New American Restaurants near Ecorse, MI

“I've only been to the Light House a couple of times. Each time, it has been okay. The place seems a little rough around the edges but the place does have a cool theme. They may have remodeled within the past few years or so.Keep in mind, the place is cigarette friendly and there is no food. The bathrooms are a little rundown as well. Despite that, there is a nice picture of all of the light houses on Erie located in the restroom.There is a room to right with a couple of pool tables. I've heard that the pool tables aren't that nice but I know since I didn't actually play.Overall, I was somewhat impressed with this bar. Nothing fancy but not a rundown hole in the wall like some may conclude based on where it's located.“

“Cannot go to bed tonight without writing this review first. Sat at the bar and service was impeccable. Bartender/waitstaff really knew the menu well. Ordered the trout, beet salad, and gnocchi all of which were flavorful and texturally perfect. For dessert, ordered the upside down carrot cake and pavlova. Ate every last bite even though we were already full. We will be coming back and bringing friends!“

“I can't remember my waiter but he was fantastic! I met Gordon (GM) who I told I had been there 3 times in the last handful of weeks and he showed us a lovely time. Eventually he introduced me to Jim Lutfy who let our party of 7 sample 4 desserts. Once again the pork chop and grits were amazing.“

“Exceptional, one of my favorite places in the world.Already on the outside there is a 'wow effect'...but what about the inside?This place not only immerses us in a sumptuous era but also brings a special atmosphere.The service is exceptional.The prices are absolutely fair, and it's great.“

“We came here for our anniversary and had a good experience. I loved the staycation cocktail, the calamari and the the sea scallops were the best I’ve ever had. Sadly the lamb appetizer was over cooked and the prime rib was chewy. Not great. It was also served with burnt hummus. Our waitress was good to me but seemed irritated with us that the steak wasn’t great. We won’t be rushing back any time soon. But we love Detroit and trying new restaurants.“

“Friendly staff. Good selection of tasty sliders, each sold separately so you can try a variety. Average 4 sliders per adult. Fries were fabulous. As you're eating you'll find that you will add a couple more sliders to your tab before you ask to cash out. Beer was cold. Back patio with a bar in case there's a wait. Weekends are very busy, but worth the slider experience.“

“My husband and I had dinner here tonight, and we were both absolutely blown away. Every course was incredible. The presentation was beautiful. Staff was attentive, helpful, and very friendly. This was an incredible elevated dining experience that will be remembered for a long time.“

“Oh.M.Gee....this place is amazing!! Really loved my dinner last night!! What did we have? BREAD & BUTTER 8 house sourdough, seasonal butter We started with the bread and butter. Their homemade sourdough bread was filled with all kinds of yummy grains and rivaled anything I had in Europe. It was served with cherry-jam butter, which was ok in my mind--I would have been perfectly happy with salted butter. TWICE COOKED EGG* 14 werp farms' greens, brussels sprout, salty cheese, warm shallot vinaigrette The egg atop this salad was really interesting...they took a poached egg and dipped it and fried it. The Brussels sprouts in this salad were super flavorful. I really enjoyed it. The rest of what we had was not on the website for me to grab descriptions and cost. We also had mushroom spring rolls, which were so flavorful! The tiny mushrooms in the spring rolls (not fried, my favorite kind!) were accompanied by many other fresh vegetables and had a delicious dipping sauce. We also had some broccolini and the pork chop. That pork chop was also super flavorful accompanied by collard greens, grits and cornbread. All of this food was so filling I had to take most of the pork chop dish home for today. The service was outstanding. My water glass never went below the halfway mark, and we never had need to pour wine from the bottle because Megan, our waitress, was ON IT!! While the interior of this place is loud, I didn't find myself shouting to be heard. The whole place is painted chartreuse, just like the name. We wrapped all of this up with 2 tastes of chartreuse...the green one was more herbaceous, leaning toward savory, and the yellow chartreuse was sweet. I liked the yellow best and my boyfriend preferred the green. I will highly recommend and plan to come back sometime. Yum-o!! Overall, I'd highly recommend“

“We had a great dinner experience. The many other reviews recommending the soft pretzel w/ beer cheese sauce are right on; it is one of the best pretzels ever. The burger with fries, and chicken wrap were good as well. The service was very friendly and speedy. We will definitely revisit!“

“My husband and I have dinner at Lumen at least every 4 to 5 weeks. Love the manager Rose and her staff Claire and Riley, to name a few. If we have a different wait staff taking care of us, these wonderful ladies will come over to our table to say hi.“

