    Wright and Company is the kind of restaurant you go to treat yourself to elevated dishes in a beautiful setting with superb service. Dishes are meant to be shared and you'll be glad to have the opportunity to try more than a few! My group of three had a difficult time deciding and ended up ordering seven, which was plenty to fill us up (but left us unable to fit in dessert). Each and every plate was skillfully executed and artistically presented without being over-the-top. While we had our favorites, of course, my party decided that there wasn't a single dish that wasn't absolutely delicious! Our server, Alex, was friendly, helpful and made excellent recommendations upon request. Our dinner was timed perfectly and we never wanted for anything. The restaurant is on the second floor of a historical building which is very pretty. The huge windows look over the city and let in ample light during the day. The tables and booths are arranged in a way that allows for plenty of space and comfort. I'm so glad that Wright and Company now takes reservations, as I am sure it is a dining experience I will want to experience over and over again!

    First of all we had an incredible experience with staff. Everyone was friendly and put in effort to make our experience special. The space was clean, lovely ambiance, love the giant boat painting behind the bar. Not sure All the decor goes together but it’s unique. 😆 Fun drinks. The menu includes vegetarian options that are very good. *Know when eating here you’ll want to be in the mindset of sharing each plate with who ever you are with.* We had a large party and ordered a LOAD of items from the menu. Everything was pretty good. Keep an open mind about flavors. The menu is creative when it comes to ingredients. Some of the plating was a little off. LOVED the tuna, heirloom tomatoes, and half chicken. The Halibut was a little salty for my taste but still very yummy. Everything was delicious regardless. See pictures. Over all - great experience. We made great memories today. Thank you.

    I got dinner last night with a couple guests. I got the never been kissed mocktail, and my guest got whiskey, both of which were enjoyable. I can’t sugarcoat this, the food was just odd. We were given complimentary house made potato chips, which shockingly ended up being the only thing that was to any of our liking. My guest ordered the starchef’s mango discovery week and I ordered the creekstone farms bistro tender. These were just very random. My friend felt very sick directly after having his mango and octopus dish, for the remainder of the night as well. My steak was very chewy and was served with blueberries, which was definitely a choice. I’m not sure what it was, maybe the sauce, but for some reason it tasted like black licorice, which was odd. My other guest just got butterscotch pudding and said apparently, it was very unenjoyable as well. The service was decent, Lucy was suggestive and bubbly. The atmosphere is pretty nice, the red booths and marble tables give a modern feel. I honestly don’t plan to return, maybe the plates were just out of our taste palettes but it wasn’t the best food. Everything else aside from the entrees and dessert was nice! I’d consider coming back for another drink perhaps.

    One of my favorites. It's located on the 2nd floor and immediately when you walk in you are great with panoramic views and a nice chandelier in the dining room. The food is always on point especially the potato pave & the house-made potato chips loaded with cheddar cheese and bacon. Of course the drinks are really good.

    This food is the best I've had in over a year. I wasn't expecting it. We arrived at 955pm the kitchen was closing. They said if you order quickly they can make it. We had an appetizer and I got the chicken and duck with sweet potatoes. My Granddaughter got the beef. The flavor of every individual food, veggies and potatoes and sauces were excellent! Then the owner brought us free desert because he said he felt bad for rushing us. Again very good. We never felt rushed. The staff were all very friendly. I would definitely go back. If you go it may be a little hard to find. There is no large signage. Just go by the address, you need to park somewhere and walk over there. It's on Woodward.

    Was greet right away by hostess. 630 and we were seated immediately. Rachel took the time to walk us through the menu and drinks. Food comes out as soon as it’s done and the plates were perfect for sharing. The Walu was fantastic as was the potato pavé. Nice selection of creative mocktails. Service was wonderful.

    Looking for a industrial chic place to eat with incredible food or just looking for a few cocktails? You found it! Located right above the hustle & bustle of newly renovated Woodward. This awesome space serves delicious small plates leaving you wanting to sample the entire menu. Budget conscious? X-nay the booze. The food is good enough to give you a buzz.

