Vertical Detroit

Love this place. The food was excellent and the service could not have been better or more friendly.

Food and service were amazing! Cute spot to hang out at. Chad at the bar is fantastic!

I can’t remember my waiter but he was fantastic! I met Gordon (GM) who I told I had been there 3 times in the last handful of weeks and he showed us a lovely time. Eventually he introduced me to Jim Lutfy who let our party of 7 sample 4 desserts. Once again the pork chop and grits were amazing.

This is our second trip to Vertical for dinner, and the food has always been excellent. There are thoughtful dishes and a lot of variety on the menu, with great cocktails and a lengthy wine list. Our server was prompt, informed, and friendly. I have one singular negative to report. The chairs at the high tops near the front of the dining area were so uncomfortable! All four of us are somewhat tall (5 '7 , and the height of the table matched with the height of the chairs was nearly impossible to navigate. It 's difficult to explain, but no body position makes sense. Your legs are either firmly pressed against the bottom of the table or awkwardly dangling in purgatory above the floor. We were able to laugh it off and enjoy our meals, but this seems like a significant oversight for an otherwise exceptional eatery. We will undoubtedly return to Vertical but will request a low-top table.

Food was great! Didn’t care for the matcha drink and I’m a huge matcha lover. Our waiter was great but felt rushed by one the bus boys who would come to clear our plates. The tomahawk steak was very good so I would go back for that.
