The Mixing Board

I had a concert to go to and my friends had told me about the countless restaurants inside of the venue that we could go to before the show. We were able to get seats at this place and were treated quickly. The place was filling up and our food order was put in quickly. It took some time to get our appetizers and a bit longer for our meal, but we were able to make the show. We ordered the bacon wrapped dates and the House Tortillas and queso that was vegan and gluten free!My friend orders the Roast Chargrilled Steak and it was absolutely delicious. I ordered the char grilled burger and it was delicious.

We were at LCA for a Wings game so we wanted to sample one of the dining options at the arena. The menu at The Mixing Board looked like the best of the bunch and the line wasn't too bad, so we gave it a shot. We started with the Bacon Wrapped Dates, which were tasty. My wife and I split a salad and a flatbread. The pesto chicken flatbread was good but I was a little disappointed in the salad. I'm not a fan of salads being served as a chunk of a head of romaine - just rip it up like a normal salad! One daughter had the tacos and the other had the shrimp as an appetizer and they both seemed satisfied with their selections.Our server was nice, but we ended up missing the start of the game because they were slow to get us our food.

Jacqueline to the rescue again. She is the best server here! Our favorite restaurant bar in Little Caesar's. Excellent liquor (local favs too), beer, and wine selections. Several plant based options. We love the mushroom bolognese gnocchi. They also have a Mediterranean board for vegetarian peeps. The decor is thoughtful and pay pays homage to Detroit. Love, love, love this spot located inside Little Caesars.

We had a terrific time prior to our very first Reds Wings game at the Little Caesar's arena. Many of these eateries have both entry/exit from the street or inside the arena. Our server was very attentive and my French Dip was outstanding. Especially the gravy-like au jus. The best part was finding a table for six without wait. Harry's told us an hour and the pizza joint next door had a huge line and a handful of cop wannabees grunting and barking commands like this were the military. The atmosphere was far more conducive to the six of us chatting over dinner than the other sites. For the immediate future anyway, we'll be bringing the gang here! 12/23

This fun vibrant restaurant is my favorite Little Caesar's Arena place to eat prior to a concert or game. There are multiple items on the menu we want to try. On this trip, we had two types of the flatbread and they were both exceptional. We ordered a bottle of wine which was poured into a heavy duty wine craft with a snap on lid. We were told we could take it into the arena if we didn't finish. We ordered a second one to take with us. The service was friendly and excellent. If you are not aware, on game and concert days, The Mixing Board opens early and you get screened coming into the restaurant. You then can go into the area when it opens without a long line and another screening. We will be back to The Mixing Board for each Little Caesar's Arena event. I highly recommend this venue.

Pretty expensive and service is somewhat slow, so plan accordingly.We've stopped in here a few times before a Red Wings game. As you can imagine, it gets pretty busy. However, I feel that they should be a little more prepared to service customers in a timely manner, as people most likely have somewhere to be. Portion sizes are pretty small and it's pretty expensive.

Good food, but service needs improvement. We ordered an app to have it arrive 10 minutes after we received our food. Our drinks weren't full and they don't service iced tea - what!? The food options were solid, but the service really left a bad taste in our mouths. At least after we got to watch the pistons win to bring the mood back up - dramatic, I know! But come on....I think the food brought this up from 1/2 stars, but they need to get it together or we will eat away from Lca next time...

Get a drink somewhere else when you go to LCA. I got a bitchy bartender and only asked for 2 drinks. Complete buzzkill. Ruined the whole Red Wings game experience.

The location is very convenient, and that's why I'm giving 2 stars. The food was edible and over-priced. We were quickly seated, and everything from that point on was downhill. After finally placing our order, our 2 degrees above room temperature food was brought to the table by a sourpuss server. No one came to see if our food was satisfactory or if we needed anything else. We asked the server for a side of bbq sauce that took almost 15 minutes to bring back. We looked over to the kitchen where the sever was laughing and joking with the kitchen staff. Can you please scoop up some bbq sauce and continue your conversation after you do your job? The ambiance was just ok. However, I did appreciate being able to walk right across to our seats.

Really nice place to have food and drinks especially before a concert or even just a night out. Service was really good we sat at the bar and laughed with bartender. Well put together environment and clean.
