It was the 1930s and Six Mile and Conant was like any street corner in Detroit… people walking to the market, neighbors helping neighbors, and friends meeting at the local gathering spot now known as Buddy’s. Buddy’s existed as a “blind pig,” skirting the State and Federal laws that governed the on-site sale and usage of alcohol. Booze was available there. The owner at the time was August “Gus” Guerra.

    The signature Don’t Speak cocktail was good. Chianti was very nice. Break basket always wonderful. Oysters were too small. Roasted beet salad was good. Roasted cabbage and lentils entree was outstanding. Chocolate hazelnut torte was very good. Service was outstanding. Christmas tree and roaring fire made it all so cozy.

    The food was outstanding, the ambience lovely and serene, the service was impeccable. So often "fine dining experiences can take too long, but this was perfectly balanced. We were in and out in about 90 min, which was just the right combination of attentive but unobtrusive. It is pricey though, so be prepared for that.

    It was a small very nice atmosphere! The staff we interacted with were nice and friendly! My husband and I were a bit disappointed in the food. We had the Brussels for an appetizer and they tasted and looked overcooked some dry burnt. The main entree was mediocre, for both of us. We are in no way food snobs. We eat everywhere… our anniversary we decided to try this restaurant because we drive by it regularly. Likely will not go again. Sorry Bar Verona.

    Magical best describes our dinner. Everything from the moment we walked in was perfect. This is a great place for large gatherings as well as small intimate meet ups. This is a wonderful restaurant that I feel outshines all others in the area.
