2 New Restaurants Opening In Downtown Detroit

DETROIT — Two new restaurants are opening Saturday in a renovated building in downtown Detroit.

Experience Zuzu and Upstairs Bar, both owned by The Elia Group, will open Saturday in Elia Group's 511 Woodward Building, just south of Campus Martius.

"An incredible amount of thought went into creating Experience Zuzu and Upstairs Bar," Founder and CEO Zaid Elia said. "Along with iCrave, a world-renowned design firm, we curated a space to create a totally immersive and unforgettable iconic experience for our guests, unlike any other in downtown Detroit or even the Midwest."

The group says Experience Zuzu will feature eclectic new Asian cuisine, including hand-rolled sushi, appetizers, wok-fired specialties and much more, along with a full bar, a specially-sourced selection of sake, champagne and wine.

Upstairs Bar will be on the second floor and will give an "over-the-top party vibe," with a lounge and club serving craft drinks, small plates and sushi, according to the group.
