This was definitely not what I was expecting. Wanting to grab some food while exploring downtown Detroit, we decided to try 42 as it was right in the Ren-Cen, was advertised to have floor to ceiling windows to provide a view of the river/Windsor skyline, and just seemed like a neat place for lunch. Boy did we luck out! We were seated right away next to the windows with an optimal view of the skyline, and despite it being a chilly day, you wouldn't have known what with the sun warming your back through the windows. The decor was simple, modern, and classy, the room felt very open with the high ceilings, and I just felt happy walking around the circular room to our table. However, despite the fancy-schmancy decor, you could just as easily go dressed in jeans and sneakers as you would if you were in a suit. We opted to have their lunch buffet which actually came out to less than most the dishes offered (a whopping $11/each). They had a small salad bar, a bruschetta bar which I have never seen before, a decent selection which included mashed and sweet potatoes, some sort of creamed spinach/pea stuff, turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce (like Thanksgiving dinner!), this cod in some yummy cream sauce, gnocchi (I love gnocchi!!), this really really yummy seafood gumbo, and of course a selection of little desserts. Little enough in fact, that you could get away with trying one of each =P Our waitress was very nice, attentive, and above all funny which made our dining experience that much better (and refreshing after the not so great experience at Ronin the evening before). I really enjoyed having lunch here, and would definitely be up for coming back if I'm ever in the area again.

forty-two degrees north is the restaurant off the main lobby of the beautiful Detroit Marriott at the Reaissance Center in downtown Detroit, right next to the river and across from Canada and the city of Windsor. The Renaissance Center was the anchor to revitilize downtown Detroit. It is a highly styled complexed of 5 towers in a circular design, with General Motors in the center building, and the Marriott Hotel taking up part of the surrounding monoliths. The "Ren Cen" as it is called, is a maze of concentric circles and connecting elevators and escalators, seemingly to invoke the image of freeway on and off ramps, with GM's latest model cars in parked throughout the lobbies. The Marriott's overlooks the Detroit river that separates the US with Canada, and has a styling of large concrete stylized block construction mixed with glass and steel more like a high end Hyatt than a traditional Marriotts. The forty-two degrees north has a huge glass wall picture window that opens out to the river and the Windsor, Canada skyline. The furnishings are high end hotel lobby like in modern tones and construction. The Lunch menu offers a range of appetizers from $6 to $14, which includes sweet potatoe fries, vegetable platter, crispy buffalo shrimp, and chicken fingers. Soups and salads range from $6 to $11 including French onion, Steak salad, Spinach and Caesar salads. Sandwiches are $10 - $12 and include meatloaf, burger, reuben, and classic club. WInes by the class are all priced at $8 and bottled beers come from Europe and the US priced from $4.5 - $5. I had the Turkey Burger with swiss cheese and avacado, and I subbed in Sweet Potato Fries over regular French Fries ($12) and a diet coke. View and ambiance were great, service was sub-par. The Renaissance Center provided some revitalization, coupled with the newer Ford Field staidium. But when there isn;t a game in town, downtown is pretty emtpy. And with the collapse of the auto industry, the revitalization of Detroit's downtown has taken huge steps backwards. I figure you and I now own a part of the GM building, seeing how our taxes helped pay for the company to get bailed out.

Other then the gorgeous, unobstructed views of the river and canada, there's not much to boot.... The prices are ridiculously expensive. The choices are limited. The omelet is so-so.... The two stars are for the acknowledgement that i was fed and didn't get food poisoning. maybe we should have chosen the Westin's breakfast instead?

This restaurant is located inside the Marriott Hotel at the Renaissance Center. It's very modern, decorated in rich hues and most importantly clean. My business associates usually like meeting up here because the waiters aren't very pushy when we take our time to eat and discuss business. That's a huge plus. Another plus is the cityscape - I've only seen it during day time, but I'd imagine how pretty it looks in the evening. The only downside is that the food doesn't measure up to it's ambiance. Very plain Jane... I was disappointed...

