    Salmon dinner with a creamy dill sauce, wild rice and green beans.
    Dorothy S.

    I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food tasted. I ordered the salmon dinner and then left room so I could order dessert. I had the New York Cheesecake with caramel sauce, and my waitress said she gave me extra whipped cream. The waitress was attentive and checked on me throughout and made sure to refill my drink before it got too low. The restaurant was a little loud but since I was by myself it was entertaining to listen to the various conversations. I want to try other local restaurants during my stay so I am not sure if I will return again before I go home, but I definitely recommend this restaurant. Edited to include a pet peeve - the restaurant charges 3.5% if you pay by credit card. Thankfully I had cash.

    Parkshore Resort Lounge is a best kept secret to most, but not to the locals who frequent that hidden gem. The lounge has all that you could ask for. We went there twice on the weekend Fri.& Sat. nights because of their DJ Mike and discovered a cornucopia of food. Over our 2 day adventure there In between dances, we dined on Escargot, Raw Oysters, Oysters Rockefeller, Salsa & Chips, Crab Cakes, Quesadillas, White Fish, Lobster Bisque, Texas Burgers, and Chicken Wings. We also drank plenty, Lemon Drop, Pina Colada, Hennessey, and draft beers, Winter Lager, Bells, & Labatt. All the food and drinks were awesome!!!!!!!!!!! The service there was exceptional!, our waitress Rachel was phenomenal, very knowledgeable and charming. The bartender was incredible but didn't get her name. Can't wait to go back for Steak, Lobster and some mo dancing!!! It's easiest to park in the back, the lounge is right there.

    Okay loving the coasters!!!!

    Modern Bird is a very difficult restaurant to review due to a very inconsistent experience. There…read morewas one aspect that entire group felt clear on: the high noise level made the experience uncomfortable. There were six of us in our group at a table, and you could only hear the person directly next to you. Our group had a reservation and were seated immediately. The restaurant is small, and the tables are very close together and felt packed in. They do have a small roped off 'patio' area on the side walk with a couple of tables. I thought the service was fine, others in the group felt it was poor (probably because no one could hear her and we had to repeat ourselves). The server did recommend that we share several dishes as a table as they are small plates. We ordered the bread and the three vegetable appetizers to start. Here is where it is hard to review: all of the appetizers were fantastic, interesting and fresh preparations. From the light courses section, we had the bougie corn dog and the duck pasta. I'm not a fan of corn dogs, I thought it was fine, but pretentious and not worth ordering, others liked it. I did like the duck pasta. The mushroom tart was boring, dry, and forgettable (side note that if you are in Detroit, Le Supreme's is absolutely fantastic, so this can be memorable). The other stand out was the walleye main, their use of curry made it an interesting, as well as delicious, dish. We all thought the halibut was awful, it arrived with a fishy smell, but was then somehow flavorless. If we were not all splitting it, it would be a send back dish. Overall, the dishes ranged from flavorful and interesting, to terrible. No member of our group felt they would return, and I would recommend against it due to the noise level, it really was that bad. Every sound echoed off of every hard surface. As a result, it just was not an enjoyable experience.

We bellied up to the bar and the tender was full of fresh energy. Very personable and made us feel excited to be there. We started with bloody Mary's and they were great!

Would highly recommend this spot as it seems they have really set it up in one of the most perfect ways.

We got: -crab cake, slightly over-breaded and a little dry -mussels, pretty good! -steak frites, steak was good, fries were fine -wedge salad with steak, steak was wildly overcooked and barely edible (which is weird because the steak in the other dish was cooked perfectly), salad was fine just a normal wedge -partly cloudy NA cocktail, good! -lemonade, just okay The service was great, the restaurant was busy and the vibes were good which is why I debated giving a 4. It seems like a lot of locals like this place so it feels like it might be a popular spot and have quality food compared to other restaurants in TC.

    We have been trying to get into The Cook's House for almost a year! Reservations are very hard to…read morecome by and you can only go with reservations. We made the reservation a month in advance and still had to settle for 8:30 time slot. But it was absolutely worth it! Incredible doesn't begin to explain this restaurant! First, it's in the middle of a neighborhood. The name is perfect because it's literally a house. Very small which explains the need for reservations. The biggest stand out for me was the impeccable service! Your glass is never empty. If you get up, your napkin is promptly refolded. This was absolutely 5 star treatment. You also receive several courses with your meal. The food was OUTSTANDING. The menu changes frequently which is awesome because you'll never get bored. There is an Ala carte menu and a tasting menu. I was told to expect two hours for the 5 course tasting at 3 for the 7 course. Being that it was so late we stuck with ala carte. I honestly can't wait to plan a full tasting but it will have to be well planned out so I can get earlier reservations.

In the meantime, while watching the James Beard Awards, I noticed they were nominated within the same category as one of chef's from our hometown Cincinnati! The place is actually a house, and we were seated right next to the kitchen. Our server, Dillon, was great. We were happy that we both didn't have to order the tasting menu, so I had it, and my wife ordered a la carte (this is the first place we have been to that you can actually order whatever way you would like, nice!) The wine list isn't huge, but it is nice that the glasses are all the same price. As other reviewers said, there is a lot of staff for the 25 seats in the place. We were offered a pickled Amuse Bouche and a mushroom tea that we could have had every day. It was SO good. Here is what we ordered and what we thought; Starter - Smoke whitefish salad- very good and the fish was delicate and fresh. Loved. Gemelli pasta- they were absolutely fine substituting other cheese for the goat cheese, which we don't care for. We had one with blue cheese and one with parmesan. Both were great and the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. Whitefish with Tom Yum Vinaigrette - first time having whitefish and it was excellent. Flavors on point. Would order again and again. 5 course tasting - Cucumber Buttermilk Soup - light and earthy tasting, and very pretty! Gemelli pasta - see above New York Steak - didn't appear to be a strip. It was chewy and a little gamey. I had to pull gristle out of my mouth a lot. However, the chimichurri sauce was fantastic and the potatoes were buttery deliciousness. Grilled Turnips - unique flavors. I was getting full so I didn't eat all of it. Lemon Posset - perfect ending. Creamy and lovely. We had the pleasure to talk to chef Calvin because we were right next to the kitchen. He specifically talked to us about what cheese we would prefer on the gemelli, and then when I asked where he likes to eat in town, he suggested a few places. He checked in on us regularly throughout our meal, which really made the experience intimate and personal. He also made some browned butter for our excellent bread because we didn't care for the goat butter...nice touch. They are deserving of the kudos and award nominations they receive.
