    View from the roof!
    Erica C.

    My experience was amazing. From the moment you walk in, you are transported to another place. From the views, to the amazing service, to the food, this place needs to be on your list!

    Got to experience the grand opening of Top, the new rooftop bar at the AC Hotel in Detroit. I can honestly say this spot has some of the best views of the city I have seen yet. All the stadiums stand out beautifully and looking down the stretch of Woodward Avenue was quite beautiful. The outdoor area is lovely, they have both an open and a covered section, fire pits for cooler days like today and a similar feel to the outdoor area of the monarch club, which is not surprising as they are sister locations. Inside is warm woods but light and bright. The menu leans Basque, but that is a guess based on nothing more than the fact there is a restaurant in Austin, TX with the name Kalimotxo, which is the name of a drink on this menu, and they have a Basque forward menu. Speaking of the menu, it is limited but pleasant. I did a couple of tapas items and they were both nice, I will especially recommend the empanadas. But they did have a couple of bigger dishes that looked great also which I will try another time. If nothing else come out here for a drink and soak up the views. I can't wait to check it out again at night.

    Views were amazing, staff was attentive and courteous. The drinks were a bit small for the price but were delicious. I recommend the Monolith and the Capri. Food was excellent as well. We had the chopped salad, empanadas and bread with hummus and zhug dips. Would return

    We attended the grand opening tonight and it seemed to go very smoothly. We had reservations, which I highly recommend. If it were warmer, or a weekend, I believe this place would have been slammed. It was rather chilly so we chose to sit inside at the bar. At first I was worried because many rooftop bars only have great views if you sit on the actual outside patio. But my fears were unnecessary. The indoor bar even had spectacular views. You can basically see the entire city up here. I absolutely loved it! They had a nice variety of cocktails, I didn't really check out the wine or beer list. Their menu was very small. I would like to see more options but I'm assuming that would come. They had a variety of small plates available. We chose to split the Empanadas and I believe Quail (?) Croquets. The empanadas were delicious! I could eat a dozen. The Croquets weren't my favorite but to be fair, I wasn't feeling well so my taste buds may have been altered. The couple next to us got the lamb and that looked incredible. I was tempted to try one of each dish but for reined in. Lol. All of the drinks were fabulous, The service was great, particularly for a grand opening! You could tell they had an experienced staff. Ambiance was great and the views were outstanding. I can't wait to come back on a warm day and enjoy the beautiful views!

    Let's call it what it is... great views but a hotel bar restaurant. That's it. Food was okay.

It's located in a…read more110-year-old church garage, and there's a beautiful courtyard outside for guests to either sit on the grass or their picnic tables. Just an overall beautiful space. The inside restaurant area is also beautiful. We wanted to sit inside at the bar, so we waited for some seats to open up. If you want to sit outside, all you have to do is order at the bar and they'll serve your drinks in plastic cups for you to take outside. The rhubarb pie punch was so delicious I had to order it twice! Probably one of my favorite cocktails I've ever had. I also ordered the maurixio cattelan, which tasted like ginger ale. For a snack before dinner, we chose to get the burrata and it was so refreshing. The service was great and our bartender was super friendly! The logo with the little lamb is adorable. I bought one of their wine glasses with their logo on it too for just $10.

Nate and I stopped in on our most recent visit to Detroit and had a lovely experience. The space is tucked away but had a surprising amount of outdoor space--we were there in January but I'd love to come back in the summer. We were greeted right away and given a spot near the bar. The menu includes cocktails, lots of wine, and several tasty food options. It was quite busy inside, so it took a bit of time for our server to come over to us, but we weren't in a rush. They had ten cocktails on their list and I tried the bullet proof soul and Nate got the negroni alla perra. The ingredients list for some of the cocktails include things I've never heard of, but at a place like this, I just know it's going to be good. Our drinks were perfectly balanced and very tasty. We also ordered the mortadella sandwich to split--this was delicious. It was pretty messy, but worth it. It was perfectly toasted and full of mortadella. Everything on the menu sounded delicious and I would love to try more of the food options. Can't wait to visit again!

