    Walleye
    Jennifer R.

    Kudos to Sam and the entire staff for the gracious, knowledgable, professional service. The food timing was paced out perfectly, Sam made terrific menu recommendations and we did not feel rushed at all. They encourage ordering several plates to share. We tried the miso carrots, the walleye, and the summer pea pasta. All of the plates were artfully decorated and I loved all the combos of flavors and textures. For dessert, we could not pass up the banana cake. Similar flavor to banana bread, with some kind of magical caramel frosting and crunchy almonds. Chartreuse is very deserving of all of those Best of Detroit awards.

    A friend and I met here for dinner on a Saturday evening. We didn't have reservations but they were able to get us seats on the couch up front. Yes, they have an actual couch with a table for seating...it was a great and unique restaurant experience! We enjoyed our seating and our server was friendly and attentive even though we were up front and away from the rest of the dining tables. I believe their menu changes seasonally but they had several options that appealed to us this time! They have a full bar and mocktail options too (y'all know I love a good mocktail) so I was excited about that. We both ended up ordering the mocking bird mocktail (lemon, cinnamon, pomegranate, and orange blossom water). Our server even asked if we wanted on the rocks or straight up! I went for straight up and my friend did on the rocks and we were both so impressed with how flavorful the drinks were. I have thought about that mocktail several times since! Food wise, we ordered the bread service to share and then the Amish roasted chicken and the risotto. The chicken was huge! The sides with it were good and my friend enjoyed the chicken. The risotto was excellent - corn, mushroom, whipped red bell pepper ricotta...so delicious I ate the whole dish! The four smaller slices of bread were underwhelming for the $8 price point so I would skip that next time. Everything else was well worth it for sure though. Thank you for a great evening, Chartreuse Kitchen & Cocktails!

    What a great experience start to finish! The food is fresh, healthy, and delicious and the mocktails are great too! My absolute favorite was the watermelon salad, I will come back here each time I am in town!

    I went to college right down the street from Chartreuse and somehow never made it in, so I'm really happy I finally did! Chartreuse is such a cute date-night spot. The second you walk inside, it feels cozy and warm. The staff is knowledgeable about the menu and genuinely happy to answer questions, which always makes the experience better. The food absolutely lived up to the atmosphere, everything was delicious. I loved my pasta dish, and the rest of my group cleaned their plates too, which says a lot. Definitely worth the visit, even if it takes you a few years to get there like it did me.

    We were Welcomed by Perry, who had Chartreuse slacks on. Our party of 8 arrived about an hour ahead of our Reservation...we were told no problem We were seated in a relaxed area and little tables were brought to serve us water. We were impressed as the table we were to have was extremely and thoroughly cleaned I would say these are small plates, AMAZING taste and Texture.... unfortunately for me I stepped away from the table and the Bread Service was basically devoured other than 1 small piece before I could have some that's how good it was. The setting the service the desire to give us an event of Tasty Food was meant 1 small challenge the restrooms could have had a tad more care Oh when, my dish ( Short ribs) were tooo spicy I traded with my husband and enjoyed his vegetarian Pea dish. WONDERFUL so many ingredients merged into bursts of flavor. Perhaps with the Short Ribs mention there's a tad of heat Am I going back ABSOLUTELY so many more dishes to experience. Prepare to be Welcomed

    3.5 I really liked the vibe in here and thought the food fit the ambiance perfectly. The 100% homemade aspect, down to the pop, was really cool as well. The food was decent (not anything mind blowing), but the GF alterations along with the service made up for it.

    Excellent on ALL levels! Creative, artistic plates, savory flavors and attentive service! If you're a "foodie" GET OVER HERE!!

    We returned after a great show at the Fisher Theater, and once again, we had the most wonderful dinner experience. The staff is so warm and friendly, the cocktails are some of the best in the city, and the food is just phenomenal. I love their eclectic veggie forward menu. This time, we both ordered The Last Word - I would assume their most popular cocktail - and it's absolutely perfect. We also had the smoked beet salad, which was so flavorful with the nicest hint of smoke and creamy ricotta, and was perfect to share with 2 people. My Mom ordered the veggie gnocchi dish which I'd love to go back for. The most pillowy soft gnocchi and super flavorful veggies and sauce. Delicious. I had the prawns and polenta dish, and it was so tasty and comforting; perfect texture and savory flavor. Yum! I kind of wish I ordered dessert; the chai cake sounded amazing - but that will give me a reason to visit sooner rather than later. It was packed early on a Saturday night, so definitely make reservations for the weekend. Vibey music, fun people, always a great experience.

    Nice spot with a chill vibe located in Midtown, stopped in after visiting the DIA. Only grabbed a glass of wine, but enjoyed the wine and spot overall. Will revisit to check out the food.

    Yellow chartreuse and a yummy NA cocktail!
    Ainsley E.

    Came here for our anniversary dinner and it didn't disappoint! Excellent service, nice vibes (though it was quite cold inside). Food was great overall, here are the deets: - Yellow chartreuse: sweeter than green! If you like more of a bite and more anise flavor, go for green. For sweet, yellow. - Cocktails (NA as well) all seem to be solid - Twice-cooked egg: I understand why this has been on the menu since the beginning. I was sad when there was none left, but one order was good for two people. - Smoked beet salad: a favorite among what we tried. Excellent textures here. - Steak tartare: decent tartare, but the weakest dish of the meal. We were expecting traditional bao (soft bun), but it came with odd, very hard to chew fried dough cracker things. Was not a fan. - Capunesi gnocchi: yum! Loved the crispy garlic and olive additions. Very comforting dish. Know that you can add protein if you'd like! - Kobe short rib: wasn't blown away by this, but it was good! The "pastry" isn't a pastry in the traditional sense, it's kind of like cheez-it things sprinkled along for texture. - German chocolate cake: good! Kind of like a frosted brownie. We liked the candy and nuts topping. Overall a good experience! We'd return to try more of the menu, but I don't think we'd go out of our way to do it.

    The Wagyu for the win.

    Enjoyed everything about this restaurant. We enjoyed the heirloom salad, shrimp, risotto and the wagyu beef. Great service, & good drinks ( although pricey).

    Do you need to wear a mask?

    No, a mask is not required here.

    Where is the new outdoor patio and is it open or covered? Are there heaters for cool evenings?

    Our patio is along the outside of the building on Kirby St. Unfortunately we aren’t able to cover it. Hope to see you soon!

    Are there gluten free items on the current dinner menu?

    Definitely! We have many friends who eat a gluten-free diet, so our chef makes the menu with people like you in mind :)… 

    I checked their website.. I can't seem to find their wine list...does anyone have it?

    Hi Mark, we don’t have it posted online... did you have a specific question or did you just want to see the list?

Here is the lay of the land: Check in at the little red table in the center of the outdoor courtyard if you want "full service". - which means eating and drinking at a table with wait staff. It is not seat yourself at the outdoor tables, like we originally thought. There is a nice sized bar indoors and seating at the bar is first come first served. We ordered several of the small plate "snacks" and I can tell you that the hummus is not to be missed. It is served with (homemade?) tortilla chips that are absolutely addictive. They have lots of choices for wine, beer, and cocktails. Towards the back entrance of the property, there is a drink truck where you can also order "walkaway" food and drinks. Not entirely sure where you sit with the food/drinks you order, as most of the seating seemed reserved for full service. Additionally, there is a photo booth for pics (long line) and Warda Patisserie is right next door and accessible through a garden walkway.

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.

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.

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.
