    Wendy, is this one of our favorite restaurants! The shrimp with Angel hair pasta dish is my personal favorite, as is the lobster bisque. The service is always excellent as are the beverages.  if you can hit the patio on a nice weather day, it is one of the nicest in the city.

    My partner & I came in for dinner before a show. We were seated next to a family & asked to move a table down to a more isolated table which wasn’t a problem. My cocktail was the Venetian Sunset (perfectly fruity and delicious). I ordered Branzino which was phenomenal. Seasoned perfectly and the potatoes on it were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Delicious. My Partner got the Lamb Pappardelle, which she enjoyed but said was well seasoned (a teeny tiny bit too salty, wishes she had more noodles to balance out the sauce but I just gave her some of my potatoes instead which worked out nicely. For dessert we ordered the Lemon Cassata which was elevated and delicious. It reminded me of lemon bars but even better with the layers of cake and lemon. We loved it and left full. Our server (Our Server, Eric, burned his hand serving the Pappardelle from the hot pot & we thanked him for his sacrifice of comfort.) Eric was an amazing server, wasn’t overbearing and allowed us to enjoy our meal in peace. Would definitely return!

    Michael took very good care of us. He was attentive and very versed in the menu. They do sushi better than any steakhouse I have been to. The tuna app pictured was great. The pork wings pictured were great. Steak Burrow is spicy, perfectly cooked, and high quality steak. Wish they had a store in Detroit!
