    AMAZING! I'm the type of person who's not easily pleased, but damn! The Charlevoix exceeded my expectations. I wandered in on a Thursday night with a couple of friends with a very curious taste buds for cocktails, po boys sandwich and wings. When I walked in I was immediately greeted with friendly smiles. We were lucky to arrive on time because the place was nearly packed. The ambiance was chill with good music, that goes along with their trendy paintings and decors. TRADITIONAL DRINKS: My first order was their bloody mary. It was served very quickly and neatly. They had a variety of hotsauces available with Louisiana Cajun to Mexico's finest. Bar tender made my bloody mary served with bacon and a meat stick. I ate the bacon immediately of course. FOOD: I followed with up their Salt & Pepper Shrimp. They were JUMBO shrimps served with mint, cilantro, jalapeno, peppercorn, and smoked mayo. Growing up Asian I was use to peeling the skin and pulling the heads of the deep fried shrimps. However, in this case, because the shrimps mixture with salt+pepper and mint, I left no scraps. Out of my years growing up Asian, I never really ate the whole shrimp because in most places their the skin and head is all elastic and difficult to chew. With The Charlevoix, the way the chef cooked it, the skin and head were crunchy and easy to chew! No surprise, I ordered the next shrimp item on the menu. Their Shrimp Po'Boy was absolutely delicious, shrimps weren't the jumbo ones I had earlier, but it was perfect because every bite had at least 2-3 shrimp full. Absolutely delicious. Of course, you can't leave a bar without trying their chicken wings. As a big fan of Chicken Wings I ordered their Salt and Vinegar Chicken Wings. The salt was perfectly caramelized on the skin, and the excess salt on the plate was perfect for that extra rub after my first bite. I warn you if you're a fan of wings, this is the next addicting thing to Lemon Pepper Wings. COCKTAILS/SHOTS: Lemon drop shots were delicious and refreshing. The lemonade were made fresh, similar to how my mom use to make on a Sunday summer afternoon. Interesting. Lastly, I thought I would try their "Nip and Tuck" Drink because our waitress Kat recommended it. She wasn't wrong about it. It's hard to describe the taste but it was this delicious, wintery, nutty flavor, with coffee. Great mix overall. ENVIRONMENT: Staff and bartenders were impressionable and friendly. I even requested to talk to the chef, Brandon, to compliment him on the Salt and Pepper Shrimp. Overall great place have a few drinks and dine. Brings the taste of Louisiana Po'Boys locally. Chef Brandon mentioned that they actually get their bread shipped directly from Louisiana. 5/5 stars!

    Great hidden gem! Popped in one night for dinner after reading about this place on a social media community group page. The reviews and recommendations were not wrong. Atmosphere: This place is a VIBE at night. The decor is clean and modern contemporary with good music filling the room. Good drinks flow from the bar. Even better food flows from the kitchen. I enjoyed listening to the other tables rave about the look and taste of their meals. Other patrons from different tables would get up to inquire about food they saw. My only knock against this location is the amount of noise. The music is loud so patrons talk louder. The noise lessened a smidgen after the windows were opened and the lights were dimmed. Food: I enjoyed the Brussel sprout caesar salad, Thai style wings, and Bacon kimchi fried rice. Kept it classic with a Lemon drop from the bar. Loved everything! I would explain in detail what my pallet experienced, but you should go see for yourself. You will not be disappointed. Matter of fact I'll meet you there!

    Nice place with great food and good drinks. Nashville Hot Catfish Nuggets are definitely hot! If you love spicy food, that’s it. The smashed potatoes were my favorite.

    I LOVE the carrot tostada! The feta potatoes are good, but lacking depth of flavor. The wings are delicious too. I had to give a lower rating because when dining in they brought my husband the wrong order and took it away when mentioned. I asked what they did with it and I was told it went to a take out order. I don't think I can ever eat here after that.

