Dine With Us

Elevate your concert experience with refined, pre-performance dining at Orchestra Hall. Guests may enjoy an elegant, fully-coursed buffet in the Paradise Lounge—an intimate setting overlooking Woodward Avenue—featuring thoughtfully prepared cuisine designed to complement an evening of music. Reservations are required, or please contact paradiselounge@dso.org or 313.576.5150.

Located in historic Orchestra Hall on the second level, Paradise Lounge features large windows overlooking Woodward Avenue and the corner of Parsons Street. It is open for your enjoyment on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings.

The DSO is proud to partner with Abode Fine Dining as our catering service.

About our chefs:

Mike Eckles's culinary talents gained national recognition with his appearance on the Netflix show The Pressure Cooker. His stellar performance on this top 10 series showcased his culinary finesse to a global audience, solidifying his reputation as a master chef. Despite the spotlight, Mike remains committed to providing personalized fine dining culinary services in the Birmingham area as a private chef, ensuring each client receives an unforgettable culinary journey.

Marcus Donofrio has worked at many fine dining restaurants in Detroit and Chicago. His Italian roots and love for hosting have always been the center of his culinary focus. Before starting Abode Fine Dining, Marcus held the role of Sous Chef at the acclaimed Selden Standard in Midtown Detroit. 

Concessions are available in the William Davidson Atrium prior to concerts, and complimentary coffee is available on the first floor during Friday morning Coffee Concerts.

Bars are located on all three levels of the atrium and in the Sosnick Courtyard during outdoor events—offering everything from a classic Diet Coke to beer, wine, specialty cocktails, and full-service spirits.

If you find that you’ve waited in line during intermission, but hear the alert chimes that the show is about to start, don’t worry: You can take your drink with you to your seat and enjoy it with the show! You are welcome to bring drinks to your seat at all performances except Friday morning Coffee Concerts, but food must remain in the William Davidson Atrium. You may also talk to your trusty bartender to place a pre-order to be ready with your name at intermission.
