“Great food, inventive cocktails, and friendly, knowledgeable service. One of the very best restaurants in Detroit for over a decade.”
“We dined here for the first time this week and had an incredible experience. The ambience and quality of service really stood out to us. The build out of the space is also beautiful. The food was some of the best we’ve had in Detroit. We especially recommend the chips and side salsas, tlayuda, tetela, and enchiladas! We will definitely be returning.”

“This was the best cooking class my friends and I have ever taken. Erica made making pierogi seem easy and like something we could actually do at home. The class was well structured and easy to follow along with. We were given time to practice and learn while Erica was there to also ensure that everyone went home happy and with at least 2 dozen delicious pierogi! We are excited to hopefully take more classes here soon!”
“Absolutely delicious 🖤 Go now!!”
“I honestly don't know why it has taken me so long to write a review for Alpino because my husband and I love this place so much! It has become my restaurant of choice to celebrate my birthday for many reasons. I love that they keep the beautiful patio open even during the hottest of days (which is usually what it is for my July birthday), they have the best seasonal menu additions that use local ingredients, and their laid back yet elegant charm is exactly what we always look for. The food is amazing! We love unfussy food that lets the quality ingredients shine and the raclette with a touch of honey just makes me grin from ear to ear (not to mention the tomato soup that is out of this world). The Frulingzauber "spring magic" cocktail is my favorite of all time. I would drink one every day for the rest of my life if I could. Of course, none of this would matter if the people weren't wonderful at Alpino, but they are just as warm and inviting as the food. I loved that they all signed a birthday card for me when we were there last. This is definitely a gem of a place that you don't find everywhere.”
“One of my favorite spots in Detroit. I came here for a casual date night and the vibes was nice. Food is 10 out of 10 and the drinks were so good! I’ll definitely be back for more.”
“Wow. What an absolutely fantastic final dinner of 2023! After we managed to find a late dinner reservation for New Year's Eve, it was a relief to discover that our excitement about the tasting menu was well-placed. I would definitely recommend the drink pairings as well! The amuse-bouche featuring oysters from the West and East coasts was a delightful way to splash into the meal. The wasabi and the mangosteen featured in each of the oysters, respectively, complimented the beautiful brine of the oysters in such a wonderfully playful way. This first tasting urged us to pause the menu progression and order an extra dozen oysters to explore the other possibilities. Tasting from Vancouver to Prince Edward Island, they were beautifully prepared and of excellent quality. The first course of lobster salad felt like a summer in Maine. Not that I've ever been to Maine, but the imaginary scene flashed across my vision as I took that first refreshing bite. The grapefruit emulsion worked almost majestically with the light, refreshing flavor of the lobster salad. The tapioca chip was perfect for the crunch to fully bring the different elements of the dish together. A fascinating intersection of refreshment and comfort. The second course was the potato pavé. I'll be thinking of this potato often for the foreseeable future. It was one of those dishes that makes your eyes pop open a bit when you bite it as you realize how good it is. A beautifully layered and seared rectangle of flaky delicious potato resting with a lovely salsa brava speckled with trout roe, topped with tarragon, cured trout, and black truffle flakes. I don't even know what else to say. It was stunning. Sea urchin buttered ramen, the third course, will always be what I wish my at-home thrown-together ramen could be. It was rich, it was luscious, it was comforting. Growing up in southeast Texas, crawfish boils were always some of the most exciting times of the year. The crawfish tails in the ramen brought me back to those summer days eating crawfish with a cold beer. The duck breast for the fourth course was exceptionally cooked. It was juicy and flavorful and made a perfect bite with a bit of cauliflower, raisins, apricot, agrodolce, and foie-sauce. Each bite was such a symphony of flavor that kept me coming back. Last but absolutely not least was the gâteau ardéchois: the chestnut cream cake. Accompanied by cranberry coulis and crispy meringue bites, this dessert was a sweet but still mellow finish. While the coffee mascarpone ice cream was a robust and complementary flavor, we both agreed the vanilla coconut ice cream was the star between the two. Thank you again to the stellar crew at Mink! Happy New Year!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Having recently dined at Mad Nice, with an exceptional waitress Alaina, at an upscale Italian-inspired establishment nestled in Detroit’s vibrant Midtown at 4120 Second Ave, I find myself compelled to share an erudite reflection on what proved to be a most memorable culinary experience. This restaurant, a venture by Heirloom Hospitality Group, masterfully intertwines the rustic charm of Italian tradition with a modern, coastal California sensibility—an ambitious fusion that, on this occasion, delivered a resounding success. What truly distinguishes Mad Nice, however, is its outstanding customer service—a rarity in an era where such attention can sometimes wane. The staff, from the warm hosts to the attentive servers, exuded a genuine passion for their craft. Our waitress, Alaina, was nothing short of exceptional—her humor and knowledge enriched the evening, as she anticipated our needs with an almost preternatural finesse, ensuring that water glasses remained filled and recommendations flowed freely. My sister Alaina’s evident pride in her work elevated the meal from excellent to extraordinary, making her a standout memory of the night. In sum, Mad Nice is a culinary gem that not only meets but exceeds the lofty expectations set by its stylish veneer. The food is delicious, the choices abundant, the drinks sublime, and the service—thanks in no small part to Alaina—unparalleled. I wholeheartedly recommend it to locals and travelers alike, and I, for one, shall make it a ritual to return whenever my journeys bring me back to this dynamic city. Mad Nice is not merely a restaurant; it is a destination, a delightful paradox of “mad” ambition and “nice” execution that lingers long after the last bite.”

