Aside from this being associated to The Siren Hotel, this spot is good. It's called the Ash Bar now. Lea the waitress is great - she was kind and accommodating. Food is okay but this spot makes you feel like you traveled back in time.

You wouldn't think a simple ham sandwich would be worth $12. You'd be wrong. Definitely get the slaw too! I WILL return!11/25/2023: a moment of silence please. I just leaned Karl's has closed. Well I guess COVID wasn't ALL great...

So unbelievably sad that this restaurant closed. No diner compared to Karl’s and the food was 100/10

Place is stellar. Don't miss pancakes for the table. They are swoon worthy.

The interior of carls is absolutely gorgeous gorgeous. The food? Not so much. Its expensive and I didnt really like what I had. Plus, the parking here isn't great. You can valet, but I parked down the street at the casino garage.
Overall service was fantastic and I enjoyed my experience but the food was just okay.
Parking: Parking is rough here. You can valet, or park at the casino garage.

Great food, great service, comfy booths for two! A little loud, but most restaurants are these days. Loved the pancakes and frittata!
Karl's is a Detroit classic that is one of the most popular unknown places in the city. On the second floor of the Siren hotel, the food is some of the best value on downtown. The menu has a wide variety from great breakfast choices to excellent lunch and dinner.The service is typical Detroit, super friendly and attentive. I would recommend this as a great brunch choice if you want to meet friends, with family or a date.Big shout out to the entire team for pulling of a great restaurant.

We were underwhelmed. The service was not great. The food was good but more of a lunch vibe then dinner. There were only 4 choices of wine. The decor was very cute but we’re Probably not returning.

Good was EXCEPTIONAL. Shrimp & grits were to die for, best I’ve ever had. Very 50’s diner ambience. In the super cute Siren boutique hotel.