    We went to Wright & Company to celebrate our 22nd wedding anniversary and was impressed with the decor and the atmosphere of the building. Located on the 2nd floor of 1500 Woodward, we found the entrance on John R and Woodward. The entrance is tucked away on John R just north of Parker’s Alley and opens to a small entranceway with the restaurant host and an elevator. The almost hidden entrance added to the allure of an enticing menu. The 2nd floor opens to a long marble bar, Edison light bulbs, and an expansive oil painting. The bicycle chain fans and the metal ceiling with leather couches created a great vibe for dinner and provided a great view of downtown Detroit. Wright & Company offers 6 different versions of an Executive Old Fashioned and has an excellent mixology menu. I went with the Russell’s Reserve Old Fashioned and Dawn got the Violet Crush. The Violet Crush was very impressive with drops of Blueberry tea painted into leaves on the egg white foam. The GOOD For starters, we selected the Fresh Potato Chips, Roasted Pineapple Salad the Grilled Mushroom Ceviche. The appetizers were fantastic! You’d think fresh potato chips wouldn’t be anything special but they were plated in a perfectly stacked mound with fine crumbles of bacon, scallions, and tomato relish. The cheddar cheese sauce was perfect and not too overpowering. The pineapple salad was fresh and vibrant with the cojita cheese blending in with the vinaigrette and sweet roasted pineapple. The grilled mushroom ceviche was also a great addition to the meal. The starter and salads were definitely the best part of the meal. For dessert, we went with the highly recommended butterscotch pudding and the dark chocolate tart. I could have sworn Dawn guarded the pudding with her spoon - it was so good! The NOT SO GOOD For dinner, we opted for the New York steak and Wild striped bass. Both dishes looked promising however, I was unfortunately disappointed. The lyonnaise potatoes arrived lukewarm and nearly cold. The steak also arrived lukewarm. I asked for the potatoes to be reheated which they brought back quickly. I’m assuming both the steak and potatoes sat on the window before expediting to the table. The wild striped sea bass arrived and was properly cooked however, it had a pronounced fishy taste which was the second disappointment. We muddled through it but were disappointed as sea bass is usually an excellent dish. The wait staff was very friendly and addressed the potato concern quickly. Given the COVID situation, I empathize with restaurants trying to staff and service tables while meeting health guidelines. The drinks, appetizers, and dessert were excellent. The actual main course just had too many misses and I’m just a regular guy taking his wife out to the rare high-end dinner. Overall, I’d be willing to give Wright & Company another attempt, but I’d want to speak with the manager first regarding our anniversary dinner experience.

    GREAT RESTAURANT!!! Will definitely be adding to my go to's for sure. The atmosphere was laid back but smooth, the interior matches that exactly. The Food was the star of the show and rightly so, I enjoyed every dish my wife ordered including dessert. Now the last but not least part is the service which was outstanding, everyone was so polite and inviting. Even though my wife and I got there relatively late. Everyone treated the guest like we were right on time and their energy matched as well. I greatly appreciated my experience here and now I'll just hope that they can repeat this for us and others. Keep up the great work, I definitely would recommend that anyone give these guys a try.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Really late post, but got out to visit Wright and Co the first week they opened back up at 25%. Small group, we got the great corner table over Woodward. Food and drinks were delicious. Our waiter was attentive and everything was spaced out. Will be back!

    Arguably the best dining experience my wife and have had yet. Everything was exquisite. Cocktails were on point and all we tried were delicious. We started with the Potato Chips which were very tasty and a slick twist on nachos. I had the Halibut for dinner and it was the best I've ever had. The dinner service is timed so you have the opportunity to share with your guest. My wife got the duck as her entree and that came out first so we could enjoy that before the halibut was served. It was a very fun way to have our dinner. Our waitress added to the mood and couldn't have been sweeter or more attentive. She took time to talk to us and interact with us with any questions or thoughts. Can't wait to go back and I couldn't recommend this place highly enough.

    Wright & Co does not disappoint! From craft cocktails to flavorful, fresh dishes, this restaurant is a gem! We recently popped in for apps and drinks on a whim. It was a Friday night around 7pm, we didn’t have a reso and lucked out getting seated at the bar. The bartenders were fun and conversational. The pork belly sliders are a MUST, the duck wings were crisp to perfection, and the whipped ricotta with truffle honey was so tasty. The view overlooking Woodward, snazzy ceiling fans, and overall vintage feel makes for a really chill ambiance. Perfect spot for a nice date night, or to kick off the evening before heading to the next bar.

    Hidden on the 2nd floor of the building. Cool and hip interior design with high ceilings. The food come in small plates and are meant to be shared amongst everyone. Our server (forgot her name) was great- very friendly and attentive. I would return just for the drinks! I got the Kohaku River (?) which was refreshing. The Neve Been Kissed (non alcohol) was delicious. Loved the Pork Belly Sliders, House Made Chips, and Hen of the Woods Mushrooms. The scallops and potato pave were too salty for my taste. For dessert, we ordered the Coconut Espuma, which would've been good but by then I was too full to enjoy it.