“The waitstaff was super helpful, answered all our questions, and explained the dishes. The drinks were beautiful, and the pork and chicken used in the Yakitori turned out sooo succulent. They had a great variety of options: Yakitori, Ramen, rice bowls, and salads. We even had some specialty seafood--sea urchin--that you can't find commonly elsewhere.”
“everything was very good, we sat at the bar and McKenzie took really good care of us, a must try spot!”

“Every time is the best time at Parlay Detroit! This isn't just a sports bar - the food and service is fine-dining, but with a live-DJ and incredible atmosphere. They also have a downstairs speakeasy and soon a cigar lounge. Detroit has needed a place like this for far too long.”
“I can't possibly say enough good things about Chef Omar, and his restaurant! Not only is the food amazing - incredibly imaginative, then executed flawlessly - the people are warm and inviting. I can't believe it took us this long to find one of the best dining experiences we've had in Detroit. I hope you will find it much sooner. Like . . . go now. You'll thank me!”
“Great night out. The food was terrific especially the salmon kabob and the white bean and arugula.
Excellent wine selection and the sommelier made the perfect recommendation for us.
For an open space restaurant it was well suited for a “quiet” meal and easy conversations.
The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and well timed attentive.”
“Our first visit to Mootz. Clean and welcoming, the staff were very friendly. We had a small salad and a large pizza to share. They were both delicious and portions were quite large we ended up taking some pizza home. Definitely would recommend this restaurant for very good, reasonably priced food and cocktails.”
“Overall, was a good experience. Got off to a rocky start — I wore a knitted sweater with dress pants. The sweater had a hood on it, and was against the restaurants dress code policy. My mistake, for sure, but they did let us eat in the back bar at the restaurant anyway (not allowed in main dining area). Back bar area was still great. All food was excellent. Service was great. They did automatically apply gratuity without any warning, which was odd for a party of two. Would have appreciated if they had let me know that when beforehand or when delivering the bill. I would return here for a nice night out (wearing proper attire in the future).”
“My cousin wed their beautiful bride last night and their original post wedding brunch location fell through at the last minute. Groups of us came through right as Supergeil opened. Now let me tell you, they moved mountains to host our celebration. The food was incredible and the warm hummus was some of the best I’ve ever had. Thank you thank you thank you for today! Cheers 🍸 10/10 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We were craving some greasy street style food so we thought to give this Halal Coney Island a shot. First of all, the food was beyond our expectations. I got a turkey burger and naga dog and my husband got a chicken tikka over rice. 10/10 for EACH DISH. This is now my go to spot now for Detroit. The menu has everything from nachos to breakfast. The staff is very friendly and know their menu well. The restaurant is very clean and you can tell they take pride in their business.
Definitely a hidden gem.”
“Amazing food! So great, no matter what i write here could surmount to the generations old technique applied here. Simple. Nothing over the top. No gimmicks, AT ALL. A surprising lack of gimmicks, is very inviting, along with the prices! Which if you’re one your way home from a night on the town, and seeing those stadium prices. Its like a step back in time. When everything was simpler and made more sense. God bless Telway!”
“After reading several reviews, it left me hesitant about going to Iridescene, however I'm glad that I did not let that deter me. Everything we ordered, from the wine and dine menu was delicious. The chicken breast was tender enough to cut with a fork. And the mashed potatoes were very tasty and well seasoned. I would recommend this place.”
“Chill cool vibes. Always quick and easy only once they told me no when they were still open but it was like close to close so that's my fault. Real quick service and tasty especially between classes or when I wanna step out for a bit. They're in a gas station so lots of sblnack and drink ”
“My sister and I made reservations for Friday evening. We had an amazing time! Brittany was our server and she was absolutely the best! She had plenty of recommendations for us and helped us choose our drinks with ease. We ordered the shrimp cocktail, salmon deviled eggs, and chicken wraps. We both agreed the deviled eggs were the best thing. We had a perfect spot in the corner on the terrace where we could look down and see the Circle. The only issue with that was the view.. multiple people came over To stand to look or take pictures which was sort of awkward. There was a dj and the atmosphere both outside and in was spectacular . You will spend a pretty penny but I would definitely recommend checking them out.”
“First the chicken pita add bacon is amazing! The woman working the counter tonight was very sweet and lovable lol. But yall need to add a tip option for the ones paying with card or add an atm inside!! I had no cash and had to tip in literal quarters thats not cool.”
“It's my favorite coney for early breakfast on my way to work and super late eating from time to time. The morning staff is very friendly and attentive. Always respectful and deserving of a tip! The food is always fresh and good. Well plated... never sloppy or carelessly bagged! Prices area as average as possible.”
“I recently stopped in for a couple of loose burgers. The order was filled quickly. And the food was terrific! The ground beef was seasoned very well, and the chili was perfect. One of the first things I noticed about Detroit after moving here from California is that Coney Island restaurants are everywhere. I get it now, and I will come back to Olympia Coney Island for more loose burgers. Highly recommended!”
“The one cashier Sharita(Hope I spelled it correctly) she works at night has some of the best customer service I have had in years…And I know I’m a horrible customer…Because I’m picky when I order..She not once complained or even had an attitude when I was requesting certain items..I would just like to say THANK YOU TO HER AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK”
“The food was delicious. We had calamari, I tried halibut for the first time. Amazing! And my fiancee had the burger. Also great. Hunter, our server, was fantastic. We will absolutely be back!”

