Well crap. I've just wasted my five years in Michigan not eating at this place constantly. It's SO good. We came here for a celebratory dinner having heard good things and having walked by once and thought, "Oh, that place looks cute." So we showed up early in the evening (they have a quirky non-reservation reservation system, perhaps the only drawback of the entire restaurant and the experience of eating there), and were lucky to be seated immediately (perhaps because it was before the dinner hour had fully started). The menu was drool-worthy... the food is so creative and exciting, and each dish looked incredible. After much deliberation, I ended up ordering a special--the swordfish. My fiance ordered the lamb risotto. And we ordered the brie appetizer. As the kitchen prepared it, we munched on their delicious bread. Why is that stuff so good?! Probably butter. We each got a class of Moscato. Very nice! And $6--not terrible. I noticed the Atwater Java Vanilla Porter on the drinks menu, as well, which we recently discovered and think has to be one of the best beers of all time. $4, again, great! I think they even had it on draft. The brie was a knock-out. It's warm and melty, served with buttery toast and this unfathomably good fig spread (thick and sweet yet savory). I wanted to lick the plate. Our entrees came with a salad, and somehow the salad was amazing, too. We got the pear gorgonzola salad on Bibb lettuce. The lettuce was so tasty, though I do wish they'd cut it into smaller pieces. And the salad had this real kick to it! My swordfish was also outstanding. Meaty, tender, cooked beautifully. My fiance said, "I didn't even know fish could be like that!" and I knew exactly what he meant. The sides--carrots, squash, and potatoes were all good. Not the best things ever, but fine additions to the main plate. Likewise the lamb risotto was insanely good--creamy and tender, and so rich in flavor. Finally, a quirky note, I got a sprig of fresh oregano with my sides. I'd never before eaten fresh oregano; what a treat! We didn't get dessert, but appreciated the little chocolate we each got with the check. Even the chocolate was great! So overall, we really loved it. It's a pricy meal--probably $40 to $60 per person (incl. tax and tip), but felt very much worth it. A beautiful place, delicious and creative food, and a menu so full of things I can't wait to go back and try.

Went there for a Friday noon lunch. No wait, got seated right away. Nice atmosphere. Ordered lunch promptly which included a house salad. Unfortunately my salad had a BUG in it which I understand can happen. I waved the waitress down and she immediately took my salad away. I watched her go straight to the manager, Michael, and show him the salad. He brought me a new salad, said "that was weird" and then asked if I wanted pepper on my salad...no apology, no offer for compensation or other explanation except "that was weird". Food is average and overpriced in my opinion. Would not recommend this restaurant.

I had a wonderful late lunch, Sautee perch, rice, spinach in brown butter with atouch of sag, oil and vinegar cole slaw

Couldn't actually get to eat here so we can't rate the food. The way reservations are run, however, is absolutely terrible. Reservations should ALWAYS be taken and honored and especially when someone is traveling from out of town and trying to set up a special night. My husband called to try to set up a reservation and was told they only take them for a party of 6 or more (VERY STUPID policy) but to call ahead at 3:30. He did this and was then told they didn't have any call ahead seating left. If you are that busy, you need to start taking reservations.

This place is delicious. They did a great job. A little pricey but worth it
