Not so long ago the idea of a high-end restaurant operating in Hazel Park would have been unheard of. That has changed.
Hour Detroit has named "Mabel Gray" at 23825 John R. in Hazel Park as the "2025 Restaurant of the Year."
The magazine writes:
It's a rarity for a restaurant to storm onto the scene and remain exciting almost 10 years later. But Mabel Gray, which opened in September of 2015, continues to exceed our expectations by pushing boundaries with globally inspired seasonal menus, keeping its staff creative, happy, and fulfilled -- and not getting stale.
It goes on to say that Mabel Gray has pulled off the "impossible feat of being truly outstanding for an entire decade."
The restaurant's website says:
Food and beverage selections rotate with the seasons and availability of local farm products, with no set menu. Everything is handmade from scratch, with fresh, ethical ingredients from Chef Rigato’s extensive network of farms, butchers and foragers. Expect daily updates and activity.
