    Service was so slow - we waited 5 min at the door for the host to show up and waited at least 20 minutes after ordering for our drinks (restaurant was not busy, it was a Monday night). Drinks were overpriced and not anything special. There are incredible rooftop views but the drinks and services really tainted the whole experience.

    Horrible service. Was sat with no menus. Didn’t see a server for 15 minute. Didn’t get menus until 30 mins after our reservation time. Didn’t get our drinks (for 2 of us) for 45 mins.

    Waitress was rude and messed up our groups drink order. Also didn’t see the waitress for a long time, ended up take a good amount of time to get our first round of drinks, so didn’t end up staying too long due to the long waits. Looked like plenty of staff was working but couldn’t serve their tables correctly.

    Terrible! We have been to this place three times and it’s been a very poor experience each time. This is it. Officially we will never visit again. Poor service, half of the menus not available. Who runs this place and why do they still have this job?

    The ambiance is always amazing on the patio. We had after brunch cocktails sitting on the patio with the Tigers playing in the background. The signature drinks are interesting and delicious.

    Ok so I took two of my friends to this club to celebrate their birthdays. We had reservations for the patio outside, but decided it was a little too cold and windy so ended up inside at a VERY small table for 3. (We didn't have enough room for our drinks, water glasses, the food we ordered and our small plates.) The drinks were good, but certainly not worth the price we paid for them. Apparently you order the drink you want from the menu for say, $18, then you get charged another amount for the booze they put in it and they don't tell you that until you get the bill. What? The food was pretty good and the price was fair for downtown Detroit. We ordered some whitefish dip which came with toasted baguette pieces. Clearly not enough to eat all the whitefish dip and so we had the waitress bring us some additional pieces. They charged us for the additional bread. So, my question is, why don't you just make sure there are enough up front so people don't have to order more? The waitress had NO personality and she did not smile once. Even when we tried to joke with her to make her relax a little bit. She is clearly in the wrong industry. The tip we gave her reflected that. Be a little more pleasant please or stop waitressing. Used to love this club, but probably not going back except for maybe happy hour.

    Always a great ambiance. Patios are cool and a great view of the city but windy and chilly in colder weather. Overall, a great atmosphere.
