Vertical Detroit

We went back for dinner again before the DSO, and this place was just as enjoyable a second time around. We asked for Ayesha, and she's such a delight! Excellent service!!We had the asparagus salad...so yummy. Poached egg / Prosciutto / Frisée / ParmesanWe followed that with the Mushroom Risotto:Wild Mushroom / Caramelized Onion / ParmesanWe also had the halibut special. Our fish was cooked to perfection, and the purée it was served over was super creamy. I don't remember what the purée was. For dessert, we had the creme brûlée, which was topped with rows of strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries.I wish the restrooms were in a bit more innocuous place, as we were seated at a table that faced them. Other than that, we had a most spectacular evening. Rounded up from 4.5 stars.

Recently been exploring a lot of nice restaurants in and around Detroit and so far Vertical is my favorite. So much so that I went back 3x this last month. The food is amazing. Never ordered anything here that I haven't completely loved.The mushroom risotto is unreal. So happy we got this as an appetizer so we could all try it. Probably my favorite thing here which is hard bc everything is so dang good. The filet - everything it needs to be and this makes me happy. I hate when I order a steak somewhere and it's a let down or the chefs are "doing to much". This is just perfect. The grapes appetizer was so good I started attempted making this as an appetizer at home.The creme brulee and chocolate dessert 10/10seriously so happy that even the dessert is up to par.

Came into town to go to a concert. We wanted to find a place we could go to close to our AirBnB. Since Vertical was in the same building it was the perfect choice. Beautiful space - both inside and out. Reminds you of one of the basement restaurants in New York. We entered and were promptly greeted by the hostess. We asked if we could sit at the bar - though we couldn't see one. They looked and said sure. We followed her through a narrow area with cozy seating and wine bottles displayed like Crown Jewels. They found us a spot at the bar, even though they were preparing for a wine event that was taking place that night. We were greeted by the bar staff. A team of individuals that were ready and willing to meet your requests promptly and efficiently. Katie was our go to person. She has a bubbly personality that makes you feel welcome. We ordered the mussels and a Caesar salad. Both were exceptional- but I have to say the mussels won the night. If you have an opportunity plan a trip to the exceptional restaurant.

Had a reservation here yesterday. We were sat quickly, the vibe is very cool. Very wine cellar. Our server Iesha was great, she was very knowledgeable about the menu and helpful when choosing dishes. My absolute favorite thing on the menu was the mussels appetizer. It's so flavorful, and the broth you could literally drink. The rest of the items were all good, but I would specifically go back just for those. I thought I had more photos of the meal but for some reason they are gone?

This place is such a vibe! Located under a restaurant, I loved the lighting and decor upon arrival. We went as a group and split a few dishes, including the carrots which were roasted nicely. I also tried the tagliatelle pasta and lamb strip and enjoyed both! Service was good as well.

Food and ambience always good! Servers are nice and wine selection on point! Definitely a go to!

Great dinner w/ business associates. Vertical lived up to the hype. Tried the grilled octopus, honey focaccia, and local sourced charcuterie board appetizers. The focaccia was average, not really focaccia, but good nonetheless. Charcuterie and grilled octopus were spectacular. Ordered the ribeye steak with a side of cheesy grits. Steak was perfectly cooked with a nice savory sauce. Finished with Earl Grey panna cotta. A really surprising dessert, great layers of texture and very balanced flavor. Service was top notch and the ambiance was definitely modern and luxurious. Great meal, great restaurant!

I have dined in at Vertical a few times and it has become our family favorite before evening Lions games! The service is great, food is amazing and the atmosphere is perfect. You will see the family ownership vibe amongst the team and the hard work everyone puts in to make the experience great for their guests. I look forward to many more visits and memories made with the family here!

Came here alone on a Tuesday night. Sat at the bar inside.It's empty inside. Outside is packed. Has Paris vibes, the outside sitting. I remembered the waiter from last time. He was friendly and helpful today. I let him know I wanted a pasta to go. An app. And a glass of rose. He helped me pick a nice wine and it's lovely.The bar back helped me right away. Normally when I visit I am with friends, this is my first silo trip.I really had a nice time food is great. Total Bill was about 100 dollars this place is pricing.Some of the photos are when I visited with a friend! Parking is street or the lot.

A group of 5 of us came for a birthday celebration, and it is the perfect place for that. Service and wine selection are excellent, food was delicious, ambiance was cozy and tucked away downtown. A bit pricey, but worth the cost for such a sumptuous experience. A restaurant for someone who knows fine dining and eats well.I loved the sparkling rose I had, and the champagne was lovely. We ordered a few things to share - octopus carpaccio, tagliatelle pasta with lamb, scallops, double pork chop, tomahawk steak and sides of whipped potatoes and grits. Everything was seasoned and cooked perfectly - my personal absolute favorites were the pasta, scallops and the pork chop. The pasta was so flavorful with the braised lamb, the scallop was melt-in-your-mouth and buttery, and the pork chop was charred and juicy and cooked to perfection. The octopus was so tender and tangy with the sauce, the tomahawk steak was huge and cut nicely for us to share - decadent and delicious. The potatoes and grits were both so creamy and buttery - but almost too similar. I think we will order the green veg next time. I'm pretty sure we had dessert, but I can't seem to remember it - perhaps too much champagne! And I think I only had a bite. This is a lovely place to have dinner - fairly quiet and romantic, it would make a very nice date night. The bathroom is even luxurious. There is a paid lot right behind it, which was inexpensive and convenient. We will most definitely return.
