AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Nettare stands out as a "gem" with "incredible food, service, and ambiance." The restaurant's "rotating menu" keeps the dining experience exciting, while the "amazing cocktails" and "top-notch staff" enhance every visit. Although some dishes need refinement, the "seasonal, creative" offerings and "beautiful decor" make it a must-visit destination.

We were seated promptly but waited at least 15 minutes for someone to come to the table to take our drink order. In fact, I had to flag a waiter over to our table. Before the drinks came our waitress came to the table apologizing for the wait. The food is very good but very rich. The walleye was outstanding. There were 2 of us and we ordered 3 items which was more than enough, no dessert. My biggest complaint was that it was just too noisy, partly due to a very large party seated next to us. Would I go back? Probably not.

I was really excited about this place, but the food was pretty mediocre. We got the roasted cabbage, beef empanadas, cacio e pepe dip, and the short rib. The cabbage was definitely the star of the show. The short rib, however, was very chewy. The beef empanadas were dry and had a fishy taste to them - very strange. The drinks were very overpriced for what they were. The vibe was very cool, but I think that Nettare needs to step up if they want to compete with other trendy restaurants in the neighborhood with much better food (e.g., Maxwell's Trading). I don't think I would return again, unfortunately.

Felt like they were trying too hard to be on theme and missed on the food entirely. Drinks were okay on average. Service was good, but overall value was poor. They have some kinks to work out before I’d go back again.

Really had a wonderful meal at a place with a really cool vibe! The trout was amazing, as was the boneless leg of lamb! The fennel salad was great! Great decor. And an interesting selection of good wines, all from Michigan! (Yes, I eas surprised that those words would even come out of my mouth - and I’m from Michigan!) This place deserves all the 5-star ratings it gets!

We absolutely love Nettare! Without fail, we have the best service, food, and drinks. The vibes are excellent, although it is a bit noisy at peak times. Couldn't recommend more!

Always leave here full and happy. Nettare's menu is delightful, delicious, and there's always something new to try. The staff is wonderful, talented, and fun. I recommend sitting at the chef's counter, to watch the magic happen
