IridescenceGreat DinnerBest place at the major casinos in Detroit. Great night view and variety of food you will not find elsewhere. A must to go to in Detroit.6/15/2013 12:00:00 AMBest...This was the best restaurant experience I have had in quite awhile. Everything about it was outstanding.6/15/2013 12:00:00 AMUnique ambience, good foodThe food first of all was unique and unusual, the presentation was superior, the service excellent, and the ambience of the restaurant was surprising. Our waiter was ethnic and had excellent understanding of the chef's style and even of the daily specials which, by the way, seemed (even though we did not partake) to be very special indeed and included a seven course medley of surprises the chef would present to those who ordered this. Prices were appropriate, so be warned that this restaurant is not for those unprepared to spend an average of $150-$200 for a meal for two.6/15/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat dining experienceGreat food. Great Service. Easy to make reservations online. Enjoyed the whole experience very much.6/14/2013 12:00:00 AMWhat an experience!Menu items are incredible!

The staff is attentive to your every want and the food is outstanding. I think my new favorite dish on the menu is the ciopicinno. It is full of my favorite shellfish, creamy risotto and a light and slightly spicy broth.6/13/2013 12:00:00 AMhave been at this restauranthave been at this restaurant many times. i use mycomp points.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food, great serviceI brought my girlfriend to Iridescence for a date night out. The main reason that I chose the restaurant was because they had Wagyu there for a limited time. I was slightly disappointed to find out that they were out. I was delightfully surprised when our server came back to let me know that the chef had two portions left that they were able to prepare for me! The experience was pleasant and fulfilling from start to finish.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMpamperedTop notch service from Helios. The food was prepared excellent and was delish.

Jamie's knowledge and professionalism made our dining experience unparalleled . Jamie's recommendations for both food and wine selections were both intuitive and informative. Her personality was a perfect blend of sense of humour and intelligence. As I spend quite a bit of time in restaurants all over the world I would rate Jamie's performance as one of the best I've ever experienced! The culinary experience also was superb as well from the main courses to the desert everything, every detail was executed to the highest possible levels!5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellentThe chef special was the best

This time we had the Chef's tasting which is a seven course dinner. A little expensive, but well worth the price paid. We had caviar, lobster, filet mignon, foie gras, pork belly taco, dessert all served by chef personally. He explained all of the components of each dish and the inspiration for them. This was by far the best dining experience we've ever had at any restaurant. Plan on spending a few hours to enjoy this.5/22/2013 12:00:00 AMFRESH, FUN EXPERIENCEUNIQUE ATMOSPHERE. FRESH PRESENTATIONS. STAFF SEEMED TO ENJOY SERVING THIS CUSTOMER.5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMFINE DiningIncredible dining experience. Food outstanding. Treated like you're special by all of the staff5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat tasting menu!Great food, lots of variety, chef came by to explain some of the courses.

