LeCulture Cafe

I grew up in this neighborhood and I LOVE to see the true Detroit culture coming back. The food was delicious. The seafood Mac and Cheese was on point. The service was great. It is reservation only so book ahead and make sure you have time to wait for your seating, because patrons will sit here, it's very comfortable. The drinks were poured well, the restaurant was clean, and professional. The bussers and runners were even engaged with consumers. The price point is a bit high, but for a great meal it is worth it. It's a small menu, but lacks nothing! Parking is less than stellar, but hey it's the City so get used to that here. Leave early and find parking on Gratiot. If you dine here, you won't be sorry.

Was very disappointment in the service. Waited 20 min for rolls then food came out at different time. My husband food arrived 15 minutes plus before mine. Staff was eating a snack in plain sight I had to wave her over to ask her what was going on about my food. After my food did arrive the lobster mac was still 15 plus min behind that. We waited so long to get a reservation and was so disappointed. The lamb chops and salmon was the only thing that made the dinner not to be a total waist of time. Also the place was not that clean as far as booths and floor being cleaned between guests. There needs to be a floor manager to keep things in order. So sad. The mac and lobster overload had a funny burnt taste to it. I should have sent it back but was trying to be nice . We spent 140$ and did not feel it was worth it in anyway. Please get some better help so this restaurant will last.

DELICIOUS! The salmon tower is one of my new favorite dishes. This was my first time having salmon, lobster, and shrimp in one dish and let me tell you my tastebuds were so happy I was feeling brave! There is a lot of sauce on the plate (this scared me) but it didn't over power the dish it added to it! They were playing some of Motown's greatest hits plus R&B music from the 90s/2000s. The space is small & it was packed so it was a little noisy. The noise level didnt bother me at all but others noticed it. The staff is friendly & accommodating but pack your patience the service is slow. Once they speed up their service they will have earned 5 stars, everything else is fantastic. I can't wait to go back! Oh, and the restaurant is reservation ONLY they are booking almost a month in advance.

Visited Le Culture Cafe . There was no wait this time (we had a reservation). The food was absolutely amazing--with the exception of the "King" Crab Legs. The legs were quite small, and while they were tasty, they were overcooked and most definitely not enough to be worth the $70 price tag. The service was impeccable.👌🏾 I give it 4 out of 5 chicken legs because of the hefty price tag. You should most definitely visit if you can, though.🙂 🍗🍗🍗🍗

Pros- Food was good and hot. I did not care for the smakin Mac and cheese, the Mac and cheese was very good the boneless wings were okay and a bit hard. Strawberry lemonade was to die for! Mamba chicken pasta bomb! Lecture wings smacked! Cons- women’s bathroom was deplorable! Smelled terrible! Needs cleaning often! They did not have our reservation on file, was almost not sat after driving an hour to visit this restaurant for the first time. So make sure your set to go before getting there. Parking is expensive. Overall we will return.

This place just opened a carry out on 8 mile last week. I think they were not prepared for the customer base. The pick up was all over the place, unorganized and the wait was very long (an hour and half). I specifically requested NO ONIONS (due to an allergy) on made to order $46 plate food and I received with scallions garnished (I had to pick them off).The food was actually good (why I gave 3 stars instead of 2) but extremely rich. Unfortunately that richness caused restroom problems. Our bill was $132 (2 entrees/1 appetizer/2 lemonades)...so the problems we incurred were frustrating taking into consideration the money we spent on a carry out. I hope they work out the kinks it's black-owned and I would like to support again in the future (but not now). The best of my order was the Strawberry Lemonade .....one of the best I have tasted in a long time (homemade). UPDATE: It's really hit or miss with this place. Sometimes its open, sometimes not. The times vary when they open. They rarely answer phone calls; online or in-person are best ways to order. The Gumbo is on point. The lobster bites are 'ok.' The lobster mac n cheese is rich. They garnish everything with onion so if you're allergic you MUST request in person your allergies and check your food before you leave.

So I ordered the smack wings off uber eats, the photo looked bomb! When I got it. It’s literally baked wings with Franks hot sauce. They’re also super tiny! Like when you first get that frozen bag from Walmart before u learned they shrink! The 4 cheese macaroni is just that and nothing else. No flavor, no taste, just cheese and visible pepper. The greens were okay but the stalk turned me off. They fries were good, maybe would of been better hot. This a no for me

I really liked the atmosphere... nice view of Gratiot. The seats were uncomfortable after a while however the friendliness of the staff made up for any discomfort that my behind was feeling in the chairs. The presentation of the plates was fantastic. Appetizing. A little pricey but I'd dine here again. Seems like it would be a great place for dates. The art work was beautiful. The food was good. Try it!! Note...you have to pay for parking. Meter or lot.

