Just OK. Went with another couple based on good reviews and recommendations. "Tableside Caesar" NOT prepared by YOUR table, but at a table by the door. Salads were HUGE but the cost for four was $48, and were all floating in dressing. Not sure if the piano accompanist ditched at the last minute, but Dana, an apparently popular local singer, had to sing to canned accompaniment tracks. My wife & I ordered perch towers, advertised as "lightly battered & flash fried" by our friend server. We were surprised when deep friend perch a la fish & chips style arrived. Pretty tasty but not what we expected. Our friend said his pork chop was just ok, but his wife thoroughly enjoyed her tenderloin. Decent drink pours & wine list & friendly people, but wouldn't race back.

Great food. Wonderful ambience. The owner works there making good infront of you all night. He is 82. Very remarkable man. The singer named Dana was the best. We had a marvelous time at Boodles. We will definitely be back again.

I love this place. Ruthann is the best server in the place. I have been going for several years now. I always request Ruthann as my server.

Came here with my husband to try out some of their happy hour bites and we were not disappointed! Their happy hour is 4-6pm Tuesday-Friday. We arrived promptly at 4pm and were the only people inside. We like to sit at the bar for better service. We tried some of their $10 small plates, wings and chicken Parmesan. The wings were good, very tasty. The voodoo sauce that the wings were tossed in was also good, but we got a very large amount, they were drowning in sauce. The chicken Parmesan over pasta was delicious and I'm still thinking about it to this day!! For drinks we got beer and wine and they were good happy hour prices. We can't wait to go back and try more items from their happy hour menu, as well as their regular menu!

Stopped in for dinner last night, something bad happened with the menu, my fillet was severely undercooked to the point where it inedible! It was raw! And It was bland. They didn’t even season it at all. The zip sauce was also underwhelming. Plain potatoes by themselves with no seasoning or gravy or anythingDefinitely not worth $113 for two steaks

Dined here on 3/8/24 had an old school lounge vibe. I loved the atmosphere, live lounge singer, table side Ceaser Salad and classic entrees to chose from. I had the Saganaki and Scallops. The foods was amazing from the bread basket to the main course. Our server was very pleasent and pretty much on top of it. Every table had guests and they were so busy. I would recommend this establishment for your dining pleasure.

You can't top a restaurant that serves excellent food, great service, a superb bar, inviting atmosphere, and value too. I've been there many times over many years, with different friends, and have never been disappointed. Can I give Boodles 6 stars?
Boodle's was an absolute delight! Bruno's table side Caesar salad was the best I've ever had. The staff was warm and welcoming. The broiled whitefish was still super flavorful and the past was fantastic.

Classic restaurant serving excellent steaks and seafood along with an awesome Caesar salad, constructed table-side with fresh ingredients. Ruth-Ann and Bruno bring some tasty meals that you will not find at most other restaurants. There is entertainment nightly, plenty of parking and easy access off of I-75 at Eleven Mile in Madison Heights, Mi. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you will come to respect. Certainly one of the restaurants I miss most in Michigan.

I made a reservation for a table of 8 at 730 for my mom 60th birthday called today to verify my reservation and apparently they never booked it. They were rude and hung up in my face. The manager did. The girl did not give me his name but I believe her name was Tiffany. They said they were booked its nothing they can do and was rude and nasty about it. Now I have to figure something out for her 60th and my mom is sick and we don’t even know if she will be here next year.

The food was delicious. The ambiance is old school in a great retro atmosphere. Four of us had dinner and could not have enjoyed our meals more. however: it could not make up for the noise level that was deafening or the crying infant at the next table or the abysmal service. our waitress on more than one fly by said "it is not my fault" well it wasn't our fault either. Her inability to check with us on our meal satisfaction was bad enough but our juice glass size water was never refilled and we waited over 30 minutes after we finished eating for our bill with no mention of dessert or coffee. Even though the food is award winning it is not worth a return trip.
