    Hands down the best restaurant in Detroit! The food is thoughtfully prepared, the flavors are unique and varied, and the service is exceptional. The menu changes regularly as the chef sources fresh ingredients from Eastern Market, so there’s always a new dish to try. Their menu is built around shared small plates, which we love—just something to keep in mind. I live in Los Angeles and always look forward to coming back to this restaurant whenever I’m in town visiting family. I’ve yet to find a dish I haven’t loved!

    Was extremely impressed here. We didn’t get to make it in for EAT Detroit, so we came for a celebration and date night. It was superb! Top 3 calamari I’ve ever had. Steaks were delicious and cooked perfectly! Ribs were fall off the bone delicious. Looking forward to coming back another time in the future for date night again.
