Chartreuse Kitchen & Cocktails - Detroit (MI)

5 /5 Carolyn: 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 its 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 Id 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.

4 /5 Ashley Yaldo: Overall our experience as a group was so lovely. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff (all of them) so attentive, kind, and punctual. It’s an experience worth having. Highly recommend. When looking at the menu it moves from light to heaviest as you go down the list. We were a group of three and ordered a total of 8 plates, and it was too much food. We all ordered drinks. I had the Mockingbird Mocktail. It was a 5/5. I really enjoyed it. Another ordered a Long Island, which they do different by making their own cola, which is more herbal. It’s really nice. And the last drink which was also really good was the Finale Word (similar to the Last Word on the menu but made with bourbon). Dinner items Bread Service: it was warm, fresh baked, and the butter was a nice touch. It was nice way to start the meal. Twice Cooked Egg: this was probably the best salad I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this salad. It was so lovely and my favorite dish of the whole meal. Smoked Fish Cakes: as someone who is not a huge fish fan these were made very well. Seasoned well and I like that they were not a heavy coated and deep fried cake. Fried Potato Salad: this was my least favorite menu item. I felt as though the flavors all together didn’t work great. It felt like a lot and a bit heavy. Pork Belly: this was an interesting take on spices and flavors. It was an overall interesting combination that works well. The pork belly itself was cooked very well. It was delicious. Goat Confit: I wish I had liked this more. The goat was fried and a bit too crispy for my liking. I might not order it again, but it was worth trying. Amish Chicken: The onion jam was a bit salty for me. The chicken itself was good well but heavily coated in spice. The spatzle was good. I honestly preferred that over the chicken itself. Sundried Spinach Fettuccine: I enjoyed this dish a lot. It was very spring from me. It was somewhat difficult to share because the pasta itself was hard to serve with a spoon. I would order it again.

5 /5 Natalie A: Last time I went here was 10 years ago and the food is still just as good. The dill pickle cocktail was SO good. We shared most everything and were not disappointed with anything. Portions were good sizes.

5 /5 La Marr Hayze: Awesome experience. The food was flavorful, plated well, drinks were refreshing. Service was amazing, helpful, and super accommodating. Portion sizes were good for the price. It seems like it could be very noisy depending on where you sit and the traffic but was not an issue. The inside has a lot of character. The only downside is you cant get attached to a seasonal menu.

5 /5 Courtney Pulitzer Joubeaud: This was recommended to me by family and friends who live in Detroit. I tried the twice cooked egg, which is highly reviewed by others. It wasnt my favorite but I also had the sourdough bread which was yummy and a delicious butter that came with it. Then also had the stone fruit and melon and feta salad which was absolutely Divine! I love that they serve free still or sparkling water on tap. Also. Nice touch!