    All the cocktails are top notch. Definitely try the Hot Hot Heat, however. The entire food menu is pretty great, however if you have a chance to catch the Chicken Cordon Bleu Sandwich... You might fall in love.

    When I think of the perfect bar, I think of a modern industrial space with friendly people, good music, great cocktails, and a variety of tasty food options. The Charlevoix checks all of these boxes. One of our new favorite spots.

    My first time here today & I love it! Fresh, fresh food....the tacos are so amazing (I had the carnitas) that I ordered another one! Big kudos to the bomb salsa. The collards & coconut salad was so refreshing with peas, almond slivers and the right amount of shredded coconut in a tasty, light dressing. The gated outdoor seating was spacious with tables that seat 4 with plenty of room apart and umbrellas for shade. The Malibu cocktail was great, then I tried a feature cocktail - Indian Summer with tequila ( I subbed vodka) st Germain, aperol, lemon, grapefruit, simple. Wow, pure bliss! Nice ambience with music playing, chill vibe with shiny, happy people! A great place to meet a friend, go solo & people watch (like me), a first date, any occasion. Friendly staff working together to make things flow seamlessly & kept the drinks coming and my waitress was fun. Oh, my 2nd taco got made twice because I told another server & my server I wanted a second...they gave me the extra to take home free! Thank you, I will be back!

    This place was busy... So expect a wait especially if you have more than 4 people. The service was great, and the staff was great about their mask policies. Bathroom was clean (always a plus). Lastly the food was great... I got the Le Cordon Bleu sandwich and it was fantastic. I will say the modern look they are going for isn't my favorite, and their chairs are definitely not the comfiest (I'm sure that's on purpose to not have people there too long), but I still definitely recommend coming here for a bite to eat and a drink.

    This is one of my favorite spots to eat. Every menu item is unique and bursts with flavor and is always consistent time after time. Their cocktails are fantstic too. If you're far away it's definitely worth a drive

  • 5/5 Stephanie P. 4 years ago on Google

    Wonderful bar with fantastic, unique food. Excellent service and lovely staff. If you like spicy food they always have some great options! Parking is easy too, between their own lot and plenty of street parking.

  • 3/5 Matt D. 4 years ago on Google
    Decent beer selection and some small plates. A little over priced though

  • 5/5 Emily M. 1 year ago on Google
    I love coming here! It is honestly one of my favorite spots in GP. Their paloma and frozen drinks are amazing. I've had their po boys and shrimp quesadilla here as well and both are delicious! The staff is always super friendly and the vibes are just great.

  • 5/5 Schuyler C. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is on point every single time. Whether it’s the rotating specials or the standby classics, I’m impressed every visit. Service is always great and they are consistently working magic behind the bar as well. Can’t recommend this place enough. Come in for a comforting solo feast or a boozy shared meal w good friends, and you will be so glad you did!

  • 5/5 Kevin The M. 1 year ago on Google
    The people and the food! This place is it! Friendly and warm atmosphere. When you walk in, it just feels like you belong there. The cocktails are great but the food… the food! Talk about opening your taste buds for a good time! This is a place you don’t want to pass on dessert!

  • 5/5 Rod A. 1 year ago on Google
    This place has great food and craft cocktails. Start with the carrot tostada and the rest of your night will be excellent.

  • 4/5 Dharanidharan S. 5 years ago on Google
    A must visit place in Grosse Pointe. Liked the ambience, the food and drinks. The chicken pulled taco is very juicy however I would have liked it to be little more salty and sour. The salt and vinegar wings is a must try. We sat at the bar and we loved the opportunity to talk to the owners. Overall a great experience. Will definitely come back.

  • 2/5 Braz E. 11 months ago on Google
    I don't understand how this place has more than 3 stars. The food is horrible. I ordered the fish sandwich smached potatoes. It looked like someone stepped on the sanwhich before serving it. It had zero flavor and this place doesn't serve French fries, except for it you order a burger. They have fries but they won't serve it unless you order the burger. Very strange. Won't be eating here again.

