There was a 2 top table at the back that we were seated at - we could have sat at the bar also - and it was a great spot. We ordered the tasting menu and WOW, every course was amazing. I'll post pics because the presentation was gorgeous for each item. They have a small cocktail and wine and beer selection, but that was fine. My son got their Shrub Mocktail and I got the Shrub with Sake. Both were delicious and so interesting. I can't pick a favorite item because they were all so good, but the Torched Mackerel and Poached Bosc Pear were tied for #1, followed by the Salmon, Oysters and the crazy good Blood Orange dessert. The shrimp toast was just ok for me, not bad, just not as good as everything else. Additionally the service was outstanding. For a tiny place they did everything right. They explained each course, brought out fresh utensils for every course - YEA! - and made sure we had good pacing. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly and enhanced our meal. I really want to come back and try the oysters and some of the tinned items. I'm so excited I found Mink and will be back for sure.

For my birthday, my brother gave me a gift card to Mink, so we decided to ring in the new year by…read morefinally giving it a try--and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. As others have mentioned, seating is somewhat limited, but that only adds to the excellent service and intimate experience. I wish I remembered the names of our server and the manager because they were incredibly kind, accommodating, and helpful throughout the evening. One example of the thoughtful service: I was torn between two white wines, and since my partner ordered one of them, our server offered to bring a small sample of the other so I could compare and choose what I liked best. We also mentioned that we had never tried caviar before but didn't want to commit to a larger portion. They suggested a "bump" for $5 each, walked us through how to enjoy it properly (on the hand, letting it warm slightly), and made the experience feel fun and approachable. We were seated at the bar, which gave us the opportunity to chat more with the server and manager and watch the team prepare dishes for other tables. It genuinely felt like sitting at the chef's table. We both opted for the tasting menu, which changes from time to time, and we were very happy with the selection. We also added the lobster roll, and our server thoughtfully timed it so we could enjoy it alongside the warmer course. The meal began with two different oysters, one topped with caviar, giving us another chance to enjoy it. Next was the shrimp cocktail, which included wasabi--but not in an overpowering way. The flavor was present yet balanced, allowing everything else to shine. The escargot course was especially creative and delicious, paired with basil oil, pepper jelly, and hints of balsamic. While it might sound unusual, the flavors blended beautifully. I expected the pepper jelly to dominate, but it was surprisingly subtle. Next was the potato pavé served with a scallop. The textures were remarkably similar, and the scallop was cooked perfectly. The lobster roll was very good, though I personally found the bread a bit denser than I prefer--I usually like a more buttery, Texas-toast style--but my partner loved it. The turbot followed, accompanied by a chestnut beurre blanc that was incredibly silky and flavorful. It paired wonderfully with the king trumpet mushrooms, black truffle and the fish. The final tasting course was the petit fours: three small cakes--matcha, red velvet, and ginger molasses. They were slightly dense, but still a nice way to end the meal. We also added the house-made basil ice cream (because the basil oil earlier was so good), and that was an excellent decision. Although my birthday had been a few months earlier, once the staff heard we were using a birthday gift card, they surprised me with vanilla ice cream, sprinkles, and a candle--such a thoughtful and unexpected touch. They also treated us to a small glass of dessert wine. By the end of the night, we knew we had found our new favorite place to celebrate. The overall experience is absolutely worth the price point, and I only wish more places were like Mink. We can't wait to return.

Offered to fully the fish at tableside. This removed the major bones. The lobster was a nice size. For an appetizer, we tried the oyster Rockefellers those were just all right. They were too cheesy in my opinion. I was looking forward to getting some sushi. But was informed they may be doing away with the sushi. The drinks were excellent The bartender even had an extra punch-- a little went a long way. The ambience at this location is nice cause you're looking out to the water from the Detroit Riverfront. There is parking across from the entrance where you can get exchanged for a validated ticket, this would be nice to know when making reservations. There are only select garages that they will validate. I enjoyed my birthday dinner. I was a good meal.

You do your thing, get what you need. I picked up six pounds of lobster claws and knuckles for $250--still a solid deal for high-quality meat. Yes, it comes frozen, but that's how it goes.

First time here and was not disappointed!…read more I picked this place based on its Yelp reviews. We were tired of going to the same places over and over for dinner so I picked a few towns over and the highest rated restaurant. Oh man! Here is how things shook out: Lobster salad sliders: 5 out of 5 stars. I would eat these again Portuguese garlic beef sliders: 2 out of 5 stars. I wanted to love these but the taste was slightly reminiscent of liver to me. Hubby LOVED it though so take my review with a grain of salt. Lemongrass mussels: 4/5. Definitely good but not my fav Seared tuna: 5/5. I would eat this all day, every day. I adore seared tuna. This was sliced thicker than I am used to but it was delicious! Grilled octopus salad: 5/5. This is tied with the tuna as my fav. So fresh and perfect for a hot summer evening meal!
