    Gelato trio- mango, white chocolate and raspberry, vanilla
    Natasha G.

    We had the most wonderful experience at Toscana. It was our first time going to the restaurant and the service was impeccable. We started off with the calamari which was perfectly crispy white a wonderful salsa and sauce. My husband got the Tortelli which included a big slice of crispy pork belly and the mushrooms were delicious. I ordered the prawns and scallops in purgatory which had a wonderful panettone stew and polenta which juicy jumbo prawns and glistening scallops. Overall a wonderful meal. We ended the night with a trio of gelato and the peach crostada which had the right level of sweetness and amazing textures with the pistachios. Will be back again to try their brunch.

    Very very nice staff. Came here for a work lunch and they were super curtious and well organized. Food came out very fast and in batches based on the dish requested. The decor is pretty on board with what I imagined going in to eat. Per my coworker dinner is usually a lot better in terms of food and vibes. They lost 1 star for poor marking for parking, entrance, and one of my coworkers got the wrong entree. Other than that I would def come back.

    The place was very nice inside. General impression was over priced food that is meant for people that are staying at the hotel. Parking was expensive. Going there only for dinner and the only lot that has space was $10 minimum parking. Offering bubbly or still water at $6 a bottle was pretty steep. To then find out they had tap water available. Charging for a bread basket that is normally complimentary at other locations was steep. Main courses were good but not for the price charged. Midway through the appetizers they started clearing out plates to prep for the arrival of the main course. We were still working on the apps.

    My husband and I celebrated our anniversary there on the Monday after July 4th, so I imagine that's why we ended up having the whole patio to ourselves. I imagine it has a settled atmosphere even if there are more people around. It was very comfortable! The service was great - our server was very knowledgeable and had great recommendations, even after we said no seafood (which he did highly recommend), and even turned outdoor heater on for us when I got a bit chilly in the breeze. However, the most impressive part, I cannot say enough about how incredible the food was. The Asiago potato gnocchi was something my hubby and I keep coming back to when we talk about it - we knew the steak was going to be great (which it was) and the ravioli was scrumptious), but that appetizer was DELECTABLE! I only wish we were able to have eaten dessert in house. We got the tiramisu and panna cotta to go (hubby doesn't like coffee, so we got both). But it was still mouthwateringly good when we got home. We give ourselves permission to splurge for anniversaries, and we were not disappointed. Toscana was WELL WORTH it! We will definitely be returning for a celebration in the future!

    Service is great if you sit at the bar. Enjoy a beautiful wine list and a bite in a beautiful setting. The truffle risotto is hot, balanced and pairs well with medium rare waygu steak and the olive and artichoke tapenade.

    Ambience - 4/5 Food - 5/5 Value - 4/5 Service - 5/5 Beautiful restaurant, small but spacious. The food and drinks came fast and were great. The fruit salad served during brunch was fantastic, very fresh and light with a perfect honey drizzle. The caprese salad was also fresh with creamy mozzarella. The staff was friendly, as was the owner who was sitting close to us. Unfortunately I do not live in the area, but when I'm back in town to visit family I hope to return for their dinner menu!

    This was a last minute find and I am so happy that we did. Starting with the espresso martini from the brunch to the service; I can't say enough about my experience. Our server Harrison was fabulous and provided great service. The manager came by (we found out he was new) and was gracious and hospitable. The food (avocado toast, tomato and mushroom omelette) were all fantastic. I also loved the potatoes with the caramelized onions! When I'm in town; I will be back!!

