With huge windows that frame drop-dead gorgeous views of the twinkling city lights, you don’t have to guess how this restaurant, located atop the MotorCity Casino Hotel, got its name. Everything from the interior design—including hanging lightbulb globes—to the cutting-edge table settings defines urban sophistication. The artfully plated, creative cuisine, much of it organic and seasonal, perfectly complements the swanky atmosphere. Be sure to save room for one of the sugary works of art created by award-winning pastry chef Patricia Nash.
