Best Small Plates Restaurant Lansing Near Me

Island Ewert: Not sure what I was expecting, cute place, gave hotel vibes. If that's what you're looking for while getting a cocktail this place is for you!

وفاء حسن: Our bartender/server was Kyra and she did an amazing job making us feel welcome and right at home. Will definitely be a regular hangout for us!

William Hamilton: Fresh attractive bar. Nice location - a bit hidden. Owners need to promote the place more. It's crazy how overlooked it is.Not know much about the food - not sure if I ate...Food: 3/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Carmen Gauna: Would give this place zero stars if I could. The service is terrible and the management is so beyond rude. We waited over an hour and a half for our food because apparently the manager ran out of bread and needed to go to the store. Instead of relaying this to us up front, they just dragged us along pretending they didn’t know how long it would take, totally lying and misleading us. Finally we asked if we could just pay for our drinks and leave and they charged us for the food we didn’t even get. When I asked to speak with the manager, they sent out a bartender who conveniently now had our food. We explained we waited over an hour and a half for food and we didn’t even want it because we were leaving and they argued with us about how long we waited. I even explained to them I have a text to my friend that says “I’m here” that was sent at a specific time and they really raised their voices at us and argued with us that because our food eventually came out, we had to pay for it whether we wanted it or not. So we paid and left but I cannot express how absolutely disgusted I am with the management there. 0/10. I don’t recommend this place at all and based on the other comments regarding their service, this doesn’t seem like a one off.

Ryan Cragg: Drinks are ok, but you have to listen to music that swears literally every other word and should be offensive to almost everyone.

Greg DeLucia: Nice spot for a drink and good views

Noor Johnson: I lived here a couple years back and loved MP Social. I finally had a chance to visit again and I have to say that I love it even more. I got a chance to introduce my husband to the place and he enjoyed the atmosphere and the service. Our bartender/server was Kyra and she did an amazing job making us feel welcome and right at home. Will definitely be a regular hangout for us!

Jeremy Hurt: Margarita was fantastic

Kendra Moore: It was AMAZING!!!The vibe was perfect, the drinks and appetizers were on point and the service was GREAT!! Definitely going back as soon as I can!!

Cecil Schinco: MP social isn't very social. It's very clean, very chic, and very comfortable.But not very social.If you live there, or are passing by.Wonderful.Go stop in.Have a glass of wine and a board or tartine.But I think what they need is a stupidly gregarious maitre D'.

Jess Shev: Delicious Paninis, great atmosphere, and the staff were super kind and quick to accommodate. I definitely will be back around.

Derrick Franke: Perfectly fine for a quick cocktail on the patio but that’s about it, no draft beer, poor interior ambiance and bad food (served shriveled moldy grapes with stale crackers on charcuterie board). Much potential here, wish they cared more about the space.

Elaina Lawrence: Great view, good drinks and food was pretty good too

Michael Brichta: Perfect spot to grab a drink with a view of river!

Cheyenne Nygard: First experience here was not as good as expected, my friends waited roughly an hour and a half for food and when spoke to the manager she tried argued with us around the time frame we waited, told us an hour and a half was the normal wait time for food being very hostile towards our concerns. Management was a huge disappointment with how customer concerns were addressed. Will not be going back here unless they change ownership/management.

Lacy L: Wow! Great atmosphere, beautiful patio where I watched all the river front action! It smells so good here, I can’t wait to come back.my food and drinks were amazing and the wait staff is super friendly!!

Michael Belligan: Good drinks and their new flatbreads were frankly surprisingly good (I didn’t expect much but was very pleasantly surprised when I tried one during the Feb 2021 Winterfest!)... it’s a stones’ throw from the river trail next to the (former) downtown City Market/Rotary Park, the balcony has a nice view of the river/trail and the inside is very spacious and bright with the sun coming in the river-oriented window/balcony area. I’ll definitely be back!

Shelley Kandola: Friendly staff, creative cocktails! I appreciate the to-go cocktails and the discount for residents.

Allexcis Jones: Beyond amazing drinks, people, location, and food. All around great always.

Bob Chiang: This place is fantastic. The food is great and well priced. My family of three was very satisfied with food options. Chicken and pancakes, turkey sandwich, and grilled cheese. Portions were good.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Elizabeth Mestelle: 10 Stars if 10 were an option. We parked right outside on a beautiful day! The hostess seated us immediately in a sunny spacious dining room with lots of room between tables. Our waitress Keisha was very attentive without being pushy. The huge menu offered a choice of breakfast, lunch, dinner, and small plates. The hardest part was selecting what we wanted. My guest was very pleased with her choice of a cup of asparagus bisque and the Kickin' Pastrami sandwich. I chose the Wet Breakfast Burrito! The rosemary sausage gravy generously served over the delicious burrito of eggs, bacon, hash browns, peppers, and onions was beyond superb! To top it off, my friend's birthday entitled her to a fabulous complementary dessert. She chose the bread pudding soaked in a caramel syrup and topped with real whipped cream. Wise Keisha brought it with two spoons so we could share! We love Soup Spoon Cafe!Vegetarian options: So many options! And they all are delicious.Kid-friendliness: A nice restaurant to teach kids how to enjoy good food in a wonderful atmosphere without being stuffyParking: Michigan Avenue has parallel parking. The restaurant also has a lot adjacent to the building with many parking spaces.Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of space between tablesDietary restrictions: Can special order anything on the menu to meet your needs.

