    A gem in downtown Flint. The place has an awesome vibe. Our waitstaff were attentive and the food was delicious.

    Birthday Dinner - Cab Sav #ftw
    Stacy M.

    Went here for my birthday dinner during Covid! We made reservations and had a great location for a group. We had enough room and were well distanced from the next table over. I was accompanied by a group of 5 Our service was nice. We started with wine which they have a great list. I did the Cabernet Sauvignon I think it was the $13/ glass one don't know the exact name. I ordered the harvest dip for the table which was squash onions and yogurt (spices too) pretty good but I've definitely never had that before. Served with pita. For my main dish I ordered off the featured menu. I had the NY Strip medium with a side of pomme frites and asparagus. Unfortunately the first time the steak was over cooked but the second they brought out was perfect and really appreciated the ease of switching out for my order. I'm from out of town so I did look at quite a few restaurants before selecting this one and I am happy I did. Had a great menu and a great wine selection.

    Nice atmosphere, nice decor. Waitress was rude & burdened by questions but I wont base this review on that. Cheese & cracker board app was good with flavored hummus. Calamari was plain & bland. Croque Monsieur sandwich seemed the same & came with no side for a dinner entree. Just a bit overpriced for me for what you get, which was nothing extra and nothing that would bring me back.

    Mahi Mahi Tacos. Could use just a little kick.

    Cork on Saginaw is a great restaurant and I have been here now several times for different occasions. As a dinner restaurant, this place is worth 5-stars, no question about it. It's chic, romantic, hip, and the food served is fantastic. The oysters are always fresh and the tasty specials are worth exploring (please do see previous reviews I'd posted about Cork). I recently had the opportunity to attend the Sunday Brunch and would be amiss not to add that to my review. Unfortunately, Cork is losing a star in the process because it is somewhat of a different experience. Every 2nd Sunday of the month, Cork does Brunch. I knew it would be busy and made a reservation for 2. After arriving we were told that our table was not ready and were luckily able to find a spot at the bar for a beverage. It is a bummer we were not given a Sunday brunch menu and were unaware of the specialty brunch cocktails. It took 25 minutes before our table was ready, and while I understand they were busy, larger parties who arrived after us were seated at their tables within minutes. So here are a couple other observations we made during our time which differed from our usual experience at Cork: The usually muted noise level that gives Cork the classy ambiance in the evening was replaced with almost rowdy noise. My wife and I had to yell to converse or lean across the table, and neither of us has hearing problems. Most of the time we did a combination of both. Observing tables next to us, wherever we saw Eggs Benedict, they were served with solid yokes. That's a gastronomical no-no. Also, changing the preparation of eggs on dishes they were served with was not an option, unless the choice was to leave it off. Still, the food we ordered was good and we would enjoy it again under different conditions. Summing up, I stand by my 5-star rating for this restaurant in the evening. For Brunch, I would give it somewhere around 3 stars, which averages out to my new, 4-star review.

    "Special" Teriyaki Salmon, asparagus, pineapple on bed of rice. EXCELLENT

    Cozy atmosphere, great wines and service. I recommend a booth in the back. The main seating is a little too crowded.

    Is this place fancy? Trying to go for a fancy date.

    It can be. It's definitely not a place for riff raff. Check their social media, they sometimes have special music nights. Many FSO goers frequent here before the Saturday symphony. Make a reservation just in case. You won't be out of place… Read more

    Flint has a lot of bars- and this is one of them…read more For certain, it was a heck of a lot better back in the day when it was the Backroom. I went here all of the time as a college student when it was known as the Backroom and later I dropped in once in awhile when it was called Kelly's, until it was sold and became the Loft. Yep, it's a dive bar, always has been and always will be, but the really good old days of the dive bar experience here are sadly gone. As dive bars go, I've seen better and I've seen worse. In fact, if look up the phrase "dive bar," you will probably come across a picture of the Loft. You can't order food here, the "dance floor" is tiny, the music is sometimes good, sometimes not. Don't let me get started on the parking situation- it's terrible and you might as well make a mad dash to wherever you managed to park your car when you leave! It's actually laughable. Some of the cocktails are a bit overpriced for what you are getting (sometimes weak or improperly made), but service largely depends on if you are regular or friend of a friend. Random strangers probably tend to get the short end of the stick. I admit, I've gotten free drinks here before, but that's because the staff knows me. Rodney, the owner, is a great guy, but sometimes the bar runs out of essentials, like premium spirits and mixers. I wish the bar staff would just get it together and make certain that the bar is properly stocked to avoid having to order something alternative because they're out of the appropriate ingredients. Beer selection is just average, but they do carry Stella Artois, one of my favorites, so the Loft has that going for itself. While I don't particularly care for most of their cocktails (either too sweet or extremely tart- so much for a happy medium), the bartenders do make a good mojito and a decent old fashioned, though. My preferred cocktail is a whisky sour, which is pretty easy to make and the last few I ordered kinda sucked. They just didn't taste right, too tart. More often than not, I haven't cared for the vibe, the atmosphere, etc. There are just way too many barfly types hanging around drinking draft beer all night. Plus, I often run into an ex or two here and that's just bad mojo all around...

    I came here with a group of friends, and for a night we owned it. It has a neighborhood feel on a…read moreslow night, laid back, kinda like everyone knows you and you're the cool kid on the block rather than the drama queen. That's how I like it. We just bought round after round after round. They made our car bombs out of Bushmill's whiskey which was a huge plus! I love dive bars and I wouldn't call this one a dive exactly, but the atmosphere is definitely NOT one where you want to drink expensive specialty martinis and eat tapas while toting your designer bag around. It's more like the place that gets really cozy when you go there regularly. Torn jeans, comfy white T-shirt, your busted Cons. I definitely would go do some major chugging with my Flint town crew if I was back around there.

Excellent customer service and attention to detail, very nice array of wines, craft beer, seltzer waters, sake etc.. the wine selection is really something.. we've stopped in several times since they opened last year and it's a pleasure to patronize such a great local independent business. Apparently, the shop's theme was modeled after the "The Queen's Gambit," hence the name and the large display of chess boards in the lounge. They have a nice seating/dine in area for eating, drinking, relaxing and even playing chess on one of the many boards they keep around for guests. They have free wifi as well. The atmosphere is great for relaxing with friends over a glass of Merlot and cheese board and maybe even a rousing game of chess. I love the decor and eclectic, bohemian touches. They have 'build your own' or already customized charcuterie boards- and the cheeses apparently come from Hills Cheese shop in the Flint Farmers Market downtown. Prices are not the cheapest yet completely in alignment with the quality. The owner is super nice and very helpful in terms of helping select wine pairings and checking out hidden gems in the wine/beer display. If you're having a quick last minute gathering, I think this is the go to shop for all the essentials.
