Family celebrating Birthday dinner at Aster. Conveniently located downtown Midland, MI…read more Made reservation for four and we were seated immediately by the host upon arrival. Clean tables, cloth napkins, nice silverware, subtle lighting, intimate atmosphere. Friendly waiter service consistently checking on our table regularly filling waters and clearing plates replacing with new clean plates and silverware between courses. The staff and kitchen did a superb job of spacing out the courses so the drinks and appetizers came out with good timing. Finished appetizers, plates cleared from first course; the entrees arrived promptly. From my observation the staff works well together to provide a very nice dining experience for their customers from start to finish. Ordered starters: small portion appetizers. Asparagus. diced asparagus with diced morel mushroom morsels. Very good. Shrimp Toast. Harder to share as an appetizer, one piece of toast with shrimp pate. I did not try, group seemed to enjoy. Entrees: Burger Filling burger when you order "make it a double", the double is actually three beef patties. Comes with waffle cut fries. Yummy cheddar cheese sauce. I liked the brioche bun because it is soft enough to hold the burger and absorb the cheese sauce without being too messy. Smoked Whitefish Hushpuppies. Basically scrambled egg lighly battered and fried. No flavor or hint of smoked Whitefish fish. "Cocktail sauce" was just ketchup I suspect. Light and fluffy, not dense like traditional hushpuppies. One order comes with five hushpuppies for 10 dollars, the "Smoked Whitefish Hushpuppies" starter is not worth two dollars per piece. Pajun (Korean savory pancake). I really liked this dish last time I dined at Aster. This time the Pajun was burnt on the top and undercooked on the bottom. Love the soy dipping sauce. I will ask for more soy dipping sauce next time. The clever combinations of ingredients -considering local sourcing and seasonal items is- admirable. Plenty of variety for any taste. Drinks ordered: Birthday "Beer and shot": Bartender selected glass of beer, and bartender selected shot glass of hard liquor. Offer "Temperance Pilsner" (non-alcoholic). The unfortunate quality of the burnt Pajun, Hushpuppies with no flavor, but the service is excellent so I will give 5 star. I will be back to Aster to enjoy the next seasonal menu items they offer.

I love the intimate wine bar vibe and the patio is great for summer. I have tried almost everything on their menu and it's all so good. I also love that they switch up their menu seasonally. We just tried their new summer menu and our dishes were so light, fresh, and full of flavor. Definitely check out Prost for your next night out. Brunch is also AMAZING! We ordered the following: -Pick 3 build your own board. We come a lot like I said so we tried to switch it up tonight and try things we usually doing get. We had the summer sausage (very good but my favorites are still jamon Serrano and salami), goat cheese honey Gouda (so good), and the le roule (our favorite that we never switch up it's too good) -Mediterranean chicken salad, Omgosh this was so fresh and packed with flavor. I didn't think much when we ordered it and just wanted something light with our pasta but my husband and I loved this dish. We will definitely be getting it again. - Garlic lemon pasta with chicken, very solid dish with a creamy sauce but not too heavy or filling

On the bbq chicken, I noticed there were some green peppers on one slice. I think their muscle memory kicked in and forgot there was a change.
