    Egg White Hercules Omelette
    Lynette R.

    This is one of my favorite breakfast dishes here. So yummy! The food is consistent except for sometimes the pancakes. They can be dry sometimes. But otherwise the service is good. Never have an empty coffee cup for too long. You are always able to have a quiet conversation or meet someone for a quiet first date.

    Good morning! Sunday breakfast. Salmon fruit salad.
    Beth H.

    An icy bottle of Blue Moon with a broil salmon and fruit salad for breakfast on a Sunday. Salmon was cooked perfectly. I do wish the fruit was a bit fresher and not macerated strawberries, but it was exactly what I needed. Waitress was very attentive and friendly, though she was busy with the usual church crowd. Our salmon cook time held back our plates from everyone's quick breakfasts but it was fine once we had those beautiful plates in front of us. Only bummer was they forgot to add the fresh avocado I asked for but oh well. I wish there was a Red Olive around Ann Arbor/Dexter/Chelsea.

    A good angle of the hotdog, before it disintegrated. Come to think of it. That's not mustard. It's cheese. Still disgusting.

    The order: 2 breakfast, 1 spaghetti dinner, a bowl of chilli with no onions, 1 hotdog. Received: 2 breakfasts, I chilli dog. This chili dog was SMOTHERED in mustard, laying almost upside down in the box with mustard everywhere. and guess what happened when I tried to pick it up to eat. The bun was so soggy from the mustard, that it DISINTEGRATED as soon as I attempted to pick it up. So Nevermind the fact that I paid to receive only 25% of my order. Who thought that putting that pole of diarhea on a bun in a box to serve to customers was acceptable. Went in to get a remake (the spaghetti and chili bowl were a lost case now) and low and behold NOBODY is at the counter. Left that box open, on the counter, for all to see the type of shenanigans these low budget diners try to pass off as food.

    Red Olive Livonia - Greek Salad with Gyro meat. This is one of my favorite meals at Red Olive. It's huge!

Server number 200 did not do that for me this evening. I went to Archie's on a recommendation from my local host. My Cajun chicken salad was decent, nothing to brag about, nothing to complain about. The bartender took my drink and food order, but someone else delivered my food, and kindly asked if I needed anything else. I said no. The bartender passed by me no less than a dozen times, never stopping once to check in. She busied herself with socializing with the locals at the tables, but couldn't offer a simple check in to see if I liked my food or needed anything else. Before that, my tip was going to be 30%, which is standard. By the time I left, it dropped down to just under 20%. She was not even deserving of that, but I am a decent guy. As I walked out, I expected a parting greeting from the bartender who was at another table. Nothing. As I passed by the host, I expected another greeting. Nothing. There is absolutely nothing about this restaurant, the food, or the staff that would encourage me to return or recommend it to anyone else. Nothing.

Nobody was rushing the tables to leave which is a testament to how they booked their reservations. Our meals and adult beverages were all two thumbs up! My dad took a sip of his raspberry twist and said, "wow, that is strong. I'm glad I'm not driving." My mom took a sip of his drink and said, "oooh that's good! If you think that's strong you should try my drink!" Her drink was the Black Forest and it was definitely the kind of drink one sips! My Christmas cookie martini went down real easy! The food was great -mushroom soup, Caesar salad, two turkey dinners (one with some modifications), buffalo balls and a side of mashed potatoes. And of course, we had to get a plate of warm chocolate chip cookies! The place was lightly decorated for the holiday - tastefully done! Today, they nailed everything!

It provides a great atmosphere for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience! The service is consistently friendly and efficient, they have a lot of nice people here. Even though the menu is a bit meat-centric, there is always plenty that I enjoy. For the meat lovers, you cannot go wrong with the filet and the ribeye! I have enjoyed the appetizers, the salads including their rendition of the famous Maurice! It's very good and plentiful! I often come for the Wednesday and Friday fish and chips specials! The turkey Reuben is always enjoyable. On this visit, they have changed the menu. For the turkey Reuben, they are now using a homemade onion bun. Very nice bun, but not quite right for a true Reuben that calls for a crispy rye bread. It might help if they buttered and toasted the onion bun. But, still not a complete hit. They have also removed some well-loved chicken dishes and moved them to the specials. Another item they have taken off the menu is their hearty club sandwich, that one will be missed as well. I always have hoped they bring back the pulled chicken BBQ sandwich, one of the best! No shade of course, there is still lots to choose from. Great drinks, upbeat atmosphere and always a favorite!

My biggest issue, though, was I ordered a mocktail (I forget the name, but it was an espresso martini made with non-alcoholic spirits) directly from the menu, exactly how it's listed in there, and was brought a regular espresso martini. I took one sip and could tell the difference. When I asked my server if it was in fact the one I ordered, she told me she rung in a regular one. I was 8 months pregnant at the time, so this was not great. While she was very apologetic and corrected the error, this was a big mishap.

There was no question, I would see my friend. We had selected Chicane earlier, eager to try the new restaurant in a familiar setting, by the train tracks on Starkweather. This location was formerly Station 885, a restaurant my friend and I visited years earlier, when a toy train ran along tracks around the perimeter, delighting her young daughter. We arrived early, scoring a great table with a view of the large bar, lounge, and stage. The restaurant is glamorous, with gorgeous lighting and attractive furnishings. Musicians entertained the eager and appreciative audience. There are so few places that provide this level of entertainment and hospitality. I had already previewed the menu and was anticipating the meal ahead. The duck sounded amazing and is almost always my first choice. However, the short ribs were tempting, as were the scallops in a coconut curry broth. I went with my first instinct, the duck, paired with a French Onion soup. The medium-rare duck breast was perfectly prepared; I liked the sweet potato puree and slaw accompaniments. Incidentally, the portion was huge. My friend enjoyed her braised short rib, which was on the 2-course supper menu, available before 6pm. For dessert, I went with the chocolate cube. Unfortunately, I didn't even see the banana parfait, which was mentioned in several of the reviews here. Oh, well, I was content. The dessert had a bold, intense chocolate flavor, which paired well with the ice cream's more subtle flavors. I also appreciated the different textures on the plate. Service was fantastic: professional and helpful. Unfortunately, my car died during the cold, and TripleA was unable to help, given the number of people/vehicles in a similar situation. The restaurant staff went above and beyond to find someone (the Executive Chef, who was in the middle of service) to provide a jump; I am so grateful for the gracious hospitality.