“This place is awesome. The service is incredible. But the food was even better! The interior of it takes you back to a simpler time. Family owned and operated. The server was the sister of the cook. The coney dogs didn’t stand a chance. Fries were so crunchy and delicious. While there, the folks sitting to the left of me ordered breakfast. I’m definitely coming back just based off of how good their hash browns looked. 10/10. Definitely coming back!”
“The pizza is AMAZING! I think I can easily say this is the best Detroit style pizza I have ever had. I first discovered them at pop up they had near Campus Martius, but finally got to go to their new home on Holden. The interior is pretty small, so not best for big groups but a date night or for a party of two is just fine. I wish it was closer to me so I could get take out. We got the Packard Pepperoni and the Mclovin pizza. Both were excellent, I loved the origniality of the Mclovin which was a nod to like a big mac. Anytime I can go again, I definitely will be. Check out this gem if you want to really know what Detroit style pizza is like.”
“Tonight I attended a wedding at C & G and could not be more impressed, and also pissed at myself for not patronizing this welcoming restaurant sooner. I’m lactose intolerant and allergic to chicken. The staff was incredibly accommodating and gracious. This is not often a feeling I receive when bringing up food allergies. The food & drinks were so incredibly tasty and the views were unreal. The Train station, spires of St Anne’s and the Ambassador Bridge all in one shot. Turn to the left and you have the beautifully landscaped Roosevelt park to stroll through after enjoying the back porch. I’m so blown away, and so happy my friend finally got me here! Thank you for a dreamy night.”
“My husband surprised me for my birthday and got me an assortment of pastries that I love.
I’m always impressed by the attention to detail in each of Canelles decadent treats. From their beautiful presentation, all the way to balancing out different textures and flavor profiles, this is my favorite place to get treats for special occasions!”
“Celebrated my wife's 33rd birthday dinner here. Atmosphere is amazing food was also amazing. You can't find a dinner spot with better views in Detroit as the sun is setting.”
“I can't possibly say enough good things about Chef Omar, and his restaurant! Not only is the food amazing - incredibly imaginative, then executed flawlessly - the people are warm and inviting.

“Brought my Pregnant wife here after she was craving something fresh and I rolled the dice by coming here!! SHE LOVED IT and so did the Baby 😊 the salad was fresh and the citrus chicken wrap was light and tasty. We finished with a little sweet snack the banana strawberry Nutella toast! Amazing!!
Manager and staff were super friendly and helpful explaining everything to us!! We'll be back for sure!!”
“I just spent a week drinking through some of the best cocktail bars in Tel Aviv and was reminded how none of them come even close to the amazing cocktails that the Kevin, Kyle, and the rest of the Castalia team come up with! Each visit to Castalia, be it your first or one thousandth, is magical and wonderful!”
“New menu was amazing. We had the potatoes, the scallops, burrata, and mushroom with shiitake dish. Burrata was hands down my favorite, thing. Perfect combination!! Highly recommend everything I got and the service was perfect, I mean like I finished my water and by the time my glass hit the table it was refilled. This was actually my second time, I’ve been before for a friends birthday and we had a different menu…..the pomegranate ribs were mouthwatering delicious. Not to mention the atmosphere inside, I personally love plants and that’s the first thing you notice when you walk in the door. Check it out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed!!”
“We tried the Detroit Pepper Company tonight, first time! We went with the Detroit Stuffed Pepper, beef with parmesan cheese. Very good taste, and huge. We also ordered the Vegan Stuffed Pepper, but we will have to try it tomorrow for lunch...too full from the Detroit Stuffed Pepper! We also tried the lentil bean soup, very nice. And my wife enjoyed the Mango Tastic smoothie:-) We're happy to learn about the Detroit Pepper Company, and we'll be back. Highly recommended. A very clean take-out only place, with good food and a very friendly staff.”
“I’ve passed this place several times and finally had a chance to try it today. Some of the best chicken wings I’ve ever had in my life. Cooked fresh to order and they did not disappoint! Very nice people , very talkative and helpful. Well worth the less than 10 min wait. I will be back soon for sure. I am a fried chicken lover and they are easily top 3 I’ve had. Thank you”
“My friend and I had lunch at Coriander Kitchen and Farm yesterday 6/23. We came back because we enjoyed our first visit last year so much! However, at this visit the food was not so good. I ordered fish and chips and my fish was overcooked and the french fries were not hot. My friend ordered smelt which were awful and greasy which we sent back. We asked for lemon which never came to the table and our waiter seem to be the only one there and they were busy so I don't think we got the attention that we were due. I know this establishment can do better, so I will be going back. But yesterday's service and food were awful.”

