Featured: Metro Detroit's best new restaurants of 2024

Downtown Plymouth has a lot of nice restaurants, and in February they got a new one that adds a level of sophistication and focused hospitality. The Ledger is formerly Greek Islands Eatery and was once a huge, hulking bank. The high ceiling and large windows are assets and care is taken to make sure the dining room isn't cavernous or too loud. When I reviewed the Ledger over the summer, I thought it was a great spot for a date night or other special occasion, because the staff is so attentive, especially to tables with something to celebrate. Chef Greg Alexiev's menu is much like an American steakhouse, but with some worldly influences like duck wings with garlic soy pepper sauce and a lamb and harissa pierogi that has been swapped out for a seasonal spiced butternut squash samosa. He cooks a mean steak, too, served with his own spin on buttery zip sauce. The Ledger also has weekend brunch service that is quite tony with surf-and-turf Benedict, shakshuka, pumpkin French toast and a $130 "bankers reserve" steak and eggs dish. Don't forget the cocktails and mocktails, which are complex and beautiful to look at.
