MI beef carpaccio
Malisa R.

What an incredible night! I made reservations in advance since it's was my husband's birthday and our first time at Marrow. We found street parking. We were near downtown Detroit so it was a breath of fresh air not to pay for parking. Once we got to the restaurant, we checked in and were greeted by the host and bar team members. They immediately acknowledged my husband's birthday too. Once we were seated, we were offered a complimentary Prosecco toast which we accepted. The server acknowledged my husband's birthday too. I love that! The experience is so important to me! For dinner, we went with the chef's taste since we were newbies. It's $90/person and it gives you a nice taste of multiple items. Our tasting included the following: 1. MI Beef Carpaccio - made with blueberry vinaigrette, cheddar, and toasted hazelnuts. Beautiful presentation and flavors. My only comment, it would have been nice with bread or crackers 2. Gazpacho Verde - cucumber, crème fraiche, herb oil, and roe. Fresh way to start off our meal. 3. Stuffies - littleneck clam, nduja, peppers, and lemon butter. This was one of my favorite snacks! 4. Fried green tomatoes - house made pimento cheese, tomato jam, and chow chow. Delicious! 5. Roasted sea scallops - made with creamed corn, marinated tomatoes, and chorizo vinaigrette. A little spicy but flavors on point 6. Michigan beef - made with charred eggplant, smoked tallow, stone fruit, and a blistered pepper. The cut of beef was hanger and cooked medium rare unless you ask for the steak to be prepared differently. 7. Warm summer cobbler - made with mixed berries, peaches, and sweet corn ice cream. Everything just explodes in your mouth! 8. Birthday treat - peach sour cream ice cream with sprinkles, a chocolate happy birthday sign, and gold candle! Truly a great experience. The restaurant is a butcher shop, bar, and restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining. The patio is dog friendly too. We enjoyed indoor seating right by the window. Love the vibe, natural colors with lots of greens. Everyone was so friendly. The space is small and you will be asked to move to the bar if the next reservation is there. They ask kindly after your meal is finished.

Went to a special seafood boil outside. Started with hush puppies with a crab dipping sauce which was a crowd pleaser. Following came Atlantic oysters. Main course (see photo) was huge with extra large shrimp, mussels, crab legs, clams and crawfish. Everything was fresh and a picnic style ensued. The sauces were hit and miss. The cocktail sauce was not the usual ketchup and horseradish, but a variation of I don't know what. The drawn butter with cajun spice was the crowd pleaser. Desert was either a hollow ween or seabed motif. The dessert consisted of chocolate mousse with ground up Oreo cookie and gummy bears simulating worms. Very attentive servers. An enjoyable summer evening. My pet peeve was watching an employee using the same cloth to wipe the chair seats and table top.

Marrow remains one of my favorite restaurants in Detroit. They never disappoint. It is a place to go and eat, not a place to be seen. This is to say that one goes to Marrow for the food, the experience, and the memories with people you care about.

I had the Smash Burger and it was SO good. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared, and you can tell they put care into the food. The burger was flavorful, cooked perfectly, and honestly one of the better burgers I've had lately. Definitely worth trying if you're looking for a solid, well-made meal!

We had the chefs menu. We had a nice variety of things. Great flavors, the food was well balanced with great textures. the staff was friendly and easy to talk to.

Market: meats for sale.

Heard good things so I had to try it. We had a reservation but I would for sure sit at the bar if I come in again. Started with the Marrow which came with an onion jam and was really nice. For dinner had the smoked duck that came with a pureed mashed potato which was absolutely amazing. My friends had a ribeye and a flat iron steak. Overall everything was outstanding. They have a market also and bought some ground beef to go. For sure will be coming back.

Bone marrow
Maisha R.

Celebrated NYE at Marrow with friends and had the best time! It was my first time trying caviar and I actually loved it so much. The bone marrow here is always a favorite--so rich and delicious. Fun atmosphere, great service, and just an awesome way to ring in the new year. Definitely coming back!

I'd been to Marrow once for lunchtime and this time returned for dinner. There are some really good dishes like the mushroom dumplings. I also tried rabbit and the butchers pick which I can't remember exactly what it was (a steak of some sort)... both were fine. Drinks were okay too. The service was good and the servers were friendly. It is pretty expensive, I don't know if I can say it's worth paying a ton of money but do try once.

We had the chef's tasting menu and found the dishes spotty, mostly in terms of composition. We love scallops with any kind of bacon or pancetta, but this scallop dish was overwhelmed by the other flavors, leaving the scallop behind. The corn served as part of the dish was the best thing on the plate. We had a similar response to another dish that felt equally poorly composed. We got the beverage pairing with our tasting menu which we also found oddly coordinated with the food. Normally we love a beverage pairing and always sip our drink first, then try it again after taking a bite of the accompanying dish to see how one enhanced the other. Time after time we found the pairing to be poor choice with the dish. Strange. I know this place has been nominated multiple times for James Beard awards, but it feels like it's either trying too hard or just a bit lost. Hard to tell from one visit.

