Beggar's Banquet has been making folks in East Lansing, Michigan beg for more since 1973. Not that the servings are small, but because you just don't want to stop experiencing one delicious menu item after another. It actually got its name from the proprietor's favorite Rolling Stones album that was released in 1968. The American cuisine at Beggar's Banquet is full of comfort food but with an elegant twist here and there. Options are plenty on the lunch menu, dinner menu, daily brunch menu and Sunday brunch menu. One notable item is the smoked salmon cake platter. The salmon is house-smoked then formed into three New England-style cakes, each with a different flavoring for variety that goes beyond anything you have ever had. In addition to American items, you'll also adore the "south of the border"options that Beggar's Banquet has to offer.

    My girlfriend and I had our first experience at Zynda’s on Valentine’s Day, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, the evening was flawless. The impeccable service, expertly crafted cocktails, delicious cuisine, and warm ambiance all came together to create one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. A special shoutout to Olivia, whose attentiveness, charisma, and welcoming energy made our night even more memorable. Her thoughtful recommendations and genuine conversation truly elevated the experience. Without a doubt, we’ll be back—11/10, highly recommend to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience.

    Great date night spot. Food was phenomenal. It was relatively quick service for being Valentine’s Day. Staff was friendly and helpful with menu items. We each had different martinis that were delicious. Would definitely go again.
