First time here since moving back to Windsor back in October. My boyfriend's dad came down for the…read moreweekend and they wanted a place to eat out with a good beer selection and me, being from here, made the decision to come to this place, which I haven't been to since it opened back in 2015. We walked in and the server came up and let us know we could sit anywhere, we chose the patio, because it was a nice cool evening. We were immediately given menus to browse through. They're like an Irish style kind of pub with a good selection of beers on tap. My boyfriend and his dad both chose the Harp Lager, I chose a diet pepsi, I don't drink beer. We browsed the menu and we started with the Beer Battered Pickles and the Crispy Mozzarella and for our main entree's I chose the Panko Chicken Club and my boyfriend and his dad both got the fish & chips. Not long after we ordered our appetizers came out hot! The Crispy Mozzarella sticks were amazing and the beer battered pickles were crunchy with a crisp, and came with a horseradish type dipping sauce while the mozzarella sticks came with ranch and marinara. Our meals came not too long after that. I had ordered a side Caesar salad with mine instead of fries and the salad was delicious, the only thing I didn't like were the capers, and my sandwich was huge, crispy and delicious I saved half for tomorrow. I was told the fish & chips were delicious, with a house made tartar sauce, and the fries were crispy. Overall experience was great, our server was great, checked up on us asked us how our meal was, if we needed anything, and after we were done asked us if we wanted more beer or dessert, which we kindly declined; we were full. The patio was cool, and inside when we were leaving they were getting ready to play live music. I'll be coming back here as this restaurant is also close to home!

My husband, my father and I went for dinner at the Thompson House last night. We were warned that…read morethe oven was not working and the cottage pies would take some time. We were fine with that. 2 hours later we asked for our bill and went elsewhere for dinner. The really sad part was the attitude of the bartender last night. We suggested that they give us a free drink while we waited. We spent 125.51 on drinks. The waitress was very gracious but told us that the manager who never showed his face once said we could have a free dessert. We are fully capable of paying for our entire meal should it happen to be presented in a timely manner or with some amount of grace. I did not get the bartender's name but she is not a great example for your staff nor your customers. She seemed like she was doing us a favour and had an attitude all night.

It looked like they may have remodeled recently, I wish I had gotten pictures, it was a beautiful space. Dark wood walls with hidden lighting and really posh decor. I thought it was pretty amazing, and the view was straight out to the river, just lovely. Our server Kyla was so nice, and extremely helpful when we were trying to figure out what to order. This place had sort of Italian meets Mediterranean fare. Two of us ordered drinks, both an Old Fashioned. They were a little sweeter than I'm used to, but it was still good. Our appetizers were the hummus and muhammara. The hummus was amazing, but the muhammara was a little gritty and sweet. Our entrees were really good, although my fish was just a little dry. The scalloped potatoes were absolutely delicious, and normally I hate carrots, but the carrots and snap peas were very good. Overall, great experience, really nice vibe. Can't believe this was tucked away in a Best Western, so impressed. Definitely check this place out, and ask for Kyla if she's there.

An amazing place to eat in the Atheneum Hotel in Greektown!…read moreCame by last minute with a party of six on a Friday night expecting to get hit with a crazy long wait, but surprisingly, they immediately sat us down! Menu is sort Mediterranean meets high-end Steakhouse dinner restaurant. Appetizers: Grilled octopus appetizer is so good! Not rubbery at all and cooked perfectly tender. Also went with calamari that's got the mama's lil peppers from some spicy zing. Mains: Mediterranean grilled branzino was amazing. Somehow, they removed the bones and reassembled the grilled skin on portions so it looked like a whole fish. Nice charred grill taste and really nice flaky meat. Braised short rib: very tender and meaty portions of this. I am glad my friend got this so I could try The best of the sides was the creamed spinach, which sounds pretty standard, but trust me, this was one of the best versions of creamed spinach I have ever tried! They used fresh spinach leaves to make and quite cheesy and creamy! Service here was incredible and very welcoming. Maybe it was an off night, or the locals are totally sleeping on this place. I would definitely try this place if you are looking for some good eats in Greektown!

This is a stunning upscale restaurant located inside the Atheneum Hotel. The interior is gorgeously…read moredecorated. The lighting and overall ambience is perfect for date nights and anniversaries. They do offer bread service. I went with a few friends and we ordered the lobster bucatini, branzino, and petite filet. For sides we ordered bruseel sprouts, roasted carrots, and garlic mashed potatoes. The branzino and lobster bucatini that my friends ordered were good. I especially liked the salsa verde they served with the branzino, it was a perfect balance for the light fish. I ordered my steak medium, but unfortunately it arrived overcooked. They said they cooked it for me medium-rare the second time around, but sadly it was the same case. The meat was very chewy and underwhelming. I do want to point out that staff (I think it might have actually been the owner of the restaurant) went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience and even offered me something else off the menu, complimentary. They're definitely committed to providing exceptional customer service. We were short on time, and the steak did take quite a bit of time to make so I passed and skipped over to dessert. We tried three different desserts, a Gelato, almond cake, and chocolate temptation (chocolate mousse cake). The temptation was my favorite item of the night and I would definitely return for that alone! Overall, had an amazing experience and would absolutely return.

