“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

The Brachetto was another standout and easily one of my favorite bites of the evening. We also tried the Wagyu short rib, which was tender, rich, and the ultimate comfort dish. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. A fantastic experience overall, and definitely a place I’d come back to again.“

“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.“

“All the food looks Fantastic 👌 😍 😋“

“Food was fantastic!
Service well, the waitress was nice and polite but my family had to constantly ask for items, coffee, napkins, drinks. My father asked for a second soup which she never brought, instead she brought his meal and than said ill bring you your soup. Really!!! He wanted it before his main course.
She never checked on us, we had to flag her down.
Probably won't come back anytime soon unfortunately.“

“So, I tried 22 coneys this day and they were in one of the better ones. The business itself was very busy, but the staff was quick and efficient and extremely patient about the questions that I had about their food.

It was awesome to see how well The employees handled the fast-paced environment“

“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!“

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

“Probably the only place where can get breakfast for 2 people for less than $30. This is a casual, no frills spot to grab a quick meal. The food its self was just okay, a little oily, but the portions are good and the food came out really quickly.“

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

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

“I ordered delivery from a service that did not follow directions and never received the order until my neighbor found it outside. I called the establishment and the owner himself delivered the order in 20 minutes. He went above and beyond. I would highly recommend this restaurant with a side note that the food was delicious.“

“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 always incredibly fresh, and their biscuits and gravy are truly out of this world — the kind of dish you think about days later. 😍 The whole place has such a cozy, hip vibe that makes it the perfect spot to start the morning. Great food, great atmosphere, and consistently great experience. Highly recommend! ☕🍳🥐“

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!“

“Went there for the first time for lunch today had the burger and fries. Everything was top-notch prices were really good. Service was great. The old Bar feeling was great in the history that the place has is amazing. Definitely will be back here more often for the delicious burgers and fries.“

“Had a mix up with drive through order, didn't get toppings on veggie burger, turns out employee in trainee. We can understand that.

Harvey's offered to make my next meal experience much better, Thank you for that, comped our combos for the next time we came back to compensate for the inconvenience.
Very appreciated!!
It's not a Harvey's burger without all the toppings on it, you really can't just add at home!
Thank you to Store Manager Amber for a quick reply and fixing the problem asap!“

“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. 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.“

“We were in the neighborhood for an event at Epiphany and were looking for a place to eat and have a drink before the show. We decided to try Zell's Corner based on the location and reviews, and I am so glad we did. The owners were very friendly and welcoming, the food was excellent, and the corner bar atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. When we are in the vicinity again we will definitely be back for the food, cold beer and to say hello to our new friends.“

“Praying ghood karma 2026.. Yes good spelled with an h. You cannot spell good without the hood.“

“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.“

“Lunchtime Global is a great spot for a quick and healthy lunch in downtown Detroit. The restaurant is known for its fresh soups, sandwiches, and salads, making it a nice alternative to typical fast-food options.

I tried a sandwich with a cup of soup, and it was simple but really satisfying. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the portion size was generous. They also have a wide variety of soups made daily, so there’s usually something for everyone.

The atmosphere is casual and perfect for a quick lunch break. Overall, Lunchtime Global is a solid choice if you’re looking for a fresh, light meal in downtown Detroit.“

“Such a cool, historic spot in downtown Detroit! The architecture is amazing, and the food matches the vibe. We tried the chicken and waffles, Grand Pub burger, and the corned beef sandwich. Everything was so good and cooked perfectly. Will absolutely be back!“

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