Beggar's Banquet has been making folks in East Lansing, Michigan beg for more since 1973. Not that the servings are small, but because you just don't want to stop experiencing one delicious menu item after another. It actually got its name from the proprietor's favorite Rolling Stones album that was released in 1968. The American cuisine at Beggar's Banquet is full of comfort food but with an elegant twist here and there. Options are plenty on the lunch menu, dinner menu, daily brunch menu and Sunday brunch menu. One notable item is the smoked salmon cake platter. The salmon is house-smoked then formed into three New England-style cakes, each with a different flavoring for variety that goes beyond anything you have ever had. In addition to American items, you'll also adore the "south of the border"options that Beggar's Banquet has to offer.

    First time visit to the Brighton Bar and Grill. Very classy place. We sat in a booth in the dining room, rather than in the bar area. The setting was plush and comfortable. Service was excellent, as was the food. Portions were substantial, and prices were very fair. I will definitely return for more.

    We sat outside with heaters and it was comfortable. Much quieter than inside. Flat bread pizzas and mushroom soup are delicious. We have been here several times and the food is good, and the service is friendly. It is always busy and a little loud inside.

    We had a great experience for our first time dining at Ciao. Our waiter Marki Marc was fantastic and the food was delicious! The dress attire is casual even though it’s an upscale Italian restaurant.

    My daughter graduated from Michigan State University and we needed a place for dinner afterwards. I found Zynda's on Open Table and I made the reservations for 8. Our server was excellent, food was delicious, drinks yummy and the carrot cake amazing. I highly recommend Zynda's
