Best Date Night Restaurants in Southfield

We came with my family and I was pleased at the menu choices. Everyone found something they liked which is not an easy task. The food was delicious. The wait staff was very helpful. We will definitely come back.

It was my first time going and the process of ordering food/drinks was not explained. We sat at the table for about 10 minutes before I had to flag someone down to inquire about the wait. I was eventually updated and things went smoothly afterwards. They should make a point to inquire about informing guests of ordering procedures prior to sitting down.

The food was great and our server maya was awesome, however we hated the tvs all over the restaurant. It really detracts from the ambiance and the atmosphere of the experience. It would be fine to have the tvs just at the bar but there is no need for them all over the restaurant, really detracts from it being a top notch dining experience. Highlights: red snapper entree, beef Wellington bites, tuna nachos, the cocktails

We had an absolutely great evening! The food was superb, and Gary did an awesome job. Everything we had to eat was well prepared and the pacing of the meal was just right. The ONLY thing I would recommend would be to dial the violin player down about 2 clicks in volume. His music was beautiful, but just was a bit too loud.

My college roommate form early 80's and I started reviewing restaurants in the Metro Detroit Area 4 years ago. We have hit 80% of all the top restaurants (over 120) and we both consider Café' Cortina in our top 2-3 restaurants. I am not sure that I would take children under 14 there, only because of the complexity of the menu/food, and it seems like most of the servers have strong accents that are not always easy to understand. With that said I love going there about every 4-5 weeks and trying something different each time. Last night I had lamb chops. They may have been the best I have ever had. I savored every bite. I have had lamb chops at many nice restaurants. There pasta's are all made in house and are always exciting to try a different one. Make sure you save room for desert, as their pastry chef makes some very unique and tasty treats. This is probably one of the least known restaurants in Metro Detroit, a hidden gem for sure.
