Prost was such a fun Valentine's Day spot for us! It was our first time in, and overall we had a…read morereally great experience. Our server, Tanner, was genuinely kind and welcoming, which made a big difference. The table was set nicely when we arrived -- wine glass and water glass, silverware wrapped with cloth napkins on a side plate, and a candle lit off to the side. It felt thoughtful and perfect for a date night. We split the French Onion Soup to start, and it was delicious. Maybe a little pricey at $12, but it came with lots of cheese and bread (plus bread on the side), so it felt worth it as a starter. My boyfriend ordered a Long Island Iced Tea -- strong, but no complaints there -- and I got cranberry juice. Both drinks came out in the same glassware as the water, styled like cocktails, which I actually appreciated. No weird "different treatment" if you're not drinking alcohol, which is always a plus to me. We also did the Build-Your-Own Board, which was really fun, and Tanner was super helpful in guiding us through the choices. We picked Summer Sausage, Garlic & Herb Soft Cheese, Smoked Gouda, Fire Roasted Tomatoes, and Balsamic Onion Jam. The Fire Roasted Tomatoes were SO GOOD, and I usually don't even like tomatoes. They were soaking in olive oil (I think?), which had great flavor and paired perfectly with the bread and Garlic & Herb Cheese. I also really enjoyed the Balsamic Onion Jam, savory, slightly sweet, and a little goes a long way. Overall, everything tasted great. I was a little disappointed in the portion of Smoked Gouda compared to the soft cheese, especially considering some soft cheeses can retail around $30 per pound. If you're looking for the best value, you might consider a different cheese option. That said, extra bread was only $1, which felt like a great deal for the amount we received. We were honestly getting pretty full and almost couldn't finish it all. We were seated in the cellar area, which was okay, just a little small, and the music was pretty loud. Not ideal for a Valentine's date when you're trying to have a conversation. Random but important: the bathrooms were spectacular. Individual, spacious, very clean, nice sink setup, pump soap, automatic paper towel dispenser, and even a candle lit. Honestly, 10/10 bathroom experience. Overall, it's a really solid date night spot with great service and good food. Just a couple small tweaks (music volume and cheese portions!) would make it even better. We'd definitely come back.

It took about 40 minutes to get our food on a Friday night, when the restaurant was half empty/full. Kelsi, our server, said the kitchen was bottlenecked. She was fantastic in taking care of us. No issues there. For me, the chicken was undercooked and cold in the center. I asked Kelsi about this, she took it to a manager who looked at it, then walked over to us. For the manager, (I don't remember their name) an individual in a beanie and "The Shire" sweater, we had a negative interaction. The manager said this was how the food was supposed to be served. That she checked with the chef and this is what it should look like. I get bone in chicken has a different look or cooking, but I'm not sure about cold (pink, gelatinous, translucent). Either way, loved the ambiance of the restaurant. Did not love the unsafe food. Added the day following: Got food poisoning from this chicken. Was sick around 2 am or so the day after. Not sure if I can trust food from there again.

The inside and ambiance is very nice , warm with nice outdoor seating. It's not huge so call early if you want a reservation . We sat at the bar that was very nice with very comfortable bar stools . Our bartender was very cordial and attentive as well. To start our meal we shared an order of calamari. Cooked perfectly and flavor and sauce was delicious. As for meals I ordered seafood chowder and the Raviolo, one buddy ordered the the Grouper Reuben and one the Seared Grouper . My meal soup was dialed in I LOVE SOUP year round this was terrific . As for my main meal the Raviolo was horrible. Horrible sorry but is was not good at all, and we mutually agreed. The dough was way too thick or heavy , too chewy and the meat inside was over cooked. The sauce was tasty but didn't save this overall terrible dish. My other buddies Grouper Rueben with fries was flavorless and the fries were also terrible, mushy and no flavor as well. The last meal my buddies Seared Grouper was very good , perfectly prepared and very nice presentation . We did of course need to go one more level and order desert. I love real key lime pie and who can turn down fresh cooked warm chocolate cookie and vanilla ice cream . Sorry the Key Lime Pie has work to do on the flavor it was nowhere near a Florida Keys Key Lime pie and had a weird after taste we all agree again. I have had Key Lime pie all over the country especially in Florida this was not in the same league . Now the Cookie, well show stopper delicious . Overall our meals 1/3 approval , food service was slow for being a smaller restaurant with plenty of servers. desserts 1/2 still below par on score. We agree we MIGHT go back but our bill was 180.00 not cheap for a subpar meal. Until next time

A pleasant surprise…read more About a week ago, I was out with my friends and we were looking for a chill place to just hang out and have a few drinks that wasn't too crowded when we happened upon this quiet little hangout rather by accident. For some reason, it seemed everyone in town was out that night and each one of our preferred watering holes was either too crowded or just felt meh to us. After meeting up in Flint Township after work, we were struggling to settle on an ideal, perhaps new, place that also served decent bar food, but was laid back and not filled with Nascar fans, dbags or overly drunk 21 year old girls. After ditching two other establishments because they were not our scene, we came across Vic's Place, quite by happenstance. Vic's Place was definitely the answer. Located around the back of the new Ruggero's location (with a separate bar entrance), Vic's was a nice, quiet alternative. It wasn't a lame sports bar or dive bar, just a quiet pub with good food and drinks. The food was quite good and the menu was fairly extensive, ostensibly because the food comes from the Ruggero's culinary team. After all, they are located within the same building. The food menu featured a lot of pasta dishes and specialty pizzas, as well as the basic tenets of bar food, namely burgers, sandwiches and deep fried appetizers. I split a ginormous order of loaded nachos, heavy on the traditional fixings with a pretty decent hot sauce on the side. My friend, Jen, ordered a personal margherita pizza and while I didn't sample her dish, it looked great, plus she said it was quite good and would order it again. Vic's had an extensive list of beers on tap, which I like in a bar, as well as a nice selection of craft beers. Draft beers came in two sizes- big and humongous. Guess which size I had. Anyway, the beer and wine lists were impressive and the cocktails, while they took a long time to hit the table, were fun, inventive and decidedly not on the weak side. The Old Fashioned was a good classic, strong, but subtle in all the right places. I'd order it again in a heartbeat. My friend, Jen, asked the bartender to "whip up something unique." She was not disappointed. Her nameless concoction was an ode to a Manhattan, but with a twist. I tried it and she was right- it was sublime. I liked the atmosphere. It was laid back and quiet, despite the fact that there were quite a few people in the place, seated up at the bar and at tables. The bar had a jukebox. That was kinda interesting. It wasn't something you see everyday. As for decor, there was a fire pit near our table and the bar was outfitted with a mix of high tops and low tables, with a slightly elevated seating area near the jukebox and the fire pit, which was where we were seated. Be careful when you step down or you'll trip, especially if you're a bit inebriated. The service was a little slow and it definitely took a little bit longer to receive our food than it probably would in a typical dive bar or a greasy spoon, but it wasn't that bad and there was only one bartender on duty pretty much the entire time we were there. Plus, the food was clearly quite a few notches above basic bar grub, anyway. Prices were on par with what one would expect. The draft beer specials were cheap and well worth the extra money to order the larger size draft. I will definitely be back. Our group came in with low expectations and left with any preconceived notions about the place completely shattered. Definitely a nice place for a quiet drink with friends after work or happy hour.