My experience here was a WORLD of a difference from my 1st dining experience at the previous location. For my most recent experience: I highly advised you to book a reservation online. They text you to confirm the day before. When I entered I was greeted right away! My wait time for a table wasn't long. The waitress acknowledged us when were seated and seemed happy to be there to serve us. My food came out in reasonable time and the portion was just right. I cleaned the plate and didn't feel hungry or overly full. My guest was happy with their experience as well. Whoever trained the staff did a excellent job. The manager handled a situation with a group who had an issue with seating arrangements for a large party very well. When I asked for water I got it right away, when I asked where the restroom was, she walked me to it, when I complained of no paper towel in the bathroom, they immediately got some. Customer service is definitely a priority. I never felt like I was waiting around for an excessive amount of time for something. My food was simply excellent from the presentation to the way it tasted. I loved it! The new location is much bigger than the last. The decor, the staff, the food was all so nice! The music was nice, the live music was even better. I had a superior experience and I can't wait to come back!You should book a reservation right now.

Drinks were okay. The wings were awesome. The croissant was yummy. chose the salmon burger but had no flavor and there wasn't anything truffle about the truffle fries. The wait in the beginning was long and for our food. My wife asked for ranch twice and never came.

So I ordered the smack wings off uber eats, the photo looked bomb! When I got it. It's literally baked wings with Franks hot sauce. Wings super tiny, are these from the frozen Walmart bag? The 4 cheese macaroni is just that and nothing else. No flavor, no taste, just cheese and visible pepper. The greens were okay but the stalk turned me off. They fries were good, maybe would of been better hot. This a hard no for me. Taxing to live, cause it's definitely not worth the price Overrated Crack wings are $25 The sides weren $6 a piece Tiny wings- $25 I feel so violated

Took my mother out for dinner here and the food was amazing. The service was great and food was so good we wanted to fall asleep at the table. The honey croissants they started me with had a bit of a stale texture but were still pretty good. The Lamb chops were sweet and savory and super juicy and the seafood pasta i had was seasoned well and the seafood was perfectly cooked! I would love to revisit this spot in their new location to see what more they have to offer

Food not so great, overpriced and over rated..! Don't waste your time with this place.

Great time at LeCultute Cafe with my husband and sisters. We were quickly served and food came out fresh. We ordered drinks from the bar and they made our martinis to order

I had the roast beef and the oxtails , Now y'all I can be a oxtail all day everyday and there's was definitely giving and the customers service was definitely up to service

I've been wanting to try this place forever, and I finally got the chance to go for a Saturday morning brunch last weekend. I made reservations, so we were seated right away. My son and I were a little over dressed, though. I was in a dress, and he was in dress slacks and shirt, but everyone else was in jeans or other casual clothes. Maybe people dress up more in the evening? Anyway, brunch here is casual in case you're wondering what to wear. Service was great, although they do warn you that there will be a wait as everything is made from scratch. No problem. It was worth the wait (and it really wasn't that long, anyway). Their brunch menu is large and unique. I had a hard time deciding what to get from so many tempting options, but I went with the shrimp and grits. Omg. Heaven on a plate. The grits are made with gouda cheese and are the best grits I've ever had. My son enjoyed his chicken and bacon rollup sandwich and fries. Parking here might be tricky on a busy night, but early on a Saturday morning I was able to park right in front of the restaurant. Highly recommend for a memorable meal.

