Been visiting this place off and on since it opened and the quality is pretty consistent. The atmosphere is nice for an intimate dinner or a larger group of friends. Whenever we bring someone in from out of town, we usually end up at the Redwood for it's great award winning beers brewed onsite. Redwood's brew beats out any other michigan brew restaurant I have been to, and we've been to several which try to pass off weak beers that look different but taste all alike. Try a beer sampler or a wine flight. The dessert martinis are excellent. Monthly they hold wine tasting and beer events. The food is gourmet, but not served in a frilly way. Meals can be quite large, a pasta dish can feed two and give you room for dessert. They love to bring around that sample tray of desserts, yum! Usually, they have a wild game meal or two on the specials menu and we have never had a dud meal. Summers are nice on the porch with a group of friends and if you stay late and aren't finished talking, you can move over to the cigar room which stays open later and many times has live entertainment.

It is a good 40 minutes away from where I live, but well worth the drive. The buffet is awesome and the menu changes daily. I like to check the day's menu online ahead of time to make sure there is something for each member of my family. The food is rich and has just the right amount of spice. The spicier dishes are not overly hot, but may be too much for persons who are picky or avoid spicy foods. You can order alcohol with your meal, but I recommend a mango lassi, mango juice or my favourite, the Thandai and a side glass of water. I always go in planning to only have a small plate and always end up having to try everything and become overly stuffed. I would hate to know how many calories were in each dish, very high I am sure. If your child is picky, there is a chicken nugget meal you can order them, but my son has been eating there since he was small and will always eat the bread with rice and tandori chicken if nothing else strikes his fancy.

Great place to take your kids for an adventure. You can order from your parked car and a waitress brings out your food and hooks the tray to your door. The rootbeer, served in the old heavy glass mugs, can be a little on the flat side and sometimes tastes a bit like diet, but when they get it right it is awesome. If you are afraid of spills in your car, you can also eat inside where the 50s memorabilia is fun to look at. Can be really busy in the summer, local car clubs meet out there weekly and parking can be impossible. It is the only A&W I know of that still has the red sauce that you could get back in the day on your hotdog. My son likes the Cheese curds while I am partial to the Rootbeer Floats. Be prepared to pay a bit more than at the more modern A&Ws.

Got to impress a date or your possible future inlaws? Think about the Speakeasy. The front room is cozy with just the right lighting to set the mood for a wonderful dinning experience. Definitely not a place to be found overly casual. The next room has more of a party or banquet sort of atmosphere with the last room being what turns into a nightclub in the evenings with outdoor Tiki lounge in the summer. The menu starts in the moderate range and has a full bar. The Sunday Brunch is lovely with fresh made crepes, waffles and omelets to order and Mimosas included. Don't you dare order just orange juice, they charge extra for that...just get snockered I say. Go in just at opening or later to avoid the dinner rush, it can get pretty busy. Make reservations for the brunch well ahead of time for Mother's Day and show up on time, they book it to capacity and will give your seat away if you aren't prompt. Lunch menu has more sandwich fare on it and salads are a fairly good size.

I used this game to speed up my touch typing skills. A fun way to take the boredom out of learning to type and type faster. Very useful if you are prepping for a new job that requires typing or just need to be faster so you can knock out those memos or papers and get on to other things.

This is one of my most favourite games to play on the net. It is a wonderful challenge to pit yourself against and I learn new words all the time. It is also reminds me that not all in front of me is clearly visible. I just hate it though when I hear that ticking clock and I can't figure out the longest word, I can't help but cringe.
