The service was outstanding so it was a mute point. They do charge an automatic 20% for parties of 6 or more even though open table said it was 8 or more. Affordable valet parking on the weekend otherwise limited street parking or paid lot parking. Low, high top and bar seating along with rooftop and patio seating (even though the rooftop was closed for some reason on a beautiful day). Service was also suburb keeping our water glasses full, drinks cold and our table clear of dishes. All the food was excellent and served in a reasonable time. The rest of my party enjoyed their dishes from shrimp and grits to the salmon. I enjoyed a dragons milk stout for my alcoholic beverage. I had the everything chicken wings for an appetizer along with a house salad. We were seated immediately at our scheduled time and also were fortunate enough to get a patio table on the back side of Lumen, opposite of beacon Park. You can only reserve up to 6 people on open table at this venue and patio and roof top seating are on a first come first serve basis even with reservations. My group of 6 dined here on a Friday with reservations before our Tour Detroit bicycle ride the next day. We sent them back and they were remade fairly prompt without complaint. Two of our five meals were pasta and both were delivered stone cold. In addition, there is a strict 2 hour time limit, automatic 20 gratuity, one check. We require a 30 per person deposit that goes towards the 300.00 food and beverage minimum no matter the party size. The food was not worth the prices we paid. You can make a reservation for a private igloo or chalet for 6 guests. Also, It was oddly quiet in the chalet, and I used my phone for background music, but it was less than desirable. We had a reservation in an outdoor "Chalet." The hut is glass, has a heating system, and is more comfortable than the more common plastic ones (although I still wore my winter coat throughout dinner and was chilled at times.) The Chalet did not have one bit of decoration - not even a centerpiece or candle on the table. The restaurant was less than helpful and the manager was barely interested in answering our questions, only repeatedly telling us that they had no legal responsibility to us. If you go, make sure to go around back to use their valet parking (it's not easily seen from the road.) We paid $15 to park in the only other lot and returned to the attendant being gone and our car window being busted out. I would definitely recommend and return.I won't return.
