Prologue - Before we had demigods, holidays, causes and religions, we had observable nature. Our…read morestories explored who we are through the animal kingdom we observed around us. Villains were snakes, aggressively territorial and quick to spread venom. Heroes were underdogs, and sometimes are today. In this early literary space, a bird represented a creature gifted with the ability to live between two worlds. They could walk on the movement of earth, and fly on the breath of the wind. They often held spiritual qualities. In the case of a Robin, the early bird catches the worm. This spiritual place is not your typical cocktail bar, which is limited to movements on earth. The fearlessness of the Robin is stamped into every corner, spun in every drink, and found in the heart of those who love this place. What is this place? It's an adventure that's waiting in a glass, served with class. It's witty banter of quick witted birds. It's the boldness to standout, be clever, and be inclusive in the journey. It's a safe space to stay awhile and listen to the songs of a Stamped Robin, whose tales equal enlightenment and drinks equal spiritual refreshment. Thank you for your craft.

The patio is nice but the crushed rock made it hard to sit in the chair without wobbling and scooting the chair closer to the table is a big nope. We had their version of a French dip.

We went here during Burr Oak Days and thought it might packed. It was busy, but not too bad. As…read moremore folks joined our party, an impromptu class reunion for my wife and her friends, our server Jayden was amazing. He kept the food and drinks coming and was friendly. He put up with a bunch of almost-50 year olds having a good time in their home town. And the food was great. I had The Rachael, basically a Reuben but with turkey, and my partner had the Margherita flatbread. The only downside is the acoustics - made for a very loud night and hard to hear others at times. But that could also just be us getting loud.

I cannot say enough good things about Principle. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and the indoor space was perfectly lit, warm, and cozy. My only regret is that this place isn't closer to home, because we would absolutely be regulars! If my son ends up going to Western Michigan, we will surely be making an appearance every time we're in town. Such a wonderful find in Kalamazoo!

I went for a friend's birthday and we had a large group that they were able to accommodate. The grilled zucchini was phenomenal and I had the swordfish for dinner was loved it. Peanut butter banana split was a great way to end the night. Some people had wine, mocktails, and cocktails and everyone enjoyed their drink. Overall great experience and would go here again for a meal! This spot is right downtown so parking wasn't ideal, but downtown Kalamazoo parking isn't bad, so we only had about a 5 minute walk to dinner.

I'm a sucker for a French 75 - their version was light, crisp, and perfect for a summer day. We had the pot of gold (lump crab) and whipped goat cheese spread for appetizers, the latter of which was my favorite. I loved the fresh flavors & sprinkle of pistachios. For dinner, I ordered the Carbonara Bucatini and it was so delicious. My brother and sister in law both ordered the filet and finished every bite. I'm an out of towner, but I'd definitely visit again!

Never thought of Brussels sprouts on a pizza, but they got it to work! Loved it! The only thing - grab a wooden chair if you're a size 14 or over - those metal ones just do not fit our behinds.
