| - YES! One of the best experiences in DTW yet! My husband and I have lived near Willoughby for three years now, and I've been waiting for a fun, unique restaurant to move in. Finally, it came in the form of a Latin-infused cuisine that was fresh and delicious! The atmosphere was fun and beautiful. We went early, so we were seated immediately. Our server (Debbie, I think) was fan-freaking-tastic. She greeted us quickly, reviewed the menu with us, set our expectations, and took our drink order. I was feeling fun- so I order the Mai Sol. Dear god- it took me straight to a tropical island. It was AMAZING. We took some time to review the menu- there were so many tasty- sounding options!!! Debbie walked us through the types of courses, and was very knowledgable about them. She was able to recommend items for us, and even told us to take our time; we didn't have to order everything right away. So we ordered the Brussels sprouts. Now- my husband and I don't eat brussel sprouts, ever. So when they arrived at our table, I was hesitant, but my fears quickly fell away with the first bite. Cooked to perfection, with a yummy grilled sear and this citrus aioli- they were out of sight!!! My husband and I ate them, had great conversation and when Debbie reappeared, we were ready for our next order. Now- all of the food looked so good, but I knew I wasn't going to be able to eat a full entree. So, we decided to split the flank steak skewers- and it was also amazing! The skewers came with a stack of freshly made fried onion rings, super thin and crunchy. Just plain yum- the steak was peppery and mega flavorful, cooked to perfection. After we ate the plate, we were ready for dessert. We ordered the churros, and were not disappointed. They were at least a foot long each, with chocolate and caramel sauce, and cinnamon sugar. SO good. Throughout dinner, our waitress would pop in and see if we needed anything. She was great for conversation, and didn't feel too invasive. More like part of the family. The manager also popped in to check, which was nice. Overall, amazing experience. We're going back for the Valentines Day pre-fixe dinner- SO EXCITED!
