Great little winery/brewery…read more Very friendly staff and reasonable flight prices. Tasted six different wines and went home with some bottles.

So I've been here a few times for a couple of different events, like euchre night, and it has…read morealways been a great experience. Now, even better for me is that it's also a brewery known as Belching Monk. Being my first time here, I did a flight of all their beers, which gave me a nice sampling of all their choices. While the selection was very standard for most breweries, you have you amber, your stout, your IPA etc., one thing that stood out to me was how perfect each beer was. There wasn't a lot of nonsense, and these were all just good, easy drinking beers for the most part in the 5-6% ABV range. I noticed that they are now doing some game watches along with trivia, euchre etc and I am actually looking forward to making this a regular spot. Great job to the team!

This is a perfect place to have a wine tasting with friends, family, coworkers, etc. The place is…read morecozy with a bar seats, high top tables or low top tables. Beth the manager is amazing she is very knowledgeable on the wines on and off the menu and willing to answer ANY questions about wine or the company or any other partnering wineries partnered with the company. Outside food IS allowed. Some food options are available but they all mostly finger foods. Flights of 5 and 3 are served as well as bottle service inside the restaurant. There are 2 other locations Auburn Hills, and Royal Oak I used to work here and I loved it here. If you ever stop by in Shelby especially, tell Beth, JaNaè sent you 10/10

Food & Wine: I really want to love St. Julian Winery - Troy,…read moreand there are good things here. The wine itself is... fine. I'm more of a dry-wine person, and honestly I probably only enjoy about 5% of the menu, but I will say the prices are great and the menu is huge. There's truly something for everyone, just maybe not for the dry crowd. I do appreciate that they offer snacks for purchase and the wine club is actually a great deal. Service: This is where it slipped for me. I've been to other St. Julian locations and had genuinely great experiences, so I know the bar is higher. Here, the service was just ok. The staff didn't seem very engaged and gave off more "going through the motions" than "happy to have you here." It felt like regulars got the warm treatment, while everyone else was kind of an afterthought, which was a bummer. Ambiance: It's always packed, which says something, but the space itself feels cold and a little warehouse-y. I really wish this location had that cozy, homey winery vibe the others do. The energy is busy but not welcoming, and the location doesn't help much either. If I could give one suggestion to the team, it'd be to soften the space and the experience a bit, warmer lighting, more interaction, something that makes people want to linger instead of just drink and leave. I know this place can be great, it just doesn't quite get there yet.

Met a friend for lunch, neither of us had been before. Very clean fresh modern building and…read moreinterior. Large tasting room is what you walk into, and at the back of that was the hostess. Waitress asked if I had any allergies, I said no but my friend joining me soon was gluten free. My friend still had to specifically request the gluten free menu when she got there, after looking at the regular menu & not finding any markings of what food was gluten free. It would have been nice if the waitress had just brought it right away. I had the lunch size Gnocchi Carbonara, which was delicious! I did have the suggested wine pairing, which was very good with my food. And what a great idea to offer some lunch sized portions of some of the dishes (ends at 3pm). My friend had the gluten free grilled mahi mahi sandwich & side of Asian slaw, which she enjoyed. They weren't super busy & we sat quite awhile to chat. Really enjoyed it & will definitely go back. Looking forward to trying some of the other menu items!

A group of 7 of us met at Cooper's Hawk for dinner. I liked the entry way with the gift shop area,…read morealthough I didn't really stop to shop. But I found it odd that the bar didn't have any chairs. Our server (I think his name was Darren, or something like that?) was very good. He explained about the bin numbers next to the entree descriptions and was just generally kind and helpful. Several people ordered salads, and they looked very good. I had the Parmesan crusted chicken from their Life Balance section. I enjoyed it very much. I don't usually like warm tomatoes, but the ones in this dish were really good. Honestly, I'm surprised that this was a lower calorie dish, as it certainly was plentiful, filling and satisfying.

Been to this location a few times now and it's always been a good experience. The drink I ordered…read moretonight was an Old Fashioned variation that was absolutely astounding with it's chocolate additions. What I'm about to say is not a criticism of smaller distilleries but sometimes their "bourbon" is a little smooth than I like, so subtle variations like this really add something to the drink. I can only imagine that his will lead the Old Fashioned Fundamentalists to march out in the streets in protest, but I'm perfectly good with that. Chocolate Old Fashioned go grab it. The location itself is bright and lovely and the barstaff has always been very friendly and helpful their knowledge and finetuning the drinks to what I like and don't like. Sometimes when it's crowded you have to wait a little longer, but I don't think there has been anything unreasonable. Lovely spot for before or after dinner drinks.

If you live in Troy and have never been to the Troy Museum then shame on you! ;-)…read more The Troy Museum & Historic Village is a Mini-me version of Greenfield Village, but it's all about Troy. It has about ten historic structures, with plans to add two more after the purchase of the adjoining property. There isn't much of a museum in the main building, but most of the structures are from the 1800's and give you a feel for what life in rural Troy was like back then. The village consist of a log cabin (1840), a Greek Revival-style home (1865), a one room school house (Poppleton School 1877), a print shop, wagon shop, general store (1918), Old Troy Church (1837) and town hall building (1900). Information provided tells you where these structures were located in Troy. For example, the general store and the Old Troy Church were both originally located in Troy Corners (Livernois and Square Lake). Admission is free, but donation are gladly accepted. It doesn't take more than 45 minutes to view all the properties. Check out the websites for special events. You can even get married in the church and they rent out the gazebo in the center of the green for meetings, workshops and receptions. Take a step back in history and visit this quaint little museum. I knew I loved Troy for some reason!
