The Statler Menu
American RestaurantThe Statler at 313 Park Ave in downtown Detroit presents an upscale French-American bistro menu that combines classic Parisian comfort food with polished contemporary touches. The selection ranges from oysters, steak tartare, French onion soup, seafood, duck, and premium steaks to brunch favorites such as Croque Madame and avocado toast. Cocktails, wine, beer, coffee, and other beverages round out the dining experience.
Signature choices include Braised Short Ribs, Maple Leaf Farms Roast Duck, fresh Alaskan Halibut, French Onion Soup, and seafood preparations such as oysters and mussels. Prices sit firmly in the upscale range, with starters generally in the teens and low $20s and many main courses around $30-$55 or more, reflecting premium ingredients and refined preparation.
Fresh seafood, carefully cooked meats, rich butter sauces, herbs, vegetables, and bright acidic accents create balanced yet indulgent flavors. Vegetarian dishes such as Délice Végétarien and vegetable-forward salads provide meat-free choices, while several entrées are identified as gluten-free. Lighter seafood and salad options are also available, although dedicated children's offerings are less prominent.
The Statler is best suited to brunch, elegant dinners, pre-theater meals, celebrations, date nights, and sophisticated group dining rather than quick breakfast service.
