Had I been able to eat simple, junk bar food, I'm sure I would have been very happy. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Steak was horribly overcooked - ordered rare but served well done (waiter took this off the bill). Corned beef tasted good.

Chef James Rigato is on his game at this restaurant! We sat at the bar, and the staff is energetic and deeply committed to providing unique spins on sometimes traditional offeringsâoysters, shrimp, lamb... We were blown away. The chefâs tasting menu, with accompanying wine is totally worth doing. The food is carefully and creatively prepared, bold twists on flavors. Wine pairings were inventive and delicious. Do not miss!

We had dinner on a Friday night before going to the Detroit Symphony down the street at Orchestra Hall. The place was packed! It didnât take that long to get a table, but it took 1/2 hour to get the food. While we did arrive on time for the concert I would never try this combination again.Decorations are great: lots of good pictures from rock bands, nicely framed. The 2nd floor gives you a nice view of downtown Detroit and it has a stage for live music. Had the pulled pork sandwich: very flavorful. We also tried the chicken tacos: good, a bit too spicy for my taste. There is parking available. And the Detroit Q-Line stops right in front of the restaurant.

A dining experience at The Whitney is so much more than simply a meal. Visit The Ghostbar for a cocktail and appetizer before dining in one of the Mansion's opulent dining rooms. Weather permitting, you may prefer to dine Fountain-side in the beautiful Wh

This is a fine dining establishment so bring your credit card. I have not been here for many years and was pleasantly surprised. It has a traditional menu, but the quality is excellent. Ask for an upstairs dining room... I prefer the atmospere and access to the Ghost Bar. We all had the Beef Wellington and it was good though it might have been warmer. The ladies loved the specialty cocktails...not so expensive if you make the happy hour. Lovely turn of the century decor.We love to see that we continue to impress you even years down the road. Welcoming you back was an absolute pleasure, and we're delighted to see you finally order from our menu again. Everyone has their dining room preferences, and we have to agree that the Ghostbar is a great environment to enjoy happy hour and our signature dishes in. Bringing the things you love most about us back to the table was certainly a lovely experience. Hope to welcome you back again. It's always great to have you.Best,Dave Duey, Manager

Grey Ghost is easily the best restaurant I have ever been to in Detroit. Everything from the magnificent craft cocktails to the phenomenal tiramisu and everything in between was to die for. The oysters were perfectly shucked and dressed. The octopus puttanesca on top of their homemade mozzarella was worth the trip alone. I can not say enough about the quality of food and service. Our server Angela always pointed us in the right direction and the entire staff made sure our glass was always full and are table was clean.

We ate a super late meal here (1:00am) and it definitely hit the spot. There are many different choices in the food court (Asian, Italian, fried/comfort food, burgers, hot dogs, etc.) We ended up getting the double cheeseburgers from Relish, and they were actually really good. A bit overpriced, but that's what you expect from being inside of the casino. It's no different from Vegas, really.

Every argument over the best coney island hotdog in metro Detroit always includes American, Lafayette, and usually Duley's. Another one that always seems to come up is Red Hots. I grew up in Detroit and lived in the metro area for 42 years before moving to North Carolina 16 years ago. I had never even heard of Red Hots, but I kept seeing it mentioned in the same way as the others that I really like, so I made a mental note to stop in on my next Detroit visit. Today was the day. I went in at lunch time and ordered two coneys, fries and a coke. I'll tell you right now that these coneys are the equal to anything in Metro Detroit, including the classic places I already mentioned. And for me, that's not even the best part.The best part is the history and character of this restaurant. First opened in 1921, it sat about a block away from Henry Ford's Model T plant, guaranteeing a thriving lunch business. The restaurant has been run by the same family since day 1.The owners are talkative and friendly, and they seem to know most of their customers on a first name basis. The place is clean, and oozes character.If you aren't familiar with this area, be forewarned. Highland Park is an old, poor suburb, surrounded entirely by the city of Detroit. I like places like this. I grew up in Detroit and feel comfortable exploring areas like this. I'm always aware of my surroundings, but in this case I never felt remotely unsafe. If you are the type of person who would never go downtown, even in the daytime, you may want to eat someplace else. As for me, I'll be back, and next time I'll bring my wife along.

We always finish our weekend visits to Detroit with Sunday brunch at Seldon Standard. The menu has something new to offer every time we visit and each dish is prepared so perfectly. I'm a somewhat picky eater but at Seldon Standard I've ordered things outside my comfort zone and been impressed every single time. As a vegetarian, I appreciate that there's always a few options for me to choose from. Make sure to come hungry because you may want to order an extra side to fully enjoy the delicious menu. I hope to come for dinner sometime soon!
1. Chartreuse Kitchen & Cocktails

While tasting at The Detroit Whiskey Company, it was suggested we eat dinner at the Chartreuse Kitchen & Cocktails. So we made an on-line reservation that cost 20 bucks! What the ....? Since when do you have to pay to make a restaurant reservation? We eat out A LOT, all over the USA and this was a first. We went to the Chartreuse and as we were being seated, I made it a point to inquire about the 20 buck "Lucky You" charge. They assured me we would get a Complimentary Discount (another What the ...) since we actually showed up for our reservation. Then sheepishly they explained the charge was to insure that people with reservations actually show up, because it happened in the past that there were some no-shows. The Chartreuse's convoluted solution is to penalize the 95% of us who actually make our reservations because 5% didn't. Wonder how many customer's Chartreuse misses out on because once they hit that 20 dollar on-line fee to make a res, they go somewhere else to reserve for free.Oh yes - about the actual restaurant. Its a trendy, gentrified little place with a very eclectic menu and very expensive wine. Managed to find something we would eat and it was very tasty for each of us. The kitchen is slow, so be patient. The crowd that night was mainly hipsters, millennials, locals, techkies, suburbanites and a few of us oldsters. No early-bird or senior discounts here...Hello yowilly2019,It sounds like there may have been a misunderstanding. The $20 you paid when making a reservation was a deposit, not a charge or a fee... That deposit is fully refunded once you come in, or if you cancel the reservation in enough time for us to fill it. We're not crazy about having this policy in place either, but unfortunately no-shows are a much more significant issue for restaurants in Detroit these days. Before instituting this policy, more than a third of our reservations were either no-shows or last minute cancellations- we'd end up turning away dozens of requests for reservations only to have a half-empty restaurant for most of the night. If we continued without it, it would cost us over $80,000 per year in lost revenue. While some restaurants intentionally overbook, but we chose this policy because on the off-chance that everyone does show up, we don't feel it's right to make someone wait an hour and a half for their reservation. While we completely understand your frustration, hopefully you understand our situation- we certainly don't want to punish anyone, and appreciate you honoring the reservation you made!