Our server was very welcoming and helped to set up our food order into courses that allowed us a very relaxing evening Cocktails were really good. I had a Last Word and it was very well done. The restaurant is decorated very nicely with warm wood trim. The bar area looked stellar and very French-bistro like. I will sit there next time No so Highs Food was good, but just OK. Between the two of us we had the beet salad, burger and steak tartare. Burger was good, but not the best smash burger that I've had. Beet salad was fine, however the cream cheese was a bit overpowering against the orange oil. It was dying for some citrus. Steak tartare was a bit dry, meaning that a small dab of olive oil would have added to the richness and overall mouth feel. I did not really taste the egg although I did see a dab of yolk on the tartare. Needed a bit of salt also to enhance the taste Menu was small, but it did cover a cross section of French bistro dishes. All in all, I thought it was a bit overpriced. So I will have to consider returning for a full meal. I would come back for a burger and beer at the bar.

Located in the basement level of an1880's Victorian mansion. Vibe is cozy, cool, eclectic. Drinks are crafted to complement the scent notes of their perfumes. Menu changes seasonally. Ellie was bartending this evening (and she's excellent). Two fav drinks were Land of Origin and Dust & Clay. Small bites like nuts (specially made for them by the Detroit Nut Co.) and charcuterie boards are available. Take home items like perfumes, candles, spirits, and apparel are available. Parking is easy and mostly free on the street. Special little place in a great neighborhood. Make reservations for the tastings or walk in.

They have scents for sale, one of the co-owners wrote a book that I highly recommend if you have an interest in science behind spirits.

They've had curated educational experiences that dive tried including the science behind gin, sole gin, and even bartending. I've not tried the scent making but hope to before 2026 changes. I found Castalia during lockdown and bought cubes that helped me make cocktails at home. Been hooked ever since. Worth a visit nonetheless!

    I'm not usually a "hotel lobby bar" kinda person, but we were looking for a place to have drinks…read moreand some bites after a show at the DSO and decided to walk here. I was very pleasantly surprised! The space is beautiful, classy, and airy. We sat at the bar and had a nice chat -- the music was at a good volume. I only ordered wine -- their wine list is alright. Not bad for a bar that's clearly not wine-focused. My wife and a friend had cocktails and they both were good, particularly their espresso martini. For food, we shared patatas bravas, tortilla española, and croquetas de jamon, and they were all delicious. I'd legit come back for a full dinner. My only reason to not give this 5 stars is the drink service was very slow, even though the place wasn't busy. The two bartenders seemed friendly enough but weren't communicating very well, and kept forgetting to take and/or bring our orders. We also asked for the check and they kept forgetting to bring it until we asked again. Overall, it was a positive experience and a nice surprise, but I hope the odd bar service was just a one-off blip.

    Unfortunately the staff was in a tough position when we came to try the Conservatory, as there was…read moreonly one person in the back and nearly half of their menu was unavailable. They could have been upfront about this, but our waiter didn't tell us until after bringing us drinks, letting us see the menus, and after he started to take our orders. We essentially had to ask---what *do* you have? One pet peeve of mine is that they give everyone low ball glasses for water with no ice and a single, narrow carafe of water for the entire table. We had to continuously ask for more water. I tried the espresso no-tini ($11), a mocktail. It was good, but came in cordial glass and was essentially just a shot of chilled espresso. The setas ($14) were listed as a local wild mushroom blend with garlic and lemon. It was probably about a half cup of mushrooms, grilled, and served in a saucer. Finally, the charcuterie y queso ($21) was meat, cheese, sourdough, mustard, pickles, and honey. Everything was very salty and with no variation. It needed balance with a soft cheese, spice, or more sweetness. My charcuterie plate didn't come out until about an hour plus after we ordered, after multiple asks. It's hard to justify the delay when it's just hard cheese and meat, they didn't have to cook, and there were few other customers. (Essentially, we forgot). I still had a wonderful time with my friends in a beautiful space, but I wouldn't come here to eat again. The menu is elaboratey described dishes that come in very small portions and with ingredients that don't live up to the names.