When you walk into the space, you feel a good vibe. There's bumpin' music, young patrons, vibrant servers, all of this makes for a positive experience, especially on a girls night out. What I will say about the food is that it is indulgent. The featured "grain" that is served at the table is a croissant drenched in a sugary honey concoction. My girls loved them and ordered extra (for an extra charge of course). I thought it was too sweet to start out my meal and if you didn't eat it when it was warm, no bueno. For appetizers, we ordered crab cakes, culture wings and steak bites. The crab cakes (see pic) were not great - a bit rubbery and too much filler/breading. The steak bites were tasty-well seasoned and cooked properly. The wings (see pic) are served in the "Hastings" sauce (menu items feature several tributes/references to the Black Bottom neighborhood) and set aflame on the table. A lot of show and no go. Wings were tasty enough, but for $12, I'll pass. I'm a VERY discerning wing connoisseur. I liked the fact that they're small and naked. The sauce was nothing to ride down Hastings for. One of my girls and I ordered the lamb chops with a side of brussel sprouts (see pic). Both orders were cooked under. I ordered medium and she ordered well. I got medium rare and she got medium. Still, they were seasoned nicely, simmered in a wonderful sauce. I couldn't eat them all anyway and they were perfect heated up in the microwave the next day. The brussel sprouts were not that impressive. Would rather have a serving of tender green beans sautéed in garlic n olive oil or something. Ready for the brussel sprout trend to end. I tried another friend's chicken mamba pasta. That was good. I would order it the next time. I also tried the Mac n cheese with fried lobster. A lil indulgent for my taste as a meal, but was delicious to try. My girlfriend enjoyed it. The cocktails - they featured a watermelon vodka cooler. It was yummy, but overpriced at $12. Then when I saw the plastic cooler of pre-made watermelon juice/Koolaid at the bar, it cheapened it. Also, I can't believe they feature so many top dollar ($40+) protein options and don't have a decent wine list! This kills me. At least offer a nice Cabernet if you're going to get me for $40 for lamb chops. It's like wearing a Valentino dress with some shoes from Aldo. I mean, you can do it, but,.... The service was good. Food was a bit slow coming out of the kitchen, but we were full on apps and chatting quite a bit. Our server was nice and high energy. But then again, they do tack a 20% service charge onto the bill. This was no problem because we all planned to tip. Just maybe a delicate notification of that by the server before ordering might have been more diplomatic? Some members of my party didn't like it at all. Overall, this spot is solid. I will return. It's a fun space. Plan to spend $100 easily for dinner. Not sure if the price points are on point. They need to tighten up to justify those prices if they want to be around in the long run. I'll support though and hope to see growth.

I've been following the owner on Instagram for a while and his food always looked amazing so I had to stop in. Reservations: I made reservations a month in advance and was easily accommodated. They was no wait for my sisters and I. Atmosphere: I expected more grand entry. It was chill and laid back. Drinks: Patron margarita was tasty. Food: appetizer: chicken was really good but only came with flat pieces. The bread was buttery with syrup. The lamb chops were overall price. I would've liked if it came 4 for 32 instead of 3. The fries were decent. Salmon burger was salty. I ordered the salmon tower. It came with spinach, mashed potatoes and one side. I ordered the Mac n cheese. The Mac n cheese was good. The salmon had a lot of food. The parking was difficult. There's many ways to get a ticket on that street so I parked in the rear. It's overhyped. Overly expensive because the atmosphere doesn't match the price. The service is attentive just wish there was a bigger menu.

I was finally able to reserve and dine in at LeCulture Cafe, after much anticipation, and following the IG page for a couple of months before the grand opening in November/2018. My friend and I had reservations for 4:30 pm, last Thursday, and I wanted the earlier time, just Bc I had read mixed reviews about the long wait, and lack luster service, due to how crowded the restaurant was. I will say, I believe the earlier time made all of the difference for my experience! I was pleasantly pleased with the service, our waitress was great, and our food came out in a timely manner! The food was really good! I ordered the Seafood Overload Macaroni and Cheese, and for appetizers I ordered the Wings (all flats, I loved it). My friend and I split the cheesecake, and that was really good as well. Oh, I we also had the Croissants, and those were delicious! Overall great experience, and I plan on making reservations to return soon! The portions were huge, I had food left over for the next day!

I tried going to the location on 8 mile twice. The first time the line was so long and unmoving that I left after about 20 minutes. What I saw made me not want to try them without watching them make my food. Someone ordered turkey wings. I watched with my own eyes that the person making the plates gave them 2 turkey bones and then fished in the juice for a few peices of meat. Then they wrapped it up in aluminum foil. Whomever's food that was was going to be HIGHLY upset. They know they are so wrong for that. They aren't cheap at all. BUYER BEWARE!!! If you go here, check your food before you leave, preferably while they are making it. The second time I tried going (knowing I was going to watch them make my food) i waited in line about 30 minutes with the line barely moving. I gave up and doubt I'll be back.

