The Royal Eagle Fine Dining

This place is not messing around with anything. This is a top flight restaurant. It's a place for a special occasion. Take your own bottle of wine if you want as they only serve pop and coffee. The grounds are something to see, so plan on a half hour for that. While we ate peacocks roamed around outside the windows. It's truly a great experience and a gem of a place for Michigan. Go here and experience it. It's a somewhat hidden place in the city.

Delicious food. Staff was very kind and respectful.

I am beyond delighted with the delicious and beautiful vegan food at a Christmas tea at Royal Eagle which is on the grounds of St. Sabbas Orthodox Monastary. The napkins, which I loved, were folded by the monks. There is a requirement for modest dress as it is a monastary.

We were excited to dine here and were celebrating my birthday. It is quite expensive, but they advertise fine dining and we decided to splurge. We looked at the reviews and there were many good reviews. We should have paid attention to the poor reviews, they are far more honest and accurate than the positive reviews. I am guessing people struggled with saying anything negative about a nonprofit restaurant/experience. The ambience is quite nice, although they refused to turn on the fireplace on a December evening, because they said it would get too warm. The waitress was very friendly. However, she was the only staff member we saw. She greeted people at the door, served the tables, bussed, the tables and so on. As you can imagine, service was slow. We were there for three hours, I ordered the rosemary leg of lamb and my husband ordered the château Brion. We love good food and love to eat, and anyone that knows me, knows that I never leave my food unfinished. We each were only able to eat about three bites of our entrée, because they were absolutely inedible. I couldn’t even eat more than a couple of bites of the chocolate gingerbread dessert. My lamb looked like something that was pressed from a mold and my husband’s château Breon tasted like vinegar. This was the most disappointing experience we have ever had in a restaurant. I would never recommend this establishment to anyone, and I will never return. We will chalk this experience up to a healthy donation.