Food: 3/5 Overall, pretty decent, not sure about it being…read morequite worth the price though. Came right at prime dinner time. We got the arancini and Brussels to start. Arancini were excellent, I personally felt a little more pomodoro would be nice, but is not necessary since the arancini have good flavor and seem to be super popular by the sheer amount of them coming out of the kitchen. The pesto balanced the arancini well. The Brussels are good, a little under seasoned (I did not taste hot honey nor the yuzu aioli on any of the pieces I tried) but cooked well and the pecorino is lovely shaved. My meal, agnolotti piedmontese, was excellent. The beef inside was so tender, pasta cooked well, and the butter and cheese, finished with a potato crumb, was absolutely stunning. My husband had the pollo trevisano. The chicken was ok, was pretty bland, the only seasoning being salt, which came from the prosciutto, and the butter herb sauce, which seemed to lack any real depth. The mash was excellent. Also came with some broccolini on the side which was cooked perfectly. My grandmother got the octopus appetizer for her meal. The octopus leg was chewy/overcooked. On the flip side, the potatoes with bacon were delicious. The arugula was well flavored. Overall was the most disappointing part of the meal, barely ate the octopus that she was so excited for. My grandfather got an excellent rigatoni dish that I cannot recall the name of, and their website is currently not up to date with what their in house menu is so I do not know the name. I did not try it myself but It has veal, and either kale/cabbage leaves or some interestingly large spinach, as well as a delicious sauce. The veal was amazing, he raved about it endlessly and shared that dish with my grandmother. To end our meals, my grandparents split an Affogato, and I got a coconut and banana panna cotta. My husband was full from dinner and did not indulge on dessert. Service: 5/5 Between our server and the other staff keeping our drinks full, table bussed and reset, and the timely service, it was an excellent occasion. Our server did an awesome job checking on refills of wine. Ambiance: 5/5 Absolutely adorable corner location right on Erie and Howard. They have awesome seating, tables, and lighting. The tvs play old sitcoms. There are umbrellas hanging from the ceiling, that may seem silly at first, but seem to divert the AC/heating from blowing directly on their customers, which is a lovely touch. I've never seen any other restaurant do something like that to keep their customers comfortable, I applaud it. Overall, a great experience with decent food. If we decide to venture back, we will have to try the pizza, get some more arancini, and try some other dishes.

We had the halibut special and the zuppe de Pesci. The halibut was cooked perfectly the buerre blanc sauce and capers with potatoes and broccoli rabe.

Upon walking into the restaurant, I really liked the ambiance, and the music playing from the DJ during the brunch hours. It was a nice and laid back vibe! Service was nice, and there were a nice amount of food options to choice from the buffet, from what I remember: Grits, fresh fruit, potatoes, bacon, sausage, waffles, veggies, macaroni and cheese, pork chops, pasta salad, fried chicken wings, fried catfish, omelette station-and more food items I'm sure I missed! All of the food was good! I had no complaints, and the mimosas were good. I would definitely check this restaurant out again, next time for dinner options!

My first impression was of the fenced in, "secured" parking lot where a security guy waved us to…read morethe back. When I asked why, in the rain, I couldn't park closer to the door, he indicated that it would be safer for me to pull out, since I was driving a large vehicle. He clearly assumed I couldn't drive my SUV. It would be safer for me as a female to not have to walk from the back of a lot where, judging by the wall and fence, has security issues. What made it worse, when I left, he wasn't even in the lot to make sure my lengthy walk to my big SUV was safe. But let's get inside. Went for Sunday brunch around 2pm. We were greeted by a friendly and cool waitress and to the sounds of Teddy Pendergrass, so all was forgiven. The buffet items could have been fresher, but I did arrive the last hour of brunch. For $21.99 you get a mimosa, one made to order omelette in addition to the buffet items. Everything was fried - chicken wings, perch, pork chops. I had all 3, wings and fish were ok, pork chops were dry. Sweet, soft waffles and good grits. Mac n cheese was a little dry, but good mixed into the grits. Again, maybe better if you go at beginning of brunch. Fruit plate was a nice one, featuring wonderful honeydew. Not enough veggies on the buffet. The staff was friendly and it seems like a fun place to come for their karaoke or comedy night. Since it was a buffet, I did not get to witness the slow service others have warned about. I can see that though. We had to find the waitress to pay the bill. It was nice to not be rushed and I'd rather friendly and slow than rude and rushing me out. I would come back to try the lamb chops and comedy. Just don't expect to get in and out.
