bartender/waitress and then I went to the bathroom. As soon as I came back she was chomping at the bit for our order and I haven't even looked at a menu. I decided to just get water as I had an hour drive back home and had already had a drink elsewhere. My two friends ordered there drink. The waitress said that only ordering water was not acceptable although people at our table ordered alcoholic drinks. I have never been to any bar or restaurant that tries to pressure their customers into drinking. When I told her no that I was driving she insisted I had to order a mocktail because they were like other bars/restaurants were you have to order. I have never been to a place that has pressured one person in a group to order if others had already done so. My friends drinks were already there so I wasted 5 bucks on a shirley temple that didn't even taste good. I had a few sips and then decided to leave as I felt like the night was now ruined. I will never return.

I wish our could remember our servers name but she was very attentive, was apologetic that our order was taking a little longer, which we expected when we saw the group before us, didn't mind at all as we were enjoying the conversation and drinks, and honestly there really was no extra wait time in our opinion. The kitchen did a great job that evening. I ordered off the "Secret Menu" and got the Chicken Triestana, and my husband ordered the fish and chips. When the food came to the table it was incredibly hot, full of flavor. My chicken was perfectly executed. The meat was hot, tender juicy, full of flavor and lemon and artichoke. It was enjoyed by myself, and my husband. Next was his fish, hot, crispy, thick, juicy. The cod also was very flavorful, the cole slaw was incredibly delicious and a perfect pair for the fish. The fries were hot, crispy and the perfect side also. Both meals were truly enjoyed, we can't wait to go back. The service, the kitchen staff, they knocked it out of the park in our opinion.