  • 5/5 Asvini K. 1 year ago on Google
    The servers were great, we did a walk in on a Saturday night and they were able to squeeze us in before a reservation arrived without making us feel rushed. We tried four cocktails and each was a hit. The decor, bar, and dining area are beautiful with high metal ceilings. We ordered three small plates - the sweet and nutty burrata, egg yolk carbonara, and crispy sesame broccolini. Each plate was original and a delight to try, probably best shared between two people. This was a fun tasting experience and I would come back.

    An absolutely wonderful dining experience. Located in a gorgeous historic building right in the heart of Detroit’s revitalized downtown, this spot is a must-visit. The service was phenomenal and the atmosphere was great. The food was unbelievably creative but most importantly it was straight up delicious.

  • 3/5 Grace Su M. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was "sharable plates" but the portions were so tiny that you could barely share and so expensive. For how expensive I wish the food was a little better, food was good overall not amazing out of this world. The brussel sprouts were my favorite. The drinks were very yummy. This place is okay.

  • 5/5 Aingeal J. 1 year ago on Google
    Its a small plates restaurant but the portions were really a good size. Had a wonderful date here with my husband, the cocktails were fantastic. Highly recommend the prawn dish, and the broccolini was amazing, don't sleep on it!

    A bit pricey with a limited food menu, but we had good drinks and an excellent Alaskan Halibut entree with Summer Corns. Delicious food and good service. Cool space with good ambiance. Can be tricky to find ... enter the door to their office building and press the Wright & Co button on the elevator to get to the 2nd floor venue. Loved the belt-driven ceiling fans.

    Lovely restaurant ..... lovely atmosphere. There were twelve of us celebrating a 60th birthday !! We had a pre-set five course menu which was amazing !! .... Our server was very knowledgeable and fabulous. My only criticism was on a few dishes ..... a little heavy handed with the salt level. As an ex chef, I definitely had to praise the kitchen as we left. Highly recommended and will definitely be back !!

    Great restaurant with great customer service. We had later reservations and the restaurant was able to seat us early upon request. Rosie was our server and provided fantastic recommendations to unique dishes that spotlighted Wright & Company. Due to a rotating menus recs I provide may change. Some dishes I would suggest trying are - the octopus - potato pavé - heirloom tomato (as a salad) The decor had elements of Restoration Hardware mixed with the rustic industrial feel of a bygone Detroit. 5 stars. Would dine again!

  • 4/5 Risa K. 2 years ago on Google
    We loved the mushroom pâté which was unique and delicious. The carbonara udon was not what we had expected but it was still good. The steak and butterscotch pudding were good too.

  • 5/5 Cynthia S. 2 years ago on Google
    Do not miss this amazing delicious experience!!! Great atmosphere, incredible service, and delectable bites. We came after a concert for a quick bite, and ended up ordering a little of everything. Hands down one of the best meals we had while in Detroit. Be sure to try an old fashioned and the Brussels sprouts!

  • 5/5 Kristy D. 2 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite Detroit spots. It's very New York here. Character for Dayzzz. The corner table has 2nd floor turret style views of Woodward you won't find anywhere else! Order the old fashioned. You won't be disappointed.

  • 5/5 TJ H. 2 years ago on Google
    The buttercake is very unique and tasted great. They make it look like a stick of butter even, worth getting just to experience it. The steak was a major let down, cooked great but the dry rub, fermented blueberries, and semolina flour/grits were not good pairings. Good attempt at putting a spin on a dish, just didn't work out in my opinion. The duck however was cooked perfectly and the butterscotch worked great with the fattinessof the duck. Finally the ricotta black truffle was really good with the squash, didn't think that would work, but really enjoyed it.

  • 4/5 Ely Sagansay J. 2 years ago on Google
    Interesting dining experience. We got the brussel sprouts, house potato chips, braised duck, heritage pork belly, potatoes with roasted ants, green circle chicken, and udon carbonara. The flavors were good as well as the drinks, and the ingredients they used made it interesting. Also our server was excellent. Portions are small for a family-style dining and the prices they charge, but overall would recommend at least trying this place once.

  • 5/5 Annora J. 2 years ago on Google
    The drinks here are fantastic! I had a cocktail, Queen of Tokyo along with my meal. Super amazing. Most of their items are served family style, got the opportunity to taste octopus and ants in one sitting. Their wine selection is also amazing, lots of variety. Plus, they are open lager than many places in the area, which is a huge plus.

  • 5/5 Tim P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great experience, food, drinks and service! Will definitely be coming back!

  • 5/5 Stephanie S. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been here many of times. I'm always happy with the atmosphere, food and beverages! I enjoy the very unique aesthetica and would definitely would recommend especially for a date night out in Detroit.

  • 4/5 Natalie G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for apps! Got the calamari and lamb skewers and it was so good! They also have some great cocktails. I like how it’s a little hidden away with being an upstairs restaurant. Cute decor.
