Where to find French cuisine in Detroit - Eater Detroit

"More than 23 years in, this New Center spot continues to lead the way in Detroit with regard to high-end French dining. Classique is king here, with creative, yet traditional approaches to dishes like the sauteed foie gras — served with a tangy cranberry relish and grape jelly toast points. For something heartier, try the sous vide beef tenderloin, accompanied by mushroom duxelles, potato cake, and a rich beef demi-glace. With ample wine and cocktail options, you’re bound to find the ideal pairing. Cuisine offers a limited three-course prix fixe menu on Fisher Theatre performance nights." - Will Reaume

The place has a very great ambience very different from regular restaurants. The location is great with plenty of parking around. Our server was great and the food was great. The speed and the service in general was good. Would have preferred a larger menu but the one that was presented as the theatre menu had dishes that we did enjoy. The drinks felt slightly water downed because of too much ice. Will return sometime again and try a la carte menu, if available.

My first Valentine's Day at Cuisine! The menu had so many flavorful things to choose from. Starting with the salad, black truffle risoto, beef sirloin, oysters and finishing with Rachel's bon bon's! Delightfully delicious and palatable! I highly recommend Cuisine and Chef Paul, Sous Chef Jordan, Pastry Chef Rachel, and Nancy, our Server....they are all incredible people who love what they do!

The staff are extremely nice & professional. The atmosphere was cozy & cute. I ordered the soft shell crab. Not only was it extremely tiny, it simply wasn't good. I did tell the waitress & she apologized but nothing was offered in place off & nothing was taken off the bill. The sides I ordered were decent. My Sister/Friend ordered the Lamb Chops. They came more rare than she likes. We realized they forgot to ask her how she likes them cooked. We split them (I like them the way they were cooked) I'd say, give it a try, if nothing else, for the atmosphere but if something is not right, ask & send it back. We didn't do that but should have (my friend had to get to her mom, so we had to go)

Looking for a special place for my girl’s birthday and nailed it. The food, service and atmosphere were all perfect. Rich was our server for the night and he made a very enjoyable evening for us. The cocktails and Rich’s wine recommendations for our dinner were perfect. The food was amazing and the perfect proportion amount of food so you can enjoy all that the amazing chef has to offer. We had tuna , oysters and Brussels sprouts for appetizers and sea bass and lamb entrees. 10/10. We are not normally desert eaters but it was her birthday and crazy good with a great presentation.

Yesterday we enjoyed the Cuisine Theatre Menu prior to an evening performance at the Fisher Theatre, which is located just across the street from the restaurant. The food was excellent, the service was elegant, and the decor quite attractive. The spring salad was outstanding. Not inexpensive, but the prices were in line with the quality. I expect we will return the next time we see a show at the Fisher.

Cuisine Restaurant is a cozy and elegant place that offers contemporary French-American cuisine with a European touch. The menu changes seasonally and features a variety of dishes, from appetizers and salads to entrees and desserts. The chef-owner Paul Grosz is an award-winning culinary artist who showcases his skills and creativity in every plate. The wait staff is attentive and friendly, and the wine list is impressive. We had the pan grilled trout is phenomenal.

Been there a many times and it does not disappoint. Always delicious and convenient for Fisher theatre performances. Service is wonderful. The theatre menu is a great way to try dishes. Love that they have a few choices for white Bordeaux wines.

My New Year's eve 2020 started great! I was visiting my bf's family. They were very happy to see me and wanted to treat me to some great local food. Since last year they had a great experience with Cuisine they decided to have dinner there this year again. The only dishes that I liked were the lobster bisque soup and pasta with caviar. Everything else was not worth the money charged. Especially the desserts. It tasted like they didn't make them by themselves but just bought them. Overall I would give this place a better review if they didn't charge around $600 for 4 people...so expensive for such poor food. I remember when me and my bf were at White Rabbit in Moscow for 2019 New Year's eve. He also paid 150 per person but that was ELITE food.

We picked this restaurant because of its location. We were immediately impressed with the service and relaxed ambience of Cuisine. I ordered the Tuna Rossini and the Lobster Broccoli Cheddar soup. I loved them both.