    I'm not someone who gets hung up on visual aesthetics. Some restaurants would rather wow you with bold color schemes or thematic imagery than focus on quality food and dining experiences. I've got a special place in my heart for the hole-in-the-wall bar that nails a special burger, food courts and food trucks that offer an array of flavors and the occasional gas station that moonlights as a sandwich shop. These establishments (read lightly) know what they are and what they aren't but care enough about their customers to go the extra mile on taste and friendliness. That's not to say that I haven't indulged in some fine dining across the globe -- Michelin-starred and otherwise. Yet, even in those instances where the luxury has extended to décor and ambiance, food has been the focus. That's not always the case, and typically, I don't really care. But for special occasions, I want a multi-sensory experience that's as appealing to the eye as it is to the palate. My visits to Toscana were exactly this and more. Opened in late summer last year, Toscana has a sleek, contemporary interior that's softened by warm earth tones and lots of natural wood and light. The wine market inside sells everything you might need to host a dinner party or wine tasting at home. The variety of seating options offers something for every scenario, be it large groups, solo diners from the adjoining hotel, intimate spaces for date night or al fresco patio placement, and each offers ideal comfort with a refined touch. The staff was pleasant and smiling, with a subtle but steady presence, ready to attend to my every need. The bartenders were knowledgeable, accommodating and also suitably apologetic as they worked through some technology issues with their electronic ordering and payment systems. What's impressive The prima course I enjoyed for an early dinner ahead of an evening meeting was brilliant. Both the calamari ($16) and the pear and gorgonzola salad ($9/half) offered elevated taste profiles. The calamari were lightly battered and flash-fried, accompanied by cherry peppers, giardiniera and a delightfully tangy anchovy salsa verde. The lengthwise cut of the squid was a welcome departure from the typical rings, and the plating was artistic and generously sauced. Similarly, the salad was wonderfully dressed in a fig-balsamic vinaigrette. The peppery arugula paired well with the gorgonzola and maple-roasted pecans. My only complaint was the miserly portions of the prosecco-roasted pears: Two thin slices are not substantial enough for you as a reader, let alone this writer gripping his fork in anticipation. What's surprising My lovely bride joined me for a brunch date to celebrate 14 years of wedded bliss. She noshed on a Caprese salad ($18). Although a buffalo mozzarella first-timer, she's now an avid fan. The yellow heirloom tomatoes, partnered with the basil pesto and balsamic reduction, were delightful, particularly with the extra serving of balsamic goodness snuggled up on the side. The cab omelet ($18), stuffed with lump crab meat, basil and goat cheese, was outstanding. The perfectly cooked three-egg omelet was a wonderful platform for the tart and creamy seafood mixture. Thinly sliced Lyonnaise potatoes flanked the omelet and were somehow simultaneously translucent to the eye but thick to the bite. We split the Toscana Stack ($15), which was both an eyeful and a mouthful. The faintly yellow pancakes were fluffy, with a hint of sweetness from the vanilla cream and a tiny punch of citrus from the lemon zest. The generous blanket of berries was a hybrid of fresh, whole fruit pieces and mashed compote. Michigan-made maple syrup brought this dish from the garden back into grandma's kitchen --griddled cakes at their best. Best bite The chicken marsala ($32) was top-flight. I recall my mom having perfected a version of this dish in my youth; Toscana's version rivaled hers, but if any of you tell her, I'll deny ever writing this. The two thick cuts of chicken, bathed in a rich and creamy mushroom and wine sauce, were succulent and divine. They were served over a mound of Parmesan mashed potatoes and accompanied by fresh asparagus and crispy pancetta. This was high-level Italian cooking using fresh ingredients without trying to reinvent the meal. Flavor is my favorite aesthetic.

    Ok so sometimes when I am traveling, I am not a strict vegan. This is one of those cases. The service from beginning to end was wonderful. Liz was great at the pacing of food and beverages as well as general checking in. The environment feels casual upscale. The wine delicious. The food was great and made it to the table it seems as soon as it was plated. Be prepared to spend at least $75 a person. That's before tip.

    Fettuccini Toscana Alfredo

    The food was insanely good. We got the calamari and bread basket as appetizers than had the ravioli and Alfredo for our meals. The service was also spectacular. Very clean and aest inside.

