  Horrible! Food was terrible. Just go into the bathrooms and you'll see. You won't stay. Waitress was nice

  Where to begin...the pros- the real estate lends itself to a fantastic view of St. Clair River and the freighters, the staff for the luncheon reception (that I attended), were very polite, friendly, and quick to serve. It's downhill from there...cons- both inside and outside of the place looks like a has been. On the outside, in need of paint, repairs, and a new roof. Inside, worn ripped carpeting, peeling paint, dirty and broken windows, toilet and ceramic tiles, foul smelling bathroom with overflowing wastebasket (and we were the first patrons of the day). Food was inedible, chicken was bone dry with a dried out tasteless sauce, cod looked like it had sawdust on top, sirloin steak was half inch thick, tough and devoid of flavor , salad had a rubbery texture (only 2 dressing choices). Not sure how this place is staying afloat but they may want to consider a visit from the Restaurant Rescue crew...and fast. Until then spend your hard earned money elsewhere. 1 star mandatory required to post review.

  We used to love this place but, it's gone seriously downhill! The place is absolutely filthy! We sat at the bar and spent the night swatting at fruit fly's and gnats, they were everywhere! The beer sign next to me had two dead mosquitoes smashed on it! The place smells dirty! The liquor and mixer bottles have pour spouts on them and I'm sure there are probably insects in the bottles! There was somebody sitting in street clothes watching TV at the bar at a high volume and when he jumped behind the bar to help the staff and he was answering their questions, I realized he must be the manager! Absolutely unprofessional! I managed a high end restaurant for years and couldn't believe what I was seeing! This is an extremely poorly managed and run restaurant, its dirty, staff wears whatever they want there are no uniforms, it seems to me that ownership and management either don't care or gave up a long time ago! Too bad because its a beautiful location!
