As perhaps the most anticipated opening of 2016, Grey Ghost lived up to its hype when it opened in late July. Headed by Chicago chefs John Vermiglio and Josef Giacomino, each dish and drink is carefully crafted, from deceptively simple plates of fried bologna sandwiches served on waffles, to a more ambitious steak tartare and fried quail. While the chefs may be from the Windy City, Grey Ghost is all Detroit. Located in the legendary and long-shuttered Ye Olde Butcher Shoppe space in Midtown, the name pays homage to a notorious rum-running pirate on the Detroit River. Fittingly, you’ll find an impressive cocktail selection at the hands of Will Lee, formerly of Selden Standard, Wright & Company, and Standby. With a powerhouse staff like this, it’s easy to see why Grey Ghost stole the spotlight in 2016.

“…Grey Ghost Detroit, which was opened by two well-known Chicago chefs (yes, chefs are leaving other cities to come to Detroit now!)”

Part of Detroit’s wave of new American restaurants, Grey Ghost offers a striking setting for a great meal. The renovations of the Watson Street restaurant space contrast exposed brick with polished dark wood tables and dark upholstered banquette seating. The bar area with its reclaimed bowling alley counters and black and white patterned tile was given equal importance by the designers with careful thought put to how bartenders would function in the space.

Easily one of the most anticipated openings this summer was Grey Ghost, which opened its doors in the historic Ye Olde Butcher Shoppe in July. Headed by chefs John Vermiglio and Joe Giacomino, the menu is packed with proteins like dry-aged rib-eyes, black forest pork chops, and racks of lamb. The venue pours a variety of signature cocktails served stirred, shaken, or from the tap. Go for the slightly spicy Not Your Libre, made with tequila, chipotle, cola, lime, and Angostura bitters.

Midtown Detroit will welcome a new and possibly delicious arrival this summer. Grey Ghost Detroit will open its flagship restaurant at 47 E. Watson. The 2,500 sq. ft, 80-seat restaurant will be located in part of a space that was most recently was home to the Ye Olde Butcher Shoppe on Woodward, but the door to the establishment will be on Watson Street as the building has been divided into three ground floor spaces.
