We were a group of 3 who wanted to be seated outside on a hot and sticky Michigan day. Luckily…read morethere was a nice breeze. Ok make that 2 of 3 that wanted to be outside. As we followed our greeter to our table I kept screaming in my mind "no no no no no not that table no!" and she sat us at a table in full blasting sun. Nevermind the fact that there was a whole shaded section in the back part of the patio area. The rest of my group said it was fine and a beam of sun slowly bore a hole through my chest. Drink orders were up. I ordered a fabulous cross between a Moscow Mule and a Mojito. A+++ for the drinks. Mine was loaded with fresh mint from their garden. Same grade for our waitress who explained the drinks in detail and ended with "ugh- are you sure you want to sit at this table straight in the sun?" The other two said it was fine. I was ready to move, but was out voted. She continued to check in regularly and brought extra water. Most items on the menu were hot. I considered the fish, but we all landed on appetizers and we would just bounce from place to place for bites and drinks. We ordered the charcuterie board and the lavender lemon whip with bread and cucumbers for the 3 of us. The charcuterie board was the large version and had minimal offerings. It wasn't full and pretty. It was little piles of each thing on a board. This one definitely wasn't making it into Better Homes and Gardens magazine. There was a little pile of mixed nuts, a little pile of lose green grapes, a little pile of lose red grapes - not all grapes pristine or large and none were on the vine. There were 3 little piles of cubed cheese and 2 types of sliced sausage and sliced pepperoni. There were 8 crackers that were wheat thin size. This matters because we had some onion jam on the board and a nice serving of mustard. There really wasn't anything to put them on except for the 8 little crackers. That part was weird. These weren't elevated offerings. I could have picked up any of these at Walmart. They were not elevated quality either. We also got a lavender lemon infused whip which was their answer to tzatziki sauce. It was excellent but again, we were given so much of the sauce without a bunch to put it on. The cucumbers were sliced lengthways and there was a lovely bread that tasted like sourdough. There was 6 pieces of bread, and these were not particularly large pieces. A lot more would have been needed to use all of the sauce they gave. The proportions were off. All together the bill was over $100 for the 3 drinks and appetizers. If I ever did go back I won't order food based on what I experienced. There are too many other great options within walking distance.

Fun spot attached to Tigerlilly in Ferndale. I think it's meant as a speakeasy, but the "secret"…read moredoor is always open and you can just sort of walk in ask to be seated there. And just like the name suggests, it's a tiki themed joint with rum forward drinks in fun cups. They have a nice cocktail menu with some variety so you're not stuck with tiki drinks if that's not your thing. The menu is the same as Tigerlilly, so you're getting great food and good drinks.

Every recommendation they gave us was excellent, but honestly everything we saw on the menu or walk by looked incredible. I had the sticky shrimp bao buns, edamame, pork belly ramen, the dragon roll, and the spicy tuna roll (shared b/c it's a lot of food. lol). Every dish was packed with flavor. The bao buns were amazing, the pork belly ramen was rich and comforting and such a large portion, and both sushi rolls were super fresh and really well done. One of the coolest parts is that it's a hidden speakeasy space connected to Tiger Lilly. You get the same incredible food menu but with even more drink options, which makes the experience even better. If you're going with friends and want to share a bunch of different things, this is the perfect place to do it. Everything we ordered was fantastic and it made for such a fun dinner.

They rode our bikes up with our kids and they had a great outside area to sit and enjoy the day, which was nice. Just wish the weight staff didn't feel inconvenienced by all my beer questions as you are literally a brewery but the food from the food truck outside was absolutely amazing and have gone back several times strictly for the food. You should check those play out, but you should make a note to be a beer snob and pre-look at their menu before asking questions apparently

It was a great time. I ordered an Old Fashioned and was spot on classic. Everyone else ordered an orange creamsicle drink that was for a special event going on that might be one of the top five drinks I've tasted in my life! It's shame it's not on the regular menu. Anyway I'm hoping to get a chance to drop by for another drink soon.

Feel like the drinks could be a dollar or two cheaper, but not a deal breaker. Only thing I've been bummed about - I messaged asking if they had changing tables as I read reviews that they're kid friendly. I didn't get a reply and just rolled the dice. We went the other day an no changing tables in any of the 3 bathrooms. Was super bummed by this. Am okay with if it they're not trying to cater to kids, but would've appreciated a reply since their social media is pretty active. Wish they'd consider adding one as it definitely restricts my availability and interest in returning!
