Sometimes the quality of the food and beverages are lacking in a theater due to the fact that they know they'll get patrons no matter what on show nights but I will say, while the service was a little slow on the night we went to see Aladdin, the food was phenomenal and our drinks perfect! Would definitely go again even if there wasn't a show!

Staff was FANTASTIC, and so was the dinner. Had a wonderful night! Arrived at the opera theater about 1 1/2 hours before the performance began, found affordable parking in the lot right next door, and enjoyed great service, food and entertainment. Plan ahead, make sure that you make a reservation at least a week before the performance to ensure a wonderful time. Plan to do this again next time I visit the opera theater.

Great food and location, especially if your going to a show at the Opera house. Tax is included in the bill. The atmosphere is very upscale and luxurious. It is a smaller cafe so be sure to make a reservation unless you are going very early. The food was very good quality. As an upscale restaurant, don't be surprised that it is also very expensive. The seating is very comfortable and most seats in the theater have a great view. Enjoy the show !

My party of 3 didn't have reservations but they were still able to get us a table at their second seating with enough time to get to our seats. Prices seem a little steep and the servings aren't huge but they pay their staff living wages so they don't charge tip. Food was pretty good, though I would've liked the option of a side/small salad as well as two sizes for soup. Overall good experience and I'd certainly go back.

Inside the Detroit Opera house, it is perfect if attending a performance. Get a reservation as it is booked. the food is perfect for lighter meals and nibbles. Don't expect a steak dinner...it would just take too much time and not on the menu. Nice staff! I highly recommended this place. Must try.

Our waitress Jazlyn was spot on with her suggestions. Baked potato soup was wonderful. I don’t eat meat so I enjoyed the roasted vegetable fettuccine. She suggested the gooey butter cake for dessert and it was a delight. Will definitely return again. Only disappointment was no iced tea.

My friend and I dined there before seeing An American in Paris. We had a great time. It was very busy, but our server, Burk, took excellent care of us. She was friendly, professional and attentive. I really love the atmosphere. The staff seems to work together so well, and it is just very pleasant to eat there.

I had a better experience than what many reviews seem to have had! My 8 yo daughter and I made reservations before a Friday night show at the theater. We split filet medallions and our waitress brought it plated separately which was great and I hadn’t even asked! Filet was delicious, dessert was just ok but I’m not a huge dessert person. My daughter loved it and the waitress made her a special hot cocoa. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The waitress did mention that their menu changes basically every time a show changes so you can’t really see an accurate menu online though the variety seems similar. It’s a limited menu but the ease of eating and then walking into the show can’t be beat!

Great food and drinks and great service. It's important to know that seating at the table is limited and that the menu is designed to be quick so that the those who are there to see a show will make it on time. Jacob, our server, was quick and curteous and Ben, who made my after dinner drink, was good too. Would come here to eat even if I wasn't seeing a show.

Excellent food and service. This a very nice and convenient place to eat before a show at the Opera House. If you are going before a performance, you should make reservations, as it isn't a large restaurant. They vary the menu and have special items based on the show that is being performed.

My wife and I went there for dinner before going to see Wicked last night. Melissa our waitress was by far one of the best waitresses that we have had in a long time. Very friendly and attentive. Hats off to the chief also. The food was excellent. I would recommend this to anyone. If you are planning a trip to the Detroit Opera House make your first stop at the Cadillac Cafe. You walk right from the Cafe into the lobby of the Opera House without having to go outside again. Especially good if the weather is bad.
