“We dined here prior to seeing a show at the Fisher. From the minute we walked in we were so Impressed. The staff at the door were super friendly and took us directly to our seats. The waitstaff was extremely attentive, and the food was amazing. We cannot wait to go back. We highly recommend!“

“We always have a great experience here. The food is consistently excellent, and the atmosphere makes it an easy place to relax and enjoy a meal. Service was just as strong—our waitress was very attentive and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. It’s the kind of place where you feel well taken care of without even having to ask. Lumen really stands out as a go-to spot for both great food and reliable service.“

“Lamb and Osso Bucco were so good, homemade rolls were amazing pillows of goodness and ordered the bread pudding to go but smells amazing“

“Townhouse continues to be one of Detroit’s standout dining experiences. The sushi is phenomenal—exceptionally fresh, with rice that’s perfectly seasoned and cooked just right, which makes all the difference. The ambiance is equally impressive, offering an upscale yet comfortable atmosphere that feels special without being pretentious.

If possible, request indoor seating facing Congress or Woodward Street. The views add another layer to the experience and make for great people-watching while you dine.

The price point is definitely on the higher end, but the quality, freshness, execution, and overall experience justify the cost. Simply put, the food and atmosphere deliver value that aligns well with the premium pricing.“

“Wow, what an experience. This was truly fine and fun dining. Amazing food, incredible service and cool tunes!“

“Literally the best breakfast sammich I’ve consumed. I’ve had several attempts to recreate this at other diners & they ALL fail in comparison.“

“I had an incredible dining experience at Highlands Detroit, and it was one of the highlights of my trip. The restaurant offers breathtaking views of the Detroit skyline, which made the evening even more memorable. I ordered a steak along with a seasonal side, and everything was cooked perfectly. The flavors were outstanding, the presentation was elegant, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out.

The service was just as impressive. The staff was professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making sure every detail of the meal was taken care of without feeling rushed.

My tip is to make a reservation in advance and request a window table if possible. Arriving a little before sunset is well worth it so you can enjoy both the daytime views and the city lights after dark.

Thank you to the entire team at Highlands Detroit for the exceptional food, outstanding service, and unforgettable atmosphere. I truly enjoyed my visit and will definitely be back the next time I'm in Detroit.“

“The service is wonderful; they will take care of you and your guest(s). It is sure to be a cozy evening of fine dining.“

“If you're looking for a place for meet and greets, chill vibes to kick back after work or just to hang out downtown, Firebird is the place. The food was 10/10, service was prompt and everyone was very welcoming. Clean and well kept establishment, I will be back for sure to another green tea that was made to perfection.“

“Friendly service that was a perfect balance between attentive and letting-you-chill. The espresso martini was so good and the breakfast sandwich was also really good! I think the potatoes were my favorite breakfast potatoes I've ever had. Salty, not too heavy. Great great place to go for brunch with some friends!“

“Enjoyed a beer flight to get acquainted with their selection and style. Normally I don't gravitate towards lagers but their Fly Life was something special. Great staff, Monique was friendly and knowledgeable. Huge patio - worth a visit if youre in Corktown“

“Originally from Michigan but now live in Florida. Went to Detroit for the weekend to attend Red Wings games. Looked for perch dinners and found Andrew’s. Absolutely awesome perch with a generous portion. Loved the atmosphere of the old time era. Staff exceptionally friendly as was the owner. Would definitely recommend this place and can’t wait to return. What I liked was the minimal breading so you have the true taste of perch. This is by far the place to go if you love perch.“

“Came here for a night out with my fiancé and ended up having a blast. They have all the old school games, which fills up my happy little old-school heart. The bar was amazing, and the drinks were fantastic. I will definitely be back as I still have a crap ton of coins. The only con I have is that there's no tickets or prizes for winning the games.“

“Five stars easily. The Detroit Club is more than just a restaurant or hotel, it’s an experience from the moment you walk through the doors. The energy is warm, elevated, and welcoming, and the entire space is absolutely beautiful. The aesthetics, ambiance, and attention to detail make it feel timeless and intentional.
I was dining alone, and one of the chefs, Chef Tony Rave, personally came out to check on me, which honestly made the experience feel even more special. That level of hospitality and care stands out. The food was incredible, flavorful, fresh, and beautifully done.
Wonderful atmosphere, amazing service, and genuinely delicious food. A place that makes you feel welcomed the moment you arrive.“

“Been going there for several years. I like the service. No fooling around no loud talking, laughing out loud, just taking care of business.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.“

“Kresge Court is a great place to relax, have a conversation with friends, or get some work done on your laptop. There's a small selection of food and drinks available for purchase nearby, but most folks come here for the atmosphere and the WiFi“

“I was up there yesterday and got two cheese burgers with extra pickles and no onions. I will be back soon!!) 😎🍔🍔“

“I went for the first time yesterday! Great Service&They Serve Excellent Drink Portions! I will be back to try the food🎯“

“After reading several reviews, it left me hesitant about going to Iridescene, however I'm glad that I did not let that deter me. Everything we ordered, from the wine and dine menu was delicious. The chicken breast was tender enough to cut with a fork. And the mashed potatoes were very tasty and well seasoned. I would recommend this place.“

“SavannahBlue stands firmly among the best of the best—an experience that not only lives up to its James Beard recognition but makes a strong case for even higher praise. From the moment you arrive, there’s an unmistakable sense that you’re about to experience something special.
The menu is nothing short of exceptional. The crab dip is almost impossible to describe—it’s one of those dishes that stops conversation entirely, rich, perfectly balanced, and unforgettable. Every plate that followed reinforced the same level of excellence: a decadent, comforting mac and cheese, boldly seasoned jerk chicken, deeply flavorful greens, and tender, fall-off-the-bone oxtail.
But the true standout of the night was the red snapper—perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. It was the kind of dish that defines a meal and lingers in your memory long after.
The service matched the quality of the food at every turn. Attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in the experience, the team delivered recommendations that hit every mark. There is a dress code, which adds to the elevated atmosphere—but if you find yourself slightly underdressed, a smile and a polite ask to Miss Lisa might just work in your favor.
Savannah Blue didn’t just impress—it set a new standard. The next time we’re in town, this isn’t just a stop; it’s at the very top of our list.
Thank you to the entire team for one spectacular night. Y'all have made it very difficult to go back to California, knowing that there isn't much to look forward to back home.“

“They've been closed for over a year now I'm wondering if they're ever going to come back. I hope they do open up soon I miss eating there and yes they are hard-working people very clean inside and out. I hope the owner son number three is okay“

“Went with Family for a B-Day dinner, Had A Berry, 2 of those Your Good. Had the Wings tried other dishes on the table with family remember Great Food. Will stop by before a Piston Game. P.S. Nice Staff and Clean Invironment“

“The Detroit Club is a beautifully preserved historic gem that captures the elegance and charm of old Detroit. From the stunning architecture to the rich history throughout the building, every detail reflects timeless sophistication. The atmosphere is warm, classy, and welcoming, making it a wonderful place for dining, events, or simply appreciating the city’s history. The staff was professional and attentive, and the overall experience felt both luxurious and memorable. A true treasure in downtown Detroit.“

“Beautiful setting with amazing views of the Detroit River and the Canadian skyline. Courtney was my server and she was excellent. Paced the meal and drinks perfectly and left me with plenty of uninterrupted time to enjoy my book and the view. Highly recommended if you are staying at the hotel or even live in the area.“
