I have eaten here on many occasions. The food and service have consistently been high quality. Great decor and warm atmosphere. My last visit on Wednesday evening was my first negative experience. The waitress told us what the days specials were. There is no insert in the menu listing the specials, so it is all done verbally. Item prices were not mentioned. She recommended the prime rib, but there was only one left. My friend ordered the prime rib and I chose something else. The food was delicious, but we were shocked when we got the bill and discovered the prime rib was $120. I was very disappointed that we were not told the cost before ordering, especially given there was no insert listing prices. I assumed the specials would be aligned with the price range of the menu, not over four times the cost of the average dish. It is deceiving.

I went there on my anniversary.I searched on internet to find out the best place in Rochester hills for romantic dinner and search gave me this restaurant on top. But frankly speaking, It was not that good. I expected ambiance to be far good but didnt find it so good. I have seen far more better ambiance restaurants in around that area. Food was ok(not so great). But the lady who attended us was very nice though, she helped us by explaining the choice between different dishes.

We enjoyed dinner here this evening, using a Groupon. We were the first ones here on a Saturday night at 6:30, which was surprising, considering most of the other restaurants in downtown were hopping. My husband had the perch which were heavily coated, as advertised, but tasted good. I had the chicken marsala with mashed potatoes and broccoli. Both were generously portioned & piping hot. We have another Groupon so we will return, but we have other favorite spots in downtown.

Please dont go here to eat! Absolutely ruined my birthday party. They brought out out all our food except my wifes. Took 35 minutes to get her food and by then our overcooked steaks were cold. Told the manager who could care less. Got charged for all the meal and didnt even comp her meal. HORRIBLE EXPIERANCE!!!!! Please dont go here because the foods horrible and the service is too. Super loud bar enviroment with very limited seating thats smoothed together.

Best place to eat and drink in Rochester! They have the best calamari I have ever tasted. My wifes papardelle pasta with sun dried tomatoes and goat cheese was delicious and my roasted chicken with lemon caper sauce was awesome. On tap of that our cocktails were perfectly prepared. Will definitely be a regular here!

Food and atmosphere was pretty good. Pricing of the specials I would say is out of line with the rest of the menu prices. They dont tell you the price of the specials, but they are easily double the price (between $80 and $95) of the highest priced item on the menu.

My wife and I dined there this past weekend. She had the Salmon and I had the Filet. I could honestly cut the filet with my fork, it was that tender. I also had a taste of her Salmon, both were delicious and service was great. Will be back for more!

We were just walking up Main Street, guess the place just opened so we thought we would check it out. Got some apps and drinks. We loved the calamari and drinks were tasty. I will be back for dinner to try more of the menu.

While the service was good and the waiter was polite and helpful, the food lacked flavor and wasnt tasty. Basic dishes like a burger and spaghetti were poorly prepared and pricy. The setting was nothing unusual or special.

Great atmosphere, delicious food! The Steak bites are very tender and served with a creamy sauce with brandy and shaved truffles..The wine list is interesting. Great addition to the Rochester restaurant scene!

Chef Derek and Main bartender Derek are the greatest! Shout out to Victorious, JLo, and Bree. Saying that the cuisine is great is an understatement.

Great food but ask for price of Specials!!! I got surprised by a $100 Steak Special. It was good but it was not that good.

Adam Newsome

Very nice atmosphere. Bartender was awesome and made some incredible drinks. Only downside is that it is a little pricey.

Scott Crooks

Great filet mignon and lamb burger. Liked the ambiance too. Mild light and dark wood.
