  The Good: The food is often very very good, I place it higher than most. I highly recommend the Mac & Cheese! Presentation is favorable. The view of the bridge and mouth of the St Clair River is excellent. The staff is very friendly and professional.
  
  The Bad: Recently, the menu changed and took away some of my favorite Twisted Rooster items. They also lose points due to a couple of issues that never seem to get fixed, namely they are notoriously slow. I'm not talking about how long it takes to get your food, either. They can be completely empty and it doesn't matter. Every step is slow once you get seated, slow getting a place setting, slow getting your drinks, slow ordering your food, slow getting refills (which you will need as your meal is going to take some waiting to get). I've also had the pleasure or misfortune of mistakes on my orders in a good percentage of my visits. Some were good ("oops wrong desert, you get this free") others were bad, such as steak not cooked to specs.
  
  The price is reasonable for the quality of the food.
  
  Overall this is a decent place to show off to some guests, a date or a business lunch where time doesn't matter. If you are interested in eating delicious well presented reasonably priced food, this is your place. If you are in a hurry, order ahead. Also, if you plan a large gathering (company lunch) you'll need to give them advanced notice and unfortunately large parties get a reduced menu, which is a drag.
