We were passing through and wanted to have a dinner and jazz experience. Looked this up online and took a chance. Unfortunately, didn’t quite panned out. We were coming from Chicago and was running behind. I called to let them know and whoever answered said no problem. When we got there, I found that they canceled the open table reservation (no big deal but I was concerned they would charge cancellation fee-nothing so far). There was someone playing the piano which was kinda nice. We ordered the dry aged steak which had great flavor but a bit overcooked. The crab cake was fishy and too much breading. The caesar salad was not worth $32. The icing on the cake was the perch had a mouthful of scales☹️. I don’t I’ve been to any decent/upscale restaurants that serve fish with scales. $300+ bill. Not worth it. The next street over has nice restaurants which looked more appetizing.

Don’t know how we have missed this hidden gem! First timers for our Anniversary. We received a historical tour when we arrived and had the absolute BEST waiter, Antonio!!! The steaks were amazing! I loved the zip sauce! Jazz music was a nice extra also. Highly recommend and would definitely go back.

I can’t believe we’ve never been in here until a couple weeks ago. Piano trio and great friendly serve. Their menu has loads of options that aren’t steaks. I enjoyed our evening, our meal and the entertainment.

My husband and I were over joyed by our experience at Caucus Club! We are so glad to have hosted our wedding dinner here as the food, service, and atmosphere were beyond perfect. The owners, Alicia and George, were both so kind and helpful throughout our event planning process and they made sure everything was seamless including linens of our choice, custom menus, meeting our guests dietary restrictions, arranging the Jazz band for our wedding night, coordinating with our day of wedding coordinator, and much more. The restaurant manager, Joey, was also just as helpful! He made sure our timeline at the restaurant aligned with our day-of timeline, allowed us to walk through the restaurant, and answered each of our questions as they came up. My husband and I, as well as each of our guests, could not stop raving about Caucus Club's food and service. The waitstaff were so attentive to each of their tables, as were the valet attendants. Thank you so much Caucus Club for the perfect wedding dinner! We look forward to being back. -The D'Andreas

Top notch place with top notch service. The ambience of the dining room is very romantic. We were lucky enough to dine on a Tuesday evening when it was quiet in the dining room save for the wildly talented pianist, Sasha. What a treat! Our server Shellie was as fabulous as they come. The type of server you HOPE you get when you dine anywhere, but especially a classic steakhouse. We knew right away we were in good hands with Shellie. She was kind, funny, attentive, and her knowledge of the menu and kitchen was outstanding. She also made a very special evening for us (celebrating our engagement anniversary on the cusp of our upcoming wedding in addition to my recent college graduation) even more special but adding a nice touch to our key lime pie. The oysters Rockefeller and goat cheese truffles were to die for. The papardelle bolognese, New York strip, and mashed potatoes were perfect. And the key lime pie was divine. Thank you Shellie, Sasha, and Caucus Club for a perfect, special evening.

Food and service was excellent. Waiter made sure we were taken care of every step of the way and was very knowledgeable of the menu. Atmosphere not bad either. We really enjoyed the calamari, wedge salad and French onion soup. Filet was cooked perfectly med rare and so flavorful. Drinks on point. My date really liked his scallop entrée.

I had an amazing first-time dining experience at The Caucus Club. My friend and I were catching up over dinner, and the ambiance set the perfect tone for a relaxed, elevated evening. Our server, Jay’Qwan, was phenomenal, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we felt taken care of. We started with the crab cake appetizer, which was flavorful and nicely seasoned. I had the seared scallops, which were great too, but the table-side Caesar was a highlight—chef’s kiss, truly one of the best I’ve had. Everything came out at a great pace, and we never felt rushed. The service, food, and atmosphere all came together nicely for a really enjoyable night. We’ll definitely be back.

Highly recommend for a nice night out. They have nice jazz music playing as well as a live piano player. The service we got from our waiter Darryl was the best! Loved my ribeye steak. Wish I took more photos but also enjoyed the fried calamari, Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes as well!

Staff are attentive, engaged and knowledgeable. At-table Caesar salad was entertaining and delicious. Scallops are always tricky but the risotto and fried prosciutto- perfection. Had to sample the holiday drink "Jack Frost." Smooth layering made me want 2 more.

