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 looked, and according to it's website, it just opened up here not long ago. The place isn't huge, but has plenty of two top tables and I think a few four tops as well. There's bar seating as well, and the place is sparsely decorated but in a good way. It can get noisy in here since there isn't a lot of stuff to absorb the sound, FYI. The menu covers most gammets of food, from burgers, to salads and some sandwiches as well. They even have a peanut butter burger? I don't know about that, but it did sound interesting. Anyway, our server was good and our food came out wonderful. The fries here are great, and we both commented on how good they were. My burger was excellent and my coworker loved her sandwich. There's also TV's over the bar that they had different shows on. One had sports, the other had news. I did notice a nice alcohol list, but we didn't order anything to drink. Overall a great experience. Wonderfully priced, good food nice hang out spot.

Well, first of all let me tell you about my very pleasant, unexpected lunch I had on Tuesday @ this…read morefabulous, quaint, very clean, very unique little restaurant in Flushing, MI. called Tita's Grill on Pierson Rd. across from the bowling alley. Be prepared for Sam. He's quite the salesman & very proud of his work & obviously takes pride in it all & for good reason. He did tell me his food was the best & that I would have the best lunch I've ever had. It was my first time there, so I was a little leary because I sometimes have a gallbladder attack if I eat at some restaurants. We baught Swarma sandwiches, Shish tawook sandwiches , home made chips, home made garlic sauce, & home made hummus with home made peta bread. Absolutely the best! There were generous proportions of everything & worth going way out of your way for, even if you're from out of town. It won't be your last time there I promise you. The next morning we had our leftovers for breakfast & the best part was that the food still tasted deliscious & very flavorful even cold, so nice refrigerator raiding food. I would highly recommend this food for any special occasion or just because. Stop by. You won't regret it I promise. Sam & his crew do have bragging rights I must say. I was super impressed & so were my friends & family who ate lunch with me that day. I rarely write a review, but I really like this business.

With only one other person in the restaurant and ordering only one entrees I expected faster service and hot food. The plate was the warmest part of the meal.

She ran and got someone to translate. So I actually didn't order what I wanted because I knew she wouldn't be able to understand what I was saying. That's my fault ! My friend got the super large burrito and it was the size of a Taco Bell bean burrito and had no side dishes with it so I thought that was kind of expensive and he didn't like the food anyways. I got one of the vegetarian options and the bean burrito was like a small burrito I'd make at home with a can of refried beans. It also had a cheese enchilada that was like something I would make at home too. When we sat down and got the chips and salsa, I asked if they had a hot salsa also. The waitress went and got someone to translate who then ran and brought me a saucer full of hotter salsa that was good, but I wasn't told that it would be an extra $5 and didn't realize it until the bill came. Like I said, I won't be going back here again!!
