I decided to try a frame pop-up because I saw what looked like a pretty damn good menu for a "May…read morethe 4th be with you" Star Wars event. It was a cool event under the big tent behind framebar, which they transformed into the "Galactic Traveler Lounge"... there was even a hot Sith waitress in there too ; ) The food from the guest chef was delicious. The drinks were really really good and I think the bartendress is the resident for most of frames events. This event cost me many galactic credits, about $120 including tip in US dollars for just myself for a 5 course meal and two drinks. Is that expensive? Hell yes. Do I find myself saying that in most reviews? Yes I do. Is this probably a new normal in eating out now? Yes it probably is. Bottom line, check frames website for a menu and themed night you think will be cool and go for it. It's a special occasion, once in a blue moon thing to do and an enjoyable thing to do with friends or a date.

Tonight was my first time at Frame! A friend and I went for the Val's Pizza pop-up. Originally we…read morewere scheduled to go for Khana last week, but due to the weather, we emailed Frame and asked if we could go today instead. First off: definitely book a reservation here, I didn't see too many walk-ins but I think they did have one or two open tables. Depending on what event/pop-up you attend, your price may vary, but ours was $25 per person, which was deducted from our bill at the end of the night, and a $3 processing fee. We started off with drinks - I had the Basil Vodka Collins and my friend got the Fig Vespa. We actually ended up switching drinks because hers was much sweeter than mine, and I prefer sweet drinks. We had seen photos of focaccia on Val's IG page but unfortunately they didn't offer that; they did have breadsticks, so we got that, but I was not super impressed with them. HOWEVER. This gets its own line ... the breadsticks came with TOMATO BUTTER, and I'm not even sure what was in it, but it was freaking delicious. And this comes from someone who hates tomato soup/cold tomato products. For pizzas, we split a White Pie, with prosciutto added, and the VP special. I thought the VP special was fine but not fantastic ... it had hot honey on it and I couldn't really taste it, which was disappointing, because honey on pizza is usually very good. The White Pie, though, was great, and I highly recommend adding the prosciutto. We finished with the handmade chocolate cannoli which was surprising - both in texture and flavor - and very, very good. The menu says it has chocolate ricotta, marscapone, lemon, and cinnamon sugar, and its shell was very delicate and more like a churro than any cannoli I've had before, although my friend says cannolis are supposed to have more delicate shells. Overall, everything was very good, although it was a bit of a pricey night - after the $25 deposit we each paid, our bills were $20 each, so after tip it ended up being about $29 (+ the $25), for a total of $54 each. However, that was with breadsticks, dessert, two pizzas, and one alcoholic drink each, so I guess it's not too terrible. Some general Frame tips, since as Tiffany (other Yelper) pointed out, the menus change weekly/monthly: 1) Frame doesn't have its own parking lot - you can park either on the street to the right of it, OR you can park in the Mabel Grey parking lot next door (that's what we did, at least - not sure if MG allows it, technically!). 2) Check the website for all of the upcoming pop-ups, as they are all pretty different. 3) They do cooking classes there too, and I was wondering where they were holding them - until I was waiting in line for the bathroom, and someone left, opened a door which looked like a painting, and I saw one was being conducted in that room! Completely different vibe than in the regular Frame part where we were sitting (low/romantic lighting in ours, fluorescent lighting in theirs, haha), so that was pretty interesting. Overall, very nice experience at Frame, and I hope to return for either a cooking class or another pop-up!