“Last time I went, i was seated upstairs by the window and it was COLD!!!!. This time, I insisted on first floor. I recommend the same for everyone because first floor has so much better atmosphere than the upper floors. I am paying big hunk of what I pay for atmosphere. Brunch food was.... OK. I mean nothing screamed out UNTIL i got to the prime rib. It was one of the better prime ribs I ever had. 5 star plus for PR and 3 for the rest of the food, therefore 4 stars for food.With that said, I was satisfied and would return again. The food is only a part of overall dining experience. We have plenty of cookie cutter or ever worse chain restaurants. Therefore, I think it is important to patronize gem of restaurants like this.“

“This place was great. Probably the best meal I've had in a long time-service and food quality wise. Came to celebrate a birthday during a weeknight. Not too busy. A nice modern ambiance that still has some old styles to it including artwork. Open kitchen concept where you can see the prep work for your meal. Our table had the prime rib burgers and steak and frites. The burger was one of the best tasting burgers I have had in a long time and the steak was so tender!! Service was great, and although Olin has pricier items the portion sizes you get match the value. I would highly recommend this spot for date nights, double dates, post work drinks, and smaller celebrations!“

“Great visit on a recent trip. My wife and I visited three other local breweries and really enjoyed our stop here. The beer was very good! The fried calamari and grits was incredible! Our bartender was very friendly and inviting. Enjoyed our conversation during our stay. Will definitely come back again.“

“I love dining at The Great Commoner. I'm always thinking about my next visit and what to try next. Ahmad the waiter from our most recent visit made the experience even more special. If there was an Olympics for waiters he would be the Usain Bolt. He went above and beyond to make sure my company and myself were comfortable and set with our orders. He has that old school sincere hospitality with a modern and fun teist.“

“Aptly named, Standby is still the best restaurant + cocktail bar in Detroit. Whenever I'm downtown, I'm hard pressed to choose to go elsewhere because I just honestly would prefer to be here. The cocktails are consistently spectacular, and the rotating food menu is always enticing and delicious. I also consistently receive exceptional service. Top this off with an immaculate vibe, and you've got the makings of, well, a standby. I've come with family to celebrate birthdays, with friends to toast to a promotion, with my husband for an intimate date night, and solo when I just wanted to treat myself. Because of the seasonal menu rotations, there is always something new and interesting to sip or bite. A constant cocktail on the menu that I highly recommend is called the Snake in the Grass. But the best cocktail I had here was called the Black Beretta and was made with clementine sherbet and black sesame - outstanding! I also love that they have a rotating "break-even bottle" - where you can get a taste of typically pricey pours of whiskey, tequila, etc. for just as much money as it costs for them to break even on the bottle.“

“Great food, friendly staff and the perfect place to see a show! Very intimate setting and we love the history as well!Service would have been a 5 but we got the one server that seemed to go not want to be there and go MIA often. The bartender and hostess plus all other servers were 5 stars!“

“Sensational. Exceptional food, drinks, service and vibe. Had the Fried Oysters, Octopus Carpaccio, Burger and Scallops. Everything perfect and on point. The Nduja sauce for the seared Scallops was unreal. Highly recommend, and the proximity to Little Caesar's arena makes it a perfect landing spot before an event. Will return!“

“First time here, my son and I stopped in had a great meal, food was excellent service was great! We really enjoyed ourselves our server Brendi (not sure of spelling Lol) was attentive and professional, will most certainly return and tell others!“

“Tyler is a stellar bartender, extremely knowledgeable, and friendly. The food was an absolute delight. The soft shell crab tacos are a great way to start your dining experience, don't forget a flight of their in house crafted beer or guest tap ciders. Perfect dinner date atmosphere. This is a Detroit must try!“

“Cute little relaxed environment; busy but people eat and leave. Staff was amazing and very knowledgeable of menu; avo toast was just ok, the bread was tough; the chicken was phenomenal! The baecation drink I really enjoyed(see menu for ingredients)“

“During our short wait for a table, we sat at the bar for a drink. Our bartender Tim was amazing!! Great drinks, excellent customer service and a pleasure to deal with. Once seated, our server Diana was amazing as well. Great experience and would definitely recommend!“

“I was on the fence about this place because of the motel it's connected to, but the food turned out to be really good.Only thing I would change is the coffee ( wasn't that good ) and the size of the coffee cup, other than that it's a 4 star.“