I got the steak and mashed potatoes which were great! I will say the mashed potatoes were probably the best part of the meal, they were seasoned very good. I got my steak medium rare and is was cooked pretty close to that. I wasn't too much of a fan of the Brussel sprouts to be honest. The inside of the restaurant is very nice, and there was a pianist playing. It has pretty dim lighting. The service is fast as well!

Certainly! Here's a draft for your review of the Caucus Club in Detroit: --- **A Night to Remember at the Caucus Club** From the moment our convention party stepped through the doors of the Caucus Club, we knew we were in for an exclusive treat. This Detroit gem, famed for its signature duck shot, welcomed us with open arms for a private group dinner, offering an atmosphere of sophistication and exclusivity as the restaurant was closed to outside service. The evening kicked off with a round of Pastor's excellent cocktails, each a perfect prelude to the culinary delights that awaited us. As we settled into the comfortable and elegant setting, the anticipation grew. The star of the show was undoubtedly the New York strip. Cooked to perfection, it was a beautiful symphony of flavors that danced on the palate, a testament to the Caucus Club's reputation for its in-house steaks. Each bite was a reminder of why this place is a cut above the rest. While the dessert didn't quite hit the high notes as the rest of the meal, it was a pleasant enough finale to a remarkable dining experience. It may have been just average, but it did little to diminish the luster of the evening. In all, the Caucus Club stands as a beacon of fine dining in Detroit. Whether it's for the famous duck shot or the beautifully crafted New York strip, this establishment promises an unforgettable experience that leaves you yearning for your next visit.

Ordered 4 steak frites; one NY Strip; Mac and cheese; and calamari as appetizer. Steaks are prepared utilizing wood fire which cook very well. But, provides an unusual smoked smell to meats. Mac and cheese was not from your family kitchen but, nonetheless it was moist and cheesy. The service ( provided by Brandon) was top notch; very attentive; precise; patient; and courteous. The absolute best in the area. The atmosphere was very pleasant with a low medium noise level. Cost attendant was also the best in area.

This place is so overrated. It was our second time, second lackluster meal. The ahi tuna appetizer was good, the French onion soup was so salty it made me wince. Then came my filet... I should've know when the table next to us sent their steaks back to be cooked more. I cut into the middle and it looked okay.. I guess I should've looked a little better because I took one bite to realize it was very rare. I wasn't about to send it back to just get it ruined by overcooking this time. It didn't matter anyway, it was the most over seasoned steak I've ever had. I ate two bites and that was the end of my meal. Our almost $500 meal was worth about $100. This is not a high end steak house. The service is good but it ends there.

THE BEST DINNER WE HAVE EVER HAD IN DETROIT! Alan was an amazing server and treated us so so well!!! We had an absolutely amazing dinner and loved EVERYTHING! Our tartar was the best we've ever had... and we've had a lot! The table side Caesar was so delicious. It was so lemony, garlicky, and herby! The French onion had the THICKEST coat of cheese is was insanely good. The lobster bisque was a little saltier, but that's a lobster bisque for you and it was still 9/10! THE MAC AND CHEESE IS A MUST. Our Kansas City was cooked perfectly especially being it was a thick cut! We got zip sauce too, and it was the best zip ever. The vibe was so fun, sophisticated, and we loved the live music! Alan was such an amazing server as well!

Fantastic spot! Classy, upscale, romantic! The music is perfect to help set the mood. Service is stellar! Antonio was our waiter and he was the best! He gave us an Italian charm! The staff in general was welcoming from beginning to end! Food, the food was phenomenal, it truly was. When you come here it is not just to eat, but the whole experience, you come for the experience. There is a dress code, business casual. Parking is nearby and there is valet! Highly recommend Caucus Club for a great dining experience in Detroit!

The atmosphere at this place is second to none. Jazzy. Low key. Perfect for a date night. The food, leaves a lot to be desired. More on the pricey side but everything seemed just mediocre. From the tuna tartare, steaks, ribs, and even the fish fingers dish that the server highly recommended. I would go here for a pre dinner drink in the future.

