    This is the place by the Plating company that had the toxic spill on 696. They have a green drink to commemorate the event

    Everything was fantastic! Three of us shared two apps, three entrees, and three desserts. It was a…read morelot of food but we, quite literally, cleaned our plates. Service was stellar. We leaned on our server for lots of info and he did a great job explaining items and convincing us to order some things we might not have otherwise. (Get the garlic sauce!) The desserts were an especially fun surprise. I don't love sweets much but I wanted to lick the donut plate. And we enjoyed an after dinner vermouth that I will be going back for.

    Bar Gabi was delicious - as expected! I was a little disappointed that the main focus of the…read moreValentines weekend was the pre-set menu, and they didn't have some of the menu items I was eyeing prior to my visit (I went for my 30th birthday dinner on the 13th). We had the sausage, Langos, and Brussels sprouts for appetizers; the sea bass for the main entree; and several deserts (our favorite was the blueberry pastry type one). The service was very great and our waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu. Probably the most surprisingly delicious thing I had was the Hugo spritz, I will literally go back for that one! I loved the atmosphere of the front part of the restaurant; however the back of the restaurant I felt was kinda lacking and I wish the put my group in the front part, especially since I made the reservation over a month ahead of time. My one complaint is that the prices were quite high - I have been to many foodie Detroit restaurants and am aware when I go to these restaurants that I will be spending a pretty penny. I felt for its location and the value of the food, I felt it was a little overpriced. I felt the appetizers were the best price for amount of food, but the entree and desert prices were hard to justify in my eyes. The next time I go back, I'll probably just get a bar seating and order the spritz with rigatoni and call it a day.

The sandwich originated in Chicago, so I like that Matt & Mo's has a replica of Wrigley Field's ivy wall. On the flip side, I didn't like being charged a 4% fee for paying with a card. My wife ordered a pepperoni pizza puff along with French fries. The pizza puff fell apart too easily, and was basically a larger version of a Totino's pizza roll. The fries were standard. With my sandwich, I ordered poutine. The consistency and flavor of the gravy made the poutine much better than average. As for the Italian beef, it did not disappoint. I regret getting just sweet peppers, as I should have gotten either hot or mild peppers with the sweet. I did get the whole sandwich dipped in au jus, which was the right move. This was my first time having an Italian beef, so it's hard to judge, but I definitely enjoyed it. Next time, I will bring cash to pay, and might even try some of the other menu items. I look forward to trying Doug's Delight, as well.

    Service was amazing. I've never had an italian beef before but I was talked through the toppings,…read morespices, and sauces. Very patient and great vibes at the order and pickup window. I ordered the combo which is possibly the best sandwich I've ever had. Moist/well-seasoned beef, garlic bread with just right amount of garlic, italian sausage, and I added provolone as well. Everything meshed together perfectly.

The potatoes were tasty as well and of course, the mocktail was really good. My server was very informative about the dishes I ordered (seeing it was my first time dining here) and friendly.

I took my mom here for her birthday and it's a great place for special occasions. Reservations open up 30 days in advance and I'm really happy I was able to secure one. My mom had been wanting to come here for years and it definitely exceeded expectations. The menu changes every few weeks and everything was fantastic. The best clam chowder I've ever had! Manila clams in the shell, cream, onion, celery, cubed crunchy potatoes, crispy oyster crackers that never got soggy, and jalapeños that added the perfect kick. We also tried the mushroom bisque, an earthy vegan option with a coconut milk base. The Plancha bread paired nicely with both soups, with flavors of roasted garlic, oregano, and za'atar. The Szechuan broccolini had a lovely spice and crisp texture, with jalapeño, garlic, basil, and mint. The Carbonarancini dish was a combination of Arancini and Carbonara. Balls of deliciousness, eggy garlic aioli, and shaved prosciutto. Really interesting! I appreciate the inventive menu. For dessert, we had the carrot cheesecake, which was a lovely combination of carrot cake and cheesecake. French press coffee to go along with it. Cocktails were fantastic too! I loved the Bada Bing with vodka, cherry cordial, chamomile, and orange bitters. Sweet and flavorful. My mom enjoyed the Las Frambuesas with Mezcal and raspberry cordial. The atmosphere is so cool and moody. Gorgeous stained glass windows give the space a sexy, warm, red glow. Candles are sprinkled throughout the space and impressive medieval lighting fixtures hang from the ceiling. It feels magical and intimate. The food is high quality and creative, but there is no dress code. Some people were dressed casually and others dressed up. Warm and welcoming vibes. I definitely recommend. Special memories created here!

What we didn't expect was to be completely blown away. From the second we walked in, the bartender greeted us like we were regulars, and that alone sold us on sitting at the bar. Best decision. We're bar sitters through and through, and between the bartender, a friendly regular who scooted over for us, and literally every person we interacted with, the vibe was unmatched. I worked in the service industry in a former life, so I know how rare it is to find a place where everyone is friendly. There's usually at least one Debbie Downer. Not here. No rushing, great recommendations, and zero feeling like you're "that couple" taking up bar space. Drinks and beer selection were solid, but let's talk food because ambiance and service are only half the equation. We started with the coney dog egg rolls and... wow. Epic. Unique. Immediately set the bar high. Then we ordered the fish and chips and the short rib sandwich. The fish was perfectly breaded, the remoulade was on point, and those skinny fries were dangerous. But the star of the show? The short rib sandwich. Holy shit. I don't normally eat onions or horseradish, but somehow this sandwich converted me. The caramelized onions weren't overpowering, the sauce wasn't spicy, and everything just worked. We literally woke up the next morning talking about how we need it again. The bartender filled us in on happy hour and all the food options, and we're already planning our return. Total hidden gem on Woodward. Highly recommend. Thanks for a great Saturday night!

We didn't order cocktails, and the burgers took over half an hour to arrive on a not-crowded Tuesday. More importantly, despite the recent thaw, it was uncomfortably cold, and you could see a number of other patrons wearing their coats (as we were)
