James Rigato took a chance on little old Hazel Park and built something incredible. The menu keeps moving, the ingredients stay interesting, and somehow I ate cold asparagus soup and loved it. This is the kind of meal that makes you surrender to the kitchen and see where it takes you.

Go early, grab a bar seat if you can, and commit to the multi-course experience with the beverage pairing. Keep a backup snack in mind—the portions can run small.

You want a creative tasting-menu night that feels like an actual culinary experience.

You need large portions, a predictable menu, or an easy last-minute table.
