It has been just over a year since the Grey Ghost restaurant at 47 E. Watson in Detroit's Midtown/Brush Park area opened.
The local dean of restaurant critics, Molly Abraham, stopped by to check up on it and deliver a review for The Detroit News:
Outwardly, not much has changed at this spot between Midtown and Brush Park since it opened in 2016. It was packed pretty much every night then, and now that it has passed its first anniversary (July 28), it has gained even more momentum.
It is difficult to pinpoint exactly why. Of course, the food is well above average and the staff is well-trained. It’s attractive, if not particularly gorgeous from a decor standpoint, and, in fact, I don’t think proprietors Joe Giacomino, John and David Vermiglio and barman Will Lee care too much about that. What they do care about is maintaining a friendly atmosphere and being a good neighbor in this appealing neighborhood of new and vintage condo buildings that typifies what a city street should be.
Grey Ghost is just a pleasant place to go and while the brief menu has undergone changes, more tweaks than true changes, the character has stayed the same.
