This is one of the best places in Detroit! The inside is so cute, everything is recycled and this a story behind everything. They even play old movies in the back bar! Jimmy & Remy the owners were so nice! The food & wine was spectacular!! Oh and the crème brûlée 🍮 is fantastic!!

I am glad we came here out of all other places. Everything had unique flavors and was delicious. And put waiter Aisha was best and took really good care of us. Especially loved it, when she brought different shape wine glasses based on what I have ordered, to enjoy the flavor and aroma of the wine. Great experience. Thank you!

Vertical Detroit is a wonderful spot and the perfect place for anyone who loves a cozy, intimate dining experience. My sister, who’s a big fan of the restaurant, brought us here, and it quickly became a favorite of mine as well. The atmosphere feels like a classic, old-school Detroit steakhouse—quaint, warm, and inviting. The food did not disappoint. We enjoyed perfectly cooked steaks, a rich and flavorful mushroom risotto, and an excellent selection of wine to complement the meal. The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and professional, making the evening even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a small, charming spot with great food and a classic Detroit vibe, Vertical is a must-visit for any steak lover. It’s the kind of place where you can relax and truly enjoy the experience.

Amazing steakhouse in downtown Detroit. Great service, decor, and most importantly food! Had the ribeye steak. Cooked perfectly. Also tried the charcuterie, grilled octopus and focaccia. All spectacular. Great dining experience!

Everything was fantastic. Food was delicious… first time trying lamb in their Tagliatelle Pasta and it was delicious. The best mushroom risotto, salmon, and pork chops I have ever had!! The bottle of wine we got was so delightful. Highly recommend and will be back!

This little place looks like it's straight out of a movie. It's fine dining in a wine cellar. The place was cozy, but there was room for groups and couples. The food was amazing, and the portions were good. The decor was also amazing, I couldn't stop looking around. The waitstaff were very attentive and on point. Everything about this place was great.