  • 5/5 Bradley B. 7 months ago on Google
    Very good food and cocktails. Honestly the best fish taco I ever had 😮. Had to order another. Had a 2nd order of the peach dessert too. Kinda pricey but worth it when you want to have good food and drinks.

  • 5/5 David N. 7 months ago on Google
    The atmosphere, service and drinks was all 10/10! We had the smashed potatoes, carne asada tostada, chicken sandwich and the fried rice and it was all packed with flavor. We will be back!

  • 3/5 Lincoln M. 5 months ago on Google
    Was ok. Atmosphere was best thing about it. Chicken and waffles were pretty good, VERY small portions...half of a waffle and 2 chicken thighs. It was tough getting coffee and got our order wrong with no apologies, blamed us. The bathroom was DISGUSTING! And it wasn't fresh filth. Not sure the last time it was cleaned. Felt dirtier leaving then when I went in. Couldn't even wash my hands it was so gross...had to use hand sanitizer in the car!

  • 4/5 Dedrie M. 6 months ago on Google
    Food was good; cauliflower salad and wedge salad were great! Carrot tostados were very different but surprisingly yummy lol. Had fish tacos, chicken sandwich, assorted wings etc. Service was very good as well.

  • 5/5 Kyle K. 4 months ago on Google
    One of my favorite places in Detroit. I live close, so I’m here all the time. Food is amazing. Drinks and staff rock.

  • 5/5 Debbie R. 3 years ago on Google
    We sat outside so I don't know what the interior is like. Food & service was great .

  • 1/5 J T. 3 years ago on Google
    My first visit. Service was regrettably slow regardless of "Covid-19 excuse," and waiter was aloof. Too bad--had heard good things.

  • 5/5 Brad B. 4 years ago on Google
    The Charlevoix is a very cool place, with small bite size portions of food that is done amazingly well.

  • 3/5 Joe S. 4 years ago on Google
    Just about the loudest place you'll visit in town. Good food and drinks. Service at the bar is good. Can be a little hit or miss at the tables.

  • 5/5 Nikki L. 4 years ago on Google
    The cocktails were amazing!!! The music selection was spot on. A great place for happy hour or late night drinks. I will definitely go back here soon!!!

    Excellent service good food good cocktails

  • 5/5 Mamasaur 4 years ago on Google
    I have only been there for the drinks so I can't speak to the food but the drinks are very creative. I only drink the spicy ones and they have a real kick. You either like them or hate them. Many different drink choices available.

  • 5/5 Tiffany G. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Linda C. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good brunch - a nice variety of selections prepared with attention to detail. Very good Bloody Mary and other cocktails. Nice atmosphere too.

  • 5/5 Aidia G. 4 years ago on Google
    Great service and the bartender even made up some really tasty mocktails for me since I’m not currently drinking alcohol. Great option for later in the evening.

    Always good food, drinks, and service. One of my favorite places.

  • 3/5 Ryan K. 4 years ago on Google
    Great mini chicken sandwich. Also, decent cocktails. However, adding a jalapeno to a margarita should not cost $4. Needless to say, I'll be bringing my own jalapenos from now on.

  • 5/5 Ryan F. 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome owners and the chicken sandwich is amazing!!

    Frosé All Day!

  • 5/5 Melissa A. 3 years ago on Google
    Wow! You know a place is good if you start planning your return one sip into your first drink. I had the Nip Tuck which is cold coffee, rum, egg white and a bunch of other tasty things. Then I saw the wine list. Excellent! I really loved the Blanc Bordeaux and most come back for that. I had a couple of the tacos, they would good but looking forward to trying everything eventually.

👍 Good Indian restaurant but very pricey. The quality of food is good and the service was decent too. Not sure if I’ll be going here again but definitely will if they drop their prices. There’s a parking lot adjacent to the restaurant which is convenient. Bon appetite!
