I came to this restaurant about a week ago on a Thursday evening with a friend. It was recommended to me so I expected a pretty good meal. I was served RAW chicken in the Kung Pao Chicken. Like not undercooked chicken that can kill a person or make them very sick but actually raw chunks of chicken. I was shocked really. They took my plate back and offered soup or something else. I declined until they kept asking and I decided to obviously not get a chicken dish and try the ribs. I was seated facing the kitchen and saw them put something in a bowl and toss it around and put it under the warmer. Yep it was the ribs. There was hardly any meat on them, the flavor would have been ok but they tasted like 2-3 day old ribs that they tossed in some sauce and warmed up. There is no way the ribs were cooked the same day. I was shocked again. Never would have expected this for sure. So I had fingerling potatoes for dinner and called it a night. They didn’t charge us for our meal but I would have kind of expected that since they almost killed me.
Also shortly after my food went back to the kitchen I saw who appeared to be the head chef and a line cook laughing and carrying on about something. Maybe you shouldn’t have the kitchen open to the customers if you are going to be so happy and goofing around after serving raw chicken!!!
Do NOT recommend this place. Super disappointed

I as at Cafe ML last night just like many times before. Ordered a couple appetizers. I will say even though the items I ordered were not the best, I will go back to restaurant. The service and ambience provide a nice space to wind down after a long day. Now on to the appetizers: the Shortrib Steamed Buns photograph well but sadly miss the mark. The meat in the buns was shaved thin and a bit tough to chew. A nice portion of braised shortrib is the way to go to elevate this bun, providing a tender succulent chew the bun was clearly missing. There was good acid on the bun but the shortrib was a letdown. Then on to the Korean Fried Chicken appetizer: again I was a bit disappointed as the chicken (fingers) seemed to be pre-breaded, and had a bit too much breading. Breading (to order) a nice piece of brined tender chicken (dark meat {thigh} to perhaps elevate the dish even further) is the way to go with this dish. The cucumber salad the chicken was paired with was nice and refreshing, cut uniquely and well, but could use a bit more seasoning (salt). In the end, an enjoyable visit, with notes.

Stumbled upon ML Cafe by accident, looking for food after my son’s away basketball game, far from home. Upon walking in, the restaurant is nicely lit, beautiful esthetic and friendly host. We sat down and the waitress promptly took our drink order. My daughter ordered a coke which did not taste like coke, then a sprite that tasted like sparkling water. My son ordered a soup which he liked. Our entrees consisted of a kids pasta, spaghetti and meatball and a random chicken dinner. The sauce for the kids food tasted so sour, they needed lots of Parmesan cheese to mask the strange sauce taste, the meatball tasted like rubber, no flavor whatsoever, very disappointing given the price of these meals and how basic they are. My chicken dinner was good, Asian glaze sauce, too much sauce in my opinion but edible. Each pop drink was $4.00 granted mg daughter didn’t even drink hers because they tasted so bad. After an $100 bill and terrible food, we will definitely NOT be returning, good staff, very disappointing food.

Truly a five star restaurant! We go to Cafe ML when celebrating with friends, on our way to a show, or just on a night when we don’t feel like cooking. Delicious and creative food in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The hostess, manager, and servers always seem genuinely happy to see us, and ready to provide a wonderful dining experience.
Our favorite Detroit area restaurant!

First time, service was as friendly and a bit slow. Restaurant was busy which must have been why. Food was good, but not great. Nachos were very greasy and dense, guacamole was excellent. Chicken tacos weren’t tender or very flavorful, fish tacos were cooked right but a bit fishy. We will be back to try other dishes, colleagues highly recommend this place so perhaps we missed something.

The chicken lemon rice soup was very good! Best thing I had. I didn’t really care for the ML burger; it was decent at best. The fries were not hot, dry, and burnt tasting. The service and atmosphere was pleasant.

Came as a group so we got to try a lot of different things! Brussels sprouts were the fav app, so good we got another order of it. Cauliflower was okay and tuna was meh. Meals were hit or miss. The burger was awesome and one of us had the walleye and she said it was great. The rosemary chicken didn’t have enough sauce and had a lotttt of rosemary. Someone got the steak and it was super super fatty. Peanut butter dessert was great! Overall, it was good. Steak to me was super overpriced and only a little piece was eaten bc of how fatty it was. Other than that, we had a good experience. Restaurant was super cold so bundle up.

Our entire experience here was fantastic. The cocktails were great, the food was delicious and our service was above and beyond expectations! This would be a great first date spot or any date really!! The environment is so great. I was feeling indecisive between 2 drinks and our excellent waiter offered to surprise me with one of them and honestly I wish they all did that!! Jordan gave the best service I’ve had in years! All around just highly recommended!

We were at Cafe ML a few nights ago and we all enjoyed our meals. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Can’t wait to go back again.
