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.