“It’s a guy for security there. Ponytail with glasses, caramel skin! I was violated , lions lost and a guy who I was giving a fist pump too lifted my shirt up and this security overheard me and was ready to kick him out! All my friends were gone and this guy made me feel so safe and protected he was ready to GOOOOO! I’m forever grateful for him and told him it wasn’t necessary I won’t be back! But by all means he’s a gem! Thank you sir!“

“Seem a little tight with the spacing as far as the seats are concern near the bar but overall the food was delicious I had corn beef wonton for appetizer and PB&J Waffles..and tater tots which I never had on my waffles before..and the waffles were so fluffy I literally wanted to order another plate but I didn't want to over do it..and the champagne was great. I really enjoyed it for first time experience.“

“So this rating is for the desserts only. My Wife and I were at the DIA not that long ago and stopped at Kresge Court for a quick snack. The crème brûlée was phenomenal. As were the donut bites. It's a fun place to stop and rest for a bit while you're exploring the DIA“

“I love this place! Best breakfast sandwich in town! Get a lemon bar if you can grab one before they sell out! I have had some minor customer service issues like needing to ask to have tables cleaned and forks not being stocked (you have to grab your own and when they are out you’re stuck with food getting cold) but they have always been resolved with a smile.“

“Spent family Thanksgiving here with a terrific view of the parade. Our time will go down as the most memorable Thanksgiving ever with our families. The staff was exceptionally warm and attentive, from the door guy, hostesses, and waitress. I have to especially give personal recognition to Sara (purplish highlights) our server who was not only warm, kind, sweet, engaging and caring throughout our 4hrs. She was also quick, attentive, accommodating, and surprisingly for as busy as it was, she was there anytime my family needed something. The experience was so amazing that I’m not sure if I’ll do it next year as the “bar” was set so high that I’m not sure if it’s achievable again, as in a great compliment . Thank you Union Assembly staff for your exceptional service on a holiday, I do appreciate it knowing work was early and dealing with parade route traffic/blockages and yet you all still provided warmth and hospitality.“

“Barcade remains an absolute blast, especially when I'm hanging out with my 30-something-year-old son and his friends. There's an abundance of entertaining games for everyone, ensuring a lively atmosphere throughout. For beer enthusiasts, it's akin to stumbling upon a hoppy paradise; the bar selection is simply outstanding.While they do offer food, our primary focus was on indulging in games, drinks, and, of course, catching the college basketball finals on TV. Don't forget to have your ID handy as everyone gets carded – a testament to their commitment to a safe and enjoyable environment.I wholeheartedly endorse this venue, particularly for those aged 25 to 35 who will revel in the diverse array of games on offer. From pinball to high-speed driving simulators to classic Ms. Pac-Man, there's something here to satisfy every gaming taste bud and keep the fun going all night long.“

“A great midtown location convenient to downtown venues as well as Fisher Theatre, etc...Started with the seasonal mule, cucumber. A crisp open with floral finish makes this an excellent summer choice. Next, a Mozz Pizza. Thin crust artesian style, think Neopolitanish. Then the Pulled Beef sandwich with fries. Preparation was traditional with just the right amount of pickles, but could have used a bit more bbq sauce. The sandwich paired well with the Bees Knees draft. A slightly hoppy open with a hint of berry sweetness. A Bell's Oberon feel with berry in place of citrus. Finally, Chris was an attentive server that was kind and courteous. A recommended spot with a great ambiance and adequate menu.“

“Have come here a few times since moving to Detroit. It's in a very old mostly abandoned industrial part of the city along the Detroit River, made better by nice new development nearby, adjoining a portion of the beautiful Detroit River Walk, and on a strip near the Atwater Grill with other businesses. Very nostalgic looking business whose interior including bathrooms have certainly seen better days, but made comfortable by the nice wait staff and VERY HOSPITABLE owner who is most always available and a pleasure to chat with. Generally speaking the food here is very good. I'd call this a must visit little foray into old Detroit, where you can get a nice meal and drinks well off the beaten path. I like it.“

“Absolutely loved everything about Parc ! In between the atmosphere , food and our server Nadiyah. Honestly I think the good service is enough for a five star review the food was the cherry on top. Nadiyah was so knowledgeable about the specials and drinks me and my bf were blown away. We 10/10 recommend Parc! We ordered the Poulet au vin and the Scottish salmon and the gnocchi gratin. All were amazing !! We will definetly be back in the summer!Dietary restrictions: We had a nut allergy and our server Nadyah was so accommodating!! 10/10 service“

