Detroit Steakhouse Gem (1145 Griswold St) – Tender Tomahawk Ribeye & Surprise Birthday Tiramisu 🍴 If you’re craving a hearty, flavorful steak dinner in Detroit, this spot at 1145 Griswold St, Detroit, MI 48226, delivers—from fluffy pre-meal bread to a showstopping 32oz ribeye. Every course had its own charm, and the surprise birthday treat made the night even sweeter. Here’s the full breakdown of what we loved (and a tiny tweak on the bread!) 🥩 🥖 Pre-Meal Bread: Fluffy with a Salty Twist The bread itself was so soft and pillowy—perfect for sopping up sauces later. The only tiny note? The dark salt flakes on top were a little too salty for our taste. But even so, we couldn’t help but tear off a few more pieces before the apps arrived! 🍢 Appetizer: Octopus (10/10, Would Order Again!) This octopus dish was a total standout! Tender (no chewy texture here!), it came paired with creamy hummus and thin flatbread. The combo of the octopus’s subtle char, the smooth hummus, and the warm flatbread made every bite super layered and satisfying—light enough to whet your appetite, but flavorful enough to feel special. No grease, no heaviness—just delicious. 🥗 Salad: Wedge Salad (Surprisingly Awesome!) The Wedge Salad had a fun, unique presentation—they brought out a whole lettuce wedge, topped with crispy bacon and shredded cheese. We were skeptical at first (how good can a simple wedge be?), but it exceeded expectations! The dressing was tossed just right—enough to coat every bite, but not so much that it felt soggy. The bacon added a salty crunch, and the cheese balanced it out perfectly. A simple dish done really well. 🥩 Mains: Tomahawk Ribeye & Loaded Beef Fat Potatoes (For Meat Lovers!) Tomahawk Ribeye (32oz): The star of the show! This massive 32oz ribeye was cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and packed with beefy flavor. The portion is huge (great for sharing!), and every slice was melt-in-your-mouth good. If you’re a steak fan, this is a must-try. Loaded Beef Fat Potatoes: Creamy, cheesy, and rich—these potatoes were the ultimate steak side. The beef fat added a deep, savory kick, and the cheese was melted just right. It’s indulgent, but totally worth it. 🍰 Desserts: Peanut Chocolate Cake (Sweet!) & Birthday Tiramisu (The Winner!) Peanut Chocolate Cake (Chef’s Recommendation): It started off amazing—rich peanut and chocolate flavors that tasted like a decadent treat. But as we ate more, it got progressively sweeter, and by the end, it felt a little heavy. Tiramisu (Complimentary for My Birthday!): This was the surprise highlight! They brought it out for free to celebrate, and it was way better than the cake. Light, creamy, with just the right amount of coffee flavor—no cloying sweetness, just perfect. #Foodie #DetroitFood #DetroitSteakhouse #SteakLovers #BirthdayDining #FineDiningDetroit
