We drove 1.5 hours to come to this restaurant. The service has been consistently mediocre, but…read moretoday was the last for us. We made reservations. Came early before the evening rush. The place was maybe 1/3 full. We were seated. The greeter looked at us, turned and walked away, and came back and handed us over to the manager. Never welcomed us. The manager seated us and was polite. He usually greets people and is warm and welcoming. He and I have spoken on numerous occasions, and he is always nice. Once seated, we had at least 3 servers pass by us repeatedly. We were never greeted, never told "be right with you", never spoken to, never received water, or met a waiter. We waited and waited while tables came in, were seated, received water, and so on. I noticed the four people next to us received water and were never helped again. I only noticed because, like us, they were looking around. The place was full of staff. Setting for future tables, chatting, but... no service. We got up and left. Sadly, we will no longer make the drive. The food prep has been declining, and the service has gone from tolerable to ridiculous. We came to have a nice meal. We get treated way better at our local coney. If this was the first or second time I would never post. We refer people here frequently, but now I feel bad for recommending it. It is a lovely place, great menu and it is just not working. Response to comment below: Please note: We love the restaurant. Note the comments from others leaving fewer stars revolve around service. When a business has a hidden issue that may not show up "on the books", often there is a slow, silent client decline of the core customer base. I know it will hop during tourist season so maybe the owners do not care. But the care that went into the menu, the quality of the food products being purchased, and bringing a Detroit quality of food to Lexington leads me to believe they do, indeed, care. We called other places and every single one was packed within a 35 mile radius. One got us in and they said hello when we walked in. And the server was slammed but said "be with you shortly" We are not snobs. The manager walked by our table at least four times and several waitresses walked past, we looked, we raised our hands. It was like an SNL skit. We did not receive even an acknowledgment for the 20 minutes we sat there with servers passing by repeatedly. It has happened at other restaurants, and we get up and let someone know. In this case, so many people were right there, literally inches from us as we turned to flag. It was bizarre. So, thought I would try to get the attention of the owners. Keep in mind my post also said we had medicocre service several times prior. So I was raising a flag. I also mentioned there was a surplus of staff across the room chatting. No one was helping the servers, getting water, making sure the room was flowing. This will cause a bottleneck in the kitchen as well and delay table turnover on what should be a very busy night. So I am not just being a person who thinks I am too good. We could have flagged, eaten, and had the poor service continued as it had on at least 3 prior occasions, we would have just quietly chosen to head to the Detroit area in the future. Because if we plan a nice evening out, the overall experience is also taken into consideration. Look at my Yelps. I rarely comment and its always positive. If it were my restaurant, I would want to know. And when we called all the fine dining within an hour drive and you could hear how busy they were, I realized we may not be the only ones walking away. Because this restaurant was more than half empty. It is a great place. Blessings.

The food choices weren't great but we sat outside on the patio and you could smell fish so I'm guessing that fish and chips is very popular there. My friend got a burger and it came with nothing for $21 and he had to pay $3 extra for fries. He said the burger was just okay. We also got the cheesy spinach artichoke dip and it actually was like cheese dip. I was so disappointed because I love spinach artichoke dip and there was about 2 pieces of artichoke in it and maybe 4 pieces of spinach. I'm serious! It was not good. Unless you want cheese dip - stay away from the spinach artichoke dip!! P.S. the owners' response to my review was "stay home"!!!

I appreciated the picture book menu that spelled things out. Given I'm a Taurus I had to get the Taurus roll. (They have a roll for every star sign). The Taurus was a tempura roll with all the trimmings. And a Shrimp California roll to balance things out. Had some tea - it was regular as opposed to green. And then the miso soup. The soup was standard fare. The rolls came quickly; by then I was the only guest. Both were quite good but the Shrimp California was a real surprise. You can tell when you get quality ingredients served closed to room temp and the rice itself was really great. Service throughout was quick, quiet and kind. 4.5. This maybe my new go to. It seems less expensive than our other favorite and given it's also less busy it might be the better overall choice. I just hope they get more patrons than the night I was there.

My first time ever to Grand Bend and they have a Sushi bar! Woo-hoo! Be mindful that it's not AYCE,…read moreand the prices are on the higher side, but the entire experience and meal was wonderful nonetheless. Today, we were over at my boyfriend's sister's trailer in Pinehurst and decided we wanted to do a day trip to Grand Bend, since I have never been (shocking, I know!) and she had recommended this sushi bar, because it's the only one in Grand Bend and the menu looked good. It sits along the strip in a beautiful sized restaurant with indoor, outdoor and patio seating. We opted to go inside because we needed to get the sun off our backs for a bit as it had been a super hot and sunny day. It was around lunchtime, so we seated ourselves and right away was greeted by our waiter who handed us menus and got us some cold water. As previously mentioned, this isn't an All You Can Eat Sushi Bar, and this is the ONLY sushi bar in Grand Bend, so the prices for the rolls, appetizers, salads, etc, are a bit on the expensive side. I had my heart set on anything salmon, it's my favourite, so I ordered the salmon sashimi, philly roll, salmon roll and a seaweed salad. All our meals had promptly came out very quickly and the presentation was beautiful. The philly roll was smoked salmon and the actual salmon roll and salmon sashimi was fresh salmon. It tasted fresh, not fishy at all, and delicious. My boyfriend ordered the jalapeno popper wontons, seaweed salad, and an avocado roll, all of which were delicious. All in all, the food was delicious, the service was fast and friendly, the prices were more on the expensive side, being that Grand Bend is more of a touristy kind of beach town that attracts a lot of people. I would recommend this restaurant and I would come back here myself if I ever venture back to Grand Bend.

Two stars removed for the surprisingly bad live entertainment.

Really an off-putting experience that will have us calling ahead to confirm if there is live music happening next time we hope to visit!

They have preserved the heritage and architecture so beautifully it gives the entire venue such a sophisticated, storied allure. The layout is simply divine. They offer a chic bar area, elegant indoor seating, and a breathtaking balcony that is absolutely the premier spot to watch the sunset over the water. It is a perfect 10/10 for ambiance alone! The hospitality was equally impressive. My waiter was remarkably gracious, walking me through a menu that surprisingly featured quite a few complimentary touches and wonderful selections. On his recommendation, I opted for the Lobster Corn Dog a delightfully whimsical, high-low culinary twist that was executed to perfection. During our lovely chat, the waiter mentioned they are under fabulous new ownership, and the passion truly shows.

A must-visit if you appreciate history, views, and impeccable charm!

My partner and I decided to celebrate the end of our quarantine period by ordering some take-out from Roll Roll. The call was quick and easy and pick up was extremely sanitary.

I didn't need to touch anything besides the platter, and the sanitized debit machine. Now...the sushi...my goodness!! We ordered the small combo platter. While a bit more expensive than other places, I absolutely LOVE their spin on sushi. I believe they included: -The Bruce Roll which was crab meat,cucumber inside torched salmon & jalapeno on top (Super tasty!) -Roll Roll Roll - Shrimp Tempura, cucumber, avocado inside, spicy crabmeat on top (This was my favourite!) -California roll and some salmon sushi and a few bites of sashimi Overall, the platter was presented beautifully with some cute accents of dried fruit and greens and it was filling for the 2 of us. If you are looking for a great local spot for some take-out during your social isolation, roll on into ROLL ROLL!