“I can’t say enough about our dining experience! This restaurant is on my TOP list here in Nashville and I will now frequent. Everything from start to finish was superb! Our waiter Sid was nothing g more than AMAZING and the manager was very nice and came by to say hello! The FOOOOOD was SO good it’s definitely worth it!!”

Cheap Eats
“We visited Sicily’s today and it was delicious! I was impressed by the sour dough. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. A man walked around checking on us so I told him I saw a review of the restaurant and had to bring my husband for his birthday. A little later he called my son over to the register where he gave him some cookies for the birthday boy. He also showed us his started sour dough which was 8 years old. So cool! The pizza, bread, Greek salad, and meatballs were great!”
“The food here was amazing and the service was extremely attentive and welcoming. I cannot recommend this place enough today was my first time here and I will absolutely be back. Everything was so flavorful and cooked to perfection! Especially the meat dishes we had.”
“Run, don’t walk to Mitsos! Not only is the food to die for, the Greek iced coffee will be your new addiction. But here’s the best part…the family. Walk in once and Irene I’ll know your name and remember it. Quality food. Quality people. Thank you for always making Noah and I feel special❤️❤️”
“Oh MAN Rocco's is the place I have searched for in vain until last year when I tried them for the first time. Since that first meatball sub I have had almost every sandwich on the menu and so far not one has disappointed! Today I had the Corner Deli and was transported to Italian paradiso! In case you non-Italians did not know, ciabatta is the Italian baguette and Rocco's bakes many fresh loaves several times per day! Usually it is still warm from the oven even if you get a cold sandwich! There is no better sandwich bread in my progenic-Italian opinion! They are in Midtown on Cass just East of Mack. Try them if you have yet to do so. You will thank the gods!”
“Wonderful place to go for a special occasion. The entertainment is always top notch. The food was absolutely delicious and the entire staff at the top of their game!”
“Best restaurant in Detroit Metro airport sit at the bar for first class service!”
“Amazing food and great presentation overall! 10/10 recommend getting a sushi boat with larger parties. Every roll on that menu is delicious 😌”

