Aletitude Ale House — Restaurant in Cascade Charter Township

Ordered the espresso martini - tasted a bit artificial.

Michigan cherry salad for dinner would have been tasty as is - I made the mistake of adding chicken to it (needed some protein to get through the flight). This was the blandest and driest chicken I’ve experienced in a long time (see photo).

When I asked what the blend is she had to go and retrieve the bottle to check - which she clearly did not read as she was holding it up to me to read the back and it never mentioned the grape varietals. Of course I told her that didn’t answer the question since they weren’t listed and she just looked at me like a deer in headlights.

Of course you couldn't because you ruined it interrupted me. I needs to go somewhere else. Maybe McDonald's to work. Certainly not as a manager. This was on...

We enjoyed our time and food at Aletitude. It wasn’t incredibly busy, so service was pretty quick and the food came out fresh. Having visited over the first couple days of being open, there wasn’t yet alcohol. Located in the center of the concourse, it was a fantastic spot for people watching, and gave you the perfect chance to look over the new airport expansion.

The food was hot and fresh, although lacked some of the unique qualities of your standard restaurant. While it wasn’t outrageous, it was somewhat expensive. Nothing to get overly excited about but worthy of a stop if you’re...
