Restaurants near Pleasant Ridge

“There were eggshells in my omelette. The parking is absolutely deplorable. The manager dismissive. Definitely Matt driving back for the parking and traffic inconvenience. No discount offered did not want another omelet nor did I want to refund. A minor gesture for the inconvenience for a mistake that probably wasn't intentional. Lots to be desired this visit.!!!! Disappointing to say the least.”

“We ordered the chocolate chip cookies for a family party and they were a hit! I’ve tried all the cookie establishments in the area and these are by far better. They have the perfect amount of crunch on the outside, but gooeyness on the inside. We will be exclusively ordering from dough from now on.”

“What a great spot! A hidden gem. The food is so good, I can’t enough. Good wine selection. The service is great. The atmosphere is very quaint and warm. I have introduced many of my friends to this place and they continue to go back. This is hands down one of my top 3 favorite places in Michigan. I highly recommend it!”

“I’m always happy when this place opens up in the spring! It’s on my way home from work, and their shakes are AMAZING!”

“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!!!”

“just the vibe the food is the icing on the cake”

“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!”

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

“Amazing! The steaks are top notch and the seafood may be the best in the state! Easily the best service in the city to top it off!”

“GRACE is an amazing server, great at suggestions she is personable and delightful. The food was everything her recommendations on food and beverages did not miss‼️”

“Last night we made a pilgrimage to Detroit for one reason only, to visit TAKOI. We had the 6 course chef’s choice menu (plus another few courses on the house). I had very high expectations, but the staff and food managed to exceed them. If anyone is ever in downtown Detroit. You MUST try Takoi!🍜🍲”

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

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

“Everything was good. It was our first time there.. I don’t appreciate the fact that they write in the tip without telling you .I had to go back because I double tipped and nobody said anything . They let me do it without saying a word.. they should tell you that they’re adding the tip in before you pay the bill. I didn’t realize what I did until I got to my car. I had to go back and straighten it out at the restaurant. I have four kids under the age of five. It wasn’t easy for me to do this. When you’re at the table with four kids and you’re trying to pay the bill, you don’t have time to look at it to see that the tip was added in. I gave the Service five stars because I think it was good Service. I just don’t like the idea of that she knew that all this was going on ,and didn’t remind me they had already put the 20% in .”

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

“Gentlemen, my day started out with getting a different car for a friend today, and then checking to see if my mom's house that she grew up in is still on 51 LeBlanc, River Rouge, unfortunately it's no longer standing, so we finished by stopping by for a Lafayette Coney Special, It was the Best Coney Dog and the Service was Awesome, God Bless You All & Thank You, & May Your Business that has been around since 1914, have many more years, Therefore if anyone is traveling through Detroit, MI, make sure you Stop By & Get Yourself a Lafayette Coney Island Special, You Won't Be Disappointed.”

“Tried this place for the first time today! Rider was my server and he was absolutely amazing. Knowledgeable funny and sweet. Genuinely had such a good time just being in his presence and he was very attentive! Tried the flaming fig, although without the jam. Didn't personally find it too spicy without the jam, although my friend found it slightly spicy with the jam. Either way it was the most delicious grilled cheese ever. Great wine selection, and don't be afraid to try the espresso drink made with blood orange soda, it was very good! On the store side of things, there was a great selection of product and the service was great. Will definitely tell as many people as possible about this place and will come again!”

“My husband and I absolutely loved the food! Our server Mikhael was kind, friendly, and very helpful at navigating us through the menu. The whole staff works as a team to provide excellent service. We will definitely be back and recommend!!”

“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!”

“This place is special. Every single member of that team is a real pro and understands how to provide the best customer experience. Fabulous food and accommodating to “special requests.””

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

“Fantastic, fresh and delicious! Mini Greek with a traditional gyro was top notch, we will be back.”

“This place is amazing! The food is delicious the atmosphere is energetic! The staff are all friendly. The Mediterranean salad with a blackened protein is such an excellent explosion of flavor in your mouth. The CAPER BERRIES OMG!!! You have to try this place at least once. And when you do, I guarantee you’ll keep going back!”

“I had a wonderful dining experience. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend the tasting menu paired with the matching beverage. AJ was great.”

“Best fish and chips around. A real treasure. Every one so polite and pleasant. Thank you”

“Amazing, 5 stars all around !”

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

“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 honestly don't know why it has taken me so long to write a review for Alpino because my husband and I love this place so much! It has become my restaurant of choice to celebrate my birthday for many reasons. I love that they keep the beautiful patio open even during the hottest of days (which is usually what it is for my July birthday), they have the best seasonal menu additions that use local ingredients, and their laid back yet elegant charm is exactly what we always look for. The food is amazing! We love unfussy food that lets the quality ingredients shine and the raclette with a touch of honey just makes me grin from ear to ear (not to mention the tomato soup that is out of this world). The Frulingzauber "spring magic" cocktail is my favorite of all time. I would drink one every day for the rest of my life if I could. Of course, none of this would matter if the people weren't wonderful at Alpino, but they are just as warm and inviting as the food. I loved that they all signed a birthday card for me when we were there last. This is definitely a gem of a place that you don't find everywhere.”

“Best place in Detroit and metropolitan area. A true dining experience. Not to be be missed.”
