New American Restaurants near Grosse Pointe Park, MI

“The Charlevoix is a fantastic local restaurant with an evolving menu that perfectly embraces the seasons. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great place to catch a game and meet locals who are always eager to share their love for the town.

We started our visit with a couple of cocktails expertly crafted by the bartender 'Peaches.' They were not only priced well but also absolutely excellent! Each drink was a delight, and we found ourselves wanting to try more.

While we didn't sample the food this time, we're excited to return and explore the menu. The locals were more than happy to share their favorites, giving us some great recommendations for our next visit.

Overall, The Charlevoix offers a wonderful blend of quality drinks, a welcoming atmosphere, and a sense of community that makes it stand out. We can't wait to go back.“

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

“To start out, our waitress was excellent. We started with calamari and veggie platter and both were great. My wife ordered the vegetable ciabatta , my son and I got a steak and they were cooked to perfection. We got a couple different desserts and they did not disappoint either. It was the 3rd time we've sat in the chalets and we will be back again. Great experience all around“

“I have gone to the Whitney every year for Christmas dinner. It was annual holidays to celebrate with my nieces. Last Christmas holiday we chose to take the buffet. I was extremely disappointed. All I wanted was prime rib. The server was not very friendly. She stared at me and I was very uncomfortable when I asked for the prime rib only. There was just a small end piece and she gave me a very thin slice close resembling lunch meat. I don’t understand since I paid for a complete meal and it wasn’t cheap. I could’ve gone somewhere else and had a wonderful prime rib dinner. The au jous was not warm, so that was very disappointing. I will never do the buffet again if it’s like last year. In previous years, I’ve attended the buffet and it was outstanding.“

“We had a great time! The sushi, Raspberry Michigan dessert, service, and my drop drink were absolutely delicious! The music and service from Iyanna were amazing, and then Chef Sebastian came out to introduce himself to us. Such a fantastic experience overall—you won’t regret going there for a special occasion! ❤️“

“This is the Creme de la creme of Detroit's finest dining. The service was excellent, the staff was very professional and the General Manger, Byron, was very attentive and impeccable to us. I commend the owners for choosing such a great person to manage the restaurant. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who want to experience the finest in dining. KUDOS to Highlands Detroit!“

“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 am not a food critic. But I have the time while flying back home to reflect on dinner last night. The experience was so amazing that I had to leave a glowing review. I seldom take the time to do so.

Marrow is top shelf dining experience. My friends and I went all in with the food paring ($90) and drink paring ($45) options. Pricey but well worth it. 3 small but flavorful starters, a wonderful pear salad, a chorizo and gnocchi dish head of the main event… a 7oz flat iron steak cooked to perfection over a bed of lightly smoked and tender pinto beans finishing with a single scoop of chestnut ice cream. But that was just the food. The drinks were carefully paired with each course. 5 in total. Each one balanced bitterness, sweetness, and acid with each course. My mouth was alive as if it had been raised from the dead. It was so amazing that I forgot to mentally note each drink so I could describe them in the future.

This place is a diamond in the rough. I only wish I had met the chef and the team behind the incredible experience.

I am from Los Angeles and have plenty of great places to dine. My visit to Detroit to watch my friends compete in an indoor track bike race was punctuated be this celebratory dinner.

If you love incredible food with thoughtfully pared drinks, I cannot recommend Marrow enough.“

“What a wonderful team, food, beer, cider! We are just so lucky to have had our daughters after wedding party here at Batch. Kimberly was a pleasure to work with during the planning and day of the event.
Stephen came to meet us and was essential in making sure we had “Polish, double smoked kielbasa “ for the event. It should be on the menu full time! Everything was delicious and fresh.
The Alabama white pulled chicken, pulled pork, pretzels, smoked meats charcuterie board, fresh fruit, double smoked Kielbasa ( so darn delicious) and the Kale Cesar salad.. all finished off by our Family and guests. Everyone loved the beer selection, the food and the vibe at Batch!
We have always been supporters of Batch Brewery, now we feel like they are part of the Family.
As always with Batch Brewery, just a wonderful , delicious experience! Thank you all for that.“

