We enjoyed Tamayo very much. It's a great restaurant to go to before a performing arts event. We had an event at the Bellco and were able to relax and have our dinner without worrying that we wouldn't make it on time. Service was fast but not rushing. The food was great. I had the fish ceviche and my husband had the Tika enchiladas, both delicious. We had Margaritas, a little light on the tequila side, but otherwise tasty. Ambiance was very nice. We will likely go there again.

Our dinner at Alteno was one of the best meals of our lives. The food, drinks, and service were all superb! It was our first experience but we will definitely be back for more celebrations.

Great experience at chef bar. Innovative cocktails with fun riffs on classics. Each dish was texturally complex and had interesting but balanced flavor complexity with sour, spicy, sweet combinations. Highly recommended.

Every course was exceptional. The cocktails were perfect and paired well with the food. Professional yet unpretentious service. I want to go back and try everything!

Wow! We had the best service, the ambiance is amazing, they have a great Happy Hour 3-6, including mocktails, and you can't go wrong with any of their tacos. I had the Birriaha (sp?) and my friend the pork shoulder and we were both blown away. It's no wonder this restaurant has a bib gourmand Mich Star recommendation!
