October Supper Club: The Whitney

The historic Whitney mansion has for decades been one of Detroit’s most prominent fine dining establishments, and Supper Club have long been fans (having visited a few years ago).  But times have changed, as we all know, and the Whitney has been reimagined, thanks in large part to forward-thinking owners trying to appeal to younger crowds and an eager, energetic, and stupendously talented new chef.  Thanks to his efforts, the Whitney is once again at the top of its gourmet game, and if you haven’t been back for awhile, it’s time you rediscovered what makes this place a Detroit dining institution.

October’s Supper Club will be held on Wednesday, October 28 beginning at 6:00PM.  On Wednesday, October 28 beginning with a cocktail hour at 6:00PM, join Supper Club as we rediscover an old favorite.  Mauer has created a beautiful Fall Harvest-themed four-course menu for us with a variety of hearty options which emphasize fresh, seasonal flavors.  Additional items will be billed individually upon consumption.

What is Supper Club?

Supper Club is aimed to introduce diners to the fine dining restaurants of Detroit.  This is achieved by offering a set meal at a low price so that guests can sample some of the foods these restaurants offer, without spending a lot of money.

When: Wednesday, October 28, 6:00PM

Where: The Whitney, 4421 Woodward Avenue

Cost: $40.00 per person, inclusive of tax and gratuity. 

Tickets:  Space is limited, so tickets MUST be purchased in advance.  Tickets available ONLY on the DSG store http://shop.detroitsynergy.org (+ $1.00 service fee). Tickets must be purchased by 9:00AM on Tuesday, October 27. Sorry, no cash transactions or same day add-ons will be accepted.  Email supperclub@detroitsynergy.org with any questions.  Please pass this information on to your friends, family, and coworkers, and anyone else interested in Detroit dining!

PLEASE NOTE: Ticket prices to this Supper Club have been increased to $40.00.  This increase has been long overdue in light of rising food costs, and the decision was made in order to better benefit you, the guest, as the options the restaurants are able to provide as well as the number of courses you receive can now be increased.  Going forward, this will be the pricing structure of all future Supper Club events.  After 5 years at $30.00, it was time for a change.  There will be some exceptions made for venues that do not have high average guest checks.  If you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to email me at supperclub@detroitsynergy.org.
