Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Madison Heights

It's a LOUD FUN piano show!!! We didn't eat - but the food looked great!

I brought a large group for a wine tasting with Helen who is AMAZING. She is incredibly knowledgeable and personable. I highly recommend seeking her out. The wine tasting is an excellent value and a lot of fun. My guests enjoyed themselves thoroughly and several bought bottles of wine. We then had dinner and Patrick was our server who was FANTASTIC. He handled our large group like a pro. No delays on food or drinks and the food was delicious. I’ll definitely ask for him again—a real pro. I’ve been to Cooper’s Hawk many times so I usually know what I’m getting with the food and wine, so for me, it comes down to the service. And both Helen and Patrick are pros and really add to the experience. You’re much appreciated!!!

Marvin is an amazing server, he is personable, his timing is impeccable, and you can never go wrong with his recommendations. Our appetizers and entrees were flawless and I highly recommended the mushroom ravioli. The only suggestion we have for improvement is the cocktail list. The bartenders were both very friendly, they did a great job executing the cocktails on their list, but the cocktail list is vodka heavy and seems straight out of the late nineties early 2000s. The art of cocktails has involved past mules and 15 flavors of vodka “martinis” and their list would benefit from expanding or at least having the ingredients to cover classics from the IBA list.

We had a fabulous dinner. We ordered the cheese and focaccia appetizer it was delicious. We followed with the Alchemi salad which was filled with fresh vegetables and the dressing was light and perfect for that salad. We then shared an entree of lobster shrimp pad Thai. Everything including our service was great!

I always liked the original location in grosse pointe. Have not been to Royal since it first opened. Still great!
