    Soft shell blue crab sandwich
    Eric L.

    Such an awesome place to check out for great seafood options! We went for lunch and the lobster roll and soft shell crab sandwiches were perfect for what we were craving. It was nice to know they had a brunch option available and happy hours 7days a week! It was a beautiful layout for the restaurant and the service was 5stars throughout the entire meal.

    Yum! We LOVED Hazel's. The vibe is very chill and the service was great. They have specialty hot sauce that was delicious. The lobster roll was well cooked with a good amount of lobster. We are excited to return.

    LOBSTER ROLL and GARLIC FRIES

    Dined here for dinner and I enjoyed it! Arrived 30 minutes early for my reservation and was sat immediately. For appetizer, I ordered Conch fritters. They were perfectly fried and very light density wise. The calypso ranch that came with me was yummy. I ordered a lobster roll with garlic fries and it was good! The fries were super duper garlicky, just a tad too much. Our waitress said they change their menu about every 3 months so we made it just in time. Definitely want to come back and try some other menu options!

    I don't know why it took me so long to try this place -- I've been missing out. The entrance is really cool with its ship-themed design, and we were seated right away. It was a late lunch/early dinner, so the restaurant wasn't crowded, but I was surprised by how big it is inside. Our server was great and helped us pick an appetizer, which ended up being amazing. The escargot is a must-have -- the warm, fresh bread, plus the butter and herbs, made it incredible. We started with two drinks: The B.C. (Gray Whale Gin, Lo-Fi Sweet Vermouth, Select Aperitivo) -- very cool that they carry Select, since I almost never see it anywhere. The Oregon (Ketel One Peach & Orange Blossom Vodka, blueberries, Pinot Noir, lime, simple syrup) -- also really good and a unique mix of flavors. We also tried the Lobster Bisque. It had great flavor, but I do wish they offered some crackers or even a piece of bread with it. For entrees, I had the Connecticut-style Lobster Roll served hot with butter, and it was everything I hoped for. The amount of lobster and all that buttery goodness were perfect -- I'd absolutely get it again. We also ordered the Blackened Salmon BLT, and once again they nailed it with the softest ciabatta bread. It doesn't photograph as well as it tastes, but the sandwich did not disappoint. Price-wise, it can be on the higher side, but with quality and flavors like this, it's absolutely worth it. Can't wait to come back and try more.

    We were in the Troy, MI area for a few days. Hungry for seafood we researched great seafood restaurants within about 30 min of our location. Came upon Hazel's in Birmingham MI, looked at the menu, and read the reviews. Decided to call to see if we could get in this evening. What a beautiful, interesting little town! The entry to the restaurant implied that we were in for a unique and fun treat! Casual, inviting, modern atmosphere inside! Little did we know how hard the choices would be, as every menu entry sounded amazing! We decided, for starters, on soup...hubby had tortilla soup. I had likely the best clam chowder I've ever eaten! The seasonings and the flavorful broth loaded with chopped clams were outstanding! We then shared the wedge salad, which the kitchen split and plated for us for no extra charge. You can see by pic how generous each "half" salad was! Hubby had the catch-of-the day, grouper, which he chose to have blackened on cheesy grits with green beans. I had the fish (fresh blackened cod) tacos. They were small street taco size, made and filled perfectly. I could only eat 2 (hubby was happy to oblige eating the 3rd one). The green beans (instead of fries) were seared and seasoned to perfection! The chef-owner has an expert hand at preparing and seasoning her food. I can't recommend this place, even after only one visit, enough! We definitely will go back next time we're up here near Detroit! EXCELLENT!

    We went to Hazel's for a birthday dinner. Service was amazing, and the ambiance is super fun for families. Our group had fish and chips, the fried chicken dinner and the salmon. I'm pretty sure everyone who did not order the chicken had fried chicken envy! The fish and chips is standard fare. A solid 4/5. Our waiter surprised two out of three birthday celebrants with a fun ice cream Sunday and a candle, which was a lovely gesture.

    Whitefish Pate.
    Spring N.

    TLDR: This restaurant offers an alright dining experience, with some highlights and lowlights. The service was commendable, and the atmosphere within the restaurant was lively. For appetizers, I ordered the whitefish paté and 4 oysters, two from the west coast (likely Kumamoto oysters) and 2 from the east coast. I ordered the salmon entreé as the main and a key lime pie for dessert. These dishes varied in their quality, so I will rate them individually below. Whitefish Paté (3/5): To start off, I had the whitefish pate which had come out very quickly. The pate itself paired with the provided saltine crackers were good, but the dish did not stand out in any way. As a result, it was only passable, and I am led to believe there may be other appetizers that are better. Oysters (5/5): The oysters came out afterwards, and they were extremely fresh and delectable. Personally, I am a fan of the more strongly flavored oysters, and the west coast oysters did a great job of satiating my hunger. I would recommend anyone to get the oysters here if they are interested. Salmon Entree (2/5): This was the most disappointing dish of the evening. The first thing that stood out to me was the coloring of the potatoes. One of the potatoes in particular was suspiciously dark, and after eating it, I confirmed that the restaurant had burned the potato. This was not in a charred way that added any flavor either. On top of that, the salmon portion was much smaller than the potatoes combined. I would not get this dish ever again. Key Lime Pie (4/5): The pie was delicious, but the only thing holding it back was the amount of meringue. Had the restaurant reduced the meringue slightly, the dish would have been much easier to finish. Otherwise, the pie had a perfect amount of lime flavor to it, especially with the lime zest added to top. Overall, I would like to come back, despite my ratings. There is a good chance I haven't had the starring dishes, especially since the menu is so vast.

