Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Detroit

Our server made wonderful recommendations that were right on point. The food was very tasty, hot and came out at a reasonable pace.

When I say a 10/10 experience , our server Ebony was literally a ball of light. She was so inviting and welcoming to allllll of us ; very attentive and such a great person truly ! Everyone was helpful no matter whose table it was !

Great first experience! Food and drinks were great!

We were seated at a high top for 2 people that overlooked the kitchen. My wife and I are average sized humans and we felt the table was a little cramped for shared plates, but this was the only negative thing to say about our evening. The service was outstanding with napkins, plates, and cutlery replaced with each course. The restaurant was filled with conversation and some fun music, about what you would expect with shared plates being the main theme. The drinks were great, the view from our table was superb. We had a look in on the open fire grill and the stone oven while also being able to watch the bartenders put on a show making cocktails. Food was top notch and came out spaced perfectly. We had the beef tartare, Carrots, octopus, and duck. This was an excellent date night, anniversary meal (if you’re ok with loud) or a great double date, I think 4 people here fits the menu size for their shared plates pretty well.

We stayed at the Detroit Foundation Hotel, so of course we needed to try the restaurant. Except for getting seated at a small table by the entrance when the restaurant was almost empty and there were plenty of nicer table to choose from, it all turned out great. The food…. perfection!!!! The oysters were so fresh and delicious! The cocktails and their wine list were great, so even before considering the entrees, we were impressed. The menu is seasonal and had a nice variety to it. We ended up ordering Gnocchi and the Lamb ragu pasta which was perfect. Both dishes filled with flavors and the perfect size. The vibe at the hotel was great and I would be perfectly fine just staying at the hotel for a weekend enjoying perfect food, fun Saturday afternoon cocktails (they have a DJ playing great music) and excellent brunches on the weekends. If anything, the staff was a little inattentive. They very easily ignored people wanted to buy something at the bar, tables in the lobby bar didn’t get cleaned when people left etc. But still I gotta love this place.
