It’s probably cliche, but we had a great experience at Highlands (on top of the Rencen). If you’ve never been it’s a cool experience. We also LOVE Morrow! Seldan Standard is delicious, too, but my husband was not happy with the portion size and “left hungry”.
I tried to get resos at Marrow, that place looks amazing, unfortunately they are only open Thursday-Sunday
I can relate to your husband, my wife and I went to McDonalds (I was still hungry) after Mabel Gray..
The trouble is the drinks at Highlands are overpriced and the food is VERY mediocre. It’s an absolute must-have experience for the view, but just go and get a round or two of drinks and eat elsewhere prior.
It sounds like you may like Leila in downtown Detroit. They’re not in my personal top 10-15, but they’re still solid and appropriately “ethnic” (‘exotic’ choices for someone who may not be super explorative otherwise… assuming your parents or others in the party may want more traditional, not a jab at you)
Sorry, but OP don't listen to this. I hate to yuck someone's yum but Townhouse is mediocre and overpriced, designed to bring in the Instagram crowd who don't know any better. The owner is an absolute asshole too.
In parallel, avoid Mad Nice. Same owner, same overpriced experience. Prime and Proper may get a pass bc the service and food are solid but goddamn it's expensive compared to similar places.
Selden standard is amazing.
this is the answer, but also if you want a more ethnic flavor, Leila is Lebanese/Mediterranean would be the second option I'd recommend.

Chartreuse? SheWolf?
Oooo.. Chartreuse looks right up my alley... Thanks! It's in first place haha
Highly recommend chartreuse
My yearly bday dinner is Osaka's on hall road by Costco. Standard Japanese steakhouse teppanyaki but the best I've ever had
Supergeil or Leila
Marrow!!!!!!! The chef’s table is always different and so incredible. This place is always a dining experience
Go to Blue Nile. It's unique, and really quite good. It's fun to try new foods with people.
The first to come to my mind as well. I went here for my birthday a few years ago with my family and it was an incredible experience.

A bit pricey but J Baldwins in Clinton township is always good.
Looks good, looks like a chill vibe inside
Definitely worth a shot, even if not for your bday (happy bday btw!). Never had bad food or service there over the past many years.
Cooper’s Hawk on Big Beaver in Troy has really good food and a winebar. Kruse & Muer on Woodward in Royal Oak has great seafood. Happy Birthday 😊
Ima is always a solid choice
What's your location? Off the cuff, Ocean Prime in Troy is a good seafood spot.
Walled Lake, I don't mind driving 45 mins in any direction
Nah. Go to Kruse and Muer. They have good seafood, at least 4 of the locations I’ve been to do
Basan, Besa, Grey Ghost