Best steak in Detroit. Try the bone in Kansas City strip. Add the garlic butter or gluten free zip sauce. Great pescatarian options too. Good wine selection and wellers on the shelf.

Food and service were both extremely excellent! And would have given 5 stars if not for the call I got previously to my evening. The employee warned me about the dress code and we did wear a suit & tie my wife wore a dress. And to my amazement and complete disappointment more than one couple came in wearing jeans shirt hanging out. If you're going to have a dress code then enforce it or don't have one! The owner liked the review but didn't address the issue. $$$ means more than customer satisfaction. Dress however you want to go here....

Wow, again Caucus Club delivers on service, ambiance, and food. We are leaving the Detroit area and had to have one last meal in town and Caucus Club was our selection and boy, did they deliver... JQ was an impeccable, talented and timely waiter who made the best table side caesar salad we've had in years! The Maitre D, Matthew Soloman, was friendly, welcoming and went over and beyond by taking us through the restaurant sharing some memorabilia of the past and showing us the salt room where they dry age the beef...very interesting. Live piano music topped the evening with classic songs... Highly recommend!

Best meal and service in Detroit! I was visiting Detroit for the first time for a wedding and was very impressed by the service at caucus club from the coat check person to the bussers. The waiter was not only very efficient, but knowledgeable and friendly as well. I chose steak since this is a steak house, and it was perfectly seasoned and cooked to my preference of bleu (very very rare). Even the sides of Brussel sprouts and mashed potato were perfectly done. They didn't have élit vodka, but they had so many other top shelf brands that I had no trouble choosing a substitute. If you only eat at one place in Detroit, eat here!

The hospitality was gracious. The food was honest & cooked beautifully. They pour a great Martini. The atmosphere is great for a special night out; opulent but not stuffy. This is a great example of what a well-run chophouse should look like.

Visited yesterday for a birthday dinner. The service was very good. The food was pricy for the quality received. My main complaint was the 80$ ribeye steak. It was grey colored, dry and tough. My server was great and I didn't want to complain again after it was originally served very rare when I asked for medium. Lost my appetite after a few bites. Accompaniment dishes were good.

11-23-2023 We came with our son on Tgiving, and unfortunately it started out poorly when my son was given a jacket to wear. I had already told him it was a place that had a dress code and he came in a NICE shirt and pants BUT no collar, so thus the jacket. That put a damper on things. But the food was very good, we ordered the traditional turkey etc and we had plenty to munch on for the next couple days. My son got the Osso Buco, which he liked. Our server, Dexter, was attentive and fun. Ambiance was warm, old school.

Expensive but worth it. The taste matches the cost. So for that I am happy. Seemed a bit understaffed. Great quick convo with the owners nephew. PROS: Food tastes great! Timely CONS: Waiter was scarce No close alternative to valet parking

Give me a C...C!!! Give me a aucus....aucus!!! Give me a club...club!!! What's that spell!!! Yum yummy yummy kinds of Food!!!! Seriously, this steak and chops emporium off of Congress has been serving up simply stellar food since way before I was born. But I will say that whether your a Boomer, Gen X, Gen Z or Gen Gen, you will leave full and feeing good..let's call it Gen wow! Time for a great service shout out. Allen, Allen was amazing, good at conversational serving, meaning he joined in when appropriate and made awesome suggestions all night long. Funny dude that gets our weird pop culture references. So, ask for ALLEN! What else, good drinks, wine list is one of the more complete and reasonable from a price standpoint, lots of choices across all tastes. I think we had a Bandol, Domaine Tempier, stellar! So ask for AlLeN, get you some steak, drink the night away, then join the piano man in a song or two, you won't be disappointed!!!!

Our favorite steakhouse in Detroit! The food is always amazing and the ambiance is very nice. The lobster bisque is so buttery and creamy. The filet and zip is the best I always order extra zip sauce. The Mac and cheese is also great. The chocolate torte is veryyy chocolatey and yummy. Our server Antonio was so nice and attentive! We recommend this restaurant to everyone!

