Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Detroit right now.
Each wave of immigrants to Detroit has made a culinary mark: You'll find soul food in the inner city, a vibrant Mexican community on the West Side, and Greek restaurants in Greektown. Detroiters often dine across the river in Windsor, Ontario, where a favorable rate of exchange makes for good values.
The seasonally changing menu here highlights fresh ingredients and features innovative tuna, salmon, and beef dishes, but the signature dish is rack of lamb. Top it all off with the homemade white chocolate ice cream with roasted macadamia nuts on purees of passion fruit and raspberry. The art-filled dining room is all marble and rosewood, with terrific views of the Detroit River and Windsor skyline.
A venerable Detroit institution, this spot recalls a time when elegant restaurants had boardroom decor, lots of oil paintings, and wood. The menu is of similar vintage: steaks, chops, Dover sole, and the club's famous baby back ribs.
Once the mansion of lumber baron David Whitney, this posh restaurant turns out creative American dishes, snappy pastas, and very fresh seafood. Brunch is served on Sunday, and lunch is available Tuesday through Friday.
