Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Eastpointe

Just discovered this restaurant, and we loved it. Great atmosphere and delicious food. Dont be in a hurry when you dine here. Take it all in and enjoy. You're spending good money for sure. Enjoy.

We were seated at a high top for 2 people that overlooked the kitchen. My wife and I are average sized humans and we felt the table was a little cramped for shared plates, but this was the only negative thing to say about our evening. The service was outstanding with napkins, plates, and cutlery replaced with each course. The restaurant was filled with conversation and some fun music, about what you would expect with shared plates being the main theme. The drinks were great, the view from our table was superb. We had a look in on the open fire grill and the stone oven while also being able to watch the bartenders put on a show making cocktails. Food was top notch and came out spaced perfectly. We had the beef tartare, Carrots, octopus, and duck. This was an excellent date night, anniversary meal (if you’re ok with loud) or a great double date, I think 4 people here fits the menu size for their shared plates pretty well.

Food was excellent. Server was Robert - great.

Loved Lumen! I’ve been past this place and even participated in events in the space right adjacent to the restaurant, but had never been here. The architecture of the ceilings and windows with the reflections, etc makes you feel like you are on the water at night. The green curry mussels were bright and perfectly seasoned! I savored every bit of the curry sauce and asked our server if they sold it by the bottle!!! We also had the walleye, pork belly and a side of perfectly charred asparagus. Dominique was attentive and personable… Will def go back to try the lamb chops and other interesting things we saw on the menu!

Choose Watermark for our monthly Dinner Club. Overall we had a very nice experience. We ordered chips and salsa as a table app but the salsa is very odd- more like a pasta sauce. It’s very smooth and not much flavor. For our entrees, 3 had the Fish and Chips and the portions were very big. So were the entree salads. The side salads also were very fresh and of ample size. One complaint not addressed was the menu said the perch was sautéed but it was delivered fried. Still tasty but not as it should have been cooked.
