"Every experience I 've had with THIS Amy 's location in particular has been nothing short of stellar. I live not too far from here and much like many other overworked/underpaid adults my age eat way too much ice cream. Therefore, I can assure you my critique is well founded. The ice cream is nothing short of 5 stars. As far as the customer service and the personnel goes also 5 stars. I scrolled through some other (negative) reviews and even though we 're all entitled to our opinions, I 'm entitled to say that they don 't know what they 're talking about! Without being too revealing, I once stopped in LITERALLY 1 minute before closing time to get ice cream for my girlfriend who was having a particularly rough time of the month . I was fully expecting to be met with (justifiable) disdain by the employees who 'd already almost finished closing shop, but it was a calculated decision... Anyways, the girls working couldn 't have been nicer. We shared pleasant convo while they scooped my ice cream and I went on my way. These were teenage girls, by the way. I 'm much older and have spent years working in the service industry and even I wouldve been disgruntled with a visit THAT late. Today, I went in with a different request. I asked if I could hang a flyer for a fundraiser I 'm running for a friend. I didn 't have to tell them what it was for (my brother who has terminal brain cancer). Not only did they say yes, but I was given a prime location to hang the flyer. As cliche as it sounds, I now go to Amy 's for more than just the ice cream. I go because I know I can expect to be met with cool people with big smiles."

"I visited this restaurant on Sunday for brunch around 2 PM and was pleasantly surprised to find it was not crowded at all. It turned out to be a quiet place where you can enjoy your conversation in a softly lit dining room with attentive service. We ordered several breakfast items, including the cheese omelet and shakshuka, among others. My omelet was light, airy, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. The mushrooms and vegetables inside were cooked perfectly—not too soft—adding just the right amount of texture to complement the creamy goat cheese. Everyone at the table finished their meals with satisfied smiles and full bellies. The presentation of the dishes was impressive, and the prices were reasonable."

"A great place for some authentic French dining experience! We went for lunch and desserts. Pastries get 5 starts, and the food gets 4. I only got to taste the macaroons and the French baguette, but I'm going off a friend's review that all the pastry/dessert items are top notch. She lived in France for years and took home some $50 of desserts after lunch. That says it all. So I trust her and give them 5 stars on the desserts. The baguette was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with warm puffs of air with every bite. The macaroons were amazing, but to be honest, they were not better than the ones from Shorewood's North Shore Boulangerie... On to the food. Oh, and I didn't quite realize from looking up the pictures on yelp before we arrived, but they have a bigger dining area upstairs, so what you see when you enter is not all. Plenty of room for a nice dinner. Confit de canard crepe The crepe was delicious, but personally, I wasn't wowed by the duck confit. It might be just me I've not had it much to begin with, so I may just not like duck confit in general. I like duck but more the Peking style. Filet de Boeuf with fries Both the fries and the sandwich was great. If you're into large portions, don't think you'll get it here. But again, the bread was flawless, but the beef itself was a bit lacking in taste. Crostini de Brie Basically baguettes topped with brie and toasted. Ooh, they had some good brie and I've already raved about their baguette. Moules marniere Mussels in sauce true French style and quite amazing. Overall, the breads and the appetizers were top notch, but the entrees themselves were somewhat lacking personally. I would like to try their dinner menu before giving up on the dining experience though."

"The service was warm and welcoming, and the Dirty Chai was outstanding (and made with organic coffee, to boot!). The savory crepes were delightful, and the cozy atmosphere was further complemented by French music playing from the satellite radio. I would give it a perfect 10/10 and will definitely go back. I’m already looking forward to trying their chocolates on my next visit!"

"You know those sterile office buildings with a sad commissary where building occupants begrudgingly pay a few bucks for vending machine-quality sandwiches? Jolt n Bolt should be what these spaces aspire to! I've always walked by, but never made it in. This place doesn't have any curb appeal, so you have to enter next to the loading dock either off Illinois or through a conspicuous door off 3rd. The actual seating area is very sparse, but I like that this place creates daily menus. They serve the simple cafe staples, but with quality: salads, sandwiches, quiche, soup, and pastries. I got a quiche combo for lunch. The salad portion was decent, and the quiche hit the spot. I also grab macaroons every time I'm here. Their pastries are by Gerhard Michler, and they are all excellent, including their chocolate chip cookies. I love seeing their big, open kitchen. The place is clean, the food is not fussy, and they offer a different entree every day (pizza, burger, etc). If you need a consistent, reliable cafe for a quick lunch grab, this is the place!"

"If you're an active and fun-loving individual, this restaurant is the perfect spot for you! It boasts a fantastic atmosphere, attentive service, and professional staff. You can relax on spacious couches while enjoying a huge screen that showcases NFL games and other live sports events. The best part? It's located in the Crowne Plaza Hotel, so if you happen to get a bit tired, you can easily book a room. Doesn't that sound delightful?"

"I'll never go back again. Waited over an hour not exaggeratting for our food to arrive. One meal was incorrect and had to be sent back. That took another 25 minutes. We just ended up getting it to go. We noticed Sheli walking around talking to a lot ofother customers but did not even look our way. Our bill was almost $300. One person in our party had been there multiple timesand Sheli would stop by and talk to him every time he was there, but not this time. I will say the waitress was very nice, keptchecking our table, filling water, and drinks. We were very disappointed. The two stars are for the great service provided bythe waitress and the pork chop were good when we finally got them."

