One of the better restaurant experiences near downtown. The service and food were both amazing. The waiter delivered a welcoming drink, great suggestions. The caviar was amazing. The chef def knows what he’s doing. My only complaint was that I let the waiter know my steak was wayyy too fatty and he agreed and took about 70% of my steak to show the chef. He came back without the steak and did not discount anything on the bill. I would’ve taken it home and threw it in a pan myself. All in all still an amazing experience.
Absolutely incredible experience. Every dish surprised us with creative flavors and flawless execution. For the quality of food, it’s very fairly priced, and according to my sister, it is the best small plate restaurant she’s ever visited. Big thanks to the staff for such kind service. The cheesecake was phenomenal.
Spectacular food, wine and excellent service. Had been recommended by friends and am so glad we were able to grab an early dinner. This quality of food makes me so excited to come home to Detroit and enjoy the new places on the scene. Trout, shells, cheesecake and lemon semifreddo. All incredible. Thanks to Preston, Sydney and the team for a wonderful evening.
Made resos on OpenTable for taking my wife out on a date. We arrived a little early and our table was ready. I had requested to sit next to my wife in the reservation, and even though they were busy, the honored the request even though we took up a 4 top table. Wine selection is very robust with a huge variety. Whether by the bottle or by the glass, you will definitely be more than satisfied with the selection. We opted for the sourdough and short rib tartare for starters. Both were incredible. I could have ordered 3 more tartares and just had that. For our mains, my wife had the squash entree, and I chose the whole rainbow trout. My trout was expertly deboned, still had the skin, and the Romesco sause was incredible. (If you order the bread, I wonder if you can get a side of it!?! ????). Several staff members came by to check on us and chat, which was really nice. Our server made excellent recommendations as we usually don't drink wine. Ladder 4 is a must experience. We are so glad we made reservations, and had this experience.we will definitely be back! Thank you Ladder 4!
My wife and I dined here and thought the service was great. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and very helpful in explaining the whole experience. The food was hit or miss. It seemed a little too experimental for some of the dishes, but other dishes were fantastic. We agreed that the cheesecake with brandy sauce might have been the best cheesecake we've ever had. The price was ultimately a bit of a shock at the end for the meal we ate. If we had enjoyed every dish we got I think it may have been acceptable, but that wasn't the case. This place I'm sure will resonate with people, unfortunately we seemed to not be the audience.
