    I was so disappointed that it was not decorated for Christmas. I assumed it would be and made reservations there because we went once before and the food and service was great.

    This place is a hidden gym! We just happen to hear about it on Facebook and thought we would try it! We went for brunch. It was nice and quiet. The service was phenomenal. Our waitress was literally, the best we’ve had in Michigan and I’m not exaggerating. I even told the owner that. The food was beautifully presented, and it was absolutely delicious We highly- highly recommend this restaurant

    Our brunch experience was terrific! The choice of items were so diverse and appealing. We all enjoyed for different meals. Also the music entertainment, which was a bonus for the holidays.

    We always love going here the food is amazing and we’re so happy that it’s in Pontiac! They need to have karaoke night and maybe move the entertainment to a patio so people can dance better it feels very removed from the dining experience. We love this place it’s always a great time! No complaints

    In ALL our years of dining out we have never been seated at a table, given water and menus and then been moved to another table because they wanted to give it to someone else. We went from a nice booth to a table behind the hostess stand with a view of all the people waiting to be seated and the draft from the door. Inexcusable! We had a reservation. OH, after waiting 10 minutes at this table for a server, we left. What an awful experience. Management train your staff, this is hospitality 101.

    Saw people in suits, but also in jeans. Mixed crowd. Good food, although a little heavy on sauces and dressings. Nice atmosphere. Plenty of parking.

    Mixed feelings for our first visit here. Host right off the bat seemed not happy to be working. Ok, all good, because the vibe was very nice. Cool bar and patio area, overall nicely done inside and out. We were seated on the enclosed patio. Noise level was a bit high but nothing crazy. We had some great food items and some not. On the treat side was the smash burger, fish, veggie wrap, chips and garlic fries. An extra nod to the fries, seasoned and cooked perfectly. Falling short was the bland mashed potatoes, bang bang shrimp and cole slaw. Shrimp had great flavor but came out mushy. Cole slaw side with the fish was very bland and only like two bites. Will definitely be back and try other items as the menu was diverse and covered alot of bases!!