Bob Meyer: Asparagus soup didn't seem to have much Asparagus , it was very tart, odd for Asparagus soup. Not what I expected. Prime Rib- ordered medium, came tough with no pink Not juicy.

Luanda Coleman: First time here! I think this may be a new hang out/ business meeting spot. Our service provider was Mike and he was amazing and so patient while my guest and I sat for A LONG TIME to catch up. He didn’t make us feel uncomfortable at all. We felt welcome to stay for as long as we wanted. My Philly beef egg rolls were FIRE! Drinks were nice and strong! So good! Great place for sure!

Chris Janderwski: Food was over priced for the taste. Was unable to sit at a booth cause they were “reserved”. Even though the hour we were at the restaurant - 3 sat empty.

Alexandria Barron: Will forever recommend Cask and Co to anyone looking for a great meal with nice ambiance. The sushi is to die for and the bartenders always strive to provide the best service possible. Syd is the bartender I have most frequently, and for that I am thankful! Whether I want to chat or take time to myself to reflect, Syd always adheres to my needs while making a hell of a drink!

Angela Firlit: Stopped in for dinner the other night, food and service was fantastic and our server Sydney was amazing!! Will come again.

David Montag: Been here twice in two weeks and the service has been exceptional, the food/menu is overwhelming in a good way with so many options and different cuisines to choose from, was not disappointed. I’d like to shout out Victoria and Kenzie, our two servers and Nathan, the GM, and one of the heads chefs, Jeff. I look forward to my next visit. Great job!!

Kimmy K: We were recommended to go here. It was fine, but the food was not as good as expected. I was recommended to try the Mac n' Cheese with pulled pork. It was good, but not amazing. We had a wonton appetizer which was fair. It was a large menu, but almost everything had too much hot seasoning. I wish that we would have tried the sushi, but neither of us felt like sushi at the time. It looked fresh.

Michael Thompson: First time checking the place out. Had the Elk Sausage Po' Boy and some coffee. Coffee was great and the Po' Boy is one of the best sandwiches I've had anywhere. Great cook and flavor on the sausage and the texture of the bread was perfect. Great bar and FOH service all around. Looking forward to the next visit.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Heath Lowry: My wife and I had the seafood gumbo and shrimp po boy, respectively. The food was flavorful and the staff was attentive. We have been meaning to try it for some time and we will be returning again.

Courtney Fung: This is my favorite place to get Pho in the Lansing area. The pho is usually filling on its own, but I can't help myself and get the begneits donuts for dessert too. Staff is always super friendly.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Kou M Yang: Great food and great staff! Will definitely visit again when I'm in the area.

Chris For Christ: Updating, but leaving my original impression:Called to order lunch, and the service was very different this time around, very short and unfriendly. Also, the prices on the menu have nearly doubled. The fish po boy which states $9 is now about $15. When I mentioned it the staff member chuckled and said "I wouldn't go by that". I get price increases but that's obscene. Gonna find a different lunch spot now.Loved it. I never would have dreamed there'd be a Vietnamese/New Orleans fusion restaurant in Michigan. Absolutely worth the visit.My ONLY complaint is that the chicken and noodle bowl was a little slight. Not a lot of chicken, and not heavy on flavor. But I'll certainly be going back soon.Vegetarian options: You'll find a good and varied vegetarian selection, at least with the Vietnamese dishesParking: It's in a strip with other businesses, so as long as there's no big events you'll be fine.Wheelchair accessibility: Other than the slight curb outside, I didn't see any steps into the restaurant.

Tabitha Evans: First time trying. The food was incredible and fresh. Service was quick and our waitress was amazing. We will be returning. If you have never tried before you will be left speechless from stuffing your face.

kenji steakster: Been here multiple times thinking my previous experience was a fluke, but alas.. this place is a miss. They never ever have the bourbon dip, just take it off the menu at this point. Don't have the wings. Pork Bahn mi is legit atleast, but this is a very very small silver lining to the glaring issues in this restaurant. For example, the server who barely serves. She dropped off the food reaching over my empty water glass, and turned so fast I couldnt ask for a refill. Never asked how any of the food was. She just sits in the corner on her phone with the other staff. Had to flag her down to pay... Just be more attentive. I usually tip very well, but this server absolutely didn't care what so ever. I work hard for my money, not giving it to someone who doesn't work hard for theirs.

Megan Pham: I’m visiting from Los Angeles, and was happy to find this place! I’m Vietnamese and grew up eating my grandma’s pho. Got a bowl of pho here and it had full-bodied flavor and was authentic. Also had the gumbo which had a lot of flavor. Both were nicely sized portions.

Cindy Pham: Super unprofessional. Yrsa had no idea how to help me but called me back and forth 3x about my order being wrong the night prior. Ordered a pho nola and got the wrong order. She kept making excuses of why I got the wrong order (ran out of tendon but nobody told me at any point), the pho should have had brisket (basically I’m lying?), or that the manager was out of town, only trying to offer me 25% off my next order during the 3 phone calls. I just wanted what I paid for but I got to apparently spend more money to do that. Would not recommend. Staff needs to be properly trained for customer service instead of pushing blame or acting like there’s nothing they can do.

Kim H: The Pho is the best!

B Gz: Good food. Service went down hill a little.
