Came to Bar Pigale to celebrate our anniversary. We opted for the Tasting Menu - it was excellent. Each course was perfectly prepared and presented. The gnocchi dish and tuna tartar were particularly exceptional. We also opted for the wine pairing. The sommelier was very knowledgeable and curated the selections perfectly.

This is by far the best steakhouse in Detroit! I got the ribeye, it was very tender and had a great flavor. Atmosphere is what you would expect for an upscale steakhouse. Service was great. I will be returning.
