“If you like a bar with a great local feel, this is it. It’s the perfect size—not too big, not too small—and the energy is awesome. We loved getting the jukebox going with some 90s R&B; it really got the whole place involved! Great drink specials and a perfect spot to unwind. It’s loud, fun, and nostalgic. A real gem!“

“Lumen Detroit first time here, and it was such a delightful surprise! Downtown Detroit always surprises me, and Lumen Detroit is truly amazing. The service is great, the food and the drink are top-notch, and the atmosphere is vibrant. After dinner, we headed upstairs for our last drink, and the rooftop in the heart of Detroit is absolutely amazing!“

“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!“

“This place is awesome. The service is incredible. But the food was even better! The interior of it takes you back to a simpler time. Family owned and operated. The server was the sister of the cook. The coney dogs didn’t stand a chance. Fries were so crunchy and delicious. While there, the folks sitting to the left of me ordered breakfast. I’m definitely coming back just based off of how good their hash browns looked. 10/10. Definitely coming back!“

“A group of us made the quick walk over to Townhouse from the convention center. We were given the option to sit right away or wait a few minutes for a table to be cleared in the atrium. So glad we chose to wait. The atrium is beautiful! Our server, Diego, was fantastic and all his recommendations were hits at the table! He also was diligent about checking with the kitchen to ensure those in our parties with allergies/sensitivities were good with their food choices.“

“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.“

“My girlfriend and meself stopped in randomly after the Eastern Market and had one of the best meals and experience we’ve had while visiting Detroit. The Tokyo muscles were the best muscles I’ve ever had. We had a classic Bloody Mary and their hot sauce really brought some heat! We got the Carmel cookie coffee as well and that was swell as well. The environment and staff especially made the experience even better. We had Rhonda as a server and she was very pleasant and helped give us recommendations that turned out to be very tasty. Overall we were glad we chose to eat at Vivio’s and will definitely be back next time we wander to Detroit.“

“Stopped here before a concert at LCA last night - obviously busy, but wait wasn’t bad at all and we were able to get a drink at the bar and wait outside. I wish I could remember our servers name, but she was absolutely stellar! She was super friendly, funny and quick despite having a large section on a busy night. Got the shrimp tacos (AMAZING and filling - has a perfect amount of “kick”) and my husband got the hot chicken sandwich (the one small bite I was allowed was phenomenal) overall 10/10 experience!“

“Great burger!! Sitting at the bar was the best choice because Ashley the bartender is a 12/10 with service, personality and fun! 1st time here and we will be back!“

“I have lunch here about every two weeks. My best impression, is having a floor manager, visit the table, during my visit, to ask if all is well. Having that backup, besides a waitress, is excellent customer care!“

Great food, great atmosphere, and consistently great experience. Highly recommend! ☕🍳🥐“

“We stopped in Central Kitchen + Bar this past Sunday, 9/21, for brunch before the Tigers Game. What a fantastic experience! We were greeted so kindly and had the pleasure of Brandon serving us. He gave us many menu recommendations and checked on us continually. The atmosphere of the restaurant was “elegant and fun!” We’ll be back the next time we visit Detroit. Thanks for a wonderful dining experience!“

“Just had the wonderful Thanksgiving Buffet at the Taylor location for $24.37 (incl tax) for soup, salad, turkey, ham, chicken, several sides and pumpkin pie! Great staff....they treat you like family.😊“

“Not only is the food fantastic, but the people behind it are what truly make it special. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and the community around them. They recently sponsored a local BJJ tournament, which speaks volumes about the kind of business they are—supportive, generous, and invested in bringing people together. It’s always inspiring to see businesses give back in meaningful ways, and they absolutely lead by example. If you’re looking for great food and even better people, this is a place worth supporting. Highly recommend!“

The food is fresh and good, did I say it’s clean!!’ Plus it’s a family owned restaurant. I know yall still love Coney’s we’ll go to Nicki D’s on Grandriver across the street from that beautiful new Credit Union. Holla!“

“the employees are very professional and friendly and always doing everything they can to make the customers experience great ,management needs to let customers know not to park over at the curbside parking and drive up to the side of the building, management makes there employees look bad when they don't inform the customers“

“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“

“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.
