    Brandon was our server and was fantastic. The Lobster tacos, delicious. Cocktails took a bit long to come out, but tasty once they arrived. It was a busy night but loved the dining experience.

    It was our first time at the place… we reserved the igloo for our dinner, our server was excellent! Her recommendations were perfect! If you go to this place do not hesitate to order the wings with their chili sesame sauce, they are incredible! The Cuban sandwich really is the best I have eaten in Michigan! The food is definitely super good! The beer and wine are excellent! So if you want to have an amazing time… this is definitely the place.
