Had the absolute best experience. I've frequented a few Michelin star restaurants and the Highlands definitely deserves one! Took my boyfriend for his birthday, and we both got different courses so combined we tried 6 dishes - the bread and butter is superb, loved the prawns, tuna crudo is fantastic, NY strip cooked to perfection. Highly recommend!!

Great views from the top of the Renaissance center. Make sure you get there on time; take 15-20 minutes to park and get into the building.

Came here with friends. While I didn't have the best time in Detroit overall, this is a nice place for a date if you wanted to take someone special on a date. Chill, beautiful scenic view of Detroit overlooking the water into Canada.

10/10 wish I could give more stars. Right from the rip hospitality set the tone with a warm welcome and friendly faces. Don’t be surprised if you learn a thing or two about wine you might have not known. Brad gave us such detailed history and intriguing insights about each wine that was paired along with each course. The only regret i had leaving was not having room for dessert. Cheers!

This place is amazing. Breathtaking view and enjoyed the elevator ride. The food is also amazing with full 3 coarses done well. The service we got was extraordinary and i recommend this place for anyone visiting detroit.

What an experience here, our server(s) we're attentive and wonderful, the food was amazing, and the views are unbeatable. Did the course selection meal, alcohol pairing, and got a dessert at the end. I'll definitely be back for a special occasion or another splurge worthy date night!Parking: You get a voucher from them for your parking waived

I had a fantastic 3-course meal recently that was bursting with flavor and texture. The chef expertly combined sweet, sour, and salty flavors to create an electrifying taste experience. I even got to try caviar for the first time, and it was incredible! The Lamb Chops were grilled to perfection and the inverted cheesecake was simply amazing. Our wait staff was highly professional and knowledgeable, ensuring that my date and I were informed of any dishes that could be problematic for those with dairy allergies. Overall, I would rate this restaurant a 9 out of 10. My only suggestion would be that they consider implementing a dress code to match the high-end dining experience.Dietary restrictions: Great choices for dairy allergies.

the restaurant is beautiful and an experience, but it isn’t all that. i had reservations and had to wait almost 10 minutes for a table although i had reservations. the service was amazing they have amazing waiters and employees all of them are so kind. the food though is not the best. this is the least i’ve ever ate/gotten when going to a restaurant but the most i’ve ever paid. you get about three things in each plate, like three tunas with cracks, three raviolis so you barely get food but you pay a lot. the food was interesting the flavors and everything but it didn’t sit right with my stomach barely touched anything. however they did accommodate us since we didn’t like the food. the desert though was amazing especially the homemade ice cream. id give it 5/5 for the view and the service but a 1/5 for the food. id recommend the place for the view, bar and desert but not for the food it isn’t worth the money you pay.

My wife and I enjoyed our 2nd date in awhile here! The experience was exceptional. Every single staff member greeted us and welcomed us on our walk to our table. Salah and Drew took care of our food, wine and water and they made it a special experience for us. It’s a very positive atmosphere with amazing views of Detroit, Window and the rivers. You can truly see the whole city and beyond. Parking is easy, and they validate it for you. Not only do we recommend going here, but we will definitely be back again ourselves someday. The food is unique and fantastic! Probably more than I expected, the portions were appropriate and by the end of the 3 courses, I felt like I had eaten well, but not too much. Sometimes fine dining leaves you hungry, but not here. You will leave happy and feeling like you are some great food that was prepared with a lot of care. Thank you Highlands team for a great experience and all the effort you put in to make this an iconic Detroit experience!
The food was unbelievable. The service was beyond impressive!! We felt like Royalty. Loved that Chef Shawn stopped at our table to check on things.
