"Situated inside the space formerly occupied by Antihero, Tigerlily is an inspired sushi and robata grill spot that specializes in Edomae-style sushi, shareable small plates, and fireside cooking." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Opening at 231 W. Nine Mile on Wednesday, Aug. 10, this new spot will serve Edomae-style sushi, shareable small plates, and robata “fireside cooking.” Chef Chris Vasquez, a metro Detroit native who comes from Chicago’s critically-acclaimed Momotaro and has worked locally at Maru and Nippon, is helming the kitchen and says, “This is a new kind of sushi that Detroit hasn’t seen,” explaining they will take Edomae techniques and fuse contemporary flavors and techniques while staying authentic. The 4,000-square-foot main dining room, designed by Birmingham architects Ron & Roman, features an open, marble-topped sushi bar set beneath a six-panel mural installation by Detroit artist Glenn Barr, retained from the original Antihero design." - Serena Maria Daniels
"An upcoming downtown Ferndale restaurant slated to open for the summer at 231 West Nine Mile is developing a boundary-pushing sushi program led by executive chef Chris Vasquez, describing the food as a blend of edomae sushi traditions with contemporary techniques to create 'a new kind of sushi' for the area." - Stephanie Carter
"After months of speculation, Ferndale restaurant Antihero has officially been sold to Kramer Restaurant Group." - BethMcKibben
"If you show up early for your reservation at Chez Panisse or want to get a little drunk before you join the line at Cheese Board Pizza, Tigerlily is a good place to camp out for a bit. This Indian restaurant also has a bright, open bar that’s fun to hang out at if you’re the kind of person who doesn’t like going to places that are difficult to get into. The drinks are good, the bartenders are nice, and they also have TVs to watch sports on while you kill time." - Will Kamensky
