Daily chef's features, including entrees
Executive Chef Matt Tulpa keeps creativity and approachability at the forefront in shaping daily entree-style specials in addition to our shareplates menu. Our kitchen is smaller than that of a traditional restaurant, so expect a small selection of thoughtful and creative options. We'd love to have you join us for dinner, appetizers or dessert -- whatever you're in the mood for!
We can accommodate most dietary restrictions with 48 hours advance notice.
Let shelby host your next private event for a truly memorable experience
We've hosted everything from corporate dinners and political fundraisers to rehearsal dinners and even weddings. Situated a stone's throw from Huntington Place in the heart of Downtown Detroit, we're walking distance from the action and love curating special and memorable events.
We can host seated dinners for up to 35 guests in our bank vault room and strolling events for up to 69 guests. Inquire today to learn more.
