    They didn’t serve an item on the menu I was going to order. The waitress said it was because the restaurant was no longer ‘French’! It also was VERY noisy. Finally, the fish I had to order because they weren’t ’French’ wasn’t cooked properly.

    Disappointed in the food - salmon was fishy and halibut was bland and dry. Dessert and service were great though… not worth the price.

    I made a reservation here for my wife and I ahead of a Lions home game. It started great, the vibes were dope, they had a great DJ, and the staff was nice. But things went downhill pretty quickly... First, they...are...slow. It took quite some time to get my espresso martini, but I wasn't that pressed. But the food took FOREVER. I ordered chicken & waffles, and my wife order the cheeseburger & pommes frites. Mines was pretty good, but her fries were cold, the burger was pink after she asked for well done (and had asked the server to confirm the kitchen can do it), and the sauce she asked for on the side was missing. We told the server, and she took it back and brought another burger...that was also pink. She gave up on that and ordered the short rib...which then took a whole 'nother FOREVER to come out. There was a notable negative change in demeanor from our server as well after sending the first dish back. We were told more than once that the kitchen & bar were backed up and they were slammed. I would expect that this would be expected before a home football game. Again, they had a DJ and there was staff wearing Lions gear, I don't think this situation snuck up on them. Overall a ton of unrealized potential. My experience matches many of the others I've seen: nice ambiance with slow service and meh food. Vibes aren't enough, I won't be returning.

    Food was excellent, however service was terrible and there was a DJ playing music too loud which did not allow us to have a great experience