We read that Cuisine was featuring a new happy hour. We love happy hour, and absolutely wanted to check it out. This is a very old building. Interesting architecture. I would have loved to see it in all its glory! When we walked in I was struck by the scent. It's hard to describe but it reminded me of my grandmother's home. Not a bad scent. A welcoming one. But it definitely smelled old and comfortable There were plenty of places to dine. This is a great spot for romantic date. We sat at the zinc bar. Named after the material used for the bar top. We sat at our preferred spot, the bar, and ordered drinks. Happy hour included an interesting pickled platter and mixed nuts. We didn't try any other food but the menu was quite impressive. I would absolutely recommend this place for a date. Be aware that it's pricey. But worth it. To me, it's all about the experience.

Been enjoying summertime happy hour with wine and apps on the patio for 2 years. Last night attended the Chevy Dealers/Freep Top 10 Takeover dinner with 3 other couples. 5 stars for food, service, and ambiance. Excellent tuna tartar, exceptional corn and crab soup, perfect sous vide beef tenderloin, and delicious cherry tart. The baker makes the best bread in Detroit. Attentive service from our server, greeter and sommelier Keegan. Decor is vintage mid century grill room with lots of wood and quiet enough to hear one another. Great value aand a quality experience.

We went to dinner here before heading to the DSO. We decided against the Prix Fixe because we were worried about being able to make it through all the courses. We started with the raw oysters and the strawberry mignonette, which were spectacular. I had the duck with strawberries, which was quite good. I didn't care for the rice that came with it, so I was glad we also ordered the Brussels sprouts. The Brussels sprouts were ok--not the best I've had, but not terrible. My boyfriend had the soft shell crab, which I found delicious, but salty. I was glad we got the Grand Marnier soufflé for dessert--it was just the perfect bit of sweet to follow our meal and went well with the port we got to go with it. Service was very attentive as there were very few people in there. This restaurant is in a cute old house, and I loved the room we were seated in as it was nicely intimate.

I went for my birthday. So lovely. They change AND IRON the table cloths between guests. The crab & corn chowder is MIND BLOWINGLY delicious with BIG chunks of crab. I had the halibut with Chateau Ducasse 2022 Bordeaux Blanc. Fabulous. My date had the duck which was served with an amazing black wild rice & cherries.

This place is really close to the theater. And the food is always delicious. I'm so glad they survived the pandemic. They have amazing items on the menu and I go as often as I can. If you live in Detroit, you should eat here at least once.

I made reservations and we were greeted and seated immediately. This restaurant is in a converted home and is just lovely. The house was decorated discreetly for the holidays and low Christmas music played quietly. Our server, Alison, was extremely responsive, yet unobtrusive. My friend asked for a citrus mocktail and had it nearly instantly. There was a prix fixe for this dinner for $68 with plenty of choices. I had the Salad of Lyon and the Australian Lamb Chops, which were cooked to perfection! I've never had such tender and flavorful lamb before. We shared the Roasted Radishes with Honey and Salt, which came family style. Followed by the Eggnog Ice Cream with Peppermint Cookie, also delicious. A wonderful meal all around.

Charming french restaurant close to Fisher theater. Outside seating. Fabulously prepared food. Highly recommend the oysters, duck, and scallops. The carrots and burrata were noteworthy, as well. We will definitely return.

This was such a great find! We went for a Valentine's Day date and despite it being such a busy/stressful day for restaurants, we received great service. From the time we walked up to the cute blue house, we felt the cozy, home-y vibes. The menu was a multi-course selection prepared specially for the holiday and was amazing. The sous vide beef tenderloin was cooked to perfection. Seriously, it is so difficult to find a true medium-rare and this hit the nail on the head. We also ordered the tuna tartare appetizer and a crab soup we were still talking about the next day! Even the desert was great and creative. Everyone was also sent home with scones just as an added touch. We're looking forward to our next trip here.

I was not impress by no means. The tuna tartare was great. Had the lamb chops which is my favorite meat-- very bland. The vegetables were half cooked. There's a nice patio section outside but the gnats were everywhere. I guess the waiter forgot about me because I had to go inside to cash out and the place wasn't busy at all. Would not go back.

