Tonight I had dinner at Twingo with some friends. It just re-opened and I highly recomment it. The food was delicious (although it was not really hot when they served it)...the appetizers were amazing- we all loved the mussels and the chicken confit. You can also bring your own wine. Overall great food...give it a try...you will enjoy it! | ||

Heck no...I never heard of it til now. I am always willing to try newe things however. I am training my wife to the wide array of restaurants that we have here in Detroit. She is fairly new to the area and seems like when we hit a place she likes...it ends up in heavy rotation with us. | ||

I ate there on Friday evening and had the best meal of food I have had in 12 months. They don't have a liquor license yet but you are allowed to bring in your own beer and wine for the time being. We brought in our own beer and they kept it in the refrigerator for us, very classy. It was my first time there and I must say this place deserves to do well. | ||

I really liked the decor of the old Twingo, I hope that didn't change too much. What kind of food do they serve, still French? In which case I sure hope that the quality has improved because the old Twingo's idea of French food was laughable. I went there several times in the past and was disappointed every time and eventually didn't want to go there at all anymore. I'll give the new Twingo a try though, what's on their menu? | ||

Bringing wine to a restaurant is great as long as the corkage fee isn't too steep. | ||

According to the Michigan Liquor Control Commission, no license = no liquor. Corkage fee? Well, read the following from the MLCC's "Q & A": Q. Can I bring my own bottle of wine to a restaurant and just be charged a "corkage fee" for serving? A. No. All alcohol served at an on-premises licensed establishment must be purchased from that establishment. If the establishment does not hold a license, MCL 436.1913 clearly states that those establishments may not allow consumption of alcohol on the premises. | ||

ild - I didn't make the rule. The beer and wine lobby (one of he most powerful in Lansing) gets the MLCC to do its bidding. If you don't like it, get a few million $$$ together and go talk with your representatives. | ||

I tested that recork law recently. The waiter jammed the cork back in the bottle as far as it would go then cut it off flush with the bottle so you can't reopen it in the car. That I had a corkscrew in my pocket didn't seem to matter. j/k | ||
Ilovedetroit Member Username: Ilovedetroit Post Number: 1955 Registered: 02-2005 Posted From: 63.149.5.130 |
Is that a corkscrew in your pocket or are you just glad to see me? |
