About this restaurant

Innovative
Romantic
Good for special occasions

In Greece they have Mezze. In Spain they call it Tapas. In China they have Dim Sum. Italy has Antipasti. And in America, we have Small Plates- a uniquely communal dining experience where the only thing more stimulating than the culinary collision of flavors in our signature dishes is the company of those around you. Unbound by the limitations of regional flavor or color, Small Plates offers the palette a selection of cuisine as diverse as America itself.

Welcome to Small Plates. Our story began over a decade ago in Detroit, MI. Small Plates was the first restaurant of its kind in the United States and still possesses the federal trademark to our name and concept. We seek not only to serve our native Detroit, but also to carry exceptional cuisine and the spirit of this great city across the nation. Demonstrating quality in untapped culinary genres and reinventing ourselves along the way, Small Plates has never lost our vision of where we've come from or where we’re going.

The restaurant was busy, not enough wait staff. Orders were forgotten, It took us asking 3 people for water and plates to finally receive them, when the water did come, the waiter just filled our empty pop glasses. The food was poor. The fried tomatoes were bland, the poke bowl was rice with some tuna and about 3 ounces of soya sauce, and The mac and cheese was taste less . We remember it being a much better restaurant. The waiter tried to make up for, all the problems,but he fell short.

We made reservations after looking on line for gluten free options. We were very disappointed that the waitress wasn't very knowledgeable about what was gluten free and didn't seem to take it very seriously. Probably won't go back. The meals we got were good and the overall selection was nice.

I wanted to celebrate my sisters birthday. I told them it was her birthday and even called in advanced. We didn't get to the desert. It took an hour to get our food. We asked for well done lamb chops and the they served them rare. I was disappointed with the chicken and waffles. The chicken was bland and the waffles were bricks. The only thing that made our night were the sweet potato fries. They were good.

Small Plates is apparently one of Detroits old favourites - but we had not heard of it. But it is worth popping in for some amazing small plates! Great beer and wine too.
