Sterling Heights does not have a restaurant row, so date night here is about picking one good room and staying in it. These are the highest-rated options in the city, by real Google ratings.

## The best-rated table in town

**Jacob's Eat and Drink** (34780 Van Dyke Ave) sits at 4.9 — the highest rating of any full-service restaurant in Sterling Heights. It is the safe pick if you want the food to carry the evening.

## If you want a show with dinner

**Ichiban Japanese Bistro** (44955 Hayes Rd) runs teppanyaki grill tables alongside a sushi menu and a full bar, at 4.7 from more than 4,000 reviews. Reservations are accepted and recommended for dinner. It is loud and theatrical, which is the point — good for a first date where silence would be awkward.

## Something hands-on

**KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot** (44751 Schoenherr Rd) is all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue and hot pot cooked at the table, rated 4.8. Dine-in only, last seating an hour before close. It is the most fun you can have at a table here, and it takes a couple of hours.

## Quieter, smaller

**La Peri Peri** (37891 Mound Rd) rates 4.8 and is the low-key choice. **Sheeba Restaurant** (40732 Van Dyke Ave) at 4.5 is the pick if you want Yemeni food and a long, unhurried meal.

## Dessert or a second stop

**Alkabeer Cafe** (37700 Van Dyke Ave) rates 4.7 and works as a late dessert-and-coffee stop when dinner ended early.

## A drink after

**Robusto's Cigar Bar and Bistro** (12170 Hall Rd) is the most adult room in the city at 4.7, with a bistro menu and outdoor seating. If you would rather stay casual, **Johnny Blacks Public House** (35000 Moravian Dr) has a patio and a 4.3 rating.

## How to plan it

Book Ichiban or Jacob's for 7, leave the second stop open, and keep the whole night inside the Van Dyke–Mound–Hall triangle. Nothing here is more than a ten-minute drive from the next thing.