Listen, due to covid I wasn't able to sit in and enjoy my meal but LAWD... I finally found a restaurant that's truly good and WORTH the price I paid. I got the Salmon tower with candied yams. Almost $50 but I definitely would have happily paid more especially if dine in were available and I could have ordered a drink or two. It's so delicious. I arrived when I learned that there was no dine-in, & ordered my meal. They gave me an estimated 45 minute wait time but I waited in my car right in front for about 20 minutes when they gave me a call. If anyone has any other recommendations for amazing food like this place please message me. I'm new here and I live near the airport but I will make a drive for really good food

The ambiance was great. Drinks were good. Food...meh. Nothing special. I was disappointed. We ordered both appetizers; the wings were good although not hot in temp just barely warm. The crab cakes were bland and cool. We were out with another couple so we ordered 4 different dishes; a burger which was bland, really no seasoning at all and last to come out after the other dishes had already come out. The salmon tower-Salmon was burnt on one side. They had that side down and I ate from the top so I didn't notice till half way through. Also lacked seasoning. The macaroni with lobster was very rich, to much for a main dish. The pasta with chicken and shrimp was delicious. The croissants were okay, nothing special just heated up and drizzled with a honey butter of some sorts. Their only dessert was cheesecake which appeared and tasted store bought, sliced and served. Very dissatisfied. The food also took a long time to come out and they were not packed. So we gave them another try. My burger was cooked to perfection and seasoned well. My son liked his wings although my husband felt they were over cooked. My mom liked her shrimp. My husband did not like his sandwich. The chicken was over fried. He literally put it in the trash. The best chicken sandwich we have had is at The Gripper. These pale in comparison. Just not worth the $100 tab. I'm saddened all of us did not like our food. Just nothing special for me.

Listen I've heard mixed reviews Abbott this place and I personally steered clear of it because of what I've heard ... " too expensive, food just okay " . Well for my birthday I was invited to brunch and I steadfastly accepted the invite . Well the pLace was smaller than I expected but still great . The staff was pleasant and knowledgeable. We were walk ins and afteer 20 minutes were seated ( party of 3) after studying the menu like I was prepwRing for my final exam decided on the seafood overload omelet $21.00 ... Well it aaroved and was massive and came with 2 sides , I order the pancake and hash brown alSo the mimosas . My food arrived looking like something out of a cooking show ... beautiful and big enough for two . The food was amazing and I will be back .

3 stars because my sister & I LOVE BRUNCH HERE!!! Dinner on the other hand... my husband & I have given this place two chances. Not worth it in my opinion. Today we went and in total we spent 3 hours there. Waited an hour for seating, an hour for our appetizers, drinks, and bread... another hour for our food and incorrect bill. We spent 250$ and the food was not completely worth it. The lobster corn dogs, my husband loved them! The culture wings, they tasted better when we had them on Valentine's Day The "Lobster" spinach dip, was missing the spinach and lobster. Although it was lacking both it tasted pretty good The rolls are amazing!!! The lamb chops.... we've had better, but they were okay. The mamba pasta with shrimp and chicken was okay! The Mac & Cheese was the only food besides the bread that was actually hot! Everything else was warm, which was very disappointing. My sister and I will probably be back for brunch, but we've given up on the dinner.

My wife & I enjoyed dinner as first time visitors celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary last night. Let's get the negatives out of the way; -Parking sucks....we got a tix because we didn't park two blocks from the restaurant up Gratiot Av. Play close attention to the parking signs. -Dining space is cramped. I felt like everyone else was listening to our conversation aside from constantly giving pardon to the staff as they serviced their tables. -The restrooms are disappointing, even for a guy - no secure locks (almost walked in on ladies using both unisex facilities) plus the hot water didn't work in faucets, which immediately causes me to question if staff washes their hands regularly! *That being said* The wait staff is very nice and attentive. Our selections were very tasty, flavorful and are indeed large portions. I ordered the Salmon Tower and I was pleasantly surprised to get a (larger than normal) piece of Salmon, which was sitting on top of homemade mashed potatoes. The sautéed spinach, shrimp and crap lump added depth to the dish. Because of the previously posted pics, I asked for light sauce and it payed off as it was just enough to enjoy every component on the plate without overpowering it. I tried for the very first time Brussel sprouts w bacon. They were cooked in an Asian/Teriyaki-style sauce...my wife said they were very good. She ordered the Dirty Bird Chicken w Mac & Cheese and she gave it a thumbs up. Cooking & serving the mac in the cast iron skillet was brilliant because it was still hot, even at the end of our dinner. Overall, we enjoyed it and will go back again. Now, if the staff and food remain consistent, they'll need to expand or relocate soon.

