The return of Lady of the House is one of the most anticipated reopenings in Detroit. “James Beard Award-nominated chef Kate Williams’ acclaimed restaurant Lady of the House will make its highly anticipated reopening in a stunning new Core City space with a revamped menu, opening in October,” shares Brand Manager Katy Carmichael. “Committed to bringing back what had long been her passion project, and her personal ode to the Irish hospitality she grew up with, Kate is resurrecting her evolved version of Lady of the House as a reflection of the chef she is today.” With sourcing ingredients locally whenever possible and operating a no-waste kitchen, Lady of the House is expected to offer a frequently rotating menu, but signature dishes are definitely set to make their return. Some of those include: “Steak Tartare with dijonnaise, crispy potato, and caviar, served with a charred leek top gremolata; the famed Whole Roasted Chicken served with challah migas and roasted shiitake and maitake mushrooms, topped with a frisée salad and a lemon rosemary gravy; and the popular Potato Donut dessert with sugared thyme and chamomile cream sauce.” Keep an eye out for the opening date, as you won’t want to miss out on these seasonal masterpieces.