“Always a turn up when I come home!!!“

“Jenna did an outstanding job coordinating our holiday party at The Firebird. Her communication was prompt and thorough, and she provided excellent recommendations for both event packages and food options that were perfect for our team. The event itself ran seamlessly, and everyone had a fantastic time. The staff working that evening were equally impressive. We would absolutely love to host another event with them in the near future“

“Stopped in for a quick bite and prices were a bit more than I could afford. I settled on the Harvest Orzo. Probably should have noticed bacon was added to request it removed. There were 4 squares of squash, plenty of orzo and a bed of greens. The flavor with squash was great but there weren't many pieces of it to call that the flavor of the dish. It was more like cheesy orzo. The staff was great. I felt welcomed. I know the food here can be great, this time sorry.“

“The food and service was excellent!!! The stuffed salmon is a must!! The bartender customer service was impeccable.“

“Great service!! We shared small plates and entrees!“

“Great friendly place with great comfort foods.“

“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.“

“Excellent place for great food and service. We had a wonderful time. Also great price for the quality of food“

“My husband and I love this place , been here twice and great food, servers , atmosphere. Just a wonderful place .“

“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.“

“It was our first time in this place and Ibrahim made our experience so great!! He guided us on the menu and had amazing mixology skills. Will be coming back!“

“Always fun! Great staff! Great food! Great music! Good parking!“

“Great service and great well prepared food“

“I had a delicious biscuit and a Black Tonic! Very interesting beverage if you’re feeling a little daring - I liked it!“

“Our server Emily was very attentive, warm and welcoming. She made us feel very comfortable. We highly recommend the rueben sandwich and THE STUFFED SQUASH! Hats off to the chef and Emily. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We will be back.“

“ICE COLD beers. The owner makes most items from scratch with love. Love our local fairway!“

“Set inside the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Kresge Court offers a quiet setting for a break from visiting the art galleries. Or a refuge for studying. This is a lovely historic setting! The open air Italian palazzo-style courtyard was part of the museum's original 1927 design. It was covered with a glass roof in the 1960s as the museum was enhanced with two wings providing additional gallery space. It's been used as a cafe for more than 10 years now. Very appealing to visit as a respite or to grab a coffee or a cold beverage, a snack, or a meal. Our visit was for lunch. Party of 6. And the Harvest turkey sandwich proved to be irresistible as 4 enjoyed this Fall Menu offering, two with the homemade chips, two with a side salad. The other 2 had entree salads: the pear salad, and the sweet potato salad (that was me, and I so enjoyed this very different salad of yummy cooked sweet potato chunks on a bed of arugula with candied pecans, goat cheese, and a hint of onion)...absolutely delicious!!). Everyone enjoyed their sandwiches. And the chips! Yummy!! Simply order at the counter; the food is brought to your table. And your table is bussed.“

“If Katrell (Pineapple Daddy) wasn't here...I wouldn't make it a mandatory location. He makes sure my party is happy and that everything is everything. The food is excellent and the service is as well!“

“Love this place food is great coffee is good they are clean and friendly here .always come here to eat“

“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.“

“Great food. Awesome service“

“The food is great! Never disappoints! Only a couple of things to mention. Had to eat soup with a fork. The tacos were delicious but I can't handle spice. I don't know what your putting in the avocado but it is hot, hot, hot!!! 🥵 Still delicious though, I just couldn't eat it.

Other than that everything was delicious. We will wait to eat here.“

“Great food service and atmosphere . Wait staff was very attentive!“

“food is always good. although I would change the sausage gravy. only thing that was just ok.“

“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“

“Great service and food“

“I recently dined here with my significant other; 12/28/25 just as an “wind down “ intimate dinner prior to the end of the year. I had frequented Savannah Blue a few times, however this was my guy's first time. We both ordered the salmon with grits which was well prepared and seasoned to perfection; very delicious. The atmosphere was warm and cozy. The music level was a bit loud. We had to talk loudly to hear each other. Our waitress, her name escapes me, was very attentive and friendly. She made our dining experience pleasant. I will definitely be bringing my guy back again. He was really impressed.“

“I love there appetizers. French dip delicious.“