I was attending a conference at the Marriott at the Renaissance Center. I invited a colleague to Forty-Two Degrees North for the breakfast buffet. At luxury hotels, I find breakfast buffets to be a special treat. Well, not so at Forty-Two Degrees North. My guest and I walked through the doors at the restaurant entrance, and the hostess, who was thirty feet in front of us, was apparently talking to someone, but we could not see who. When we got closer, we realized she was talking to us all along, giving us a canned welcome speech. She could have at last waited for us to reach her so that she would have appeared sincere. We were taken to a table where the sun was shining in our eyes (it was a little after 7am). We asked for a different table, where the sun wouldn't be shining in our eyes, and we were given a different table. Ten minutes later, the sun moved and was shining in our eyes again. So we moved again. The server helped us move our plates and drinks only when we were reaching the end of our move. She did not clear off the other settings that were already at the new table, so there were six place settings for us two people. At the omelet station, the chef sprayed the omelet pan liberally with oil, which is sort of okay, but then he kept on ladling more and more oil on the spatula, as if the omelet would stick to the spatula. Why use so much oil, especially when you're already using a nonstick pan? The bacon and sausage, in warming trays, turned out to be cold. I returned to the buffet, got myself a fresh plate of bacon and sausage, and then asked at the omelet station for my bacon and sausage to be warmed up. The chef (a different one now) refused to do it. She said for me to ask my server to go get it microwaved! Since when does a restaurant at a luxury hotel microwave already-cooked food? I returned to my table and tried a piece of bacon, which was indeed too cold to be worth eating. So I asked the server if I could have some bacon and sausage "cooked to order" and not microwaved. She took my cold sausage and bacon away. When she returned, she brought back the very same sausage and bacon (I recognized the bacon strip I had taken a bite out of). It was lukewarm. It was the old food microwaved, not fresh food cooked to order. Same with the sausage. Freshly cooked bacon and sausage are steaming hot with a freshly grilled taste, not that slightly dry and dull taste you get when you microwave already-cooked meat to lukewarmness. It's ironic that you can get a fully cooked-to-order breakfast at the Waffle House but not really at the Marriott. The selection of croissants, breads, bagels, etc. was meager. And it was all hidden on the dark side of a wall that is behind you if you are facing the omelet station, so it is easy to miss. Usually the baked goods are displayed prominently in breakfast buffets. The croissant I had was dry and I did not finish it. And at 7am, the music/muzak was Motown! Good for happy hour perhaps, but not a breakfast meeting with a colleague when we are attending a business conference at the Marriott.

The bar in the hotel was packed, but this little restaurant with a good view of the river was empty! We sat next to the window and had a great little dinner. They don't have beers on tap here, but if you're nice they will run to the bar and get you one... Dessert was AWESOME!

HORRIBLE!! We went for Detroit Restaurant Week. one would expect it to be great, WRONG. I am attaching my letter, which they have not even bothered to reply to. Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center Attention: General Manager 400 Renaissance Drive Detroit, Michigan 48243 Dear Sir or Madame: I would like to express my extreme disappointment in our dining experience at 42 Degrees North this past Friday night, October 1, 2010. For two weeks I relished the idea of our first dining experience at the restaurant for the Detroit Restaurant Week event. After making the initial reservation I was called by a representative of 42North to reschedule because it was "booked for a private event". So I accepted for another day. Upon our arrival last night we were greeted in a cold and impersonal manner without a friendly hello or with a smile for that matter. After being seated we began to peruse the wine list. We asked our server what the "wine of the week" was, she stated that there was no such thing and that "I have been trying to get them to take that off the menu, so many people ask". This was NOT followed up with a recommendation on a selection, which, in my experiences is somewhat standard in other restaurants. We then selected another wine and after a few minutes were told that it was not available. After TWO other selections FINALLY we found one that they actually had, yet with each selection being relayed to us as being "out", again no option was offered and this was followed by a giggle by the server. When the overly anticipated main course arrived, the stacked beef wellington, the true level of disappointment also arrived. The roasted root vegetables, the 9 total dices that were on our plates, we nearly raw. In fact they were so undercooked they were beyond being uneatable. After tasting the small overly cooked pieces of meat that resembled breakfast steaks from some slimy greasy spoon hash house, the meal had officially been a disaster. Finally the last of our misery arrived with the pumpkin crème brulee. This atrocious desert resembled Mexican flan. It actually rolled in the bowl and the top was just as soft as the rest. This was clear evidence that it had been prepared well in advanced of it being served. I am including an excerpt of what the top of crème brulee should be: Crème brûlée usually is served in individual ramekins. Discs of caramel may be prepared separately and put on top just before serving, or the caramel may be formed directly on top of the custard, immediately before serving. To do this, sugar is sprinkled onto the custard, then caramelized under a broiler/salamander, with a butane torch (or similar), or by flambéing a hard liquor on it. Sadly, the hype and expectations we invoked in ourselves for the Restaurant Week fell far below any norms desired. I certainly hope this letter will prompt positive changes with the issues we experienced on Friday. Sincerely,