To celebrate my birthday, since I'm obviously worth it, I picked an expensive restaurant that I hadn't tried before. This is a French restaurant. I was in France right before Covid hit the United States, in February 2020. I ate a lot of French food. This had better be good. I mean, it's my birthday! And, it was good. Very good. It looks like a delightful French country house when you approach. How charming. It did feel a bit like I was back in Paris. I know: shut up about going to France, Rob! I probably shouldn't tell you about Rome, too, on the same trip. Anyway, Cuisine is very good. But, not without its quirks. We ordered duck fat french fries. Of course we did: I'm not made of stone. And, indeed, the fries were spectacularly crunchy and flavorful. They were served with some weird, obviously "French" sauce: a sort of balsamic flavored sauce. Not bad, but we wanted ketchup. WE WERE TOLD THEY HAD TO MAKE THE KETCHUP. Oh, how very "French" of you! We've been through this before, and got a weird tomato sauce thing. This time, what they brought tasted great. Then, I realized, I was eating Heinz ketchup. There's no way the kitchen could have replicated the exact combination of vinegar, spices, and smooth processing to deliver a sauce that tasted exactly like the only ketchup you ever want to have with fries. How pretentious to assume that we would want only a sauce that wasn't ketchup, because we are so sophisticated. This really put me off. The real shame is that everything else was good to great. The Arancini was bland, but the lobster bisque is beautifully flavorful. Not much meat - there never is - but incredible flavor. I didn't mind that they used lump crab meat, but then what part of the soup makes it a lobster bisque? The brussels sprouts are perfectly cooked, lightly fried, and not greasy at all. Delicious. I would gladly max out my credit card to eat nothing but the Duck Breast, roasted with honey and coriander, with a mini duck meat pie and red wine braised strawberries. Some people say duck breast is like steak. It is, but better, more luxurious. The Chilean Seabass actually is Chillean Seabass, and not some imposter. It's wonderfully sweet, but the portion is tiny. Give us adult portions, for the price I'm paying. And, that's the thing that lowers the score a bit. For the price I'm paying, I want to be accommodated reasonably. I'm not asking for anything crazy. Just have ketchup ready when a customer orders fries, and don't make a pretentious moment out of it.

Cuisine is a hidden gem! I have to say that Chef Paul is one of the most talented Chefs I have ever met. The food is exceptional and of the highest quality. Every course from beginning to end was a wonderful experience!

I am torn between three and four stars, it's somewhere in the middle. Everything was delicious but I hate preset menus. The oysters however were five star. It was hard to get a server and we took a while to order drinks but once a server appeared everything was fast...even rushed. She kept trying to take our plates before we were finished. It was too much food and I was left stuffed. I prefer to order ala cart and to have more veggies on my plates. I believe they cater to the theater crowd and the preset menu ensures everyone gets to the show on time which I appreciate.

We decided to try Cuisine because it is so convenient to the Fisher Theater. But we were wary about the customer rating. What a great surprise to find that this place is wonderful! We had the three course dinner from the theatre menu. Really nice choices. Flavors out of this world. The service was perfect and upbeat. And the north entrance to the theatre is right across the street. Easy out parking. We'll be back again and again. I hope many more theatre goers give Cuisine the deserved reviews.

We had about 30 people in our party and all of us were blown away by the exceptional food! Everything made from scratch! The waitstaff was very attentive as was the bar staff. Chef Paul Grosz was hands on in the kitchen and dining room. What a gem, definitely check it out next time you're in downtown Detroit.

We loved our dinner there. The place is low-key inside, with old-fashioned decor and quiet jazz playing, so no need to scream over the music. It's a theatre crowd mostly, so everyone there was sober and nobody was shouting or laughing extra-loudly. Really perfect for a nice dinner conversation! The food itself was absolutely spectacular, and the portions very reasonably sized. Like the bumpkin I am, I took pictures of everything so you can see the pretty presentation. We had the corn crab chowder, salad de Lyon, duck leg with spaetzle and quail egg, green and white asparagus with morels (probably my favorite thing all night), sea bass, scallops, Brussels sprouts and duck-fat French fries. Everything was extremely flavorful and perfectly seasoned. The tropical tasting for desert was delicious. Perfect service -- prompt, friendly, personal and unobtrusive. Amazing dinner. Not cheap, probably on the order of Capital Grille, but so, so much better of a meal.

Outstanding meal and service last night before the Fisher Theatre. Wow! A wonderful Prixe fixe menu with a delicious first course fattoush with smoked salmon, 2nd course of yummy walleye with delicious accompaniments and a perfect dessert served by our terrific server, Allison. I loved that they had 2 mock tails on their menu. The restaurant looked beautiful and was stellar all around. Been there many times and it was honestly, my 2nd choice last night. It will be among my top choices from now on!

