A perfectly balanced paloma with fresh squeezed grapefruit went down a little too easy. You go to Iridescence for the beauty and the view, which even on a gloomy winter day took my breath away.īut it is still a restaurant, so the food and drink need to impress. The city has changed a lot since my last visit, but the view has always been one to behold, even when the city was not at its best, the train station dotted with shattered windows. This was the fourth time I have been to Iridescence.

Two: The view of the city of Detroit is about the only thing that could upstage the carefully thought out restaurant interior. The light fixtures are swoon worthy, and really there isn’t a bad seat in the house, the tables nicely spaced to set you up for the fine dining experience. The high ceilings set it apart from every other dining destination in the city. There are two things that are impossible to ignore the moment you walk into Iridescence, the restaurant at the top of Motor City Casino and Hotel.
