Full review on Tiktok @ bonnie.babyyyy …. the truffle fries were a no go . They were awful i should’ve sent them back… The bang bang shrimp was the best appetizer to me ! Customer service was just ok !

I really enjoyed this place the atmosphere was nice the food was delicious the only reason why I'm giving it four stars is because our service was mediocre. We ordered waygu sliders and they never came. When our waitress realized we hadn't received them, they gave us complimentary shots and told us thr kitchen had burnt them, but they are remaking them. We waited about 45 minutes and still hadn't received them. I told the waitress to not worry about them at this point We were ready to go. They brought them anyway and didn't charge them for us. The truffle fries were AMAZING. Overall, I liked the food and would definitely return. I just hope the service is a little more attentive next time.

Celebrated a birthday party with a large group. We were seated upstairs and it was a great time! The DJ was playing great hits and helped keep the party lit! The food was very well made and tasted amazing. The drinks were mediocre, and the wait in between ordering rounds was about 30 minutes a round. only negative I have to say is that they only had two bathrooms stalls for everyone to use, so the lines were super long. Overall definitely recommend!

I was seated on the main floor. There is an upstairs. I’m not sure if it’s just for parties. I like to see pictures of the food before ordering. I looked at photos from reviews. I decided to go with the shrimp. It look like they have went down on the portion size for the food. I’ll come back for a drink. This is not somewhere that I’ll come to if I’m really hungry.

We were seated 30 minutes late due to a large party. However, we were able to grab a drink at the bar. The staff did confirm policy is to auto gratuity guest at 20% not a huge fan of that. However the food is amazing!

The FOOD WAS AWESOME!!! Can’t wait to go back

My brother and I went here a couples weeks ago for dinner before going to see The Lion King at the Detroit Opera House. The staff was friendly and helpful. I asked my waitress for a drink recommendation, something sweet and fruity, and she nailed it. I wish I remembered what the drink was called so I could recommend it.Food wise I was quite happy as well. The only thing I didn't particularly like was the mushroom dumplings, which is a shame because I usually love mushroom centric dishes. But in this case the mushroom filling was under seasoned, which brought down the whole dish. Another thing I want to note for people who are looking to try the charred octopus, the way the dish is cooked brings out a rather pungent smell and distinct favor in the octopus that wouldn't otherwise be present in say an octopus salad. Just something to take into consideration before ordering. My absolutely favorite dish of the evening was the Ahi Tuna Nachos, so definitely recommend those.All-in-all, I enjoyed my experience.

Very unique dining experience. Great service. Fantastic presentation. Highly Recommended

Very cute place. A bit pricey but I guess its worth it. The alcoholic beverages were a little watered down but whatever. It is what it is. Good food, great ambiance. Our server was really nice as well. My biggest complaint would be their restroom situation. They have unisex bathrooms. I personally don’t wanna to go to the same public restroom as men. Also its only one stall so there was always a wait outside the bathroom. Also I noticed they have no paper towels inside the restroom. Only hand dryer’s. Once again I personally do not like hand dryers. I like to dry my hands with paper towel. Other than that, i would recommend. They had a dessert that was to die for. Some type of cake with fresh strawberries and like a strawberry preserve on top. It was delicious

Another gem in downtown Detroit. We sat at the bar upstairs with amazing service. The Shishito Peppers were a great appetizer. The orange chicken and vegetable fried rice were the perfect pair. The butter cake was delightful.