Well paced, appropriarely sized portions for the number of courses.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMPERFECTthe view was wonderful, the food was like a dream, our server was outstanding! surf and turf special was just what I wanted.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMSpecial occasionTook my boyfriend for his birthday (the first we are celebrating together since beginning to date). It was wonderful - he had the chateuabriand, I had the tofu (mixed relationship - carnivore and vegetarian!) - he said it was the best piece of meat he'd ever eaten. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Attire was business casual or better, we opted to dress up (suit/cocktail dress). A couple seated next to us was in a sloppy t-shirt and jeans, there were others in shorts and sport shirts. I get that this restaurant is within a casino ... but really, there is nowhere that passes for business casual!5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMCocktail and dinner,EVERYTHING ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCE WAS TOP NOTCH. WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO ANYONE WANTING A FINE EVENING OUT.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful timeMy wife and I had dinner at Iridescence on May 17 and it was a memorable experience. Our waitress Jamey really took care of everything with her recommendations for wine and dinner selections. The view was wonderful as well; great look of the city and river with ships going up and down the river. I would highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions. The food selections are limited but all are worth trying. Prices seem steep but you get what you pay for and portions are large. I had the Salmon and it was at least 12 oz. portion and very filling; my wife had the NY strip steak which was very good as well.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat time...once again!Even better than last time. Food was great, waitress was great! Definitely will be back!5/16/2013 12:00:00 AMInventive preparation/presentationVery high quality ingredients, creative preparation, perfect saucing, and professional presentation. Entrees (fish, chicken), salads and appetizers were simply exceptional. The only mis-step was the dry aged ribeye, which lacked flavor and texture. All in all, however, this was a superb Mother's Day choice. We will be returning on another special occasion. Kudos to the kitchen.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMIt was Beautiful ! Me andIt was Beautiful ! Me and my mom had a wonderful time at the mothers day brunch. I cant wait to come back for a romantic date ! It was beautiful !5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMlove the placeLove everything in this place, from the time we get in to the time we leave, service is very good and the food is great. I recommend it to everyone.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Birthday OuttingI took my fiancée to Iridescence for her birthday which proved to be an excellent choice. The view from the top floor at Motor City Casino was amazing only surpassed by the excellent service and the creativity of the meals. The price was a bit more then I had expected so it may not be a weekly event. But certainly once a month is not out of the question. For two of us including drinks and tips it ran about $150.00. But like I said....I'd both recommend it and go back in a heart beat.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMHelio's Delivers Exquisite ServiceOur waiter was superb and made us feel special. We even told him to just pick the wine because he is that good!
Highly recommended for foodies and anyone who wants to be wowed by not only outstanding food, but above and beyond service. Also note that Chef Benjamin is truly a world class chef and we will be back. I highly recommend the motherboard appetizer. Thank you to all the Chef's and Staff.5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMFabulous experienceThis was our first time dining here and it won't be the last. We really enjoyed all three courses we had, The Cyclical salad was the most innovative I've ever had. The salmon was outstanding and the tropical fruit sampler for dessert was just superb. We really liked the coconut chocolate chip ice cream and the passion fruit creme brulee. The service as well as ambience just made the evening perfect.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMWow!We loved the ambience and decor of the restaurant. It has such a beautiful view of the city. The bread basket was divine. We really liked the customer service provided by our server, Helios. He was very knowledgeable and professional. We would definitely go again.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMSkylineGreat food, staff, and what a view. Can't wait to dine there again.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMLots of food. No room for dessert.Very good service. Pricey but worth it for special occasion.5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMStaff is outstanding, fromStaff is outstanding, from the hostess to the wait staff - everyone is helpful and PLEASANT - a tough combination to find - definitely 4 DIAMOND service. The food is divine - jumbo shrimp cocktail - mmmm. Scallops that melt in your mouth. The beef dishes are grand - 24oz ribeye could feed a party of 4. Chateaubriand huge. Our party of 4 had leftovers the next day. The best lamb dish I've had in years...sorry Greektown!!5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMIridescence is one of theIridescence is one of the top restaurants in the city. We go often and we've never been disappointed (well, the kale that accompanied my whitefish was just a tad salty). The food is always great, the service impeccable and the setting spectacular. Go for a romantic evening, a special occassion, take friends or out of towners - you can't miss.4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMWOWZERSP-H-E-N-O-M-I-N-A-L. Hands down the best DRW experience to date. My husband and I celebrated our birthdays in a window seat for two. It is a bit hard to convince him to go downtown since he's not from Michigan (PHX) and isn't impressed with Detroit AT ALL. However, on this joyous occasion, he couldn't keep from closing his eyes to savor the food and tell me that we will definitely be back here. I had to stop him from licking the plate ;) We are foodies at heart and all 3 courses were delicious. I can't wait to come back and experience the regular menu - especially the gost cheese & beet salad. The ambiance is classy from the parking to the top floor. The night time view and service were equally wonderful. THIS is how you do it Detroit!4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent! Nothing more toExcellent! Nothing more to say, if you haven't been there it is a must place to eat.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMGorgeous ViewGorgeous view. Was slightly disappointed that I made a note during my reservation that I preferred a table next to the window, we were seated more in the middle if the room and within 5 minutes there were multiple window tables open for the remainder of our meal, I would have waited a few extra minutes for the table we wanted next to the view we paid for. Overall I was impressed with the food and service.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMTop Kat & Goldie love IridescenceMy wife and I dined at Iridescence for our 11th anniversary. We had a window-side table with a breathtaking view of Detroit, the river and across to Canada. It was Detroit Restaurant Week and we partook of the prix fixe menu. We had the good fortune to get Bao Ly as our server. She remembered us from three years ago. I had the Bouillabaise and my wife had the Caprese - both appetisers were awesome. She had the whitefish and I had the braised beef rib. Once again, excellent, with really nice presentation. Executive Chef Benjamin Meyer was nice enough to share how to make the creamy, delicious polenta they had prepared. Finally, the peanut butter mousse, banana ice cream & chocolate wafer dessert was a decadent ending to a superb meal.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMPhenomenal view, very chicPhenomenal view, very chic and well presented. Elegant presentation of all dishes. The waitress was great, let us try the wine before buying a bottle, very helpful in selecting dishes since she had tried them herself. Appetizer of bouillabaisse was fantastic, had the whitefish for dinner. Great portion sizes, and incredibly flavor ful. The peanut butter bar dessert was fabulous. Even the bread was artisanal. Fantastic choice for restaurant week, great value for the money. Based on the normal restaurant prices, not sure if I'd go for their regular menu. Might go back for appetizers and wine flights at the bar.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMVery good food, drinks andVery good food, drinks and service. Pricey but worth it for a special occaision.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMIridescence Has It AllIridescence has it ALL. The food is outstanding. I have never had a more well thought out and prepared meal. Everyone in my party declared their food excellent. The appetizer of pork belly nacho served in a mini fry pan was not only visually beautiful, but delicious. Main course of short rib was full of complex flavors that worked perfectly together. Peanut butter chocolate bar doesn't totally describe the dessert which also has a banana foster, salted peanuts and a mini ice cream scoop! Service can only be described as impeccable! Our waitperson knew details about each dish, made thoughtful recommendations and was incredibly attentive without being bothersome. Each time one of us got up from the table our napkin was refolded!4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMWe really appreciated beingWe really appreciated being able to go to Iridescence during Detroit Restaurant Week.
