We enjoyed the seafood tower however my husband ordered the large filet medium rare & it was barely pink. We also celebrated 2 birthdays at the table but there was no acknowledgement of that other than our server wishing them a happy birthday.Maybe you don’t provide complimentary desserts for special occasions so why bother asking? Our servers were excellent, friendly & attentive. Your prices exceed the value of your meals however.

Great service from Helios. Had funny stories and his recommendations were on point. Always there when we needed him, but never overbearing. Sat by the window and enjoyed the view of downtown Detroit and the Ambassador bridge. As to the food, everything was amazing. Their steaks are perfectly prepared. Asparagus was great. To finish it all of, the “Melting Chocolate Sphere” was incredible. There presentation of the dessert is worth the price of admission alone, never mind the amazing dessert itself! Iridescence is not a cheap restaurant and you will definitely pay for the experience, but for my money, the experience is well worth it. A great date night/special occasion restaurant!

The food - THE TUNA APPETIZER. Get it. Amazing. So good- not your usual. -the oysters. No wonder they are written about all the time. -I always say I don’t like octopus because of the texture. The guys wanted it. I tried it. I like octopus now. -A tomato bisque may sound basic but it was perfection. - the guys all had steaks. I stole MANY bites. -The new short rib is so good. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the short rib was so freaking tender. Grits were flavorful and perfect with the sauce. -get both the 24k gold chocolate peanut butter dessert and the old fashioned cake. You need both in your life. The service Our server, Graham, was so kind, funny, and personable. He was helpful with recommendations but not pushy. We have always had exceptional service there. Other high end places should seriously take note on how it’s done. The view Can’t beat it.
