I have been here three times. The first time we (me + wife + friend) were just looking to try an appetizer and stayed for a few drinks, apps, and dinner. After dinner we bought a couple bottles of wine to take home (note: the wine selection is modest in offerings but quite good overall).
The second time we (me + wife) went we had dinner and bought LOTS of goodies (mainly meats and cheeses for a party at our house). We bought packaged meats but got the full treatment with the cheeses - meaning the lovely young man behind the counter was exceedingly patient with us (we don't know much about this stuff) and sampled numerous excellent cheeses. We bought four different ones (my favorite was a goat cheese).
The third time we (me + wife) came for a ticketed-event scotch tasting. It was amazing. The staff was great because they had an unexpectedly large turnout and moved us from the front (tight quarters) to a lovely private room in the back. Awesome scotch and great food pairings/palette cleansers (including meats, cheeses, and even tiny offerings of creme brûlée that were delicious).
I only offer constructive criticism: during the scotch tasting we would gladly have ordered off of the food menu offered in the dining room in the storefront (the pairings were great but the scotch pours were generous so we could have used more food).
This is a new favorite in the Detroit Shoreway neighborhood and will be coming back frequently. Come for apps or dinner and leave with groceries!