After hearing mixed reviews about this place it was my turn to have the LeCulture experience. I dined in on a weekday(Wednesday evening). When I arrived I was promptly greeted and asked if I had a reservation, we did. The decor reminds me of an old bar turned into a restaurant, it works though. We were seated at a half booth/table. Water was placed before me without a lemon which I appreciate greatly! *I hate lemon in water when it's not requested. Jamin was our waiter, he was extremely pleasant and greeted us each time with a smile and was very attentive. We ordered the LeCulture wings as an appetizer. Not long after a plate of all flats was presented. The wings looked as if they came from a regular chicken and not one that was in a body building competition. A+. The wings were presented on a plate with flambé'. Neat. What I appreciated was that Jamin asked about a peanut allergy which is noted on the menu but I was pleased that he asked. The honey butter croissants weren't anything to get excited about. I felt like I was eating a croissant bought in bulk from Sams Club, that was heated up with honey butter. I ordered the Bone in Ribeye (which only comes in one size),a side of Mac & cheese and the Broccolini. The steak was a nice size in regards to thickness, I ordered it prepared med-well and it was cooked perfectly. The taste is reminiscent of the J. Alexander's Steak Maui. The accompanying mashed potatoes were a tad dense but seasoned just right. No complaints about my main course. The side of Mac and Cheese is really for two people. It was brought in small cast iron skillet. Creamy and lots of cheese but not the taste I expected. It was nothing to excite me. The broccolini was topped with parm and was tough to cut, it could've been steamed a little long but the color was poppin and the taste was good. The food portions were so large that I asked for a carry out container right away to put most of the food away for a treat the day after. I ordered The Gratiot which comes in at $25! It was NICE! Finally, I decided on the Black Bottom cheesecake. I think it may have been my least favorite of all the food I tried. Loved the presentation but nothing really tickled my tastebuds. Unisex restrooms, clean and good mirrors. It's wheelchair accessible but small on the inside. Good lighting. GREAT playlist! I mean myself and another patron jammed the whole time! All in all LeCulture proved to be a nice experience. Based on other things I've heard I probably would never go on a weekend. The service was great, most of food was good, I would like to go back and try a few other dishes. I most definitely would get The Gratiot again lol.

The food was really good. For apps we had the chicken bacon and egg rolls and the crab cake. The crab was good and it wasn't a lot of filler. For entrees we both had the salmon tower. Only thing i didn't like that it was a lot of mashed potatoes. Our food came out super fast we were there like 30mins. I'd wld have liked for my app to come before my meal.

I ordered the Lobster and Crab Cakes with Brussels sprouts and duck bacon as my side. The lobster and crab cakes were so delicious as well the Brussels sprouts. The Brussels sprouts had a nice flavor to it because of the sauce that was on it. I would say that I thought the lobster and crab cakes entree was me getting a lobster and then my crab cakes as well but their is lobster in the crab cakes and not two separate things if that makes sense just an FYI when ordering. It was still delicious and I walked out satisfied.

Visited with a group of friends for a birthday. We expected the food to be good, and it was amazing! Better yet though, the service was second to none! Our waitress Tonya, and our bartender Rae were both amazing!!! They went far above and beyond what I expected. This place is DEFINITELY a gem of Detroit! TIP: Park in the back of the building - it's free! You WILL get a ticket if you park in front.

I've been twice to order takeout and both times were Absolutely AMAZING!!! I ordered the salmon tower both times (once fried and once grilled) LOVED them both! They have amazing greens and macaroni and cheese. On Saturday we ordered the Greens & Seafood Eggrolls for the first time and they were great!!!! We also ordered dessert for the first time and our Strawberry Banana Pudding was OUTSTANDING!!!! The best I've ever had- worth every penny!!! I am from Néw Orleans and this place rivals even the best New Orleans has to offer! We drive all the way from Lake Orion Michigan just to experience Le Culture Cafe's great cuisine!

I made the reservation 4 weeks ago and I was not disappointed! It was amazing from start to finish. Jacob was our server and he did not disappoint. The hostess was great as well. I ordered the Salmon Tower and my husband ordered the Steak. We both shared our food with the other and omg next time I'm ordering the steak, even though my food was amazing. That steak is so delicious. I give it 5 stars. Go about 10 minutes earlier than your reservation time to secure a parking spot. I ordered dessert to go, we could not finish our food because of the generous portion sizes.

Being that they are an up and coming restaurant, I struggled with giving an unfavorable review but constructive criticism is always helpful. We made reservations over a month in advance for date night - Saturday at 6 pm. Arriving on time, we were pointed towards the back of the restaurant where there was a small waiting area. The area was packed, so stood about 15 minutes waiting for our table. No harm. No foul. I was a bit surprised by the loud noise level. The noise level veers towards the "cafe" side. We were sat between two other couples.

