    2 James is the hidden gem I've been trying to gate keep for years. But have done it unsuccessfully - as now, everyone I know loves it as much as I do. The cocktails are creative, seasonal, well balanced and stiff. The ambiance is sexy and quaint. It is moderately priced and the bottles you can purchased are also aesthetically pleasing for my bar cart. Note: The absinthe fountain is not for the weak of heart, but it is for you if you're not a kill joy. The gimlet!!! The staff!!! I love you!!!

    Stopped in for and afternoon cocktail on a Saturday and it was pretty empty. The bar tender was friendly and did an awesome job on our drinks. I got the pain killer, it was strong but I loved their version of the drink.

    This place came highly recommended and we had to check it out. The manager Rachel immediately introduced herself to us and offered complimentary tastings of some of their amazing spirits including: rum, vodka, gin, bourbon, as well as coffee liqueur and ale brandy. We ordered a few cocktails (jungle bird, painkiller) and were highly impressed. The overall atmosphere is eccentric and chill paired with amazing drinks and service. Highly recommend checking this place out for a date night or a night out with friends.

    As regulars at 7 Monks, my boyfriend and I had noticed the beginnings of the Two James Spirits tasting room coming together in the side room pre-COVID. Then during our first COVID times visit, it looked like it was close to being open. I hadn't seen any official opening announcements, but when we stopped in for dinner the other night, we were told it was the first week they were open. So we decided to check it out! We ended up having a great time. Our bartender Alex was incredibly helpful and knowledgable. He had great recommendations and helped guide us through the extensive cocktail menu. Two James is a distillery based in Detroit, so it was fun to be able to try some of their products in a new setting. The main spirits for the cocktails are whiskey, gin, vodka, and rum. We tried a little bit of everything! The Lona's Earthen Jar, Peter Piper, Golden Earth, and Le Baron were some favorites. These cocktails are so unique and interesting, it was delightful to try some new things. The Le Baron was definitely one of the most interesting cocktails I've had maybe ever - it is a savory drink that smells like ramen but is so delicious - really weird but very good. If you're a fan of fun drinks definitely stop in and try some of Two James' spirits! You can mix and match flights and they have pricing based on how many tastings you get. I really loved their vodka, barrel aged gin, and the rum. They even have absinthe, which I'd never tried before. It's super botanical with a very strong anise flavor. If you're not a black licorice fan, stay away! The vibe in this tasting room is funky and a bit eclectic, with some fun murals and art and topiaries hanging from the ceiling. The seating is varied and the whole area is pretty cozy. We felt very comfortable hanging out here for a few hours chatting with the bartenders and learning about all the drinks. You can order food from 7 Monks online for takeout, and they'll bring it right to your table. Definitely get here soon, as I'm sure it'll be super busy as people start finding out about this hidden gem!

    Great cocktails! Knowledgeable and friendly bartenders. Cute atmosphere. What more could you ask for? Food? Right next door and can be brought to your table :)

    Fellow Yelper Karsen told us to try the Dashi back here, so we decided to stop by on a whim this past Saturday to try it out.

    My initial experience was frustrating. I ordered through Uber Eats and only received about half of…read moremy order. After contacting the restaurant, I was told the missing items would be remade and ready in about 20 minutes. It ultimately took closer to 45 minutes, and I had to drive to the restaurant myself to pick up food that should have arrived correctly the first time. That said, what changed my opinion was how the team handled the situation afterward. The General Manager personally came out, apologized sincerely, gave me her card, and told me to contact her directly so she could make things right. She took ownership of the mistake rather than making excuses, which I genuinely appreciated. Nobody likes dealing with a missing order, and there is definitely room for improvement in their Uber Eats process. However, mistakes happen in every business. What matters is how a company responds when things go wrong, and Stella's showed they care about their customers and reputation. Not a perfect experience, but the recovery effort and customer service earned back a lot of goodwill. We'll give them another chance.

Had to flag them down to order food, get condiments for the food, get more water. Never got any silverware or napkins. Also didn't know if you can order food online. She had her thumb up her a$$ the hole time. It was not busy at all. We stayed and it got busier, she did do a lot better once it got busier! Was my birthday and I could tell it was my birthday and no single worker ever told me happy birthday! The other shift after about 5pm ish was a lot better!!

As we were quickly sat, we were attended too nearly immediately and often. Our experience enjoying the hummus platter was simple yet effective and a grand start to our meal experience. Our burgers were most enjoyable and the wait time was most reasonable! A lovely environment for a girls day or a family meal! We also wanted to shout out the pomegranate lemonade! At first it is surprising, but has a bit of a holiday flavor that compliments the meals wonderfully!

