    What a great location and a fine menu. Interesting choices on the menu and the food was tasty. The server was perfect amount of attentive and leaving us alone too. I wish the wine list was a little more robust, especially by the glass. We ended up with a bottle, but I found the choices not as interesting as I hoped. Also, I asked they make it special for a birthday and they did this! And you can't beat this location, especially at the holiday season!

    Our advice is: dont put too much effort on deciding, as everything is absolutely amazing! We've been coming here everytime we came to Detroit since 2022 and we've seen our share of new dishes everytime... and tried them. No regrets whatsoever!

    Everything as usual was perfect except that the wait person helping our waiter was much too eager to clear the table while one of the women in our party was still eating. He should know that you do not remove plates or silverware until all in the group are finished eating. He attempted to take her plate 2 times before she was finished.

    Food and Service were excellent. We went for lunch on a Wednesday, and it was crowded, Glad we had an Open Table reservation. My wife had the Grilled Shrimp appetizer as her main and I got the Diavola Pizza (No. 8) as my main. They were both great and large enough for us to both have a meal for take home. We finished up with the Pumpkin Gelato as perfect desert for this time of year. Our Server, Katherine F, was outstanding.
