If you're looking for a unique dining experience, treat your taste buds with a trip to Yemans St. in Hamtramck, MI. Yemans St. is a new, permanent pop-up restaurant, owned by the ever-so-gracious hosts, Matt and Corrie Tinker. It features meals prepared by passionate chefs from the Metro Detroit area served in a single-story, loft-like, yet intimate building, located directly across the street from Polish Village Cafe.

The building boasts high ceilings, and is filled with long tables and a funky, eclectic group of chairs. Two skylights showcase color changing LED lights, which ad to the ambience, as does the hanging artwork by local artists.

We had the pleasure of dining with approximately thirty guests for Friday’s meal, prepared by chef Jeff Rose of CAYA Smokehouse Grill (a favorite of ours), and paired by sommelier, Michael Korn of Woodberry Wine. We enjoyed the dinner, drinks and conversation so much that we neglected to photograph the food. However, the course and pairing list provided at the bottom of this post is plenty mouth-watering!

We were pleasantly surprised to see local artist and owner of Cyberoptix Tie Lab, Bethany Shorb enjoying a night out with her beau, Kip Ewing. They are both so incredibly talented, and whenever I see them together, I can’t help thinking kismet is real.

Heartfelt thanks to Matt, Corrie, Michael, Jeff and the CAYA crew for a fantastic experience.
