As a novice of woodworking, I was blown-away by the intricate woodwork and finishings throughout the home. The three ladies that lead our tour of the home shared many interesting details about the property, its restoration, and details of Clara and Henry's years at the estate. Many of the restoration stories, like finding a tub for Henry's bathroom or how Clara had a section repainted white were intriguing. Even though much of the home, especially the second floor, is still being restored it was a fascinating experience.

The site here is open for limited hours and is fenced off from the surrounding university and…read moreparkland, which I guess is their right but which nonetheless was annoying for me as a visitor. There wasn't much actually open amongst the majestic-looking buildings while I was there, but the picnic area was hopping. The signage was bilingual-in English and Arabic-and what appeared to be a Yemeni wedding seemed to be taking place. The juxtaposition of the estate of an industrialist (or robber baron, or visionary, or racist, depending on your point of view) with a distinctive immigrant community makes for a striking reflection on Americana. The grounds include some gardens, and a lake with a path around it. Access to the river is limited, but it didn't look like that impressive of a river. The greenery is more worthwhile.

Absolutely amazing trip to the Henry Ford museum! I thought it might be all about cars, but it…read moreisn't -- it's SO much more! The docents are friendly and knowledgeable. Every part of the museum is well-curated, clean, and fascinating. I wanted to try the little old-school diner car inside the museum, but it closed right before we went to eat (that was my fault, but note it closes at 3pm.) However the other cafe was nice for a cookie and coffee break! The special exhibit on fabrics was OUTSTANDING. I love how it was approached through a historical lens of both fabric innovation and fashion together. The variety of time periods and examples blew my mind. Seriously well done and I've been to a lot of museums around the world. This exhibit alone is one of the best I've seen. We spent the better part of a day just inside the museum. We will be making another trip for the outdoor historic village because it looks awesome, too. Can't believe it took me my whole life to visit. Shame on me. Don't be like me. Go visit this amazing place!

When we went to Detroit, MI for our cross country trip. The Henry Ford Museum was an absolutely…read moreexcellent place for various reasons: We went to the rogue factory on the first hour of our tour, where our guide discussed an amazing history of Henry Ford, the inventor of Ford vehicles himself. Later on, we went across the gangway and into a gigantic assembly line job site. There were workers who were building most popular trucks called F150s. They were really cool, but one of my dad's favorites of all time was the 1964 Mustang. Once the factory tour was over, we went into the museum, where a lot of exhibits showed us some old fashioned convertibles, horse-drawn carriages, 1890s style steam trains, and of course, a brief history of American Industry, including the Declaration of Independence. This place is definitely a must-visit. Very cool histories to be shown.

Park Place in Dearborn used to be a go-to spot, but since the ownership change in 2025, it just…read moredoesn't feel the same. Someone who's been to several events there recently said the experience was pretty disappointing. The event seemed short-staffed, so things didn't run smoothly for guests. The food was also an issue--some of it was undercooked, and they even ran out before everyone was served. What stood out most was that management never really came out to check on things or address any of the problems. Overall, it didn't live up to what people used to expect from Park Place, and it's probably not a top choice right now.

So helpful and personable. The food was delicious. It was a buffet with very fresh salad, delicious ranch, warm rolls. The lunch selections were park place chicken, kielbasa & kraut, red potatoes, and green beans. Seriously the chicken was incredible. My aunt selected a white cake with strawberries as the dessert, it was excellent. It was made in-house, cut and served beautifully, plated on two dessert tables. So I was able to really look at each piece to find the one with the most frosting :) The hall is unassuming from the road (Outer Drive), but once inside you find a real gem, it's so clean, professional, and really nice.

If you don't have cash, you can just sit at the table and order with the QR code and they bring it to you. We tried so cheesy and the shawarma truck. Everything was good. I think we like the shawarma the best. We also tried Nami for their Japanese crispy sandos. The sandos did not use the traditional bread that is supposed to be used so the taste was not what I'm used to. The filling was also different. It was more of a cream cheese instead of a cream taste. Also, different than what I'm used to. Still a really good dessert. I will definitely come back and try much other things.

That's the only potential "drawback" really, like if there's too many people you simply might struggle to find a seat. It can and does get completely full. At least you can still take your food to go! I love the set up of having food and drinks inside AND food trucks outside. What a treat. There's coffee, boba, ice cream, sushi, tacos, burgers, chicken and waffles?! And there's some little shops, at least one, which had jewelry when I went. Overall, if you are meeting with someone to chat, come here. If you're hungry, I assure you'll find something. It's good for a casual date or catch up with friends and family. High energy but not chaotic.

