    Main server was good. The brussle sprout appetizer was very good. Two of us were splitting a chicken and shrimp fajitas and came out 10-15 minutes behind others at our table of 6. When it came out it was chicken and steak. I have never ordered steak fajitas in my life. Looked at the bill and it had just said fajitas. At that point the others at our table were half way done with dinner, so we just ate the chicken, and left the steak. Asked the person serving the food for extra fajita, which never came.

    We had a great dining experience overall. The ambiance is cozy despite being a large open space. Our level of service was top notch…friendly, attentive, clearing dishes/glasses promptly. The menu is extensive! We ordered a variety of food and it was all good. Prices are inline with other restaurants, about $20 for a casual entree. The cocktails were delicious and well crafted with fresh ingredients. We will go back!

    We had dinner with a group of 4 adults and 3 children (ages 8, 7, 5). The service was top notch, the food was excellent, and they were very good/tolerant with our kids who were drawn to the stage and wanted to dance to Christmas music. The music started getting too loud to talk around 7:30/7:45 as they prepared for karaoke but that's to be expected. We have frequented the location in New Baltimore and we always say they do both tacos and sushi well - and it seems to be the case at the Royal Oak location. I do wish the kids' chicken tenders were a bit higher quality (my daughter's one complaint), but that's minor. The menu is almost overwhelming with choices - but you really can't go wrong.

    Food and service were fine. The draw is live music. I heard a nice jazzy set from Tres Suite (I may not have that name exactly.)