“What a wonderful team, food, beer, cider! We are just so lucky to have had our daughters after wedding party here at Batch. Kimberly was a pleasure to work with during the planning and day of the event.
Stephen came to meet us and was essential in making sure we had “Polish, double smoked kielbasa “ for the event. It should be on the menu full time! Everything was delicious and fresh.
The Alabama white pulled chicken, pulled pork, pretzels, smoked meats charcuterie board, fresh fruit, double smoked Kielbasa ( so darn delicious) and the Kale Cesar salad.. all finished off by our Family and guests. Everyone loved the beer selection, the food and the vibe at Batch!
We have always been supporters of Batch Brewery, now we feel like they are part of the Family.
As always with Batch Brewery, just a wonderful , delicious experience! Thank you all for that.”
“We came to Detriot to see the NCAA D1 National wrestling tournament. We stopped in and had a great time. The beer, food, and environment were wonderful and we give them 5 stars. Look forward to coming back. Mechanicsburg PA folks”
“Bday dinner party, I had the fried chicken, greens, amd mac/cheese.”
“The mushroom dumplings and roasted bone marrow were a spectacular story of flavor with every bite. Micheal the server was fun and had a cool shirt. The place itself is lovely and well thought out from the sustainable menu to the design - we’ll be back!”
“I wanted my family and I to try a new & special place to celebrate my mom’s birthday, and this place was amazing. Beautifully plated, ultra-delicious, special flare, authentic food. Kind & friendly staff. Cool atmosphere, family friendly. Easy parking. Proud that this place represents our Mexican heritage. No gimmicks, everything about this place made me feel like I actually was in a modern day restaurant in Mexico.”
“went for my sons birthday and had a wonderful dinner. From the staff to the drinks and the food everything was great.”
“We came to The Whitney for an early birthday dinner for my husband. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience there! The staff went above and beyond my expectations. The food was amazing and cost was much less than I would have expected for the caliber and presentation of our meals and dessert. For all of you paranormal afficionados, their Ghost Bar is a must. The owners of The Whitney have done so much to preserve this amazing estate in Detroit without any funding assistance from the government or grants. Please consider supporting them by being a patron the next time you are in Detroit.”
“Everything and everyone was amazing, can’t wait to go back again”
“We’ll be back. Everything was delicious. Great food and service.”
“Excellent service, delicious food and it all happened under the red lighting. Be prepared to park on the street as the parking lot only has 6 or 7 parking spot.”
“We received Excellent Customer Service from our hostess Jasmine, who was awesome! The food was delicious and I loved the decor.”
“Top-notch beers, friendly staff and incredible pizza. The outdoor patio is great for our dog!”
“Great service. Great food. We had the sausage/cheese platter, and their pretzels. Pretty tolerant of two Kentucky boys who hit the beer pretty hard the two nights we dropped in. The place had a good crowd both nights. Nice little pub. If I'm ever up that way again, it'll be one of my first stops.”
“An absolute gem in Southwest Detroit! Went tonight with a party of six for my nephews birthday. Everyone raved about their meals. Hearty portions and reasonable prices! The service was 5⭐️.”
“Over a 10/10 experience! Came here after graduating college with 4 of my family members. Chris was a great server and gave GREAT recommendations for a family styled dinner. The shrimp tempura rolls were AMAZING, highly recommend the chips and dip as well as the chicken schnitzel!!
I will definitely be back!”
“The food and service was excellent!!! The stuffed salmon is a must!! The bartender customer service was impeccable.”
“Such a great vibe! We did a casual wedding welcome party here and can’t say enough good things about how wonderful this space is, how kind and accommodating the team was, and much everybody really enjoyed the beer (and wine)! This is a fantastic and classic Detroit spot and now one of our favorite breweries around!”
“Shout out Chelsea from Texas! Super speedy, straight to the point, and just straight-up awesome. She kept things flowing without ever making us feel rushed. Her no-nonsense, friendly vibe made the whole experience better. Attentive, efficient, and full of personality—exactly the kind of service that stands out. Big shoutout to Chelsea at Grand Trunk! We’ll definitely be back.”
“It was my first time here and it won't be my last the vibe was everything! We order food made with love and when I tell you need to return for the tikka mascara chicken w/naan bread and boy oh boy spicy 🌶 🔥 and delicious 😋”
“Best place in Detroit and metropolitan area. A true dining experience. Not to be be missed.”
“It was our first time in this place and Ibrahim made our experience so great!! He guided us on the menu and had amazing mixology skills. Will be coming back!”
“I like to thank the staff at Andiamo especially Thelma who was our server.. Also, thank you Mike for stopping by to see if everything was good. Im glad that we had chosen that location to celebrate Rosalyn birthday”
“I visited this past Valentine’s Day weekend and visited again this past Saturday night. I didn’t have a reservation but still got seated very quickly. It was a hot, muggy night and the hostess said she had a seat on the patio which I was fine with. I had a magnificent server, Florence, who was kind, thoughtful to recommend a drink to the person I was with and even when our drinks were brought out within a short time, apologized for the delay (which wasn’t necessary). I wish I could give a review on the party next to us because they were extremely rude, not only not giving consideration to others being on the patio but were also incredibly rude to Florence. One woman in particular was grandstanding in front of this group and demanded to speak to a manager. Florence and the Manager were both composed and dignified in spite of a rude patron that was looking to get her bill comped (for a party of nearly a dozen people) going so far as to threatening to have everyone at her table write a terrible review. I have worked in the service industry and so have so many people I know and love so this situation had me worked up and I felt it necessary to write a review that our experience was magnificent. Don’t be an a-hole to servers of any kind just because you’re an a-hole yourself. If you give respect, you get respect. Go to The Sugar House. Be a good customer.”
“From the moment we arrived, our experience was nothing short of amazing. The food was outstanding—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was warm, friendly, and fun, making it the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable and welcome. On top of that, the location is fantastic, with plenty of activities nearby to enjoy before or after your meal, which really added to the overall experience. The highlight of our visit, however, was our waitress, Ashley W. She went above and beyond in every way. Ashley anticipated our every need before we even had to ask, showing an attentiveness that is rare to find. She was friendly, personable, and very knowledgeable about the menu, which made ordering so much easier and more enjoyable. Her positive energy and genuine care turned what was already a great dining experience into something truly memorable. Ashley is, without a doubt, the main reason my family and I plan to return. Her service left such a lasting impression on us that we would gladly make the trip back to Michigan just to eat here again. It is rare to come across someone who takes so much pride in their work and makes every guest feel special, but Ashley did exactly that. She is an absolute asset to this restaurant, and we cannot thank her enough for making our visit exceptional.”
“We had a great dinner date at Hamiltons after a reservation was cancelled on us, it was our first time and we will be back!”
“Just enjoyed a delicious dinner before our show at The Fox. Relaxing atmosphere, great waitstaff, great food.”
“This place was amazing! The cocktails and ambiance was so cool!”
“I highly recommend!!!!! We have visited a few times and never regret it. A small, welcoming space with big personality and delicious food and drinks (the espresso martini is my fave). I come for the vegan options so I don’t have to worry about my food allergies, but my family has enjoyed the non-vegan options as well. The environment is fun; Que is always wonderful to talk with and has so much to be proud of in what she has created here…and if you didn’t know - THEY ALSO CATER…and do cooking classes!!! Que’s daughter Kaitlin is great and I enjoy talking with her as well. We’ve been in for live dj and a loud,fun, diverse group of people. I love what Que’s got cooking here and she’s got a faithful customer for life! Happy to support her with my dollars and my words of encouragement and recommendations to others!”
“Always excellent food and staff is on top of it and very friendly. We love this place!”
“We walked in to the Buhl Bar and where greeted by George and Aish they where both so friendly and so full of information. We provided our preferences in taste and allowed George to select and make our cocktails. He nailed our tastes and delivered the best cocktails we have had. This place has such a great art deco vide the service was second to none and the drinks amazing. Thank you George and Aish it was a pleasure to have meet you both.”
“It was quiet when we went on Friday evening, but everyone was nice. They were sadly out of the one food we really wanted to try, but The Goat cocktail made up for it. I'm always happy to try something a little more unique that ends up tasting just as good and better than widely-loved classics. I'd definitely go back to have it again.”
“Went in for the first time. The employees were very sweet and friendly and the place itself was refreshing. Will be back again. The CLT was amazing and a life changing experience and the grape lemon juice 😋😋😋 also don’t forget to try their desserts.”
“Staff, wine, vibe, and food were all top notch, chefs kiss.
This place is the best of wine tasting.
Knowledgeable but not snobby, great options, without being overwhelming. Relaxed. Good wine, and good vibes.
I'll be back here every time I come to the D for date night.
Keep up the good work y'all. My wife and I have a great time.”
“Super authentic, everything is made fresh and with expertise! We booked for our large group - Michigan Hypnosis Conference and they catered to our needs on multiple days with grace!”
“Our server Mac and the manager Hunter were incredible! They were so kind, fast service, made sure we were taken care of the entire time. The food and drinks were fantastic and kitchen staff was super quick. Highly recommend The Eagle OTR!”

