My fave spot and my son’s fave spot! He wanted to go for his bday dinner and this place never disappoints. Food and the show the chefs put on is like none other! My son was amazed by the treatment he got for his bday bu the wonderful staff and that is why we are always excited to dine here and will continue to dine here! Thank you to everyone there for making my son’s day extra special!

Waiter was fantastic. The food was fantastic, the environment was very welcoming and warm and cozy.

We had an absolutely great evening! The food was superb, and Gary did an awesome job. Everything we had to eat was well prepared and the pacing of the meal was just right. The ONLY thing I would recommend would be to dial the violin player down about 2 clicks in volume. His music was beautiful, but just was a bit too loud.

We took my Mother for a Galentine’s lunch. It was absolutely perfect. Our courses were very well timed and our Server, Brianna, was attentive, knowledgeable and kind. Fabulous day. Thank you.

My college roommate form early 80's and I started reviewing restaurants in the Metro Detroit Area 4 years ago. We have hit 80% of all the top restaurants (over 120) and we both consider Café' Cortina in our top 2-3 restaurants. I am not sure that I would take children under 14 there, only because of the complexity of the menu/food, and it seems like most of the servers have strong accents that are not always easy to understand. With that said I love going there about every 4-5 weeks and trying something different each time. Last night I had lamb chops. They may have been the best I have ever had. I savored every bite. I have had lamb chops at many nice restaurants. There pasta's are all made in house and are always exciting to try a different one. Make sure you save room for desert, as their pastry chef makes some very unique and tasty treats. This is probably one of the least known restaurants in Metro Detroit, a hidden gem for sure.
