Locally sourced meats, inventive dishes, and a renowned tasting menu
"Named one of Eater’s best new restaurants in 2019, Marrow is an essential source for local meats. In addition to offering destination-worthy meals like a prix fixe, a la carte options like the roasted bone marrow, and fun classes to learn all manner of cooking techniques, Marrow makes a really impressive smash burger that leans in on the spot’s butchery expertise. Each burger comes with two well-done patties made with beef and bits of bacon, pickles, local greens, American cheese, and Marrow’s own creamy Kerch sauce — all served in a sesame seed bun. Expect to find the burger on the lunch menu and occasionally on the dinner menu, too, at both the Detroit and Birmingham outposts. Folks can book a table on Resy. Best for: Marrow offers lunch service, a somewhat unique offering for a critically lauded dining establishment in Detroit. Reservations are not required during lunch." - Danny Palumbo
"West Village’s award-winning butcher shop and restaurant Marrow offers an a la carte menu and a five-course chef’s tasting dinner for $90 per person. The menu changes daily, but expect a strong representation from Michigan farms. Menu items have included roasted local squash, roasted Michigan beets, and of course, locally sourced meats and bone marrow served with onion jam and black olive bread crumbs. Substitutions or alterations are not allowed, but when you make your reservation, be sure to note any allergies or dietary restrictions with your tasting menu request. The menu always features a few items not available on the a la carte menu, so get the tasting dinner if you’re seeking delicious and inspired farm-fresh creations. Reservations are required." - Danny Palumbo
"Named one of Eater’s best new restaurants in 2019, Marrow has been a crucial source for everything from local meats and cheeses to flour and beer and wine. The West Village butcher shop and restaurant features a five-course tasting menu to give diners a little taste of everything, as well as a la carte options like roasted bone marrow, local maitake, crayfish dumplings, ricotta gnocchi, or the baklava doughnut, which resembles a beignet with its airy, crispy layers of honey and candied nuts. The kitchen is helmed by chef Sarah Welch, who, on top of running a restaurant, has been a contestant on two seasons of Top Chef. For a more elaborate affair, be sure to look into Marrow’s five-course chef’s tasting dinner for $90. Marrow is also expanding its footprint, with plans to open an ambitious space in Eastern Market and, in late 2024 the crew launched a casual outpost in Birmingham. Reservations are available on Resy. Vibe check: In 2024, Marrow added a lunch menu, available 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday, making it one of a small number of fine dining establishments in the city to offer daytime service." - Serena Maria Daniels
"This award-winning restaurant-butcher shop combo is so much more than that with a menu showcasing offal in various dumplings and pickled shrimp. Over time, Marrow has come to embrace its status as a destination for patrons seeking out a quality, locally sourced steak dinner. On top of prime butcher’s cuts, the always-changing menu also features beef tartare and roasted marrow (of course), and an excellently executed variety of locally sourced vegetables to complement the meats. Order something a la carte or invest in the $90 per person Chef’s Selection. Reservations are accepted through Resy, and Maybe grab a steak or some sausage from the case to-go." - Danny Palumbo
"A planned fall opening will bring a restaurant representing the African diaspora to a revitalized market building on Riopelle; it is positioned alongside other East Side projects but specific menu and service details have not yet been announced." - Serena Maria Daniels