“Sunday Funday 🎉
I was just introduced to WP this summer 2025. The fish and chip 🥰 and others items I’ve nibbled from my friend’s plate were yummy. The Sunday live music 🙌🏽. Drinks are also perfect. Three visits already- in 2 months.”

“Had a great time last night at Brix. The customer service was phenomenal and the food was amazing . I had a strawberry tequila lemon drop and it was absolutely amazing !!! The ambiance and location are the best !!”
“Visiting town for the game and decided to stop by the Detroit beer company with a group of my friends. They were very accommodating for our big group. Our server was Sherry and I want to brag on her because her smile , attentiveness and personality blew us away. We let her decide our cocktails and food and we all left full , satisfied and definitely ready to visit again tomorrow. Stop by and check out this brewery”
“Truly an elegantly beautiful bar and building overall. My family and I had a wonderful time and are thoroughly looking forward to returning soon. An unforgettable experience.”
“Our server Emily was very attentive, warm and welcoming. She made us feel very comfortable. We highly recommend the rueben sandwich and THE STUFFED SQUASH! Hats off to the chef and Emily. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We will be back.”
“Wonderful experience. Walked in and there was no wait-- we were sat right away. Just as we sat down, our kids already had waters and crowns! The staff here is awesome. And then to top it off, food hits the spot. I had been looking forward to some ramen all day, and Johnny's did not disappoint. We ordered the Chicken Bao, Pork Gyoza, Tonkotsu, Shoyu. All were great choices and I definitely recommend.”
“What a great spot! The vibes and music were good. The service was excellent…shout out Rachel. I’ll definitely be back. Gotta come back with my girls to hit the bar specials lol.”
“Detroit soul is possibly the best meal from start to finish I've had in years. Walking in you notice how delicious everything smells, how clean everything is and how friendly everyone who works here is. The food is top notch. The breadding on the catfish fritters made my mouth water, the greens made me want to write home, the mac and cheese was perfectly cooked and the meatloaf was so tender and tasty. Then the dessert! Peach cobbler that made me make obscene noises, the creamy vanilla scoop and the amazing red pop sorbet were bursting with flavorful perfection. I highly recommend going here and trying everything.”
“If Katrell (Pineapple Daddy) wasn't here...I wouldn't make it a mandatory location. He makes sure my party is happy and that everything is everything. The food is excellent and the service is as well!”
“I went early, it was kind of slow. The bartender is a custom, craft drink maker, my old fashion was delicious! They are selling very tasty Jamaican food there. I like the outside seating.”
“General PAO chicken was packing the heat but tasty and just the right portion size and flavor. Drinks were forgot the names???but not the taste golden something with ginger liqueur and honey and more….. pomegranate something ( sorry forgot the names) well done but both on signature drink menu. Valet parking available music was good but a bit loud probably enjoyed by younger crowd we have kids all the ages of most we were around great people watching as is the busy city and a tiger game happening all on a Saturday night.
Oh back to the menu our selections not in the favorites or drop down? Photo shows my filet stir fry and I did not get photos of wedge salad w slicedcukes and carrots and sesame and basil very tasty and my hubbys gen PAO. I thoroughly enjoyed our meal date night DELISH fresh hot. Oh almost forgot the beef dumpling appetizer and we paired it with the lemon aioli that normally is served w calamari also a good pick. It was our first time trying so glad we did!!!!”