I first came here for the Auto Show Charity Preview in 2019 and had a great (crowded, fun, loud) experience. I have wanted to come back since then for a "normal dining experience" and now that COVID has eased up a bit and we're vaccinated, it was time to check it out for an anniversary dinner. My first advice - please dress up. People who wandered in off the street in shorts or jeans really looked out-of-place. The sign on the door says business casual or better, and it helps the ambiance if everyone respects that, even if they don't technically kick you out or refuse service. We showed up half an hour early (6pm) because we wanted to sit at the bar and try a cocktail. The bartender was an absolute delight - I can't remember the name of the bourbon drink I tried, but it was excellently prepared and presented, and strong enough that I didn't need wine with dinner. I hardly set down my empty water glass (parched from a Riverfront walk in the 84 degree weather) before the bartender refilled it. First-class service. We moved to the dining room close to our reservation time and were promptly seated. I was surprised it wasn't packed at 6:30pm on a Saturday night! (Although it was almost packed by the time we left at 7:30pm) We were famished, having skipped lunch because we had a list of things we wanted to try. We split the lobster bisque and an order of calamari. Both were amazing. The bisque had pieces of lobster, was decadent and creamy, and salty without being overpowering. I would order it again in a second. The calamari was a generous portion for the price, soft and flash-fried, with a delicious caper-based sauce. My entree was lake perch. I know this is primarily a dry-aged steak restaurant, but I'm trying to limit my red meat intake and lake perch is my favorite seafood of all time, so I had to go with it. The presentation was phenomenal (my photo doesn't even do it justice), and the flavors were fantastic. If I were to list qualms, neither of which is worthy of deducting a star, it's that the caper-lemon-butter sauce was almost identical to what was on the calamari, so I got a repeat of some of the same flavors, and the haricots verts (fancy speak for green beans) needed seasoning/salt. My partner ordered crème brûlée and it was fantastic. The server, John, was friendly, charismatic, full of information about the menu, and checked on us with just the right frequency. One mark of a well-oiled machine is that all courses show up just when you start to wonder about them, and this was true with Caucus Club. The live music was great! Piano player and a singer who could scat sing. Nice gentle background for our delicious dinner. It's a pricey dinner. But if you didn't know that, why are you on their page? We spent about $120 for dinner (with 2 appetizers & dessert), and $180 total including drinks and tips. I think the experience-to-cost ratio was about right, so no complaints there. The next time I am fortunate enough to find myself downtown with the right attire, I plan to revisit Caucus Club and try one of their steaks.

Stepping into the Caucus Club is like stepping into a time machine, and there's a good reason for that. The Penobscot building where the restaurant is located was built in 1927. Stepping in off the street, you go through a revolving door. There is hardly anybody here, which isn't hard to believe. Besides being a relic from a bygone age, there's nothing at the street level to draw you in. And, that's a real shame. There is really a lot to like about this place. Everything is immaculate. There is an army of smartly-dressed workers to attend to your every need. Jazz plays over the speakers. It all works to transport you back to the 1950s. As for the food, know this: butter is your friend. Any vegetable you get will be swimming in it. The mashed potatoes are nicely buttered. The dauphinoise potatoes are a glorious symphony of Parmesan cheese and butter. And, you start out with freshly baked bread - still steaming hot - and a side of butter. The lobster bisque is thick and creamy and nicely seasoned, but had only two tiny flecks of actual lobster. The Scottish salmon has a gorgeous bourbon glaze, but the rice with walnuts is an acquired taste. It seemed overly sweet at first, but we grew to like it. The halibut is perfectly cooked and seasoned, but a bit on the small side. The buttery vegetables are a nice compliment, however. Prices are steep for the cocktails; my wife got a beautiful drink that set us back $14. Beer was reasonable, however, ranging from $6 to $8 a pint. If you're looking for somewhere you can slow things down a bit, where you can take that special someone for a wonderful dining experience, then this is the place.

The Caucus Club is very special to me. 36 years ago I proposed to my wife at the Caucus Club. We frequented the place in the late eighties and early nineties when we worked downtown. It was fabulous then. It's a shame it was closed for many years but it reopened better than it used to be. My wife and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary there. It was amazing. From cocktails to appetizers to the classic table side ceasar salad to entrees to dessert everything was the best. We were treated so well from a special anniversary card and dessert. The service is phenomenal, the food is phenomenal, we could not have had a better experience. I would strongly recommend this place to everyone.

