“Anybody reading this, my mamaw was the barmaid there beginning in the 60s. Annie Ruth Ladd. They also lived above the bar for some time. My mother told me that she vividly remembers looking out the window and seeing the National guard going down Jefferson into Detroit. At that time, she was 9 years old. My mother grew up to work in the bar. Her name is Roseann or Rosie. I spent lots of my youth there, playing quarter machines. Rosie Also worked Square Deal. Y'all probably knew my papaw too his name was Jim Ray Boatwright and he was known in River Rouge as being one of the Town drunks lol God rest his soulCan't wait to stop in and reminisce!Also, if anybody knew my family or can share stories, please let me know. Thank you.”

“We was recommended to give this place a try Our breakfast was great the waitress was wonderful we will be back.”

“Having recently dined at Mad Nice, with an exceptional waitress Alaina, at an upscale Italian-inspired establishment nestled in Detroit’s vibrant Midtown at 4120 Second Ave, I find myself compelled to share an erudite reflection on what proved to be a most memorable culinary experience. This restaurant, a venture by Heirloom Hospitality Group, masterfully intertwines the rustic charm of Italian tradition with a modern, coastal California sensibility—an ambitious fusion that, on this occasion, delivered a resounding success. What truly distinguishes Mad Nice, however, is its outstanding customer service—a rarity in an era where such attention can sometimes wane. The staff, from the warm hosts to the attentive servers, exuded a genuine passion for their craft. Our waitress, Alaina, was nothing short of exceptional—her humor and knowledge enriched the evening, as she anticipated our needs with an almost preternatural finesse, ensuring that water glasses remained filled and recommendations flowed freely. My sister Alaina’s evident pride in her work elevated the meal from excellent to extraordinary, making her a standout memory of the night. In sum, Mad Nice is a culinary gem that not only meets but exceeds the lofty expectations set by its stylish veneer. The food is delicious, the choices abundant, the drinks sublime, and the service—thanks in no small part to Alaina—unparalleled. I wholeheartedly recommend it to locals and travelers alike, and I, for one, shall make it a ritual to return whenever my journeys bring me back to this dynamic city. Mad Nice is not merely a restaurant; it is a destination, a delightful paradox of “mad” ambition and “nice” execution that lingers long after the last bite.”

“Great food and service within the beautiful city of Detroit.”

“Wow. What an absolutely fantastic final dinner of 2023! After we managed to find a late dinner reservation for New Year's Eve, it was a relief to discover that our excitement about the tasting menu was well-placed. I would definitely recommend the drink pairings as well! The amuse-bouche featuring oysters from the West and East coasts was a delightful way to splash into the meal. The wasabi and the mangosteen featured in each of the oysters, respectively, complimented the beautiful brine of the oysters in such a wonderfully playful way. This first tasting urged us to pause the menu progression and order an extra dozen oysters to explore the other possibilities. Tasting from Vancouver to Prince Edward Island, they were beautifully prepared and of excellent quality. The first course of lobster salad felt like a summer in Maine. Not that I've ever been to Maine, but the imaginary scene flashed across my vision as I took that first refreshing bite. The grapefruit emulsion worked almost majestically with the light, refreshing flavor of the lobster salad. The tapioca chip was perfect for the crunch to fully bring the different elements of the dish together. A fascinating intersection of refreshment and comfort. The second course was the potato pavé. I'll be thinking of this potato often for the foreseeable future. It was one of those dishes that makes your eyes pop open a bit when you bite it as you realize how good it is. A beautifully layered and seared rectangle of flaky delicious potato resting with a lovely salsa brava speckled with trout roe, topped with tarragon, cured trout, and black truffle flakes. I don't even know what else to say. It was stunning. Sea urchin buttered ramen, the third course, will always be what I wish my at-home thrown-together ramen could be. It was rich, it was luscious, it was comforting. Growing up in southeast Texas, crawfish boils were always some of the most exciting times of the year. The crawfish tails in the ramen brought me back to those summer days eating crawfish with a cold beer. The duck breast for the fourth course was exceptionally cooked. It was juicy and flavorful and made a perfect bite with a bit of cauliflower, raisins, apricot, agrodolce, and foie-sauce. Each bite was such a symphony of flavor that kept me coming back. Last but absolutely not least was the gâteau ardéchois: the chestnut cream cake. Accompanied by cranberry coulis and crispy meringue bites, this dessert was a sweet but still mellow finish. While the coffee mascarpone ice cream was a robust and complementary flavor, we both agreed the vanilla coconut ice cream was the star between the two. Thank you again to the stellar crew at Mink! Happy New Year!”

“Unique dining experience! Celebrated my birthday with my husband AND some new friends we met there ! 100% recommend!!! This is one of my new favourite places!!! Will be back for sure!!!”

“Dinner was delicious. The cocktails were expertly crafted, the food drool-worthy and perfectly seasoned and presented. The cozy, upscale vibe was perfect for date night, or a pre-show meal. I look forward to returning to try more on the menu- it was tough to choose just one dish!”

“Sooooo good! Just had dinner tonight and can honestly say the food and service NEVER disappoints!”

“It was my time here and the service was amazing and the steak was the best Filet I ever had !!”

“Luke was an excellent driver on Detroit Rolling Pub. He was lots of fun and a careful and alert driver.”

“Amazing anniversary dinner there and did not disappoint!! 5 stars and we will be back.”

“the best coneys in Detroit. served on glass plates (no styrofoam) actual servers too!”

“Pretty good food and I enjoyed the atmosphere. Our server was a spectacular. Unfortunately the bar service was slow so our server had to apologize 2 or 3 times for not delivering our cocktails earlier. They took quite a while. My margarita was too tart for my liking but my hubby enjoyed his (some spin on an old fashioned)

It seems the menu selections are not really for your average Mexican cuisine diner. A bit pricey for no reason at all. I probably wouldn't come here again by choice but if someone else invited me, I'd return.

My husband got the half chicken and I got the steak, both were pretty good and came with veggies and house made corn tortillas which were great for making little tacos. Use the accompanying salsas on the menu, they boost the flavor of the entrees. Parking around this place is not the easiest.”

“Some of the most amazing food we’ve ever eaten”

“My husband and I stopped at Sicily’s on Vernon Hwy for some authentic Detroit style pizza before leaving the city and it was amazing!! We tried the pepperoni and white pizza and were not disappointed. The staff were super friendly and the dining area was beautiful! Can’t wait to go back ☺️”

“So good! The octopus was the best octopus dish I've ever eaten - it was so tender with a slight crisp and so flavorful. I didn't even get a picture before we dug into it. The pork collar was a great blend of textures and flavors - I got extra bread just to have a delivery vehicle for the peach conserva in this dish. The croquettes were a must too, they packed so much mushroom goodness in them. We got 3 small plates and 4 large plates, which was more than enough for 4 people. Will be coming back again.”

“everything was very good, we sat at the bar and McKenzie took really good care of us, a must try spot!”

“Beautiful, clean, quiet, AMAZING desserts, very fresh. Highly recommend. Great date spot.”
