I love it here!! Mr. Bert took great care of us. Excellent bartenders. Champagne and her band were phenomenal!! Wonderful venue in the heart of the Eastern Market with ample amount of parking.

We came here for valentine's day and they did not disappoint, Will was our server, good service from the time we stepped in the door like a restaurant should when you spending money, entertainment was good (just a tad too loud cause you couldn't hardly hear what the person or people you with were saying) we had been here before when they had kinda first opened,
We will be back again
Thanks Motown Bistro, job well done

Melba was our server and she was great! We came for valentines dinner tonight and the food was so delicious. I found this place looking for something to do with jazz music and the music that played the whole time was just what I was looking for. The lobster and stuffed spinach was so good!! ???
