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

“First time here! Loved the atmosphere & vibe. Food & drinks were good although over-priced like everywhere these days. The BEST part of my experience was the friendliness of the staff! Sean, pictured here wasn’t even our main waiter but interacted with us, helped us out, & even gave us an extra cheers 🥂 before we headed to the Bruno Mara concert! Sean TY SOOOO MUCH!!! You made my night & gave me a forever wonderful memory! Shout out to our waiter Donovan too😁“

“These were hearty portions! They were not afraid to experiment with flavors and everything felt fresh and locally sourced.y favorite item was the salad, which is something I rarely, if ever say. I liked the casual vibe that was half fancy restaurant vs half butcher shop (although there was also a bar on the butcher shop side). Even better female butcher/owner/chef....
I am not someone who craves meat but I will come back to see whatever tasty concoctions that the team comes up with.“

“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!“

“Just had my first visit to The Townhouse, and it was fantastic! From the moment I walked in, the service blew me away. Everyone was super attentive, professional, and welcoming, but Raegan really stood out. She knew the menu like the back of her hand, gave thoughtful recommendations, and her friendly energy made me feel right at home. Honestly, she turned a first-time visit into an experience I won’t forget anytime soon. The vibe of the restaurant combined with that kind of service makes it feel special without being stuffy. Between the food, the staff, and Raegan’s energy, I’m officially a fan. Can’t wait to come back, try more dishes, and enjoy another evening like this!“

“Literally the best breakfast sammich I’ve consumed. I’ve had several attempts to recreate this at other diners & they ALL fail in comparison.“

We had a great time in here for my partner’s birthday, definitely will be back!“

“Amazing Brunch on the weekend. Will go back everyone on staff were amazing. Great service.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Zeff’s Coney Island is a little gem hidden in the heart of Eastern Market! I’ve been coming here for 20 years, and this place doesn’t miss a beat. The food is always consistently good, which keeps me coming back. My favorite item on the menu is the Greek omelette with feta, tomatoes, and onions – it’s simply delicious! The gyro meat is the perfect blend of lamb and spices, making it a must-try.

The portions are generous; I often cut mine into thirds and enjoy it for several days. If you’re looking for a reliable spot with great food, Zeff’s is the place to be!

My girls love the huge pancakes and my oldest enjoyed her omelet. Plus, I enjoyed my breakfast with the best side of thick juicy ham this is served in the city of Detroit. Period. Excellent experience“

“Went Sunday and got the Marshall's Spaghetti Sandwich Was Delicious! Only thing I wish was Different was The way you Order lol getting Cold in Michigan to be standing in a alley while the wind cuts right through you lmfao. Definitely Will Be Back Though 🤟🏼“

“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!“

“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!“

“The atmosphere was approximately 5 farts per square foot“

“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.“

“Five stars easily. The Detroit Club is more than just a restaurant or hotel, it’s an experience from the moment you walk through the doors. The energy is warm, elevated, and welcoming, and the entire space is absolutely beautiful. The aesthetics, ambiance, and attention to detail make it feel timeless and intentional.
I was dining alone, and one of the chefs, Chef Tony Rave, personally came out to check on me, which honestly made the experience feel even more special. That level of hospitality and care stands out. The food was incredible, flavorful, fresh, and beautifully done.
Wonderful atmosphere, amazing service, and genuinely delicious food. A place that makes you feel welcomed the moment you arrive.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“The food was absolutely delicious and perfectly seasoned. I really appreciated that they let you sample different soups before purchasing it which made choosing so much easier. The staff is extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which adds to the overall great experience. The music selection was on point, and the restaurant itself was clean, comfortable, and inviting. I’ll definitely be back!“

“✨ 5-Star Breakfast Spot! ✨ We absolutely love having breakfast here. 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! ☕🍳🥐“

“Like most places in Detroit, especially during the winter time I originally thought it might be a dive bar, but turned out. I was only half right one of the best breakfasts I had visiting my family in the area, The sausage gravy was Seasoned very well on the biscuits and gravy eggs were fluffy And the only time I have ever enjoyed home fries, crispy on the outside fluffy and soft in the middle.“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing sliders and very friendly staff. love having the assortment. made for 3 happy kids too. would definitely drive the 6hrs just for green dot stables !!!“

“I recommend the meat lover's potato. it was loaded with pepperoni,sausage, bacon and I believe ham. also there was a garlic butter on it that was delicious.“

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

“Views! Views! And Views!The Detroit Renaissance Center is my favorite building ever! It was love at first site when I saw the venue space of 42° North? The staff were amazing! They addressed all our needs and wants. Our guests raved about the hors d'oeuvres and dinner that Chef Dobie and his staff provided...absolutely delicious! The room suites were large enough for hair and makeup! Truly the best day ever! ?“

“We've always had a great time here , service and food always amazing , I'm sure things were off this day we went . Our server was barely at our table and rushed off anytime we asked for something without asking the whole table . Food was good but some of the pastas lacked sauce . They had to give half off one of my friends meals. But will always come back :)“

“All the food looks Fantastic 👌 😍 😋“

“My boyfriend and I had a memorable romantic date while experiencing the Chef Tasting at the Ambassador Golf Club Tuscan Grill. After describing our preferred palate to Chef Dan, he prepared the best meal we have ever had. Our waitress was more than hospitable and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Chef’s tasting to anyone looking for a romantic setting and an elegant dinner.“

“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 old fashioned diner is wonderful and not to be missed! The breakfast menu offers everything you could want from homemade sausage (delicious), to omelets, perfect Belgian waffles and pancakes, classic eggs Benedict and biscuits and gravy. The eggs were fresh and perfectly prepared. The diner is very clean, the service is the best from Layla. This is a family owned business and deserves your support! All the food was delicious with very reasonable prices. You will not be disappointed.“

“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!“

“Service is always impeccable!! Food is excellent, fresh and clean!! Everything is so consistently delicious!! Hand cut fries, fresh grease, all seafood and chicken A-1, hush puppies and coleslaw always good!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“