My Bestfriend had her birthday dinner here. We had the party room upstairs and had to go up and down stairs if we needed to use the restroom. In 5 inch heels it's a bit tiresome. The decor is minimalistic and it needs to be remodeled. Especially the ceiling. It literally looked like it was about to crumble. The chef prepared us a 3 course meal. Starting with oysters or chicken pot pie. The oysters were super fresh and absolutely delicious. The pot pie was bland and looked almost like something you could buy out of the frozen food section. I swore those peas were frozen. I added some salt and pepper and it was fine. Second course was a peach and tomato salad with cheese and balsamic vinaigrette or a crab and corn chowder. Did not care for either Third course was beef short ribs or a baked halibut. Both were amazing!!!!! The short ribs were super flavorful and so tender. My daughter literally scraped her plate eating the halibut. The servers were super attentive and one even did a little dance for us!!!! So cute! For the price of dinner the ambiance could've been a little better. But overall we had a very nice time. Oh..... my friends name was Keitha and on the menu they spelled it Keshia. Little things like that make a difference. Especially when over $2400 was spent.

We love Cuisine, the food is fantastic, we had the Foie Gras for starters then the Wagyu Beef Tenderloin, which was done to perfection along with the Scallops. Lets talk about the Duck Fat Fries, These are worth the drive for. Chef Paul and his entire staff are outstanding. We try to get back there at least once a month.

You know those friends who you don't see that often but you can just pick-up where you left off? Cuisine is like an old friend. She hasn't changed a bit. Cuisine has never disappointed me. Good food makes me happy. Cuisine isn't the new kid in town so she doesn't get the attention she deserves. I appreciate Cuisine. She's dependable, open on Sundays and unless there is something going on at the Fisher you can get a reservation without a week's notice. Parking is also convenient. Sometimes I just don't feel like the downtown madness. Service was tight;), everything we ordered was well prepared and yummy. The lobster broth was exceptional, the bisque too, the Thai shrimp special good as were the quail and duck. I won't stay away so long this time.

SO yummy, Im not a salad person but i will eat this salad, it comes with goat cheese and a poached egg. First time trying Caviar and i was surprised it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be, the cream and chives on it were really good! The duck risotto was my favorite dish of the night aside from the salad. Lemon dessert was amazing i think it had raspberry around it on the plate too and those were perfect flavors together. The Beef short rib with the pasta was also really good and cooked perfectly! All the staff are very friendly all helping each other and making sure everything is to our liking. I love Cuisine and the live jazz music we had on NYE! Thanks to Chef Grosz and his team:)

Scallops were excellent though the risotto had been sitting for a while. Fries were oily and limp though tasty - oil not up to temperature. Crab was way too salty. Souffle was scrambled eggs and powdered sugar. Service was very good.

Chef Paul Grosz is one of Detroit's best kept secrets with his French inspired creations. From the lobster bisque , Foie Gras, Orata and his famous duck. Don't forget to try the soufflé to Finish it off.

My wife and I were lucky enough to stop by this weekend while visiting friends in Detroit. Everything was superb by Chef Paul and his crew. I highly recommend trying the tasting menu if you are so inclined. The menu was delicious and flawlessly prepared. The restaurant is very covid friendly as things are opening up. They even have an outdoor area opening up in a couple weeks that looks very comfortable. The menu changes frequently and everything served is in season, we lucked out with some soft shell crabs among other excellent fare.

Two friend and I have formed a supper club. We dine out at new and interesting places around Detroit about once a month. One of our traditions is to try a new place every Detroit Restaurant Week (DRW); this time we chose Cuisine, and our experience was stellar. We sat in the cosy, enclosed porch of this converted historic home. The combination of the buttery yellow brick walls, the intimate space, and the lovingly set table was immediately soothing after a long, hard day at work. Drink orders were promptly taken and fulfilled, which added to the comfort. Our server also contributed to the relaxing Zen of the experience with her gracious, laid-back attitude. She made us feel completely at home and as if she was truly happy to fulfill our requests. As a matter of fact, every person who came to our table seemed happy to be interacting with us. I can only recall a handful of times when I've experienced the same level of service. In fact, I don't think its fair to call it service. Instead I'd say it's true hospitality. The food, which we ordered from the DRW menu, was equal to the hospitality. The corn and pumpkin potage managed to deliver both flavors simultaneously, with a palate-pleasing fresh tortilla aftertaste. The Dover sole was sweet and succulent. The Earl Gray creme brulee had a slight but distinct citrus and herbal flavor that might it taste light. I still haven't dined here except for DRW, and I need to make a point of it.