    We were looking for a place to celebrate our anniversary on a Sunday afternoon. This place is in a hotel and at first was a bit tricky to see from the road We were greeted warmly by all the staff, and the waiter was top notch. It is a beautiful place with the most comfortable chairs ever. Like a warm hug! We found out that it was only a small brunch menu, but it looked yummy so no issue. We both ordered wagyu short rib eggs Benedict with potatoes. The food came quickly but it was barely lukewarm. The potatoes were delicious but cool. The ciabatta under our main dish seemed like it was toasted yesterday, and the short rib was hard to locate. Eggs and sauce were good. I got an iced tea that was so weak it resembled dish water. Overall, with the exception of the food, it was a top notch experience

    I was in Lansing, MI for one night only and the hotel host recommended this restaurant. OMG she did…read morenot disappoint me with this recommendation. The staff was extremely kind and helped me with making suggestions. The duck ravioli was delicious (the sauce was like warm) I would have preferred it hotter but undeniably good. I'm really sad because I think I make the best steak at home of course but this steak was the bomb. It was cooked perfectly. I asked for medium and they delivered. The pork belly in the Brussel sprouts was so tender and flavorful. The restaurant is a little small so I recommend making reservations. My drink was okay (but I'm heavy handed) so alcohol might have been in it. Lol I will definitely be back.

    PHENOMENAL... but let me explain…read more I will start off by saying this place is tiny. If you try to walk in, chances are you will not get a table. I tried twice with no luck. I finally got in with a reservation and I was not disappointed. You absolutely must order steak here. Skip the sea bass or chicken and go for what they are known for. The Cowboy Ribeye was perfection. Juicy, seasoned beautifully, and so good that even though we ordered bleu cheese and horseradish sauce, we hardly touched them. Honestly, you do not need garnishes. To make the meal even better, try the Brussels with Pork Belly as a side to share. I could do without the pork belly, but the dish still worked really well. For a drink, the Nightcap was delicious and hit the spot. At first I was unsure, since the restaurant is small and the table next to us had a group of very loud business men, which made it hard to talk. That is the only reason I gave 4 stars for atmosphere. Thankfully they left early in our dinner, and the rest of the experience was wonderful. The service was excellent. We were told the steaks might take some time since they are large, but it did not feel like a long wait at all. I will definitely be coming back when I am craving steak. Come hungry because the portions are big. Highly recommended.

The service was better than any other establishment in recent memory, possibly ever in my life. Lily was our server and was amazing.

What wonderful decor, ambiance, attitudes, service, quality. Cant say enough about how much we enjoyed our anniversary dinner last night. A side note about some other reviews: Wow, reading some of these less-than-stellar reviews made me laugh a little. One was a disheveled un showered couple with a dog, feeling discriminated against because of her disability, had to include they are both MDs like that makes them better and thus entitled to be dirty and smelly with a filthy animal around a fine dining atmosphere. 1-star rating because these disgusting people expect the world to bow to their disabled war veteran doctor ass thinks common decency doesn't apply to them. I can hear her now, karen ass war vet yelling about how its illegal to refuse a service dog entry, on a packed night, people trying to enjoy their meal with dirty vagabonds and their stench. Disgusting. Another reviewer gave three stars after being seated in a room with his group that is reserved for parties, not as elegantly dressed as other areas of the restaurant. He must be so fancy.

There was one small piece of lobster in this bite, so not the most generous portion for the price. Main: 6 Oz Filet Mignon 3/5 - The meat was cooked well (to medium rare) and had a great crust on the exterior. This carried the dish (as it should). The accompanying sides, mashed potatoes and seasonal veggies, would be best left out. The broccolini and green beans were salty and overcooked, extremely soft and cooked well past it's ideal texture. The mashed potatoes were ok, but are just there as a filler. Side: Michigan Kale Salad 2/5 - The ingredient list sounded superb, but the execution was not there. The kale pieces were LARGE and were hard to eat in bites. It desperately needed another chop (or few) and a deep tissue massage. The salad was also HEAVY on the red onion - if that's your thing, then this is a great salad for you. The red onion was added with a heavy hand and needed to be soaked in water prior to serving to get rid of the pungent bite. Pass. The free bread rolls were ok as well, but I would rather have a Texas Road House roll.

I look forward to returning to Envie to check out more of their menu and perhaps be able to have the same waitress.
