Best of Metromix Detroit 2013Date Restaurant
Oh, amore. Date night in the D is loaded with options. Of course sliders might be romantic for some but to truly impress your potential lover it's imperative to impress them with ambiance, service, and spectacular courses. Metromix has love for a ton of great date restaurants throughout the metro area, but we had to break up with many of our faves and narrow the short list down to five. Which restaurant do you heart most? If you think we left out a deserving nominee, let us hear about it!
And the winner is…
La Dolce Vita
17546 Woodward
Detroit, MI 48203Romance is in the air at this Italian eatery, which kept its 2011 and 2012 Best of Metromix titles, narrowly edging out Coach Insignia for its romance factor. It also happens to be one of the most fun hidden treasures in the city. Summertime dinner outside in the garden is inspiring on many romantic levels. And if you have a Saturday-night sleepover party, the Sunday brunch is something special, too.
Nominees
The Whitney
4421 Woodward
Detroit, MI 48201Neighborhood: Cultural District/Midtown/Wayne State
Oh, it's on when you bring your date to the Whitney. Hang in the garden, dine inside and don't forget dessert. Bingo!
Coach Insignia
100 Renaissance Ctr
Detroit, MI 48243Neighborhood: Riverfront
With its sweeping, 360-degree view of Detroit from the 72nd floor of the Renaissance Center, Coach Insignia is a destination for celebratory meals. This contemporary steakhouse features elegantly delicious cuisine and one of Michigan's largest wine lists to accompany the panoramic view of Detroit and Windsor.
Bacco Ristorante
29410 Northwestern Highway
Southfield, MI 48034Bacco chef-owner Luciano Del Signore has been turning out poetic Italian dishes in his Southfield restaurant's kitchen since 2002. Driven by high-end, often-imported ingredients and scratch cooking techniques, Bacco's prices put it in the special-occasion category, for most of us anyway.
Iridescence at Motorcity Casino
2901 Grand River
Detroit, MI 48201Neighborhood: St. Charles County
The fact that Iridescence won a Wine Spectator award in 2007 tells you that this isn't a scruffy burger bar. Iridescence offers one of the best views of the city while serving up fine fusion cuisine that ranges from sashimi to foie gras.