As promised, I returned to give this restaurant a second opportunity and they did not disappoint. I had the pleasure of being served by Moe again. He was as hospitable as he was the prior visit. We had the Culture Wings again as our starter as they were really good our initial visit. This time I ordered the Lobster Mambo Pasta adding Shrimp. My friend has the Chicken Mambo Pasta adding Shrimp. Since our last visit the restaurant has obtained their liquor license so we were able to indulge. I had the Pineapple Long Island and she had the Strawberry Marquerita. Everything was excellent. Service started off a bit shaky as no one initially came over to assist us as far as providing menus and or water. Once Moe saw us and came over to acknowledge us, the young lady assigned to the section told him he "could have our table". There wasn't a need that wasn't addressed after he began. Food order went in expeditiously and was brought out properly heated and very delicious. The owner was gracious enough to come over and talk with us having heard of the prior experience. His passion with his business and food is evident. I will continue to support him and all his future endeavors.

I'll start out by saying that the food here is absolutely amazing! I had the salmon tower, which was topped with shrimp and crab meat in a creamy sauce, it was paired with mash && spinach. For dessert I had the black bottom cheesecake, which was delicious. It's a nice small cozy place. It's reservations only, which kind of sucks because they're always booked. So you literally have to plan ahead. When I arrived I was greeted by the hostess, whom was very nice. I was seated immediately && the waiter came within seconds with water. The staff is very friendly. Had no complaints.

I have been waiting a long time to go, here. They are kind of pricey, but you get what you pay for and that's a GREAT, thing! We all enjoyed our meals and appetizers. All everybody at the table could talk about is how they are coming back. It was a live band and we really enjoyed ourselves! This is my new FAVE spot.

First visit was nice considering my husband and I didn't know that we needed a reservation to get a table. Fortunately we were able to sit at the bar on the night that we went. I ordered the Salmon Tower and it was delicious! Since this is a new place I can tell that they are learning, so hopefully management will be sure to invest time into training their staff on service. With good customer service and great food, they'll become a staple in Detroit for sure. Also-the bread(croissants) are AMAZING!!! Little pieces of heaven on Earth! :)

I have been working since I was 16 y/o. I've gone to college, and now I am well off into my career at 25 y/o. During the pandemic, I was laid off, and on unemployment. The owner of LeCulture chose to take to social media with comments about unemployed people during trying times. In my opinion, these type of comments are irresponsible and insensitive. Piece of sh*t? Whew. That's harsh. What a way to belittle and degrade the patrons of your business. I won't be spending my hard earned money here anymore. Very unfortunate, because I loved dining here and supporting this small black business... I'll take my POS $$ elsewhere.

From the onset, my daughter and I were pleased with the environment. Very nice, urban feel and welcoming... wings are highly recommended to start with as an appetizer. I ordered the Seafood Mac and Cheese. It was presented beautifully and was piping hot! The taste was just as good as the presentation! The owner was also out on the floor checking on the customers. I would have given LeCulture five stars but unfortunately our waitress terrible! She was super slow and inattentive. What should have been 1 1/2 hours took 2 hours and 15 minutes! We had to wait for silverware, to-go boxes and her to return my credit card. People who came in after us were served and left before we finished dining. I recommend LeCulture and will be going back soon. Hopefully, we will get a better waitress or that will be the last.

The food was soooo good from the honey buttered croissants to the corn beef egg rolls and steak bites for the appetizers to the entrees ( pics) to end with the peach cobbler(not pictured it went fast!) Our waitress was awesome and attentive. She gave great suggestions and the live band had me grooving in my seat! Great night out with friends that due to covid we had not seen in over a year. Thanks for great service, great food, great ambiance and a great experience overall!

I am SO SO SO SO DIssapointed. My girls and I drove 45 minutes here. We had a reservation so we were seated about 10 minutes after getting there. We ordered our drinks, and then our food. We were told that the kitchen is backed up so there will be a little wait. My friends got their alcoholic drinks 45 minutes after ordering it. After AN HOUR OF WAITING for our food we began growing impatient. We were watching people seated after us get their food so we agreed to wait for another 30 minutes. ONE HOUR AND 30 mins passed and we still didn't get our food. At this point we made up our minds to leave. ONE HOUR AND FIFTY minutes later our food came out. We told our server to please send it back and give us our bill. They kept us updated and compensated our drinks but I still don't think it was enough. Never coming back. We left and went to White Castle (all dressed up) WOW!!!!!!

