Chartreuse Kitchen & Cocktails

Beautiful restaurant with a wonderful staff. They went out of their way to make my wife feel special on her birthday. To top it off the food was outstanding. Very impressed!

Unique, fresh and delicious entrées and salads! Outstanding service and chefs, fun cocktail menu and atmosphere! I came in here alone (after a solo day at the DIA), and they all made me feel so welcome. I ordered two dishes because I had been wanting to try this spot for so long, and they were both incredible! (Pro-tip: Their non-alcoholic cocktails are stellar, too!)

I recently had the pleasure of dining at
Chartreuse, and I was very impressed with the food, drinks, and service.

The cocktails were made with fresh ingredients and were perfectly balanced. 🍸

The food was also fresh and delicious, and there were a few gluten-free options available, which was great.

The service was also very accommodating and friendly. I would definitely recommend Chartreuse to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

Made reservations on a Friday night. When we arrived, we were warmly greeted and seated immediately. The restaurant was packed and lively. We anticipated a wait but was pleasantly surprised when our waiter appeared in less than 5 minutes. He patiently went through the menu, thoroughly explaining the ingredients in each dish. We ordered all at once and sat back to wait for the food. Once again, to our surprise, the dishes began to arrive one after the other and in order. From there, it just got better. The dishes were delicious and perfectly seasoned. We will definitely be coming
back!

What a gem! We've been wanting to try this place for a while and I'm so happy we did! The whole experience was incredible. The restaurant, decor, and atmosphere was really chill and comfortable. The service was impeccable. The food was amazing. I both love and hate that the menu changes so frequently, because you can't really fall in love with anything and expect it to be there the next time you visit.. but, I also love trying new things, and I do like that there will always be something new and different.

We each got a starter, and we also got one starter and one dinner got our meals. Everything was incredible delicious. From my understanding, the Twice Cooked Egg is almost always on the menu, and I highly, highly recommend it. It was my favorite item I tried. I'm still thinking about it all these weeks later. :)

They have some really great cocktails and mocktails, so there is something for everyone.

My husband and I were referred here by The Inn on Ferry Street (where we were staying, which I also give 5-stars!) and we loved it SO much, we came back the next night too (which happened to be Valentine's Day)! EVERY member of their staff is outstanding, excelling in topnotch service and friendliness (special shout out to Jack!), and the food was absolutely exquisite in uniqueness (is that a word?) and flavor. LOVE their concept that each dish is meant to be shared (much like tapas), so we ordered 4 choices (including dessert), which seemed just right for the 2 of us. We highly recommend the fish curry, twice cooked egg, the Madagascar vanilla pudding (dessert), and the Mockingbird (non-alcoholic cocktail). The atmosphere is just the right combination of comfortable and classy, but without that "snooty" feel of some other dining establishments that we walked into (and out of) in the area. When we came back the next evening, everyone there thanked us for coming back again (!), and even gave us our drink for free for doing so! Wow, we can't wait to come back next time we're in the Detroit area.

Our favorite restaurant. We've lived in multiple states and it's one of the best restaurants we have eaten at. The service is always great and every dish is well thought out. We usually never eat a dessert but the madagascar pudding....get it!! If they have the crispy duck on the menu....get it!!

Possibly the best hospitality I've ever received at a restaurant. Everyone did a fantastic job. Food was great and ambiance was great as well. Food portions are a little small so I'd recommend getting more than you think you need. The place was packed when we went for dinner on a Tuesday, so it was a little loud, but other than that, I'd give this restaurant 10 stars!

I could not even wait to get home to review this restaurant! An absolute must try! Every plate was amazing and extremely flavorful. Our server was amazing as well and had so many recommendations. Cocktails were delicious as well. My cocktail had homemade limeade in it and it was delightful. (Little Lula). The menu changes every few weeks and we can’t wait to go back. Do yourself a favor and support this restaurant in Detroit!