It was a complete accident that we discovered that the Ford Conference and Event Center is…read moreavailable for weddings in addition to Ford meetings and other Ford functions. We had our wedding reception in the Gallery area, and I know every one of guests would agree with us in that it's one of the most unique venues there is for wedding receptions. Our original planner had to move away unexpectedly, so her boss took over the remainder of the planning process. She was very professional and was very knowledgeable when it came to the selection of the food menu, as well as providing ideas for the floorplan layout and décor. She was never pushy with her ideas at all, which helps reduce the amount stress a bride-to-be has to deal with already. The caterer is Opus-One, and the offerings for weddings are truly top notch. We were offered a complimentary tasting for 4 several weeks before wedding. For the appetizers, the Mini Chicken Wellington was the crowd favorite. For the entrée, the Rock Shrimp, Bay Scallop and Snow Crab Fettuccine was the favorite, the Wilted Spinach was an awesome veggie, the Yukon Gold Whipped Potatoes was awesome, and the favorite dessert was the Opus-One chocolate chunk cookies, served with vanilla ice cream. The top shelf open bar was very well received as well. As for cost, it's really not any more expensive than the "wedding factories" that hosts 3-4 wedding receptions on the same day, at the same time. You're getting so much more in terms of ambiance, quality of food, uniqueness for spending the same amount of money. Overall, we loved having our reception at the Ford CEC. Everything turned out perfect and the flow of the evening was seamless. I highly recommend anyone to consider the Ford CEC as a wedding reception venue.

I've contemplated leaving this review for a while, but decided that I need to express how I felt…read morewith my experience with AK Floral. I hired them for my wedding last month. While I do feel as though some aspects of their work were nice, it was nothing like what I asked for. Personally, what is important to me is to have my vision come true, or at the least know what I am getting myself into. Had the florist set the expectations properly I would not have been as disappointed as I am. As someone who has been planning and dreaming of my wedding for years, I am extremely saddened by the end result. I made a document with very very clear inspiration pictures, the end result was absolutely nothing like what was in the pictures. Unfortunately, I cannot go back to the past and change my wedding day florals, and what I am most upset about is I will never get a chance to have my vision come true. As a bride, I have spent a tremendous amount of time in an effort to provide details and examples which would ensure I was understood. My planning was all pointless in the end. The day before the wedding I arrived to pick up the boutonnieres- the florists were working on my wedding flowers. Although my inspiration pictures were very clearly neutral and blush colors, I mistakenly used the term "pink" to describe what I wanted. As a result most of the flowers used were a very bright fluorescent pink. I asked them to replace the flowers as it was absolutely nothing like what I wanted. He stated that he already ordered the flowers and that there was nothing he could do in an attempt to provide the colors that I wanted, instead he took out the flowers that were bright pink. As a result my arrangements were not nearly as full as they should have been, and not what we paid for. The large centerpieces I selected looked awful in my opinion. They also were absolutely nothing like the inspo pictures. We paid to have two dozen hanging roses, but they only had one dozen hanging roses. I made sure to state that I wanted all of the hanging flowers to be the same color. So removing the bright pink flowers should not be an excuse as to why the other dozen were not provided. As a result there were less flowers. In the documents with my vision, I was sure to write that I did not want hydrangeas at my wedding. Upon walking into the venue I immediately noticed that there were hydrangeas. I have looked over our invoice which stated that we were only doing greenery. I am sure that they thought I would not pay attention to or notice this, but it was really frustrating to me. My decision to chose AK floral as my wedding florist was driven by the fact that he seems reputable, has great reviews online and also works closely with several reputable wedding planners. While I made my vision VERY clear with SEVERAL pages of inspiration pictures, I truly believe he did not care to look at my inspiration pictures, hear about my vision or even pay attention to me. I am unsure if this is because I was not a wedding planner, or did not have a wedding planner. We paid over our budget in an attempt to ensure that our flowers would be beautiful and that our vision was executed. Even so, that unfortunately was not the case. I truly felt like I was "disposable" or just another bride. The final takeaway from this is to the business is, I truly wish you the best of luck and sincerely hope that no other bride or couple will have to face my same frustrations. I definitely believe that this business has the potential to be a great one. My advice to the florist is to set expectations to the bride VERY CLEARLY. There was a lot of "yes I can do this" but the results were not in line with promises made. A lot of this interaction can truly be a game of he said she said, and I have considered that while I am only one bride planning one wedding and they are event florists consistently doing multiple events- a lot my requests may have got lost in transition. To that I say, there should be a better effort to document properly on their end and be as descriptive as possible.

We ordered salad, falafels, lentil soup, French fries, rice, chicken, and hummus. The falafel was different from the usual falafel you get elsewhere, It was much softer and had such a delicious, moist texture, now.... they cook the best lentil soup I've ever had in my life!! French fries were cooked perfectly. The chicken breast was also really GOOD!! My husband ordered a full portion of chicken, and he was blown away by how flavorful and tender it was. And the hummus is an absolute MUST. I LOOOVE IT!!!! We ordered way too much because everything looked so good, and at some point we literally had to tell ourselves, "Okay, we need to stop eating." Lol We live in Chicago, and I tbh.... can't think of a Mediterranean restaurant there that compares to this place. Plus service and staff was great, and the aesthetic of the place is beautiful, super chic!