Another far away drive for us to Hall Rd East of M-53. The kids wouldn't steer me wrong! In thinking back, the wait staff were very helpful. There were a couple of items I was not familiar with. My oldest niece and nephew spoke Tagalog with one woman for the duration of our visit. Great job on the Pancit noodles. Cooked exactly as they should be. The whole dish was a winner. Once again I'm left confused. The boys said it was a vegetarian dish, but there was a ton of pork in it!?!? Maybe it's supposed to be vegetarian and they knew I wouldn't eat it that way?? Matters not, it was delicious. The lumpia is crazy addicting and the Bistek was tender, juicy and full of flavour. DO NOT walk out of there without at least sampling the lumpia or the skewers. 07/25

This is a pop up shop, so review is on food only not the location…read more I've experienced them on two prior occasions and the consistency with the food is crazy!! The oxtails are a favorite of mine. The gravy that they are in is seasoned perfectly, the rice and peas (which I don't normally like anywhere else) are amazing, the cabbage is sautéed with a small kick of spice.. perfect darn meal. They do have plantains that come with the meal when ordering carry out, or you can pay extra for them when dining in. Because it's a pop up restaurant drinks do not come with the meal (they do serve water). The particular location did have an option to purchase separately from the bar. The Boston cooler pictured (Vernon's and ice cream ) hit the spot. If you ever see them in your area stop in, it's worth it

The shops are cute, but small, so to be able to look around there cannot be too many people inside. At the end is the pop up bar/restaurant. We did not eat anything, just had a couple of drinks. The cocktails are in the $13-14 range and are pretty good. The bar tenders are friendly and dressed for the season. Since our timing was good, we were able to actually enjoy the decor and find seats on the leather couches (where are these stored during the year...?)

The "Detroit street food" carryout counter is located inside of a gas station on Clark & Vernor in Southwest Detroit. There is signage outside, on the Clark Street side of the building. Inside the gas station, there is a sign for another food business. I thought that I was at the wrong location, but went outside and called the phone number listed on Instagram. The gentleman that answered the number, which turned out to be the gas station phone number, assured me that I was at the right place. I went back in, snapped few pics, and ordered. I wanted to try something exciting, but I wasn't sure what to get. I settled on a shrimp tempura taco and crunchy crab legs. My order totaled just shy of $30. The fried crab legs reminded me of mozzarella sticks. I only took a few bites. The snack seemed to be imitation krab. It came with seasoned fries and three different dipping sauces. It's a really kool snack item, but I don't think I'd order it again. The taco was more to my liking. It's essentially a deconstructed sushi roll. The tempura shrimp, sauces and cucumber sit on a bed of sushi rice on top of a fried wonton wrapper. It looked super cool and was very tasty. The dish was topped with crunchies. The menu is small and kitschy with fusion-style snacks. My carryout bag was packed with care and included a few Andes chocolate mints. I'll support the owner again trying other items and will share it with others.

Six large and juicy skewered shrimp, seasoned perfectly. On the side, a bit of the cucumber salad. This was perfect on a hot summer day. We also ordered sides of kidney beans and collard greens. Both of these deserve an ovation and could stand alone as stars on a vegetarian/low meat plate. The country rice is so good, perfect for the gravy formed from the oil in stews. We washed it all down with expertly crafted fresh fruit cocktails - the Nimba Night and Liberian Girl in particular were fantastic! I'm returning soon to soak in the beauty of this artfully blessed space, and to nibble on even more of the exotic tastes. Great job Little Liberia!

I have been following Little Liberia launch progress and was excited to be able to experience those west African flavors again. Liberian cuisine has been near impossible to get in the Detroit area since the early 80's. I haven't had any in a while. Fate however delayed me. I don't own a car and the restaurant is 25 miles away, Outside all the delivery apps ranges. So I couldn't get the food for months. Until today. Little Liberia is in a new hip part of Detroit. The neighborhood is walkable and has bikeways. New residential developments and inevitable gentrification are afoot. This restaurant deserves to be either in your regular rotation or a priority visit for a change of pace. It is well decorated and modern. It has a small bar and banquet space plus outdoor summer seating. The food was everything I remembered. The cassava leaf were so reminiscent of my year at LU, I would have been choked up but that would have slowed the pleasure that each forkful of the two entrees and one side I ordered delivered. I would have ordered more but they weren't serving a couple of my all time favorites check rice and potato greens today. I'll definitely be back to get those. Went on a Friday after the lunch rush.
