Upscale eatery featuring steaks, seafood, and lobster bisque
"Owned and operated by chef Omar Mitchell and located in Greektown, this restaurant was chosen as the launch site for Detroit’s Dining with Confidence ordinance and received the first color-coded health inspection placard. City officials, including chief public health officer Denise Fair Razo and City Council Member Scott Benson, announced the new red/green/white placard system there, using the venue as a public-facing example of the program meant to increase transparency about inspection results." - Serena Maria Daniels
"An intimate restaurant that will host an invitation-only Black Renaissance Dinner from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 13 as part of the larger Black Food and Wine programming." - Serena Maria Daniels
"The Greektown restaurant owned by chef Omar Mitchell that hosted a Black History Month culinary celebration where the chef participated among other Black male chefs; it served as a gathering space for collaborative events highlighting Black culinary talent." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Previously a white-tablecloth fine-dining restaurant on Detroit’s Avenue of Fashion, Mitchell’s 70-seat Table No. 2 was packed as soon as it opened in 2019, but business was immediately hurt by a city construction project to improve walkability and add bike lanes and then further strained by the coronavirus; the landlord sold the building amid the pandemic, forcing Mitchell to close Table No. 2 in May 2020. He says he was flooded with offers for space after the closure, reviewed roughly three dozen properties, and — while he chose a friend’s space for Imaginate — he plans to reopen Table No. 2 and is in lengthy negotiations for a downtown Detroit site." - Monica Williams
"I felt a pang about Table No. 2’s closing; it seemed too soon, though Omar Mitchell says the restaurant is only temporarily closed and will return in another location soon." - Brenna Houck
