We have taken friends here a few times, along with our infant daughter. I craved their mushroom bisque for months when I was pregnant and they made it once and never again. I know because I called twice a week...
We took friends again in March and low and behold, they had the mushroom bisque. It was as good as I remember, if not better. Mouth Heaven! Our friends are foodies and they really enjoyed it. 3 of us got the pretzel crusted fish n chips (if you read my posts, I'm a BIG fish n chips fan) and the other got the chicken with mozz and tomato and basil I think. Everyone loved their meal and the drinkers enjoyed the myriad of beers.
It gets a little noisy, but nothing I would call extreme. The wait staff is always courteous and even though we had to wait (Saturday night...) there was a comfy couch in the next room and we sat and looked over the menu and prepared ourselves. We had a really great time. Definitely check this place out. Right on Detroit Ave (where the old Niko's was on Detroit, if you're a native) then you can always pop on over to the Merry Arts to finish the night :)
