We came on a mid-day Thursday, so I can't speak to the bustling hours like happy hour or weekend. The food was excellent. We got wings, chicken sandwich, chips, and fries. This place excels in Mediterranean flavors, so each item had a wonderful savory taste. They gave us a mountain of fries, so definitely plan to split them between two people If I find myself in Detroit again, I would come back for the fries alone.

Nate and I stopped by for a drink and had a nice time chatting with the bartender after a comedy show. It was pretty empty inside which was kind of surprising to me, since the drinks were reasonably priced and they serve food. We weren't hungry, but I'd come back because everything sounded really tasty. I got a hibiscus margarita and Nate got an old fashioned--both were very well done and nicely balanced, good versions of some classic cocktails. I will definitely be stopping by the next time I'm in this area!

But our server was so out of wits that he often forgot things and then overcharged me for things that took a lot of time to correct. Ultimately things were resolved, but it was a lot of effort. I'm still giving it four stars for the actual food. My frutti di mare was delicious and had a lot of seafood. Sometimes they skimp on the seafood and put a lot of pasta, but this restaurant did it right. The rest of our table seem to enjoy their food.

I laughed when upon check-in on Yelp I was made the Duke of the Anchor bar. Let me tell you this place is so good I will keep coming back here on each visit to Detroit. As the Duke of the Anchor Bar, I command (LOL, more like wish) the anchor bar to develop a dessert menu and open for breakfast at 6:30am so I can eat here more. It is that good! Keep up the great work.

New fries were soggy but hot. Would Not recommend.

Even on a Monday night at 8:00pm, they were busy, which I think says a lot. The menu is small but intentional. Their staples are staples for a reason, and the servers are so personable that talking with them almost feels like running into an old friend. We each ordered a drink, the Brussels (always, we don't care what we get for a main), and shared the burger and campanelle. You're probably never going to be blown away by a burger, but you know a good burger from a bad one. This was a GOOD burger. The campanelle though... we could not stop talking about it. Genuinely addicting and easily the standout of the night. So happy this place exists in Detroit. We'll keep coming back.

We arrived on this misty evening around 8pm, into the dim, candlelit space with upbeat music playing. We were asked promptly if we had a reservation-- did not, so we were promptly seated at the counter, across from the bar-- which was actually less crowded than the section on the floor with tables. Onto the food, I had fries that were nicely salted, and covered in a curry spice. They were decent but nothing spectacular. I would also describe my burger this way. The best part of it was the perfectly toasted and buttery bun-- but I find it overconfident to serve a burger without any toppings-- just a sauce that was apparently blended with pickles that I couldn't really taste. The burger was seasoned well enough...plenty of pepper, but it was all one texture, I didn't pick up any searing or anything to make the texture less one note. I asked my server for extra sauce, mustard, and ketchup to make it better. My friend recommended this spot specifically for the burger so I'm willing to say, I just ordered the wrong thing maybe. Onto the desert, the corn tiramisu caught my eye as something unique to try and it was truly an experience. It made me laugh out loud cause it was strange unexpected food experience in both flavor and presentation, I enjoyed it, but wouldn't order it again persay. It came out in a little whipped pile covered in cornflakes with green jalapeño jelly. I appreciated the richness and that it wasn't too sweet-- but overall I'd enjoy it more if it was presented more neatly, and there was a bit more spice on the plate to cut through said richness, although to their the deep sweet and earthy flavored of jalapeños was captured perfectly in the gel.

Their food is a little pricey and I wasn't in the mood to pay $40+ for an entree so I opted for the white pizza which was $18. To me this was a great deal, the pizza was huge and sooo good. I like that they added sausage. My drinks were very tasty, I got one off their summer menu, the sunburst l, it was sooo good. All the flavors (watermelon, mint, guava) complemented each other very well. For my second and final round I tried the Rare Situation which featured mezcal. They were out of mezcal which was disappointing so the bartender substituted it with tequila. I really would have liked to have seen how it tasted with the mezcal. Overall, I enjoyed my dine in at the bar, I def want to come back to check out their happy hour!

There is a parking structure near there, but parking was a little higher due to a game. The restaurant is smaller than I had anticipated, but they do have a covered portion that has heaters when the temperature is drop. We were set at a two top table, but it was really small. So if you're ordering multiple appetizers and drinks, I would ask to be set at a four top so that you can have space for your items. For appetizers, we ordered oysters and brussels sprouts. I did not try the oysters, but my sister liked them. I enjoyed the brussels sprouts for sure! The appetizers were decently priced. Our drinks were pretty good. We ended up ordering four drinks total which is about $80. The drinks are $18 and up. WHEW, a little steep. For our meal, we decided to share a Caesar salad and the short rib entrée. One thing I do like if they make their croutons for the salad in house, so that was a plus. To be completely honest, the short rib tasted like roast. And it came with mashed potatoes. We definitely needed to use some hot sauce as the entrée lacked seasoning and it the entree wasn't very hot. Nonetheless, our waitress was extremely nice and very attentive. I would go back for a happy hour, and I will probably try more appetizers, but the menu is a little basic. I prefer to be able to order things that I don't traditionally make it home.

I was very pleasantly surprised! The space is beautiful, classy, and airy. We sat at the bar and had a nice chat -- the music was at a good volume. I only ordered wine -- their wine list is alright. Not bad for a bar that's clearly not wine-focused. My wife and a friend had cocktails and they both were good, particularly their espresso martini. For food, we shared patatas bravas, tortilla española, and croquetas de jamon, and they were all delicious. I'd legit come back for a full dinner. My only reason to not give this 5 stars is the drink service was very slow, even though the place wasn't busy. The two bartenders seemed friendly enough but weren't communicating very well, and kept forgetting to take and/or bring our orders. We also asked for the check and they kept forgetting to bring it until we asked again. Overall, it was a positive experience and a nice surprise, but I hope the odd bar service was just a one-off blip.