It's our first visit to Cuisine. We're lifelong Detroiters. Every minute was dramatic and well-played. Our server Alex was knowledgeable and patient. The food arrived and was tastefully presented. It tasted as good as it looked. Alex explained everything, including our wines. She's good. We will go again. Soon!

The only reason I cannot give this 5 stars is because they did not let us know that there is a pre-set menu when making the reservation. Loved the food, the service and the atmosphere. Everything we had was DELICIOUS! I would definitely return!

I was here in June 2017 with a group that reserved the second floor. They should take a look around the room to see what a guest sees when they come up the stairs. An attic. Not a romatic, cute garret (A garret is a room at the very top of a house, just underneath the roof. If you don't have enough money to rent a proper room, you might be able to rent a garret), but an attic. It could be so much more. If the room was properly decorated and looked welcoming and inviting, this would have absolutely been a 4 star, and maybe a 5 star review. The moscato they serve is wonderful, the young men who were our waiters and barstaff did a really nice job. The tables were set nicely. Dinner was great in a timely manner, the shrimp cocktail appetizer was really good. The beef for dinner was really good, and the salmon smelled heavenly. Sorbet dessert with berries was really nice. But the garret. It's time to revitalize it with the rest of Midtown.

This restaurant has apparently been there a long time. I like to think I eat out enough to know the scene, and I had heard of it, but it wasn't on my radar. A frown make a reservation for our group of 4 couples and when we walked it, got very nervous. There were 2 other couples in the dining room and it was relatively quiet. Until we showed up. Our server Sarah was awesome, and her partner Justin was great also. We ordered a ton of food - the homemade charcuterie board was great to start. We added a few items from the veggie section for the table, but if you love food and trust the restaurant, I highly recommend the chefs tasting menu of 6 courses. From halibut to sweetbreads to tuna tartar, then duck, it was the perfect way to explore the whole menu. My guess is that it's a big theater spot, and on non theater nights will be pretty quiet, but when you bring your own party, it was perfect. Chef Paul came out to hang with us and they were great people.

Located in an old house in the shadow of the Fisher Building, Cuisine is an amazing restaurant. Comfortable with a tasteful decor, the restaurant and bar is a welcome spot and relief from trendy bistros that cater to trendies looking to be seen This is especially a great spot to attend before a play at the Fisher. I went to see Hello Dolly, and stopped in beforehand. The restaurant provided a special in honor of the musical, with a spectacular three course meal.. Me? I had spaghetti and squash, not two items I imagine sharing a plate together. Let me say it was an incredible dish. Service was outstanding. Our server, Ritchie, was helpful and charming, offering suggestions and checking in on us often.

Stopped in for the first time before a show at the Fisher. As such, many arrived and left at the same time. Still, we were taken well care of by Jack and other staff. Food was excellent. All four of us enjoyed. Service was trying hard to please under the circumstances and in my opinion excelled. In summary, this is a unique place. Loved it. Try it.

Yelp
The food is good at least! We went before a show at the fisher, we weren't expecting a set menu for the show because it didn't say anything when we booked the reservation (which you don't really need), so we were disappointed when we only had a few options to choose from. Nonetheless, staff was nice and attentive, food came quickly and was good. One thing I will say, the decor of this place was stuck in 2001. I swear the glasses, plates, cutlery, even the lighting was all from the first day it opened. Not gross looking but this place could really do for some sprucing up.

Amazing Great food, great friendly service, and accommodating. I have celiac and the chef altered and substituted to accommodate it, they have a theatre menu that came right away so not sure about the people who waited so long. It also seemed that other reviewers showed up with out making reservations. I laughed at the person who said "worst experience". I had just had tests the last two days for liver transplant and cancer. I should be so lucky. It was such an enjoyable experience for an evening with my sister who flew in for me. And such a relief to have a quiet time to enjoy the talent of the chef

I had a good experience here. Don't expect super fancy. I found this place online and wanted to try it out. It's an old bldg and def looks it. When we arrived we parked right next door in the lot. They guided us to the back dining area. The waiter was a short Italian man that seems to have worked there a lot time. He seemed knowledgeable about the venue and the food. We started with the oysters and they were ok; hard to find non grainy oysters. For entrees we had: 1.Sea Scallop with corn risotto, mango, leeks and beet dust. 2. Thai Snapper with citrus butter, grilled bok choy and candied almonds. Sides: Tri Colored Carrots w goat cheese, hazelnuts and honey French Autumn Truffle Risotto The food was good. The drinks were small for the price. Menu is subject to change Decently priced (ave $40/entree) The ambience is a small crowd. Tables are close by so you can hear each other's conversation. Ppl at other tables talked to us while we ate which was kind of fun if you're ok with that type of decorum. Wait staff was nice. They showed us the upstairs renovations.

