I had the pleasure to visit Wright & Company on Thursday prior to their official opening today (Monday  7/20). Lish and I went to a practice dinner last week. I read a little bit from Eater & Crain’s but didn’t know what to expect.

The duo of Dave Kwiatkowski (Sugar House) and Marc Djozlija (Wolfgang Puck Restaurants at MGM Detroit) started the small plates and well curated drinks concept. We entered on the side door and rode up a beautiful new (or well cleaned) elevator.

The reward of the short trip up was a gorgeously decorated space.  High tin ceilings, giant artwork, polished dark wood with huge windows. Some serious coin was spent on this remodel.

The drink menu is what you would come to expect from the child of Sugar House. The beers are both local but exotic, the wine is well researched and often from the US but finally the cocktails are spectacular.

There is a mix of classics and originals all with a unique touch from the bar and it’s owners.

We had the Michigan Avenue Cocktail that has a classic feel with a personal influence from the bar. It was a great end to a long day at work.

The concept is small plates and we tried a number of them. Above is the caprese, which was so good we wanted to order a second.

Our friend, and Wright and Company’s wine expert, Christian Satchel recommended a number of great wines including one called Fusion which I need to research more. He also recommended the lemon, honey, ricotta spread as well as the duck foie gras.

The scale that the high ceilings adds creates a great atmosphere for the place. The large paintings on the wall class up a joint that is already pretty classy.

If you happen to work in Detroit, check out this place for a Happy Hour drink. If you are out in the burbs, make a special trip. It will be worth your time.

Budmo!
