"I recently visited Lumen Restaurant with a few of my sisters in Christ for brunch, and it was an enjoyable experience overall. The Christmas-themed decor added a delightful touch to the ambiance. The wait staff were attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Two of my sisters ordered the Shrimp & Grits, which were well plated but slightly bland in seasoning. I had the Chicken & Waffles, which was tasty; however, the chicken was crunchier and darker than I would have preferred. Despite these minor quirks, I’m definitely willing to give Lumen another try in the future"

"Absolutely fantastic! I highly suggest reserving the "igloos" outside as it offers a very private dining experience and you will easily meet the minimum spend. French Onion soup and Brussel sprouts were phenomenal. I would definitely be back if I were a local."

"This was my second visit to Lumen for food, and the experience was just as solid as the first. Our party each enjoyed drinks and an entree. The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting—perfect for a meal or drinks with family and friends. The staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing, which always makes a difference. Food and drinks were enjoyable across the board and came out well-timed. Lumen continues to be a reliable spot downtown and I'm looking forward to a return visit in the warmer months when the rooftop re-opens."

"My fiance and I decided on a last minute date night here and was able to obtain a reservation for their enclosed outdoor "igloo" seatings. Never done one before but it was prettt cool and their heater kicked on every 15 or so minutes but wasnt loud at all. Our waitress was very sweet as well. For our drink order I went with their Detroit Sour, it was good but for someone like myself who isn't much of a drinker it was a sipper for me but still made very well. For our Appetizer we went with their Calamari. Perfectly cooked, soft and not rubbery as some always overcook it. Was full of flavor and breaded very lightly. Definitely recommend. As for our entrées, I was going between their lamb or their braised short rib. Our waitress helped me out and she made an excellent choice with the Wagyu short rib. Tender and juicy this meat fell apart with my fork. The red wine sauce made this dish as it was packed full of flavor! My Fiance went with their Steak Frites and we've never had a steak frites where the steak wasn't already cut/ sliced in medallions before but other than that it was cooked to a perfect medium rare as requested and very tender. It came with a type of darker butter sauce to go on the steak and it was very delicious. As we didn't not get a dessert this night, I highly recommend coming out and dinning with them. Not once have we've recieved a dish that was subpar nor a drink either."

"My wife and I visited Lumen for a quick brunch before the Detroit Lions game. The food was absolutely amazing. we had zero complaints! We ordered the French toast, shrimp & grits, and huevos rancheros, and ate every single bite. We also each had a drink (a beer and a cocktail), which was the perfect way to start the day. We were greeted right away by our server, Skylar, who did an excellent job explaining the menu, sharing her favorite items, and making us feel welcome. She was friendly, attentive, and very timely with all our requests. My only small critique is that the floor was still wet from mopping (I assume), and there weren’t any “wet floor” signs visible. Overall, an amazing experience from start to finish and we’ll definitely be back!"
