The food was good but the discrimination was not.
I was in the area by myself for an event and decided to pop into Olin for a bite to eat. I walked in and told the host “I’m a party of one”. She said you can’t eat in the dining room. You can see by the pictures it was not prime time, I was there on off hours and there were several tables available. I felt this was discrimination as a solo person trying to get some good grub.
Luckily I stayed and sat at the bar, because Christopher and the food made up for the rudeness I encountered.
The burger was delicious, thick patty with plenty of flavor. The fries, possibly sprinkled with parmasan cheese, or something great.

The food seasoning actually very good ,somehow I think we been order too much cause we are not really aware of the per portion of the small plate actually not really small or I am not having a good appetite. But we did ask our server….Moreover, I’ve reserved the table but I got a pretty crappy table maybe cause I am reserved table for 2 pax not sure about the arrangement. Suggest the large plate mussels we ordered maybe need another 30seconds to a minute more to make it perfect. In general I like this place but I wish everybody could work more professionally.

The food was okay. Nice flavor. Enjoyed the 1 artichoke on the chicken. Disappointed it doesn’t come with a vegetable. Simply tops arugula. My drink was iced down. My partner loved his…said it was strong & he liked the fish but felt portion was insufficient, as he felt the need to eat again once home. The restaurant design is nice & open. Friendly staff. However, dinner menu is very limited to about 7 items. 3 beef, 1 fish, 1 seafood, 1 vegetarian, & 1 chicken. I would maybe give them another go for lunch or if I see a menu change.

We were looking for someplace new to try before a show at the Fox and this place popped up in Yelp. We were able to get a reservation pretty easily on a busy Friday night downtown, but we were there early, which was good, because it filled up pretty quickly.
The seasonal menu was a bit different from what we saw online, but a lot of the same choices were still there. We decided to focus on sharing several of the small plates offerings: Caesar salad, homemade focaccia, whipped ricotta and crab cakes. The salad was pretty bland, plus we ordered it with shrimp, which they forgot, but later brought over (and deducted it from the bill, which was nice). The focaccia was excellent, as was the whipped ricotta. The crab cakes were fine – it seems like they are the same at most places.
Gabby was a great server and did an awesome job taking care of us and many other tables. I also enjoyed the overall vibe of the place – it has the cool, urban vibe that Detroit needs to have more of.

Great food and very lively atmosphere. Cocktails were on point. The crispy potato bravas were fantastic, the aioli was top notch!! The only odd thing is how the kitchen works. We came in hungry and had hoped to have a cocktail and appetizer while we looked at the menu. Unfortunately, they only let you order all your food at the same time. Our server tried to explain why but it did not really make sense. That said, the bread and app came quickly after ordering and the food came at an appropriate amount of time after that. I was not overly upset but our server must have mentioned to the manager and he bought a cocktail and dessert for us. Overall, a very nice dinner out

(7/10) Nice atmosphere, great service, but unexceptional food.
After visiting San Morello recently, I decided to try Olin situated next door. Based on the menu, Olin appears to be elevated Americana. Before I get into any critique, I want to stress what they are doing well: from the moment I walked in through the time I left the staff and service was excellent. They have chosen the right team. The atmosphere was also pleasant. The food, however, was mediocre. We tried only the dishes recommended by the staff: the Olin Burger, Branzino, and the Waffle Bread Pudding. The presentation on the food was mostly done with care — I say mostly because the dessert had burnt pieces on it. The food was NOT bad. It just wasn’t that good, lacking depth, relative to the cost and dining experience projected. I would not necessary sway people from going here, but for similar cost, a more elevated atmosphere, you may wish to try San Morello. I hope the menu and kitchen makes some pivot, because the staff was excellent and I want them to succeed.

The food was good. The Olin burger was good the short rib rigatoni was good. The crème brule was really good. The crab cakes were good. The atmosphere is ok, it’s a little pricey for what it is.

My husband and I had reservations and we still had to wait. We finally were seated and ordered, the staff was friendly. You could tell they were short on staff. We waited an hour before our food came out. I ordered the Olin burger with bacon and, it comes with fries. It’s also a smash burger. I don’t drink so I asked for a mocktail. I ordered the strawberry mocktail, I’m not a fan on mocktails, but I don’t drink. It’s either water or sprite and wanted to try something different.
The atmosphere was loud and busy. It’s a vibe, but my overall experience was a 9 out 10. The wait time was the only issue that I had. I must say the bacon was really good the best bacon that I have ever had. The burger was very delicious. So, yeah I will be back, but it will be a while.

I had the burger and it was fantastic! They were out of the Gnocchi unfortunately. Our waitress was great, I’m sorry I can’t remember her name. We made a reservation online.
There was a very loud large party right behind our booth, so I’d recommend asking to be seated away from any large parties.
The cocktails are not good here, I did not like the Almost Paradise cocktail, would stick with just water in the future, especially for the price. My friend had The Social and he said it was just ok, he wouldn’t order again.

My wife and I went here for lunch…we absolutely love the ambiance inside…such a vibe! Luckily it was not busy at all so we were seated right away…I would recommend putting in reservations though. The service was amazing…everyone was so friendly and nice and our waitress got our food and drinks out right away. The drinks were creative and poured to perfection! I highly recommend the bathtub drink which is not listed on the menu. The food was cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. Highly recommend this spot especially for a date night. We cannot wait to come back!