Him and Ron walked us to a bar for we could have an after dinner drink. Extra Mile! Ron was great and he went above and beyond. The food, had the filet, cooked perfectly! The garlic mashed potatoes were off the charts. Key lime pie - whoa! The jazz band there, so friendly and played so well. The whole vibe was amazing!!! You need to go! So happy we went.

Nice upbeat piano accompaniment for our meal tonight. The paper menu is ours to keep. We were seated at a half booth on the back wall. Karen is waiting on us. She seems pleasant and is double masked, has a cool and shiny, blingy silver mask. I started with a mojitoesque mocktail, goat cheese truffle, table side Caesar, half oysters on the half shell, lobster bisque, calamari, crab cakes and blackened Scottish salmon is what we ordered for our meal tonight. The warm bread was out shortly after our apps and starters were ordered. It's chewy, soft and billowy and tasty, carb worthy for sure. The 3 goat cheese balls, toast point and salads is delicious. The dressing and salad is refreshing, slightly tart from the vinaigrette dressing. The lobster bisque is creamy, delicate, flavorful and beautiful. I also like the hint of chive garnish too. The tableside Caesar salad was average, dressing is a bit flat, bland and not enough bite from the lemon, may have been better with some achovies, shot of hot sauce or worchestershire even. The salad wasn't worth the $28 for the two of us. The romaine lettuce leaves are a bit brown and burnt too. Karen asked how the salad was. I told her it was okay, that the dressing is bland and the lettuce is brown too. She replied oh. The east coats oysters are clean, smooth and lovely. This was my favorite part of my meal. The calamari is nicely flash fried, slightly chewy, sauce is a bit tart and refreshing. The breading a bit heavy but not bad. I do love the capers, it adds a unique taste and balance. The Scottish salmon was perfectly cooked, the rainbow Swiss chard is a nice meal balance too. The crab cakes were quite good, crispy and crab filled. Would have liked a more flavorful sauce than the tomato based sauce. Even the sauce for the calamari sauce tastes better to me than what it came with. The food was good, minus the Caesar, the service here is absolutely fantastic, from start to finish.

Always an outstanding experience at the Caucus Club. Fantastic waitstaff. The food is consistent and always wonderful. We had the Burrata Caprese. Such a refreshing appetizer that's incredibly fresh. We also enjoyed the Oysters Rockefeller. A classic that you just cannot go wrong with. I enjoyed the salmon as my entree. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned. A side of macaroni was terrific. Cheesy, comforting and fresh - just as it should be. For dessert, a warm cappuccino - served with sugar cubes! A nice touch. A pianist plays in the background as you enjoy the classy atmosphere paired with a terrific experience. Great for a date, special occasion in the dining room, or just an evening out with some friends, where you can hang out at the bar.

For an extra special Valentine's date, I headed somewhere historic with the beau to celebrate the day. Rather than face the chaos of going the night of St Valentine's, we deferred until we could enjoy a relaxed evening and headed to the motor city. He picked out the Caucus Club, a place that is experiencing a renaissance along with the city of Detroit, and which may be most famous for helping Barbra Streisand get her start. We arrived for our late dinner and were promptly seated. A pianist played some jazz-inspired music and a pleasant din of conversation and cutlery pervaded the atmosphere. Our friendly server, Kelsea, took our drink orders, and we were also ready to order food by the time she came over. I went with a filet mignon and a side of the creamed spinach. While we waited for our meal, we enjoyed some tasty hot bread. My filet was cooked to a perfect medium, and flavored just right. I tried to take the smallest bites that I could to savor it even longer! The creamed spinach was a size enough for two, and we enjoyed splitting it between us that evening. Neither of us had room for dessert, but we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at the Caucus Club. I hope that I will be lucky enough to return sometime soon!