We went for lunch so I could get the Smashburger. The lunch counter is quite small. You eat at the bar and they don't take reservations. The bartender seemed a bit overwhelmed and seated us quickly, but then didn't take our order for quite some time. The drinks were very good, though. We had a couple mocktails - the espresso and a grapefruit one. Both were absolutely delicious. The burger was amazing - one of the best smash burgers I've ever had. The meat was super flavorful and it was saucy with a soft bun. I would absolutely return for that. The french fries were perfectly cooked. I really really enjoyed those too. They were not an afterthought. My husband got the steak sandwich. I didn't love it, but he really enjoyed it. I felt there were too many fighting flavors. We also got some of the house made lamb kafta to take home and that was really good the next day.

Went to marrow for the first time and did the tasting menu. I loved the background our server shared on the sustainable, no waste values. All the dishes had complex flavors of acid, sweetness and savory. Meats were cooked perfectly. Definitely on the higher end price point but worth it once in a while.

Inside

We went here for dinner and had an amazing time!! The ambiance is nice and the staff is very sweet. They offer a tasting menu if that's up your alley but we went with recommendations off the menu from our waiter and it did not disappoint! Hands down the absolutely best thing was the mushroom dumplings!! They are literally one of the best things I have ever eaten! When I tell you I would eat here everyday just for those I wholeheartedly mean that! We had an amazing time and everything we had was great! I cannot wait to come back and bring friends!

Potato croquettes
Irene S.

Fantastic dinner & fantastic service (as always). We had potato croquettes, charcuterie, tuna crudo, skirt steak, monk fish, cavatelli, duck baklava, & my personal favorite, the mushroom dumplings. Complimentary rhubarb sorbet for the birthday boy was a hit! Love this place so much...:However, it is a cell phone dead zone....so if you're on call, have teenagers, a cell phone addiction, or legitimately need to be reachable, proceed with caution. If you want to be present & live in the moment....perfect!!

Ask the Community - Marrow

Is Beef Wellington available all the time?

No, Marrow's menu is changed regularly. Beef Wellington or not still a restaurant worth trying.

What is parking like in this area of Detroit? Street or are there any lots/decks nearby?

There's a tiny lot along the side of Marrow, and street parking. Practice your parallel parking before heading to the restaurant! :)

Are you only able to make reservations a week in advance?

Sometimes it's about two weeks in advance, but that might just depend on when they open up the reservation window. I knew I was going to visit on a particular date and stalked the platform for a few weeks to gage availability. I almost always found… 

How much does the prix fixe dinner cost per person?

It was $55 per person, which was a pretty fair value for what was included. Cocktails were ~$11-15 and draft beers were ~$7-8.

What are the restraunts hours? What yelp has seems odd.

I'd recommend making reservations. Butcher Shop…

Had such an amazing experience at Standby!! The food and especially the drinks were outstanding…read more The cocktail menu was organized into three parts: Opening, Principals, and Finish. The theme was "Yes, Chef: An exploration of culinary icons through a cocktail lens." Each drink was inspired by or dedicated to a famous culinary icon, and you can read about each one in the index. We each ordered one drink from each section. From the Opening, I chose the Diaspora Club, which was so refreshing and delicious. Then from the Principals, I chose the Chingona, which was a little bit spicy and savory but still so refreshing. To Finish, I chose the Chocolatier Cosmo, which came with a tiny house-made salted dark chocolate. I loved all three cocktails I ordered, especially the chocolatier cosmo because it was perfectly sweet and went so well with the small piece of chocolate. For food, we started off with the crispy pork belly milk bread. For my entree, I ordered the miso butter gnocchi. It was kind of on the salty side but I still really liked it. The apple sofrito added a bit of sweetness to it. For dessert, we had to get the rhubarb coffee cake, which came with strawberry ice cream. Omg one of the best desserts I've ever had!! I never thought of combining cinnamon coffee cake with rhubarb or strawberry but it's perfect, and I might have to make something like that soon. Service was great and we were seated right away at 8pm on a Saturday despite not having a reservation. Food and drinks came out promptly and timed perfectly. We spent about 1.5 hours here and we never felt rushed.

The pork belly on toast and roasted carrots were absolutely delicious. About the drinks, these bartenders know their stuff. I ordered a late 1800s gin drink called the Clover Club and he knew right away what it was and made it perfectly. The guy had skills behind the bar and showed some flair making drinks. The vibe was super chill and relaxed with good music gently played in the background. Highly recommended this spot if you're in Detroit.