New restaurant near Eastern Market. Excellent food, wonderful ambiance. Food came out warm and was VERY tasteful. Our party ordered: Culture Wings, Crabcakes, Seafood Mac & Cheese, Lamb Chops, House Salad, Salmon Burger, Truffle Fries. Looking forward to coming back.

There was a bit of a wait but the food was delicious! I truly enjoyed myself.. as well as the drinks! Will definitely come again! Staff was really nice. Especially Our waitress Billy! Great food. Great atmosphere.and live music.

Y'all. I had been stalking this joint on IG since they opened. It's e only place I really wanted to go when I came home. Before I continue the waitress was lovely but outside of that I was not impressed. Went on Monday when they had the live music. I always enjoy a live music spot, but this place is really too small for that IMO, definitely not conducive to a conversational meal so keep that in mind. I can't remember the name of my cocktail, but it was extremely sweet and absent of spirits. I ordered the seafood mac & cheese and despite being described as having seafood throughout, that was not the case. The mac itself was not at all mind blowing or creamy. It was too sharp and unbalanced. The lobster was disrespectful AF. It tasted like it lived its life in dirty water only to be overcooked in some dirty grease with absolutely no thought to seasoning. My final verdict: severely overpriced hood chef shenanigans.

Seriously overpriced!! They charged a 20% service charge and they asked for gratuity on top of that

They had the nerve to sell this and call it peach cobbler . A burnt mess. Do not order the peach cobbler.

Finally able to get a reservation for this hot new spot o our anniversary! Was so excited only to receive a message from the restaurant that they had lost power for the day. Not the restaurants fault but they were able to squeeze us in later in the week....#awesome! Based on the menu options and prices we decided to dress up for a nice night on the town....needless to say we were OVERDRESSED. It is a very causal dining atmosphere. We ordered the salmon tower and the bone in ribeye....both were outstanding! I will say the croissants seemed to taste like costco/sam's club with a honey butter drizzle. Drinks were tasty and strong. Food was very good, but not the atmosphere I would like for the prices.

Love love LOVE this restaurant! Drew, the owner is quite connoisseur of customer service and creating grand experience. I've ordered just about everything on this menu and have no disappointments. I recommend it for date night or just an evening out. The ambiance can be loud at times but it isn't bad. They do music on Mondays, which is enjoyable. The weekend is very busy so pack your patience if you don't have a reservation but order a Sidecar or the Gratiot and you will be too drunk to remember how long you waited.

This place is definitely a Vibe. Visited 3-14-20 around 8:30 pm w/o an reservation which I don't recommend but I had the time. Seating was almost 30 mins which we were advised. We sat at the bar which is small and intimate which I would have had issue with but like I mentioned this place is a Vibe. Which means it's real Detroit with cool , hip, and laid back ppl. The food was flavored well I would recommend the macaroni have more cheese though. The lobster was season to perfection and how great is it to order wings as an appetizer and they automatically came fried hard... you know what type of establishment it is when u don't have to ask that! Sat immediately at the window and bar so I got the full panoramic view of the place. Staff was friendly, efficient, and cool. Will definitely return again... oh music was on

This is based on our visit at this restaurant in April 2019. I'm just now getting around to writing this review as I have been off YELP for a little while. We had reservation and checked in on time.. needless to say we left without eating and waited over 45 minutes to experience the "Fine Dining" that everyone is raving about. Going to this restaurant had to have been one of the most disappointing experiences we have had in a very long time especially downtown. We waited almost a hour to place our order after we were seated. We witnessed three tables be seated after us and they each placed their order and received their food. Although we arrived there before many others were seated some of these tables were placing orders, eating, and receiving their drinks well before we were even acknowledged. After the female manager noticed we had not been approached by one of the wait staff she came over and ask us had we been helped and if not she would be willing to take care of us from that point. Because we had become extremely agitated with the entire ordeal we opted not to order any food. We felt it was best we leave. The manager did cover the cost of our drinks and we then left. I did make mention of this on another social media site and after 2 weeks one of the owners responded with a "What is it, you are seeking or what do you suggest we do". I never responded to his question. I truly believe he could careless about what transpired that night as he has many happy patrons so one or two disappointed customers here or there mean nothing to them. I am happy to see others enjoyed their food and their experience. No apologies needed.. !!