“Our table has the Butter Chicken, Gyro and Stuffed flounder. All of which were amazing. The stuffed flounder was so tender and buttery, the grilled homemade crab cake inside was delicious. 5 star Diner! Tonya our waitress gave us great recommendations for next time and was a great server!“

“My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Lakes of Taylor Golf Club on June 24, 2023. We were thrilled with how friendly and accommodating all of the staff was during our wedding day. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how the food was delicious and how they loved talking to our bartenders. The venue also accommodated some of our guest's dietary restrictions and our bar menu. We planned our event with Debbie. She was helpful and organized. She couldn't make it on our special day, so Nancy filled in during our rehearsal and wedding day. Nancy was also very helpful, accommodating, and kind. The ceremony space was beautiful! It included an arch with white flowers and greenery draped over it. Our only complaint was how hot the reception hall was. Some of the guests said they were comfortable with the temperature. It was a very hot and humid day outside. The building is a little bit older so it was difficult to regulate the temperature. Overall, the Lakes of Taylor Golf Club was the perfect venue for our wedding. Our package included two entrees at the buffet, a wedding cake, table linens, and bar. The price was perfect for everything included in our package. The location is close to the airport and great for having a ceremony/reception at the same venue. We couldn't be happier with our choice!“

“Good, though for us was not up to the reputation. Best part was ambiance - lovely. Our server was super nice. Cocktails were a hit. Main food was good. Slightly small portions than expected. Dessert was a definite disappointment. Avoid the pineapple cake. Like really avoid it.“

“The kitchen at Bambozals is always acomindating. Working late, we're always able to call Mary Anne who is always so caring about our order!The Michigan Salad is the best..chicken..cranberries, Blu Cheese..love it!I notice, though sometimes the blue Cheese cranberries and walnuts are scarce! Those are the best parts of the salad that blend the chicken and lettuce together..I like to see them and taste them in this wonderful salad!Nice American friendly bar in Dearborn!“

“A tiny "Mom and Pop" shop with outstanding seasoning on their shrimp, chicken, and fish. I got lemon pepper seasoning on the side, but after starting to eat my food, I totally forgot to put it on as it was so flavorable without it. A hint of spice on the shrimp and fish which wasn't too hot, but elevated the food to another level. I'm glad I found this spot and am looking forward to my next visit!“

“Although I now reside in Arizona, Michigan is home for me, but I've never visited this restaurant. I would always go to Canton L' George Coney Island. No to go there anymore. I visited this restaurant Tuesday Dec 19, 2023 and have not stop talking about the food, the service (Carol, just beautiful, she reads the table very well, she knows her customers even if it's your first time there [had to give her a 25% tip]), the taste and the quantity. Imagine, when you get a lot of food and it's just bland, that's not Telegraph Grill Family Dining at least not this location. The food was amazing. I had the Chicken Skillet, eggs over medium, it's hashbrowns with onions, green bell peppers, mushrooms, I added spinach, pepperjack cheese and a Belgian Waffle.My daughter had Strawberry & Banana French Toast, Son-in Law had Chicken Pita Wrap, Mom had regular sausage, eggs, pancakes, toast. When I say the photos does no justice, you must try it for yourself.“

“I absolutely love this place. The servers were on top of my table, super friendly, food was fast, hot and delicious. My eggs were cooked exactly how I like them. Portions were plentiful. And the prices are way better compared to a lot of the other Coneys in the area. The restaurant is clean with and old fashioned feel.Parking: Parking is street parking and free.Kid-friendliness: High chairs were readily available. They have a good children's menu“

“I can confidently say that Tuhamas stands out as the undisputed champion of meat shawarma. With friendly service and an inviting atmosphere, Tuhama’s has undoubtedly earned its reputation as the go-to destination for the best meat shawarma in Dearborn.“

“We tried Empire 4 years ago for Valentines and it is now a regular spot. The wings are our favorite but every item on the menu has amazing flavor and very satisfying. The shishito peppers, crispy potatoes and Empire Burger along with their chichen sandwich are our regular go tos... The bartenders are always friendly and attentive and make great cocktails.“

“Food is very good .Pricy because getting a sandwich for $14 you have to pay extra $4 for fries so the meal is $18 but I don’t understand Why do they add to the bill 18% service charge while You have to pay MI tax that’s ridiculous.Plus you should add a tip to the waitress .“

“They've been closed for over a year now I'm wondering if they're ever going to come back. I hope they do open up soon I miss eating there and yes they are hard-working people very clean inside and out. I hope the owner son number three is okay“