I spent Valentines Day evening here & it was 100% 10s across the board!! Compliments to the chef that evening. We happened to run into him outside & he was very kind. For starters I didn't want to share my starters; Oyster Rockefeller & lobster bisque. Main course we both had filets but chose different butters(compound or truffle)...almost cried. The cheesecake & tiramisu were to die for'n the The live band & singer gave the entire restaurant an exceptional ambiance. I'll be back for the table side Caesar, the old fashions, and Drew's excellent service as well!

2023: This place just doesn't miss. The appetizers, including the tuna tartar, coconut shrimp, meat balls, and calamari, were all delicious. The entrees, the tomahawk ribeye and porterhouse steaks were cooked to perfection. The sides, Mac and cheese and twice baked potato, added to the fantastic meal. The highlight of the meal was the table-side banana foster for dessert. Joe, the skipper of the joint wheeled over a cart and prepared dessert right before our very eyes. Our waiter, Drew, was very attentive and made the night enjoyable. Overall, I had a great time with amazing food and exceptional service. I highly recommend the Caucus Club and will be back in the future..

Just had an anniversary dinner at the caucus club and was absolutely blown away with the experience. Food was very good. The wife and I split a porterhouse steak that was perfectly sliced and was preceded by a table side preparation of ceasar salad. Wait staff was attentive without being overbearing. Cocktails were very good. Wine list is varied and has plenty of options at every price point. Jazz pianist playing live. Varied crowd of large groups celebrating and couples enjoying an intimate dinner. Valet service for cars was effortless and added to final bill which is a plus. Just a lot of positives makes a really nice option for dinner downtown in a classic restaurant. Great doorman too!

Alan was the highlight of our night - he was a fantastic waiter; incredibly attentive, funny, and thoughtful. The food was excellent, though I wish there was some wagyu available that evening, I was really in the mood for it! I heard they had some Australian wagyu the week prior. Missed out... oh well. We haven't gone out to a nice restaurant since the start of the pandemic, so I was hoping to spurge a little more. The Barbara Streisand drink (at Alan's recommendation) was also excellent. The ambience was nice, but the dining room was pretty empty, and I always find that a bit awkward if we're the only ones in a dining room for a good portion of the evening. Some people appreciate that, though... not necessarily a bad thing. It was 7pm on a weeknight, however. The food selection and wine/drink list is definitely one of the best I've seen around. No live entertainment that evening, but I bet it's quite the place to be when there is... Will definitely return, next time on a weekend!

Had an event here with 19 friends. The service was incredible. Dexter was the perfect waiter! He provided guidance when requested and did not steer us wrong. They ran out of the biscotti cake before we could order it. Dexter encouraged us to return saying it was the best cake he ever tasted and holy smokes! We returned and he did not exaggerate. What an amazing pastry chef! I should also mention the original cosmo with gin made by Shelly was also a highlight. Excellence in service! High quality dishes! Perfect for your next celebration or party! The place has the feel of an old school fancy restaurant from the early 20th century or at least what I would hope one feels like.

I went here for my bday dinner. My hubby and I love to try new places, or places new to us. We have been all over the world. This year, we thought we would try Caucus Club. I can honestly say, hands down, one of the worst meals of my life. I ordered my filet medium. NOT med rare, but medium. They sent it the first time and it was rare. Very disappointed. Strike one. Then they sent it out charred on the outside and still med rare inside. Strike two. I couldn't do a third time. So. I just had a twice baked potato. Yes, that is it. They apologized. I do appreciate that. It isn't the servers fault. But, wow. I will never go here. Ever. Again. You thoroughly ruined my 47th birthday.

The flavor of the meat is Delicious. The pie was so tangy and good the drinks not so much but i dont know if that was because of the limited staff and with everything going on with the pandemic at the moment. But it was nice to be out of the house enjoying a meal

Both the meal and the service here made for such an incredible experience that this is now my #1 favorite place! Our server Jahqwan was so knowledgeable about the menu and has a fantastic energy about him that makes you feel comfortable and taken care of. Ask for Jahqwan when you make your reservation! Atmosphere is dim and intimate Recommendations that we ordered: -Calamari - the sauce this comes in is a game changer -Crab cakes - big, fluffy -Mac and Cheese - so creamy! -Cream of corn - tastes like home -18 Oz bone in rib eye *order it Oscar style: comes with sliced crab and Parmesan on a bed of asparagus and WOW the addition is SO worth it* -Garlic mashed potatoes - need I say more -Carrots were so tender and deliciously seasoned that your taste buds could confuse them for delicious potatoes My Drinks: -Tiffany and Co - refreshing and my favorite of the two! -Cosmopolitan - classic with that great little tart flavor but still smooth Boyfriend's Drinks: -French 75 - amazing, delicious, aromatic, gin and Prosecco -Old Fashioned - classic