I had hoped this place was gonna be good, but I was very disappointed. Very slow service even though my server was nice. My $15 lemon drop tasted like sour lemon juice. My lamb chops were over cooked and tuff. The lobster crab cab wasn't bad just over cooked. 3/4 of the way through my meal I finally got my sides (soggy broccoli bland truffle fries) The couple next to me said they were disappointed as well after a 4 month wait. They did take 25% off

This place soothes my soul!!! When I tell you EVERY-THING on this menu is bangin'....BOOOOYYYY! The vibes, music, people...from the starters to the dessert all good! Bring an appetite! Better yet, order your meals and immediately ask for a carry out container so that you can put half of your food away to make room for dessert! Share with your date/friends and taste everything. Love this place! Take your time, talk, eat and enjoy Lê Culture! #ForThePeople

Once or twice per year, I pick a really nice restaurant to take my amazing team to lunch as a way to celebrate their accomplishments and thank them for their outstanding work. This year I chose LeCulture because of how close it is to our offices. I REALLY REALLY wanted to love this place because I'd heard so many wonderful things about the menu. And to be fair, the food was very good, however, because I had a reservation, waiting nearly 45 minutes in stifling heat to place a lunch order was very upsetting. The upside was that My team enjoyed their meal. I am going to give this place another shot simply because I want to see if they offer a better experience next time. Fingers crossed, my next visit will be pleasant.

Overall it's a 2.5, but since that's not an option I'll go with a 3. The Good: Service in general was excellent, my waiter was very attentive to our needs and as prompt as he could be, so 5 stars to him (forgot his name), My lamb chops were cooked exactly how I like (medium rare) and very tasty. The Bad: Seated by the door, where whenever someone entered or exited we got a terrible draft (waiter eventually moved us.), The croissants were warmed in the microwave which made them tough to bite and very chewy, The wait for our food was a bit outrageous (47min) considering we only received 2 inedible croissants (keep in mind nobody eats before going to dinner.). Upon receiving our food everything except the Mac and cheese was room temperature (nobody likes cold food.) While I don't have a problem paying for a good meal I feel like you were to pricey considering the wait for and room temperature food. I've heard some great reviews from friends so either they don't know good eating as I do or maybe you guys just had a bad night, but consistency is a must, I'd like the same experience as I've read others have had.

I really want to give 5 stars! But....... here we go. My reservation was for 8:30. My husband and I were seated promptly. Then the fun begins. We saw no greeter, no waitress for 30 minutes. No water, drink order, nothing. A woman comes to our table and apologizes. She brings us water and takes our drink order. We wait another 10 minutes. The table opposite from us, who arrived AFTER us gets their appetizers. The waitress(I'm guessing that's who she was, cause she never gave us a name) came back and asked what was our drink order again! We tell her. She comes back 10 minutes later. She then gets our food orders. Meanwhile, the opposite table gets there food. She brings us some bread. So. 30 minutes later a woman comes out with Lambchops. Not mine nor my husbands. She goes back and then another young lady comes to apologize. She comps our drinks and tells us our food is coming out in the next 5 minutes. It does. And it's phenomenal! That's the ONLY reason why I'm giving 3 stars. The food is to die for!!! I had the seafood overload Mac and cheese. Hubby had the Ribeye cooked medium well. So much crab and lobster! No extra seasoning needed. Hubby didn't need steak sauce at all!!!!! We may give this place another try. But note to the owners.... HIRE NEW STAFF!!!!!!

Well I came here on a date and it did not disappoint. Great food. I mean great, started with the crab cakes But the waiter convinced me to get wings instead and he was right. They came out on fire and it was an amazing presentation, but I was afraid they would be too spicy but they were the right amount of spice and sweet. Then I got the lamb chops w Mac n cheese and both were good. However my date got the loaded seafood crab and lobster Mac n cheese(it looked like my next meal next time I'm there ). It was an amazing dish, the perfect combo. I didn't like that they didn't have an alcoholic drink menu, we didn't even know they had alcoholic beverages until we were past half way there. Overall loved it. Can't wait to go back.

I was extremely disappointed in the service. Made a reservation a month in advance, seated right away and given appetizer fairly quickly. Then waited an hour for entrees which were never received. The waiter was inattentive and only promised our dishes were on the way after we flagged him down repeatedly. Several tables were served the same dishes we ordered even though they arrived after us. Management made no attempts to rectify the issue. Left hungry and highly aggravated. Ruined Valentine's day for my husband and I. P.S. Instead of reaching out to resolve your concerns they just block you. If you choose to try it....Good Luck!

So I love the food here. This is my second time eating here and the food is literally so delicious. The issue is that the staff is not welcoming at all, and the wait time is extreme. My waiter was very nice, but everyone else has attitudes. You have to plan your visit to last around 2.5 hours because it takes so long. Again the food is amazing
