Lady of the House is an idea.
Lady of the House is someone many of us grew up with, rooted in our own families and homes. She’s the matriarch, the maternal archetype symbolizing warmth, hospitality, and pleasant control. She’s the person who taught us to cook, and host, in the same way that Chef Kate’s mother and grandmothers taught her as a child.
This idea, very real for every member of the Lady family, is a way of thinking about things, of taking care, of preparing food and drink with love, and gratitude. We embody the strength, perseverance, generosity, and care that symbolizes every Lady of the House, whether she’s preparing a meal, or working hard to build a better life for loved ones and beyond.
As a concept,
Lady of the House is a Modern American restaurant and bar by Chef Kate Williams in Detroit’s historic Corktown neighborhood. Our menus demonstrate a passion for knowledge and technique, with special emphasis on freshness and creativity, also reflecting a strong commitment to community sourcing and support of Michigan farms.
The goal of our hospitality team is to provide an unforgettable dinner party every night, each visit a unique experience for travelers far and near, or neighbors across the street. Our offerings may surprise or delight you, but after all, we’re responsible for your happiness, and this means you should want for nothing while you’re here, already so generously sharing your evening with us. Quite truly, we couldn’t do it without you. We look forward to caring for you soon.

LADY’S NEW COVID-FRIENDLY SPACE
WOW! What a crazy year this has been! We will never be able to express how truly grateful we are for all of those who support us and allow us the opportunity to serve you in any capacity the world is comfortable with! Before November 18th, 2020, we had implemented the following procedures to ensure a safe workspace and dining room for everyone! We are proud to now offer delivery and curbside to-go options for a full lady experience in the comfort of your home until the stay-at-home order is lifted. Please stay safe and let us know how we can care for you from a safe distance!
To ensure an incredible experience for both our staff and our guests, we ask that these following rules are adhered to while dining with us:
Your body temperature is not 100.4 degrees or greater.
You are not experiencing any of the following symptoms related to COVID-19: fever, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, loss of taste, or smell.
Within the last 14 days have you have not been in close contact with a person known or suspected to have COVID-19.
You have not traveled to another country within the last 14 days.
We ask that you bring your most comfortable masks to wear at all times that you are not seated at your table (stepping outside, heading to the restroom, etc.) If you do touch a door handle of sorts, there is hand sanitizer just inside and outside the doors for your frequent use.
As you are enjoying your long-awaited experience, please do your very best to maintain social distancing from our staff and other guests. This includes respectfully refraining from standing, joining chairs, or interacting with nearby tables to ensure everyone is comfortable and provided a safe experience. We will also be pacing reservations accordingly to minimize the wait times. However, we kindly ask that those who are waiting remain socially distanced outside or in their cars at which point we will be happy to text you when your table has been prepared for your dining experience.
We will set your table completely after you are seated to ensure none of your silverware, glassware or plateware has been previously exposed to other guests. Additionally, we will provide a water bottle for your table and politely request that you fill your own water to limit contact. When your bottle is empty our team will swiftly provide a new bottle for you. In order to also minimize contact with your food, we ask that you pack your own leftovers and your server will provide a carryout bag to place them in.
Parties will be given strict dining timing and are asked to stay within our two-hour time limit.
In addition to the above-mentioned items, please note the following measures that we are also taking to ensure you are dining in a safe environment.
The restaurant has been cleaned daily (as usual) using a chemical disinfectant, which meets the EPA criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, on all surfaces.
We have a deep cleaning protocol in place should anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19 join us at Lady of the House. In the event that is the case, the restaurant will be shut down for the appropriate amount of time and deep cleaned before guests and staff will be allowed back in the building.
All staff have completed a health questionnaire and have gone through a temperature check before clocking in for every shift.
Staff is required to wear a mask at all times and gloves where appropriate while also washing their hands regularly.
All handles and communal surfaces throughout the restaurant will be sanitized every 30 minutes.
Staff has been supplied and trained on a comprehensive COVID-19 guidelines which address a broad range of policies and procedures to ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable dining experience.
As always, if you have any questions or need anything, please let us know! We are so excited to care for you soon!
