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.

How does Supper Club get such a low price from some of Detroit’s most expensive restaurants?

Supper Club offers only one menu option (some restaurants may offer an additional option) which reduces complexity in the kitchen.  Supper Club requires that guests purchase tickets in advanced which takes the guess work out of preparing for an unknown amount of diners, reducing overhead on wasted food.  Supper Club has open seating, reducing complexity in reservations and seating arrangements.  And restaurants are free to choose the date of the Supper Club which is usually on their quieter night of the week.

What is the average crowd of a Supper Club like? 

Supper Club attracts people from their twenties to eighties, from Detroit to as far as Canada, Flint, Ann Arbor and beyond.  There are people that come by themself and people that come with friends.  There is no average Supper Club diner.

What is the dress code for a Supper Club event?

Supper Club does not enforce a dress code, however each restaurant may have a dress code of their own.  Please dress appropriately for each restaurant. 

I am a vegetarian / lactose intolerant / allergic to something on the menu / don't like peas, is there an alternative menu option that suites my dietary needs?

Supper Club only offers diners the menu option posted.  The large discounts we are able to negotiate with Detroit's fine dining restaurant are achieved through the simplicity of offering a single menu option.  The menu is posted in advanced so that each person can determine if the menu fits their diet.  Unfortunately, it would be impossible to accommodate every person’s diet.  You are always welcome to order additional items off the restaurants regular menu and keep your own tab.  However, alternative menus, substitutions or any other changes to the published Supper Club menu will not be offered, so please don't ask.

I am a vegetarian and would like to see more regular vegetarian Supper Club events, what can I do?

We would love to see more vegetarian events too!  If you would like to organize a vegetarian Supper Club, please email supperclub@detroitsynergy.org and we'll be happy to help you get started. 

Is alcohol available at a Supper Club event?

Only items called out in the menu are included in your ticket purchase.  Some Supper Club events do include a glass of wine and some do not.  In either case, if you would like to purchase something beyond what is called out in the Supper Club menu, feel free to do so on your own tab.  You are responsible for any items purchased beyond what is called out on the Supper Club menu.

I do not have a credit card or do not want to provide my credit card information online, is there an alternative way to purchase a Supper Club ticket outside of the shop.detroitsynergy.org website?

Unfortunately, no.  Detroit Synergy has limited resource and operates mainly from our virtual office online.  We do not have a physical office or ticket booth to handle cash transactions. 

I purchased tickets to a Supper Club event, now what?

You will not be mailed a ticket to a Supper Club event.  All guests who have purchased tickets are on a master list which is provided to the restaurant.  You may bring your emailed receipt if you like, however it is not required to check in.  The restaurant host or hostess will check you in when you arrive.

I purchased tickets and would like to be seated with someone else who has purchased tickets, could you please ensure we sit together?

No.  Supper Club has open seating and diners are seated as they arrive.  To insure that your party sits together, please wait until your whole party has arrive and arrive early to insure that enough seats are available to seat your entire party together.  Guests should be flexible and open to seating with people they do not know.  If you are celebrating a birthday or other special occasion with a large group, and sitting together is very important to you, we strongly encourage you to explore the restaurant on your own so that the restaurant can accommodate all of your needs.  Supper Club is intended to introduce diners to new dining experiences with the hopes that they will return on their own and with friends. 

I purchased tickets to a Supper Club event and now I cannot attend, what should I do?

Unfortunately we do not offer refunds for Supper Club tickets; however tickets are transferable and may be used by someone else should you find that you are unable to attend.  Please have your replacement check in under the name that the tickets were purchased.

I called the restaurant and they do not have any record of my reservation?

Supper Club tickets are not purchased through the restaurant where the Supper Club is hosted, they are purchase through DSG, so the restaurant will have no record of your ticket purchase.  Please do not call the restaurant for any details regarding the Supper Club event like where to get your ticket, if you can sit by a window, if you can make menu substitutions, or any other details related to your Supper Club experience.  Please email supperclub@detroitsynergy.org for any questions which are not answered on this page.  If you have restaurant specific questions, please direct them to the restaurant.  Like what is the restaurants dress code, directions, business hours, or where to park.