I could see after having a few beers these might have seemed good, but sober they were not it. Double cheese burger was smaller then I anticipated. Beef was well seasoned and had a good taste. Bun was generic. My real issue was the veggie on it. My lettuce had brown/black tips. My tomato was soggy. The pickles had no crunch to it, they were tough to bite through. Fries that came with the burger were also not my favorite. Thickness between wedge fried and steak fries, rough chopped every piece was different size so how could you cook them all consistently. No crisp to the fries, fairly greasy too. I wont be back.

It's clear somethings going on with ownership maybe wanting to sell as I'm seeing reviews on here. Anyway our experience was unique; I told my wife and people at the event it was like a scene out of bar rescue! Serving drinks in red solo cups, the bar wasn't very stocked, and though we didn't look around and inspect the place it didn't give off a clean vibe because of updates that look like are needed. That being said at least around us the bar from what we could tell was maintained. Our bartender was friendly so there's that. But immediately on sitting we were informed the kitchen was closed and overheard later with other guests that it was due to staffing issues. Again overhearing it sounded like alot of things were out; even staples like Bud light. My drink was fine but my wife's cider was flat and probably an old keg... again just get the vibe they cashed out and putting minimal in... so I'd definitely recommend another spot until new ownership or some change comes... Which is too bad because even photos on here from 5 years ago look completely different (stocked bar) and I used to come here often about 10 -12 years ago for fun times and great value/experience.

    We only stopped in to meet clients and have a few drinks. Very friendly staff with a good vibe to…read moreit. I didn't see anyone eating or look at a menu. I cannot comment on anything about the food. Overall a good bib and friendly staff

    MERTENS Prime really wants to feel like an upscale steakhouse, but the reality misses the mark…read more The entire place was dark, the seating was uncomfortable and cheap, and details like missing candles and worn walls made it feel neglected rather than intentionally "historic." Service hovered in a way that felt more judgmental than welcoming. On top of that, almost everything was $2 more than the menu price (my tiny side salad listed at $7/14 came to $9), and our bill shows a "seat count" of 10 even though we were seven -- probably why the automatic 18% gratuity hit. The food itself was mid at best; ironically, the highlight was a coffee mocktail.

    We had an amazing dinner at Mertens Prime this past Saturday and were honestly surprised by how…read morecalm it was when we arrived around 5:15 PM--only a few other tables were seated, which made the experience feel even more special. We ordered the Hand-Cut Filet for Two and it did not disappoint. The 20oz steak was sliced tableside and cooked perfectly--tender, flavorful, and exactly how a steak should be. We paired it with the red wine steak sauce, which took everything to the next level. For sides, we chose the garlic mashed potatoes (a must) and the glazed Brussels sprouts. Both were incredibly delicious and complemented the steak so well. I also started with an espresso martini, and wow--it was one of the best I've had in a long time. Smooth, well-balanced, and dangerously easy to drink. We were seated in one of their cozy half-circle booths, which made the evening feel intimate and comfortable. Our server was friendly, attentive, and paced the meal perfectly. Between the quality of the food, the drinks, and the overall atmosphere, this was a fantastic dining experience. I'll absolutely be back for another steak dinner--and that espresso martini!

It was busy - as expected. But the overall vibe of the place is so cozy and intimate. We love it! We were able to sit at the bar and Hailey took such good care of us! She was attentive, friendly and made great cocktails! Started with a Smoked Pineapple Flan cocktail and a dirty martini. Both were delicious! Loved the martini glass. We each had a side Caesar salad to start. The lettuce was crisp and the dressing was perfect. Once again, we had the Old Chicago on Sicilian crust. One of these days I'm going to try the deep dish, I swear! But that Sicilian is just so dang good! It was perfection as usual. This was the first time we ordered dessert.

We were called and offered a seat at the bar within 20 minutes and a table within 45. The booth was very plush and comfy! The nightly mule was a berry feature and I was tempted, but opted for my standard old fashioned. Delicious. They had 2 draft ciders, a sangria and a local gr local (vandermill). So my partner was pleased and liked the cider enough to indulge in a second. We had the mushroom bread as a starter and split the fettuccine alfredo and a deep dish. Everything came out to perfection. The vibe was immaculate and worth the wait. The server was wonderful and the other team members jumped in clearing plates and delivering drinks and boxes so quickly so we never felt even a little bit ignored. I would absolutely recommend this to a friend for a fun night out.