This gem of a restaurant is one of those places where you don't always want to share how wonderful it is because when you walk in, you feel like you're home and have a personal stake in it. Had a wonderful tasting menu and I wanted to eat everything. Perfect spot for a date or a birthday. 10/10

The restaurant building is nice and warm with dark wood all around. The bar area felt like an after thought with a giant TV that didn't quite suit the atmosphere. The bartender, Fred, is wonderful. He makes the best classic cocktails like Old Fashion and Manhattan. The food was very goo but with very small portions and high prices my wallet vs my stomach were out of sync. Glad I tried it once but may not go back.

I wish I could elaborate on all the wonderful evenings I have spent here ... but unfortunately I can only spill some highlights for the fact too much vino along with orgasmic bitings have left me unable to lift my phone and write reviews on Yelp! To begin this establishment is located directly across from the Fischer Theater... it is FAR MORE than a theater restaurant. A 1920s building with Chef Paul owning Cuisine for 17 years!!! Tonight I enjoyed a morel cassoulet which was as unique as it sounds. I enjoyed it, and let me tell you I am a Julia Child's "way to cook" cassoulet die hard fan but chef Paul blew me away again. The highlight of the evening? The Soufflé. Chef Paul makes a Grand Manier Soffle. That's right folks. Grand manier souffle. The waiter literally carved a hole into the perfectly fluffy dessert and pours the liquor in. Not to mention the wine offerings are something to dream about. Any other city.. this restaurant would be $$$$, for the price point and taste this place is beyond perfect. If you're a foodie- check it out, especially for a date! Oh and the service? Be prepared to be overwhelmed! My hubby is a partner at a large company. If you're looking to impress clients and have a wonderful evening out. This is the place.

...Spring 2012 Detroit Restaurant Week review... Cuisine did a very nice job of presenting themselves and what they have to offer during this DRW installment. Mom and I were treated very well by the staff, with enough people to cater to our every whim (we were visited by our waiter numerous times, the 'bread boy' made regular and welcome visits, and a sommelier). We enjoyed the low lit interior. I chose the Foie Gras Dumpling (2* - dumpling edges were a bit firm from sitting out in the elements, but the consomme was delish), Skatefish (4* - flaky fish reminded me of crab, and the blood orange butter sauce was yummy), and Almond Raspberry Tart (3* - a bit too firm but the rosemary ice cream was 5* amazing!). Mom chose the Caesar Salad (3*), the Mexican beef filet (4* - spicy crust, succulent meat), and German chocolate cake (4* - coconut ice cream...sigh) We had a couple glasses of of wine ($9 each) and split the Brussels sprouts side ($8). These prices are more indicative of what you'd spend at Cuisine (vs $28 each for the DRW 3-course). Mom and I decided we would be willing to visit Cuisine during a future DRW, but maybe not as a normal dinner option before our Fisher Theatre shows.

Most innovative and delicious food in all of Michigan! We went there so many evenings. And almost always they had new innovative dishes to offer. The service was also very good every time we went.

Cuisine far exceeded my expectations. I had heard from friends and family how wonderful it is - but then, there a lot of great restaurants in the Detroit area - and I have ones I visit regularly. However, after a visit last evening, I certainly wish I wouldn't have waited so long to experience this one! The ambiance was delightful, and every dish at our table was cooked to perfection. From the scallops, duck, quail, fish and the scrumptious soup - each dish was incredibly delicious and presented artfully. Several in our party ordered desserts and they were heavenly as well. The waitstaff were warm and friendly, and even though it was quite busy, we never felt neglected. This is my new favorite Detroit restaurant!

The staff at the restaurant we're VERY nice. Drinks are amazing. HOWEVER the food is a different story! Tortellini was served in a brown sauce, horrible pairing. Lamb chops were not cooked right and they had no flavor. The sirloin had no flavor as well. The au gratin potatoes were super dry and they were really the worst we've (4 of us) have ever had. Definitely one of the worse meals ever. Specially after a $350 bill. We'd go back for drinks only.
