    Crab cakes
    Janice J.

    Love this location. The food is always delicious. The service is excellent. Jennifer my server was awesome. They have the best North Carolina crab cakes in Michigan. Today the restaurant was bit noisy with all children with parents after their baseball and t-ball games. But overall I enjoyed my meal.The best crab cakes ever.

    Not big on huge chain restaurants, but J. Alexander's has always been a safe bet for me. The staff is always nice and even though it always seems to be crowded, most often you can get a table. I normally stick with the Grilled Salmon With Mashed Potatoes. They are also always heavy with the pours, so that might be a benefit for some.

    I placed a carry out for a chicken Cesar salad. Almost $25 for some lettuce & MAYBE a quarter of a breast. Insane.

    Dimly lit restaurant with a pretty straight forward menu. I can't believe I've never eaten here before. The service was good. We didn't wait long to be seated. Food served in a timely manor. I didn't order much, just a salad with shrimp & a loaded baked potato. I would go back and try something else. I noticed they serve shoestring fries (yum) and they don't have lemonade.

    When I first walked in, I was nicely greeted by the host and we didn't have a reservation, but the wait time didn't exceed 30 minutes. The lighting was low and the set up was elegant. I will say I would've appreciated some bread or something for the table while we were waiting for our food/waitress. The food was excellent! When I first got it, it was cold, but they took it back and gave me a whole new steak with a whole new side free of charge which I really appreciated. Our waiter was very attentive and made sure our needs were met. I don't give it five stars because though it was 30 minutes before closing, I still think it was rude to use a vacuum right next to where we were eating, it was loud and ruined the vibe. But other than that would definitely recommend this spot!

    Do you have a kids menu?

    No they do not but they will let you know what they can make for children

    Is there a sort of separate area for a group of 6 to 12 people?

    I have only seen the main restaurant and a bar area which only has limited seating.

    I have been wanting to try this place for a while and scheduled one of Meetup group dinners. Others…read morein the group also wanted to come that we asked to fit 1 more in on our table of 8 and easily could. Our group is use to good food service, food, and conversation when we meet. We only got 1 out of 3 and that was the conversation since we could hear from each end of the table. Service was slow and didn't inform us what the hold up might be. Was too many tables, slow kitchen, or what? It took a long time for rolls, drinks, food, refills, and bills. Floor manager didn't even check on us or any other server. Besides the scallops and salad, the rest of the food that was ordered was a little salty. The burgers were also dry with a hard bun. Even the calamari appetizer wasn't finished or fought over to take home which our group is famous for. I have always said in my reviews that when the adult drinks menu is longer than the food menu that isn't good. They had plenty of parking and a classy dinning room. I don't think I will be back or many of the group.

The setting is wonderful and the decor is very clean and chic. The table bread is nice especially when it's fresh. I love bread and loved their bread. The main dishes were excellent! I really enjoyed every single dish. I think the ravioli might have been my favorite. It was very fresh tasting. The salmon was also very good. The perch was amazing too. The dessert selection was nice too. They bring you them all on a tray to get a visual of what they look like which is very helpful. The prices were very reasonable. For 3 main dishes, a dessert and one adult beverage our bill was under 120$ which I feel is very acceptable. I will definitely be back for their delicious food.

    A huge thank you to Laura at LongHorn Steakhouse!…read more Yesterday, I took my husband out for Father's Day. The restaurant was extremely busy, and we were given an estimated one-hour wait. To their credit, we were seated almost exactly one hour later. We were lucky enough to be seated in Laura's section, and she was absolutely amazing. Her customer service was on point from the moment we sat down. She went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, despite how busy the restaurant was. She was friendly, attentive, and truly made our dining experience special. Laura, thank you again for providing such a wonderful experience. Your hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed. Kudos to you, young lady! I hope you were able to do something nice for your dad on Father's Day too--you certainly helped make ours memorable. Thank you for making our Father's Day celebration so enjoyable

We were told it…read morewould be a wait do to the fact that they have to combine tables and wait for tables to be cleared out.After patiently waiting ( around 3:40pm) we had members of our party checking in on the updated status of our table. No updated time was given and half of the table reserved for us which we could see was empty and cleaned was given away which made our wait time even longer. We addressed the situation with host and she responded with "oh they will be quick i promise". As you can imagine that did not sit well with my party.After 4:30pm came around I asked to speak with a manager (Bill). I made him aware of the situation and he directed the host to seat us immediately.Upon being seated we received awesome service from both servicers right away. They told us that the manager would be out to speak with us shortly. When he did arrive I explained that we love Long Horn and we were expecting to be accommodated accordingly ( not for free but atleast accomadated) and assured me that we would be. Orders for all drinks,apps, and entrees were put in by 5:30pm and although the appetizers and drinks came out quickly we did not receive our dinner until around 8pm. We asked for updates and we're told the kitchen was backed up. When everyone finally started eating we noticed the food was cold, undercooked, over cooked. People were missing items etc it was just a big mess. So we asked for the manager again and made him aware of the cold food and he explained to me that it's too hard to assure hot food with a party size(15) this large. By this time we were very restless and just ready to go.Many people in our party sent their food back others just wanted a discount because they were still hungry. The servicers came over with all the bills and nothing was accomadated. We told her that this is unacceptable and that we are highly disappointed in our experience. We requested the manager again, but when she came back she told us that he was tied up with something else and could not come to us at that time. We were prepared to just pay the bill because we wanted to leave but then was told have a good night and the bill was taken care of. Shortly after half our party was gone the manager comes to the table and asked were did everyone go. We explained we waited and were told to have a good night. He then turns and yells/blames the servers for what happened. We all ended up leaving after that because we were so upset with our experience.

The cocktails are stunning, the food (whether brunch or dinner) is consistently memorable, and apparently every plate is so beautiful that I feel compelled to photograph it. Beyond the food, the service is always exceptional. The staff strikes that perfect balance of polished and warm, making every visit feel like a special occasion. And then there's the atmosphere. The abundant natural light, thoughtful seasonal décor, and the undeniable gravitas of a beautifully restored former bank create an experience that feels both elegant and welcoming. The Ledger is absolutely worthy of being a destination restaurant for celebrations and milestones. But the biggest compliment I can give it is this: we don't save it only for special occasions. Whenever we're nearby, we make a point to stop because the food, drinks, and experience are just that good and the seasonal specials never stay as long as you'd hope. And of course, the speakeasy downstairs is always the perfect end to the night.
