    Stopped in for the Lent Buffet a couple of weeks ago with some friends. It was all great. The…read morepeople who work there are friendly and very accommodating, and the food was delicious. There was a lot more variety than I ever thought possible for a buffet without meat. I would really like if they took credit cards, but I understand, it is not always easy to set these things up, and it is costly. It was so good we are going back this Friday for Good Friday. Keep doing what you are doing!

    So this place is amazing except it's more of a pop up. What I mean by that is it isn't always open…read moreand I'm not sure how long they'll be open long term. One thing I can say is that it is amazing! My husband and I made a reservation online for an igloo. We were greeted and taken to our igloo. It was very nice, we ordered some beverages and an appetizer to start. We got the Arincini to start and oooooohhh myyyy goodness, please get it! It was so yummy, the oooy gooey ness of the rice and mozzarella was exquisite, they also served it with marinara meat sauce! Great combination! The lamb chops were super tender and marinated to perfection. The mashed potatoes were also a hit for us, they use fresh potatoes and whipped it enough to be the perfect amount of creaminess. My hubby bear got the surf and turf, that was exceptional, the lobster and butter just melt in your mouth & the steak was cooked perfectly (medium rare) ;) the only thing was we wished his dish had more meat haha because who wouldn't want more of that yummy goodness. It is a bit pricey but well worth it. Everyone there was super attentive and sweet. One thing that we were a little bummed about was the igloo was a bit cold my toes and fingers were pretty cold. They have a small heater in there but I would advise you to bundle up but the food and service makes up for it all!! Bon appétit!

    Such a beautiful venue! The views alone make it a great…read moreplace to hold an event. The ceilings are tall and the decor was very sophisticated. There were a lot of spider webs on the outside of the windows due to being so close to the lake. If you don't like bugs, I don't recommend this venue! For the most part the staff was friendly but they did seem to be a little bit rushy a little bit before halfway through. They took my silverware before I was done eating without asking. The entrance is handicap accessible although there are no signs indicating that. I was trying to open the front door when suddenly they opened by themselves so I was caught off guard. It is a great venue for sights and pictures!

    There was some grounds construction or refurbishment going on when we stopped by today. Temporary…read morebarriers and some orange cones pointed people to other directions. I was just interested in the historical marker and the building itself. Unfortunately, we did not have an opportunity to walk the grounds around the building to view the lake as a keen eye can see across to Canada from here. The marker reads, "Russell A. Alger, Jr., (1873-1930) son of Michigan's Governor Russell Alger, built this Italian Renaissance style mansion in 1910. Alger was one of the founders of the Packard Motor Car Company, Charles A. Platt of New York designed this elaborate structure, and Ellen Shipman of New York landscaped the grounds. The home, situated on Lake St. Clair, was referred to as "The Moorings." Alger lived here until his death in 1930. From 1936 to 1948, the house was used by the Detroit Institute of Arts as a branch museum. In 1949 it was deeded to the Grosse Pointe War Memorial Association in memory of those who served and died in our nation's wars and for facilitating the educational, cultural and civic needs of the community." It also mentions that it was erected in 1983 by the Michigan History Division. Russell A. Alger, Sr. was a Civil War general who served as the 20th Governor of Michigan from 1885 to 1887, US Senator and eventually, US Secretary of War under President William McKinley from 1897 to 1899. He was replaced during the Spanish-American War. The original home is still here and has had an auditorium added in 1962 and art wings added in 1977 and 1993. The original home building was donated by the Alger family to the Grosse Pointe War Memorial Association in 1949 and is an event venue. I'd like very much for someone to invite me to a wedding here!
