点评:We had a dinner at Freya in May 2024. Common verdict is "it was a nice experience, but we are not coming again".
The restaurant does not have its own parking. Adjacent parking lot belongs to another restaurant. It was a busy evening in that part of Detroit, I circled the area for a few minutes before finding a spot about 300 yards away on an opposite side of Grand Blvd.
We got a fixed menu of 5 courses for a price of about 100 dollars each. The menu had some interesting choices, it was not easy to decide what to pick. The food we got was generally very good, presentation was really artistic. Seasoning, freshness - all was great. But my major issue is that I was half hungry when I left and I am a relatively light eater with healthy habits. Polite and friendly waiters were more of curators, and we appreciated the effort to educate us, but sometimes it was just too hard to hear. And on a couple of occasions it took more time to tell us about the course than for us to eat it.
The final bill of about 270 dollars included two fixed menus, a glass of wine, a cocktail, gratuity and tax. This is "high end" for Detroit. And while I enjoyed the food and new unusual concepts and combinations, I did not think it was worth that much money.
It is good for customers who really appreciate the art of cooking and who can sacrifice portion size for gourmet experience.
翻译:我们于 2024 年 5 月在 Freya 吃了晚餐。普遍的评价是“这是一次不错的体验,但我们不会再来了”。
餐厅没有自己的停车场。相邻的停车场属于另一家餐厅。那是底特律那边的一个繁忙的夜晚,我绕了几分钟,才在 Grand Blvd 对面约 300 码外找到一个停车位。
我们得到了一份固定菜单,有 5 道菜,每道菜的价格约为 100 美元。菜单上有一些有趣的选择,很难决定选什么。我们得到的食物一般都很好,摆盘真的很有艺术感。调味、新鲜度——一切都很棒。但我的主要问题是我离开时半饿了,而且我是一个相对清淡的饮食习惯健康的人。礼貌友好的服务员更像是策展人,我们很感激他们努力教育我们,但有时他们实在是太难听了。有几次,他们花更多的时间告诉我们这道菜比我们吃它的时间还长。
最终账单约 270 美元,包括两份固定菜单、一杯葡萄酒、一杯鸡尾酒、小费和税。对于底特律来说,这是“高端”的。虽然我喜欢这里的食物和新奇的概念和组合,但我认为它不值这么多钱。
对于真正欣赏烹饪艺术并愿意牺牲份量来享受美食体验的顾客来说,这很不错。