    Oysters... delicious. Shrimp.. delicious. The lobster bisque.. amazing. The bread... just, you HAVE to order it. And pro tip... dip it in the soup. But that lobster roll..... epic! Honestly can't say enough great things about hazels. The service is great, the food is great, and so are the drinks. Can't wait to come back!

    Lobster rolls and oysters! This place was the perfect lunch while we were visiting. The service was so friendly and quick but the speed of everything didn't sacrifice any of the quality. They truly know about good food here. It's a well lit large dining space with a huge bar area. It gives seafood meets sports bar and was casual enough for lunch but a great place for a date. Happy hour starts at 3pm and they have 1/2 off oysters so I highly recommend!

    I came here an hour before closing. I sat the bar. The bartender was nice and continued to check on me. I ordered the lobster roll and a mocktail. I enjoyed my food and drink.

    Hykyra C.

    Food was excellent. The oysters are east coast, so fresh & the best toppings. We had the blackened shrimp salad. That was so refreshing & filling. I had the lavender mocktail.

    The Wrecking Ball dessert was totally yummy!
    Heather S.

    This seafood house was super cool inside and had many interesting photo ops. Our food was great and service was excellent! Our chips and dip for happy hour needed more chips so we bought extra, but the dip was great. We really enjoyed our meal!

    This place is still one of my favorites. I always get the Georgian bread. The lobster Cobb is out of this world. Spicy mussels are fabulous. You can't beat the oyster happy hour.

    I can't find their brunch menu, can someone post it please?

    Here you go! I'm a big fan of the pancakes. You can also order lunch from the regular menu. https://www.hrd.kitchen/food/#brunch

    I see it says this is kid friendly. Do they have a kids menu?

    I agree with Erin, I'm not quite sure this is a kid type of restaurant. I guess calling them ahead would be your best bet.

    Can someone post a menu which includes prices? also, i can't find their wine list..can anyone post that?

    If you look at my review, which seems like the most recent, I posted the menu with most of the pricing shown, which also shows the list of wines, beers, and cocktails. My name is Haleigh P. and we were there end of July!

I will say that it was a rather small portion of food though- maybe 6-8 bites of meat. The lamb lollipops were good with the balsamic drizzle but I preferred the filet tips since they were leaner.

But Zana is easily one of the better fine dining experiences I've had in the state of Michigan. It also helped that I had dinner with some close friends who I haven't had many opportunities to spend time with in recent memory. The restaurant is located in downtown Birmingham, so by default it has to deliver on every front. It has such a beautiful and spacious dining area that makes you feel like you're at a VIP party. The menu is not lacking in options, with pretty much all the types of items you would expect from an upscale establishment. The oysters were so fresh, the harissa shrimp was outstanding, and my lamb chops were cooked to absolute perfection. We shared a lot of items, so we got a good idea of what this place offered and I don't think anyone in our party were disappointed. We ended up splitting the bill evenly between all of us and were surprised that we didn't spend more money. Zana really left a good lasting impression on us, so I hope that we will be just as satisfied when we make a return.

I've tried this place three different times and ALL three times I had an issue. It was a waste of my gas to drive to Sidecar in Birmingham to eat and everything was a disaster from the moment I was seated. I have passed by Sidecar in Birmingham so many times, and strolled past it more occasions than I can count. I have always avoided the place because there is always someone inside of it who is racist and anything but professional. This corniest thing about management here is that it seems to train workers to only like it when whites sit at their eatery. Be sure to hold onto to a copy of your receipt if you wish to be refunded for the unpleasant blah-slop they will serve you. The food here looked like someone sat on it when I bought it, and it was flavorless from started to finish. Honestly, I was skeptical about coming here based on reviews and I wish I had listened to the complaints. One waitress was apologetic to me when I came back to complain, so sad for her because she was not the owner of this dump who has the personality of a headless turkey. The food is worth only one star, but I would give it zero if I could. I'd recommend just going to Applebee's instead of Sidecar and maybe the place that Sidecar is holding can be repurposed into some type of mixed-use community hub to breathe new life into Birmingham once it gets shut down. - Oakley