I've been wanting to try Chartreuse for a while now, and I'm so happy I finally did! All of the staff were friendly and very helpful, and it seemed like they enjoyed working here, always a good sign of a well run business. I sat in the gorgeous lounge and was more and more delighted by each thing I tasted. The food and cocktails were delicious. I highly recommend the grilled quail, it was seasoned to absolute perfection and such a well-balanced dish. I will definitely be treating myself to another meal here soon! My only complaint is that I didn’t stop in sooner.

This was such a perfect experience all around. The atmosphere is cozy and casual but the food brings a sense of elegance. We ordered based on our servers recommendation and it was absolutely worth it. We had the rabbit, double cooked egg, mushroom ricotta, and shrimp skewers. Each dish was simplistic in the best way and packed with flavour. Everything tasted fresh and was served with enough time in between courses. We will absolutely be back !

This place is absolutely amazing! The ambiance is so hip and relaxing! I’m vegan, my husband is not, we both left very happy! Everything is from scratch and beyond delicious! Our waitress Katie was a doll! 5 stars!!!

It’s been a while since I’ve been to a place that has both great food and great cocktails, so this was really refreshing. Our waiter was great at accommodating for dietary restrictions, which we really appreciated. The twice cooked egg was outstanding, definitely a highlight on the menu. Also I just generally appreciate how Chartreuse and its employees are not at all pretentious. I feel like a lot of restaurants with this quality of food and drink fall into the common pitfall of pretentious service and ambience, so it’s refreshing to find a place that is warm, welcoming, and relaxed for a change.

My partner and I are in town for the Detroit Grand Prix and came here for a truly fantastic dinner. The service was outstanding, the cocktails were great and the food was out of this world. We will definitely come back!

The chef is preparing foods for those with adventurous and discerning palates. Its on my list of top 5 restaurants in Michigan.
Believe all the 5 star reviews which includes the service!

Our dinner was exceptional. From the second we sat down, I knew we were in capable hands. Our server, Melissa, was able to suggest dishes based on our preferences. Delicious. Fresh. Full of flavor and lovely presentation.

Had a great experience here. The food and drinks were fantastic. Our favorites were the twice baked egg, malai kafta, and strawberry hand pie. Parking was easy to find nearby and the restaurant has a really cool vibe. Will definitely be going back.

This was easily one of the best dining experiences that I've had. The food, the staff, everything was incredible. I'll be talking about this meal for a long time. This is what eating out should feel like.

Some of the most attentive service you will find. The dishes are meant for sharing, so keep that in mind. The drink menu is unique and delicious. If you like Charteuse, then this is the place for you.

My husband and I were so impressed with this place! It was so bright and cheerful! We loved the open kitchen. The service was top 3 restaurants we have ever been to. Katy was phenomenal and so attentive. We let her decide what we should eat since we are foodies and not picky.

Katy started us off with the crab salad which wasn't on the menu and the steak tartare. The crab salad was creamy and had that pop of acid from the grilled mandarins and yuzu. The steak tartare was earthy and I loved the pickled mushrooms. That black garlic purée gave it a sweetness and funkiness it needed. The second plates were the twice cooked egg and spare ribs. The twice cooked egg was a great idea! The salad was so rich! I loved the Brussel sprouts and mix of greens, but it was super sweet. It needed acid and salt. I was looking for some relief from the richness of the salad. The ribs were amazing! They were sticky and perfectly cooked. That raw potato salad was addicting. It was crunchy, had such a great umami flavor, and spicy. The combination was amazing! Our last plates were the pork belly and the sweet potatoes. Cherry bacon jam on those sweet potatoes was so delicious that I wanted to tip the bowl and drink it all up! The tartness of the cherries, salt from the feta and the smokiness from the bacon mixed with the sweetness of the potatoes was perfection! The pork belly was cooked nicely and I liked the spiciness and pickled vegetables. It would have been better if we didn't have the spare ribs. We finished with the pudding! This is not your mom's pudding. It was thick and rich and packed with flavor. I love the basil oil and rosemary in the cookies. It needed that relief from the powerful vanilla pudding.

This was by far top 3 restaurants we have ever been to. The service, food, and ambiance was exceptional! We would definitely come back if we are in Detroit! Just stellar!