“The girl at the register is very nice and pleasant on the phone. The pizza was fantastic but the menu online needs to be updated. Every pizza on the list increased 35-45% in price which equates to $6-7 extra per pizza. The large cheese pizza is $19 not $13 the pepperoni is $22 not $15.”
“Been there two times now. Perfect neighborhood bar for folks in Brush Park. Food was very good and service was excellent. My wife and I are “Summer birds” . We reside in Arizona and reside in Brush Park when weather is good so it’s a perfect neighborhood place for a nightcap.”
“We had a rehearsal dinner for 40 people at Sheilds in Detroit and it was the best experience ever! The food was wonderful, the atmosphere was great and the staff were so awesome!!! When we got there everything was set up for us and they were very welcoming. The manager Jason was great, and had everything running smoothly. The wait staff…shout out to L & D we’re phenomenal! They were right there with refills, smiles, jokes and anything you needed. They made the experience so wonderful!!! I would recommend to anyone looking for a party venue, or just a dinner out to come eat here!! 5 stars!!!!!!”
“Originally from Michigan but now live in Florida. Went to Detroit for the weekend to attend Red Wings games. Looked for perch dinners and found Andrew’s. Absolutely awesome perch with a generous portion. Loved the atmosphere of the old time era. Staff exceptionally friendly as was the owner. Would definitely recommend this place and can’t wait to return. What I liked was the minimal breading so you have the true taste of perch. This is by far the place to go if you love perch.”
“We held a 50th birthday party for our daughter in the private room last Saturday evening. The service and the food was extraordinary. We had 50 attendees that included old and not so old. The banquet items were outstanding and the chef did a marvelous job of preparation and presentation. Passed appetizers were a hit with everyone. (I particularly liked the crab cakes) Sheila, Yen, Rex, and Kat provided the beverage service and passed the appetizers and drink orders with smiles and efficiency. While we didn't see much of the kitchen staff, Gil, Emeka, Chaona, and Aaron provided culinary treats that had all the attendees marveling at the variety and taste. And most helpful were Joanna and Paul, the proprietors. Thank you Common Pub for a most memorable evening and event!”
“My family and I decided to have our Christmas meal catered. I attended a bridal shower earlier in the year catered by Leroy’s and suggested to my family we try them for dinner. We ordered dressing, ham, mac & cheese, potato salad, and greens. They gave us an order of rolls. Everything was seasoned and flavorful. The mac & cheese was cheesy and delicious. The potato salad was some of the best I’ve had. The ham was juicy and tasty. You could taste the love in the dishes. The person that prepared our meal, enjoyed what they were doing and took pride in their creation. We’ll be back!”

