However, the tastings are in small groups of about 8 people at a time so you can hear the wine descriptions and interact with the group easily. I ran into a college classmate that I haven't seen in 8 years because we were both running our mouths about how we liked the wine we were tasting. I wasn't a fan of the wines we tasted but I loved the Chardonnay I purchased as we sat around and talked. Conner was a great server and gave excellent recommendations. There are plenty of seating options, including a few couches upstairs. I will be back just to enjoy the atmosphere and have a glass or 2 of the Chardonnay.

DO NOT waste your money here!!…read more Service: We waited 20 min after we sat down before the waitress (Bev) came and took our orders. She didn't bother introducing herself, I looked up her name after I got the bill. We waited for 40 min for 2 apps and 2 pizzas. She only came by to drop off the food and drop off the bill at the end. I guess good help is hard to find. Food: The beef tips did not taste fresh. The chips and the tuna were stale and slimy. The pizzas were sub par. Atmosphere: The atmosphere changed from intimate to industrial. It was too bright and too loud. The chairs are designed for you to be uncomfortable. It used to be good, but not anymore.

The bartenders do a phenomenal job with crafting the best libations. The food menu is tiny but mighty. Please check out the smoked salmon grilled cheese. So delish! The owner has a warm welcoming personality and the staff offers exemplary customer service. The decor is quaint and chic with lots of show stopping art on the wall. There are beautiful large windows which provide lots of light and also opportunities to people watch. It's located in a beautiful area of the city with apartment homes, condos, and trendy businesses surrounding. This Black woman owned business deserves all the shine!

A nice spot if you are out on the town and definitely prior to enjoying a show or other events in the area. A hidden GEM!

There's little going on in this area, with zero shops or other restaurants nearby. Park on the side street, it's fine. We went there for a special occasion. Make that reservation, you'll need it. Empty tables don't exist for more than a few minutes, and they are packed in. Servers are laid back, knowledgeable, and friendly. Not in the "corporate wants me to smile", but genuine. I think the employees like working here! The food was amazing. If you want to pair the wine, ask for a suggestion. I'm so glad we did, both the red and the white wines we had complemented the food perfectly. The menu changes regularly, so what we ordered likely won't be available next week. Except the bread - I rarely eat any bread, but I'm glad I did this evening. Tables are small, but so are the plates. Share your food, there's just too many good things to try. And yes, even dessert was amazing. Dress up or not, doesn't matter. Anything goes. A sport coat is fine, but so are sweaters and sneakers. Entrance is a really plain door on the side, not at all where we expected it to be - and with very little indication of where it was. Top twenty of meals I've ever had, and probably in the top five I've ever had in Detroit.

There was a 2 top table at the back that we were seated at - we could have sat at the bar also - and it was a great spot. We ordered the tasting menu and WOW, every course was amazing. I'll post pics because the presentation was gorgeous for each item. They have a small cocktail and wine and beer selection, but that was fine. My son got their Shrub Mocktail and I got the Shrub with Sake. Both were delicious and so interesting. I can't pick a favorite item because they were all so good, but the Torched Mackerel and Poached Bosc Pear were tied for #1, followed by the Salmon, Oysters and the crazy good Blood Orange dessert. The shrimp toast was just ok for me, not bad, just not as good as everything else. Additionally the service was outstanding. For a tiny place they did everything right. They explained each course, brought out fresh utensils for every course - YEA! - and made sure we had good pacing. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly and enhanced our meal. I really want to come back and try the oysters and some of the tinned items. I'm so excited I found Mink and will be back for sure.

Staff brought the drinks out quickly and checked in to make sure new drinks were ordered. The decor feels cozy but upscale and cool. We've been here many times and it's always good plus there's no shortage of options to pick from. They had a seasonal menu which was fun- drink was the bah humbug - Mezcal, Averna, Aperol, maraschino, lemon juice, egg white- had little candy cane shapes on top and looked so cute. Delicious with a hint of smoke. Also had a Dequindre cut - so refreshing and delicious- gin, fernet, lemon, ginger, raspberry, bitters, cucumber, mint and topo chico- HIGHLY RECOMMEND

In addition to wine, they also offer cocktails and small plates. I tried the meat charcuterie and bread boards; the smoked duck was delicious! Overall, the experience was very enjoyable.

We passed through thinking it was closed... mmm, it is a bit tricky, hidden in what looks part of the hotel, so don't miss it. This place has a good concept. Eclectic, kind of mysterious, low lighted, with creepy details as well, like the stuffed owl watching you through the window... artistic decoration and the best skilled bartender I've seen around. You should try the cocktail called Amelia; fresh, tangy, easy to drink. I tried other two creations, I guess everything started to mingle in my head cuz I don't remember the names. This place is perfect for first dates or to train your palate on fancy-contrasting flavours. I will certainly go back to try other of their inventions.
