Came in tonight on a whim and sat at the bar. It was a moderately busy night and we got to watch the Bartender, Jay, make these gorgeous cocktails all night. He's a true artist!!! Tony, the barback, was super attentive. The both gave 5 star service. We had wine, whiskey and some MI beer and it was all lovely. The atmosphere and Playlist were very nice. What about the food you ask? We had Your Grandmother's Ravioli, house made stuffed with meat and topped with amazing marinara. The star of the show, aside from Jay and Tony, were the lamb meatballs. I highly recommend this swanky little gem.
Came here in the summer last year and it was such a pleasant experience! I've been here one other time prior to this visit and got to try their pizza and some appetizers. This was a perfect date night meal and the service was wonderful! Our server was helpful and came prepared with recommendations when we felt torn. Need to come back soon to try more!
Delicious! I've been two times when I visit Detroit and I've ordered the sheep milk hot honey cheese dip and the pistachio cake with olive oil ice cream both times. The service is impeccable. They treat you so well and remember tiny details to ensure you're happy. Decor is lovely. I do wish they turned the music down a bit so we could talk.
I'm not really an Italian food fan, but we wanted to try a new restaurant for new years. Our waiter was phenomenal, so that was a plus. For appetizers we ordered the lamb meatballs, ricotta cheese, and colorful cauliflower. The meatballs were super moist and the included sauce was the perfect touch! The flavor of the cauliflower was light yet still good. For entree I ordered the scallops (a total of 3) with the hazelnut puree on the side. THE SCALLOPS TOUCHED MY SOUL! EACH ONE COOKED TO PERFECTION and every bite made me melt. And the wine I had paired so well with it. As for the pièce de résistance, raspberry lemon sorbet! My taste buds could not be any happier. It was beyond delicious!
i've been meaning to try this place for a while and glad I finally got the chance. let's start with how the decor is absolutely immaculate. This place has such a beautiful ambience, the only shame was the music was all over the place and didn't really go with the interiors in my opinion however that's such a minor thing but it would really help elevate the experience. I got the king crab linguine, the focaccia, the steak and the bombaloni. I also share the sheep's milk, ricotta, brussels sprouts, and tuna Crudo in my opinion, the sheep's milk ricotta with foccacia was AMAZING and the tuna crude hit all the flavors. The entrees were good but i was more blown away by the appetizers. The service is also fantastic. They are consistently checking on you.
