"Since 2019, chef Kate Williams’ sleek second-floor lunch counter restaurant Karl’s at the Siren hotel has kept spaghetti on people’s plates and boozy breakfast drinks in their bellies. But, the business’ representatives confirmed the restaurant inside the hotel closed on Tuesday, December 6. No further details have been offered, though the business’s team says they are getting together a plan for the future of the location. In the meantime, Candy Bar — along with the Siren’s other outlets including Albena and Sid Gold’s — are open for fans of the hotel." - Paolo Bicchieri
"A stylish luncheonette inside the Siren Hotel in Detroit that revived the nostalgic TV-dinner format during the pandemic, serving a panko-breaded pork cutlet plated old-school with mushroom-and-onion gravy, corn, and mashed potatoes in a four-compartment aluminum tray that deliberately echoes classic TV dinners. The chef-owner adapted the concept to fit the restaurant’s playful branding—pairing meals with movie recommendations and clear reheating instructions—while acknowledging practical limits (sandwiches and breaded/fried items are avoided because they become soggy). The trays were offered as to-go dinners and breakfasts when indoor dining was limited, and the team expects the format to become a popular room-service item once guests return." - Esra Erol
"Chef Kate Williams kicks off a dinner series at Karl’s at the Siren Hotel, exploring Detroit’s culinary history through five-course dinners. Williams previously closed her other restaurant Lady of the House in February due to the pandemic." - BethMcKibben
"This charming luncheonette inside the Siren Hotel offers a bunch of its most popular menu items to-go including buttermilk pancakes with breakfast sausage and cheddar grits. The meal comes on a TV dinner tray. Customers can order online and even throw in a bottle of rosé. Karl’s is also providing dine-in service." - Brenna Houck