The Caucus club is an OG in the Detroit dining scene and for good reason. This steak house has been an institution in Detroit and continues to be a hidden gem among the locals. When you walk through the doors of the restaurant you are greeted by white a table cloth adorned dining room. although this place has an "old school" vibe don't let it fool you...the food does not disappointment. Everything we ordered at the restaurant was delicious and prepared with precision. We started the meal with the grilled wedge salad. Although it appears to be a simple slice of Roman lettuce, the greens are grilled which adds a richness to the dish. It is topped with a crispy piece of prosciutto that adds a heartiness to the dish. Instead of being sprinkled with blue cheese, a zesty blue cheese dressing adorns the veggies; this relieves the salad of the "funkiness" that blue cheese can have. We next decided to order the wagyu strip and the scallops. The steak and scallops were both cooked impeccably and they were adorned with flavourful sauces. Additionally Each dish had a hearty helping of veggies that complimented the proteins. The vegetables were all grilled to "fork tender" and seasoned perfectly. If you are looking for trendy vibes, unfortunately the caucus club has more or a sophisticated feel, but the exceptional food and drink outweigh the traditional atmosphere.

The Caucus Club is definitely one of the finest restaurants in Detroit. Modern yet old-school vibe in the decor. Live piano music on Fridays and Saturdays at just the right volume. The service and the food are fantastic. Our server was Darryl, who is a true pro. We remembered him from his days at City Kitchen; it was nice to see him again. We ordered a Caesar salad which he prepared at our table. It was perfect. The shrimp cocktail came with five large shrimp. My filet was cooked to perfection and the garlic mashed potatoes were great as well and enough to share. Huge wine list and classic cocktails...just a perfect experience. This was our first time dining here since it reopened several years ago, but we will definitely return.

This was actually 3.5 for me but I rounded up. We came here last night for my sister in law's birthday. The service was excellent. They were prompt and all so friendly. Our glasses were never empty. They cleared plates quickly to make room for more. The servers did a great job! Especially for a party our size. It was the food that was a tad underwhelming for me. We started with the shrimp and the meatballs. The shrimp were wonderful and the accompanying sauce was perfect. The meatballs fell short for me, not much flavor and the texture was just too soft. The oysters we had next were very fresh and although not my favorite dish, i did eat a couple and enjoyed them more than i thought i would. They could use some horseradish though. Most of us ordered filet mignon and i will say that everyones steak was cooked perfectly, exactly the temperature that they asked for. The flavor was a bit disappointing to me though, i could taste the grill if that makes sense? Almost a propane taste, it was odd. The sides were excellent. Lastly we had tiramisu and chocolate torte which were both delicious as well. I would definitely return but maybe try some different menu options next time

We had not been to the Caucus Club in 40 years. We will not wait that long to return. An exceptional dinner. The room is elegant and very comfortable. The tables are nicely spaced so you are never too close to your fellow diners. Antonio was our waiter and the service was excellent - half empty glasses immediately refilled and dirty dishes quickly removed. Antonio prepared a table side Caesar salad that was both light and delicious. I had scallops and my wife had chicken Scallopini. The scallops were perfectly cooked and my wife said it was the best chicken she remembers eating. For desert my wife had a chocolate torte that was otherworldly. Just a fantastic dinner. Unbeknownst to us, a jazz trio plays on Saturday evenings - a piano, stand up bass and drum. They were excellent and the music truly elevated the experience. We stayed an extra 20 minutes just listening to the trio. All the way home we talked about how wonderful our evening had been. Great food, fantastic service, elegant room, soulful jazz and a warm, comfortable ambience = exceptional evening. My new favorite restaurant.
