Selden Standard

We've been featuring our flatbread all winter, and in the closing cool weeks before patio season, we've brought back some guest favorite accompaniments from years past -- stracciatella cheese, roasted garlic, olives, and balsamic. It'll be available each week for the next few weeks, Monday through whatever day we run out.

A few seats remain for our next wine dinner on Tuesday, February 24th. We're pleased to welcome our friends at Vine Street Imports for a 5 course pairing event featuring 8 wines.

After Andy made pierogi for the guys on the NFL Thanksgiving pre-game show, we had a few folks ask if the dish would make an appearance on the menu. And it turns out the answer was, "yes" -- served with horseradish crema, apple butter, and fried shallot.

Almost 11 years? Time flies when you're having fun... Thanks to Melody and the News for the stroll down memory lane (and through some of our favorite places to hang out).

In hindsight, 2015 was a magical year for Detroit's dining scene Major players emerged that would attract the attention of national food media, and many of those names are still making moves a decade later in 2025.

Beef tartare with harissa, labneh, radish, and a sourdough nigella cracker. Best paired with a patio reservation and a glass of Champagne, we also recommend it with a spontaneous trip to our bar (oh, and still a glass of Champagne).

The first scientifically* proven cure for a case of the Mondays - flourless chocolate cake with tahini ice cream and a sesame brittle.

Congratulations to our team on earning a semi-finalist nod for Outstanding Restaurant for the second year in a row. We're most grateful to the James Beard Foundation for recognizing all their hard work and to our guests for all their support over these ten years. While it's always been true that the best reward in our world is a dining room full of happy people, we're truly delighted that our crew is included among such a stellar group of restaurants. Cheers!

Friends, we'll be closed on Wed Oct 30 and Thu Oct 31 to undertake some repairs (and to celebrate our upcoming 10 year anniversary with our team). We'll look forward to seeing you for dinner on Friday!

If you hadn't heard, we started taking outdoor reservations last week. They're listed on Resy as "Patio" because "Your Happy Place" didn't fit on the little button. But the sparkling rosé tastes just as great no matter what we call it.

A simple but delicious favorite from our opening menu is back: grilled alliums with romesco.

Sometimes we get a little masochistic in the prep kitchen and decide to shape a few hundred orechiette by hand and then pull a bunch of mozzarella curd for our house stracciatella. Served with a little anchovy and some rapini. On the menu now.
