Girls Gone Hungry

A Night at Iridescence

DISCLAIMER: I was going to try and condense this post BUT we ate so many amazing things I didn’t want to leave anything out – so ENJOY all these eats! 

Last week we had a chance to dine again at the only AAA 4 Diamond Award-winning restaurant in Detroit,  Iridescence! This was our third opportunity to sample the menu and enjoy the gorgeous views from atop Detroit’s MotorCity Casino!

We started our meal with some amazing appetizers. Our favorite was the Alaskan King Crab Brioche. The lobster was topped with hollandaise, celery, and a lemon vinaigrette. The flavor was amazing – light and fresh! The other appetizers were equally delicious and we appreciated the vegetarian options available such as the crispy crunchy Frito Misto!

Alaskan King Crab on Brioche
Frito Misto: cauliflower, broccolini, mushrooms, petite squash, string beans, buttermilk scallion aioli, lemon
Lobster Bao: house-made bao bun, cold water lobster, fish sauce vinagrette, ginger quick pickles, herbs, scallions
Waygu Beef sliders
Hawaiian Bigeye Ahi Tuna: avocado, yuzu gelée, cucumber, fresh Japanese wasabi

Next up we enjoyed a mouthwatering Spring Squash and Honeydew Salad. This was such a bright and delicious dish! The perfect palate cleanser before our entrees arrived!

Did I mention drinks! Our server selected an amazing white for me that would complement my dishes. Always make sure to ask questions, all of the servers were so knowledgable about the menu. They can definitely help you select the perfect drink for your meal.

The entrees available are impressive and we had a hard time choosing! I opted for the Niman Ranch Prime Filet and my boyfriend chose the Niman Ranch Prime Ribeye. He added a gorgeous South African Lobster Tail to his order but you can also choose Alaskan King Crab Legs. We were so stuffed but we also tried the Whipped Potatoes and Belgian Frites. A+ potato options and if you follow us – you know we love potatoes.

Prime Filet – can you spot that lobster tail in the back 😎 Also newbie move – I forgot to order some of the Sauce Bordelaise 😣
This Rib Eye was huge! 24 ounce, 21-day dry-aged prime bone-in ribeye. It was SUPER flavorful as well.
We enjoyed this with much delicious butter!

And last but certainly not least we asked our served to recommend her favorite desserts! They were both beautiful, decadent, and the perfect ending to our meal!

Chocolate Monaco: chocolate mousse with a toffee crunch, rich chocolate glaze, 24k gold leaf, trio of sauces
Pineapple Upside Down Cake: a not-so-traditional pineapple upside down cake, crème fraiche ice cream, oven-roasted pineapple, vanilla sauce

After eating til we could eat no more we were so happy to have rented a room at the casino! Definitely a wonderful stay-cation in our favorite city!