“TSA and Delta agents are always so kind. We’ve had some pretty negative experiences with TSA being rude, impatient, and condescending for no reason at various airports, but never at DTW! Thank you for making the stress of traveling less stressful!”
“Everything about our visit was awful. from first being seated, to terrible service, to them not coming over to our table with different meats, to the meats that we did get being dry and over cooked, to other guests being rude to us. if you go never go to the Detroit location. 100% not worth your time or money.”
“I can’t say enough about our dining experience! This restaurant is on my TOP list here in Nashville and I will now frequent. Everything from start to finish was superb! Our waiter Sid was nothing g more than AMAZING and the manager was very nice and came by to say hello! The FOOOOOD was SO good it’s definitely worth it!!”
“Yesterday was my Birthday and also my first time at Savanna blue. I enjoyed the atmosphere. Bathrooms very nice and girly, beautiful and entitment vibe. Its located right next to the people mover. My waitress was very nice and pleasant. Its definitely cozy for date night and conversation.”
“The service and The food is great. You will not see the address from the front. You will see a green building, you will go around the corner and go in through the back. It is beautiful and amazingly breathtaking. Again, inside is fabulous. The food is, will make you come back again. ENJOY”
“I got the small spaghetti & meatballs as well as the spaghetti sandwich Eminem's way. Food was DELICIOUS!! Absolutely worth the price! The small came with 3 big meatballs & loaded with grated cheese. It really was ahige portion for a small. The sandwich was also soooooo good even as leftovers!!!! The bad.... I waited like 15+ mins in the rain to order. I walked inside half way through the wait to look for someone, never found anyone. Went back outside & waited with 4 more people & no one ever came so after 15+ mins, I went upstairs to the store & asked for help. The girl working found the cook (who also takes the orders) & just happened to be on lunch. I wouldn't have minded waiting if there would've been a little 30 min break sign up or something. Honestly it seemed like he either hated his job or he's definitely overworked & maybe the only employee besides the girl upstairs Even though customer service was not good, the food was amazing & I'll definitely eat there again next time I'm in town.”
“What a hidden Gem! SavannahBlue did not disappoint from the time I walked in the door. Staff greeted me and queried how I heard about their restaurant. Once seated I was greeted by Ranier my server who made suggestions, but did not push! Food was delicious, moist and NOT over seasoned. The fish was lightly coated and large filet was served. The greens, were delectable and included Turkey. Almost forgot the smoked wings with the Housemaid Bbq sauce. That sauce should be bottled and sold (Yummy). Highly recommend this hidden Gem in downtown Detroit! Finally, the ladies bathroom is decorated for you to capture, fun photo's and video to share on IG, Snap or other social media platforms. I will be back!”
“My sister and had dinner out the 1st time since the pandemic. The food was delivered very quickly and was very hot and so tasty. I was such a pleasure experience. She had Jumbo Fried Shrimp w/mixed veggies and roasted potatoes. I had Catfish Atchafalaya (fried) w/rice and roasted potatoes. The rolls were hot and delicious. The waitress, Braylen, was so very pleasant and smiled continuously. Her service was the cherry on top of a beautiful meal.”

“Fantastic coffee & we so appreciate that you’re nut free! My teenage daughter has severe peanut & tree nut allergies and it’s very rare to find a place where she can get “fancy” coffee without the risk of cross contamination from nut milks/etc. I also appreciate the owner’s quick and thorough response when I emailed with questions. Highly recommend!”
“Why must all these restaurants in Detroit have full service glasses to talk through? Is the city that darn bad? I’ve never seen this in any place before until I got here. Wow. Any case ordered the chicken pita sandwich. Besides feeling like a prisoner the sandwich is quite good.”
“this place is a one stop shop to cure my ails.

“A little hole in the wall spot located in a gas station but, the food is really good. I stopped in and got the steak burrito and it was cooked to perfection. The portion are really big so you get your money's worth. The burrito and ingredients tasted great. Definitely a great spot. I will be coming back.”

“Having recently dined at Mad Nice, with an exceptional waitress Alaina, at an upscale Italian-inspired establishment nestled in Detroit’s vibrant Midtown at 4120 Second Ave, I find myself compelled to share an erudite reflection on what proved to be a most memorable culinary experience. This restaurant, a venture by Heirloom Hospitality Group, masterfully intertwines the rustic charm of Italian tradition with a modern, coastal California sensibility—an ambitious fusion that, on this occasion, delivered a resounding success. What truly distinguishes Mad Nice, however, is its outstanding customer service—a rarity in an era where such attention can sometimes wane. The staff, from the warm hosts to the attentive servers, exuded a genuine passion for their craft. Our waitress, Alaina, was nothing short of exceptional—her humor and knowledge enriched the evening, as she anticipated our needs with an almost preternatural finesse, ensuring that water glasses remained filled and recommendations flowed freely. My sister Alaina’s evident pride in her work elevated the meal from excellent to extraordinary, making her a standout memory of the night. In sum, Mad Nice is a culinary gem that not only meets but exceeds the lofty expectations set by its stylish veneer. The food is delicious, the choices abundant, the drinks sublime, and the service—thanks in no small part to Alaina—unparalleled. I wholeheartedly recommend it to locals and travelers alike, and I, for one, shall make it a ritual to return whenever my journeys bring me back to this dynamic city. Mad Nice is not merely a restaurant; it is a destination, a delightful paradox of “mad” ambition and “nice” execution that lingers long after the last bite.”
