This was our second time eating at Freya and we opted for the 5 course and wine pairing . Similar to last time, the service and food and drink were absolutely stellar. They're extremely consistent with maintaining a high quality of customer service and a very well thought out wine and food pairing.
We will definitely be back!

No doubt in my mind… this will be Detroit’s first Michelin!!!!!
Absolutely AMAZING experience at Freya. Tucked away on an unassuming corner, Freya is the epitome of thoughtful, intentional dining. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with genuine warmth from the hosts, and the small touches,like staff opening your chairs, helped set the tone for the entire evening.
We had the pleasure of being served by Hailey and Joseph, two incredibly knowledgeable and passionate members of the team who made the experience that much better!!
The tasting menu was divine, and one detail I loved is that you don’t all have to choose the same dishes, which is rare for tasting menus and such a refreshing touch.
We opted for the wine pairing, and hats off to the sommelier. Every pour elevated the dishes in ways I didn’t expect; each pairing was SO spot-on.
To start, the crudité of pickled veggies and hummus was a bright opener alongside the tastiest bread.
Apps followed: a perfectly smoked duck ham with a delicate jam-filled crepe.
Then came the oyster mushroom, tossed in a smoked, BBQ-inspired sauce that was so thoughtfully spiced it barely tasted like a vegetable!!
The sausage course was seasoned to perfection, and the striploin made for a standout finish before dessert.
We ended with a rich chocolate course that closed the night beautifully.
Every course really arrived with beautiful, intentional presentation, you can tell the team cares just as much about the visual experience as the flavour. The chefs clearly poured so much intention and creativity into a menu that exceeds expectations.
Only small note: the bathrooms could use a bit more frequent attention, as the garbage did pile up at times, but truly, this was the only detail that fell short in an otherwise exceptional evening.
Freya is special, and absolutely worthy of the hype.

Came here for my solo trip to detroit and I’m deeply satisfied that I picked this restaurant for my dinner. Got recommended to it by a friend who is also a chef and it did not disappoint! I always felt anxious about dining in alone but this experience was relaxing and calm. The food was amazing, had good vegetarian options as well. Dessert was my favorite, as a fellow pastry chef! Wine pairings I received were perfect and worked within my budget. Amazing service and amazing food, no complaints!

Amazing tasting menu, the best I’ve ever had. We did the NA tasting pairing which was fun and included a tea that the chef came up with that evening.

Good service but food was not good and the courses are majorly small. Not even enough for a child. I’ve added a photo.

Food was not as good as we anticipated. Sometimes too saucy or over seasoned. 3 of us came to celebrate a birthday and each did the 5 course meal. Food was not amazing but not bad. Service was excellent. Ambiance is nice. Will fairly give it a 4/5

Made it back to Detroit after a long hiatus. I was in town for the Free Press Marathon which fell on the week of my birthday. I decided to treat myself to a nice dinner and ended up here. The prix fixe menu looked very appealing, as did the tasting menu however, since I decided to dine alone the former was the better option based off the description. The pricing for both was very reasonable imo. I made a reservation stating it was my birthday and the staff accommodated me despite my incorrect selection of seating which required them to contact me. I was given a complimentary glass of champagne and seated very promptly. Although I cannot remember the exact name of the dishes, everything was absolutely incredible. From the house made bread, cucamelon and tomato salad to the 5 courses + additional complementary dish, I can't complain. The taste and presentation was perfect. The vibe of the place was very calm and welcoming, dimly lit, with a great record selection playing in the background. Despite it being cozy and romantic, I didn't feel awkward being alone and in smart casual attire. Only negative I have is they aren't located near me.

We had a very good experience. It's a tasting menu sort of place, but you select 5 dishes. Everything was very nice, original without being way out there. We enjoyed everything a lot. Not a big wine menu, maybe forego the pairing and choose, though the pairing was good. We'll visit again.

We went and thoroughly enjoyed the tasting menu --- the service was perfect, and the food was great - creative, flavorful, very well portioned. We felt no rush, and enjoyed every course. The atmosphere was great and the music super cool - they have an eclectic and fun vinyl collection that plays in the background.
By far the best dining experience in Detroit! The service was impeccable and every dish was creative and delicious! Truly an experience, not just a dinner. We loved everything about it and will definitely return.
The tasting menu has several options for each course which allowed us to mix and match which was great! So many options for vegetarians/pescatarians

My husband and I went to Freya for our wedding anniversary and had such a great experience. Of note: we made a reservation for Friday night and were sat immediately upon arriving.
We did the 9-course grand tasting, and every dish was creative, beautifully presented, and genuinely delicious. The pacing was spot on, the menu flowed really well from start to finish, and we were comfortably full by the time we paid the bill.
The staff was excellent, too; very thorough and present without ever being overbearing (which can sometimes be the case with fine dining). It made the evening feel comfortable while still being special and intimate.
Overall, it was the perfect way to celebrate, and we’ll definitely be back for another occasion!