"I’ve been to many vegan restaurants around United States and most of the vegan restaurants in the Detroit area and Ann Arbor area, with that being said I had high hopes for this restaurant because of the high ratings. First let’s talk about the service. My first visit our waitress forgot about us when we got there because I don’t think she knew she had a table so we sat there for about 20 minutes with nothing u til we said who is out waitress then someone was sent over. Once we placed our order and received our food which took about 35 minutes to get which isn’t to bad but on the longer side, the food was bland, flavorless, and what you would imagine vegan food tasted like 50 years ago before the art of great chefs and flavors collided with vegan cooking. We had a table of four and every person at the table had some kind of issue with their meal, i’ve never experienced before because usually were impressed with vegan cooking especially in Michigan lately. The bill came to $89 for four meals two were dinners two were light meals and three drinks. The second visit because I thought maybe the first time I didn’t get a chance to get something I liked so about six months later I went again with my husband. He was hopeful because of the pictures and reviews on yelp. Sadly he and I were once again scratching our heads on why this place was rated one of the best vegan places in royal oak. Our waitress would barely smile and acted like I was putting her out when I asked where our appetizer was that she forgo and had come out with our meal. My drink was empty before the meal and ever asked to refill or purchase another. The spaghetti had large wheat noodles that were a tad hard, the chili was good and filling, the Blue tortilla chips I loved but they heat the salsa which was gross it tasted like I was dipping my tortilla chips in hot marinara sauce. My burger was good and filling but on the bland side but still good for a vegan burger. The coleslaw was basically chopped up cabbage with little season, taste, or sauce. I really wanted to love this place it is literally one bock from my house but I hate to say it’s just not a place I would ever want to go to ever again."

"I went with a group for a birthday. It was the worst service any of us had ever experienced. Our waiter only took a couple of drink orders and then left for more than 20 minutes before we checked in to take the rest of the table order. For the food we had to tell him that we had to order. Then he took 4 orders, went away and didn't come back. When we got him to come back after telling several other workers we needed to complete the order, he forgot that he had taken the first orders. He finally took a few more orders and went, again not to every person at the table. It took 2 hours in total and the food came out at all different times. We were all honestly very confused about what was happening throughout our dinner."

"this caffe was close to our hotel so we decided to review it and not disappoint it! we were here for approx. 4 days and have come here 3 times within our stay, because the service and eating are incredible. Eating comes in literally 10 minutes max, regardless of how busy it is, and it is hot and fresh. they also make latte art that we were very excited and it was absolutely beautiful. the caffe is very clean and the personal is so warm and welcoming. the prices are also great. thank you for being incredible! happy to know that they have another location in dc, so we can always look by for some good food!"

"I recently visited LA on vacation and was looking for a breakfast spot. Honestly, I didn't expect much when I walked in, but the staff was incredibly friendly and seated us right away! The food was amazing—I ordered the farmer's egg breakfast with poached eggs, and I can't recommend it enough. The service was top-notch, and the breakfast was the best I've ever had. If you're in the area, you absolutely have to check this place out!"

"We were in Milwaukee for a convention and noticed that Pier 106 was the only seafood restaurant around so decided to give it a try. Its right on the Riverwalk so a great location especially for those who like to sit outside (we didn't). We had great service and our meal was very good. We enjoyed an appetizer of mussels & clams which had white sauce over them - sauce reminded me of New England clam chowder - very different than what we expected but delicious. I had the stuffed salmon as my entrée and my husband had the ahi tuna - both dishes were very good. I'd recommend Pier 106 to anyone visiting Milwaukee."

"I had made a reservation for 7:30. It was my son's birthday. We also stayed at the River Crab hotel there . We were seated at 7:45 At 8:05 No one still had come to.our table. Had to ask for water and 8:15 a boy brought us water and said he would send over a waitress. 8:30 still no waitress Got up and told the hostess to please send a waitress. 8 :40 still no one. Every waitress passed out table like we were not even there. I.was so upset that we got up and left the restaurant and went somewhere else.to eat. There were 4 of us and my son's birthday was totally ruined!!!!!. I have never in my life treated so poorly at a restaurant. I will be sure to tell my friends of the horrible service we received. NO EXCUSE FOR THIS KIND OF SERVICE!!!!!!!!!"

"I had Caitlyn for a server and she was great. I went for Valentines day and they were out of a side dish that I really wanted to try which was the mac n cheese. Not sure if they ran out of pasta or cheese but that was a bit disappointing. Upon ordering steaks my party was informed that what our cooked preference was would not be what we'd receive based on how the chef preferred to cook to the steaks. For example, I wanted my steak medium but she told me that he'd cook a medium steak more medium rare and if I wanted true medium that I'd have to request it medium well. To me, that's weird because why not just cook someone's steak how they prefer it. Based on this I'm assuming that the chef is one of those highly prejudiced ppl who hates ppl that orders steak well done lol. Me, personally, I don't like well done steak and don't necessarily like when ppl want one but it's not my life's mission to infringe on people's right to eat their steak however they want it either. The bread that they serve is absolutely amazing! It's like a cheese muffin but so much more than a cheese muffin at the same time. Cocktails are not watered-down at all. You order an alcoholic beverage and you're gonna taste and feel it for sure! The brussel sprouts were very delicious, a tad bit more on the sweet side than I'd prefer but I've been on keto for over a year so my taste buds have changed a lot and anything sweet tastes overly sweet to me. Over all, the service was top notch and the food was definitely good. The sides are huge portions so they're not just for one person. I would say the ambiance is more on the upscale side but I saw ppl casually dressed or even in what appeared to be street wear."

"SUPERB in every way. We have been to the Stone Creek Inn many times over the years and it never disappoints. In fact, it has only gotten better. The service is friendly and professional, the food is exceptional and the atmosphere is lovely. Overall, the quality is what one might expect in a top Michelin-star restaurant. In my opinion, it is easily the best restaurant in eastern Long Island."
