“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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 will forever be my favorite spot in Detroit to splurge. Every time I go here I am amazed at the Chef's Choice preset menu. The cocktail and wine program is 12/10. Highly recommended.Vegetarian options: They ask about dietary restrictions when they greet you and all vegan and vegetarian dishes are clearly marked on the menuDietary restrictions: They ask about dietary restrictions when they greet you and all vegan and vegetarian dishes are clearly marked on the menuParking: Street parking only. Can get busy around 7pm“
“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!“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“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!“
“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)“
“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“
“Been going there for several years. I like the service. No fooling around no loud talking, laughing out loud, just fooling around. It’s quiet, professional service, everybody working, and most of the time they got my eggs just like I like them can’t say anything negative about omega, and I always run into Brenda sitting right on the end at the counter. They know who Brenda is, but you guys might not. I’ll give omega 10 stars.“
“Parking here sucks but the coffee and pastries are very good. There are tons of vegan options for drinks and a good amount for food. There's a small sitting area in the back, and the line can end up filling the seating area. If you want to sit and chill, I'd go to another red hook location. All of the other ones have more seating. This one, though, has the best vibes tbh. Make sure you get whatever food you order warmed up it makes it 10 times better.Dietary restrictions: They have all the vegan milk options and vegan quick bites“
“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.“
“Listen guys! I’m speaking to my Detroit natives and my tourists.. this place is the place to BE! Yesterday I visited this establishment and I had ‘what I thought’ was the best experience but after returning for seconds the VERY NEXT DAY… I’d have to say that each time I visit the experience gets better and better. I absolutely love this place. Not only because it’s black owned but because they stand on straight business. The food was exceptional And you can tell that they take pride in providing quality service. I order the pasta 10/10, the sweet & spicy shrimp 10/10 & the chicken sandwich 10/10.. no exaggeration.. yeah so check them out“
“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.“
“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.“
“I went here on a friend's advice. Chef Greg was very cool! He even brought the food out to my car. I had meatloaf...very very good! Mac and cheese was awesome! Also had the house specialty sub sandwich-ground beef with a special house sauce...sorry Chef Greg, I can't remember...was it Bogaloo sauce? Great, but messy, sandwich! Sadly, it was carry out only. Not too far from my Dearborn home. Can't wait to go back!“
“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“
“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.“
“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!“
“It was a vibe!!! I visited from New Orleans this past Sunday afternoon. I was only there for a drink but glanced at the food menu and couldn’t resist. I was skeptical at first being from down south I’ve never had any cooking from the Midwest. I must’ve ate the best omelette in my life. Drinks were nice and strong. Waitress were very nice and attentive I had no issues whatsoever even though I know they had a hard time of understanding the way I speak. Lol ? I’m looking forward to coming back soon!!!“
“Went to petty cash last night and honestly I can’t wait to go again! We sat at the bar and had great service! The lemon drops we had were great and consistent, considering we had 3 they taste the same each time! EVERYTHING WE ORDERED WAS DELICIOUS. Caesar salad, crab cake, lamb ribs (top tier), fries, Brussel sprouts, and pita chips and dip. Our food arrived hot and within a timely manner. The ambiance was nice! Parking was fair. Pricing was reasonable. I love that the music was on and at mid volume. It wasn’t so loud that I couldn’t hear the person next to me. The bathrooms were clean and unisex. 10/10“
“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!“
