I had the pleasure of visiting the Bistro on a Thursday night. We walked in to a full buzzing inviting dining room. Great music was playing and the decor is well done with artistic treasures catching your eye here and there. I arrived hungry. I ordered chili knowing it'd be quick and take the edge off. Normally chili is not my thing.... This chili was excellent meaty goodness well balanced spices and piping hot. Checked all my boxes for well done. We enjoyed the Mediterranean plank a long time favorite. It's delicious! The little nuggets of fried artichoke are a treat. The olive tapenade and roasted garlic keep us coming back. Services was timely, gracious, fun and funny. I love that a salad compliments your entree at the Bistro. The house salad is simply one of my favorites fresh greens house made dressing and garnished with dried fruit pine nuts and blue cheese. My boyfriend had the crave worthy Caesar. Entrees were Steak Diane a true classic that is perfectly executed and a special of Blue chicken the is worthy of consideration for a permanent spot on the menu. Although we did not enjoy dessert I got some views of others having the pleasure and next time I'll save room and indulge. There is a interesting mix of signature cocktails, full service bar with local craft beers, a thoughtful wine list that covers all the bases from a weeknight trying something new and not spending a fortune to let's make it special a go for a classic Cabernet. All in all you can enjoy the Bistro on weekly regular basis and have great specials or menu staples and never tire of beginning there.

I visited Diamond Jim Brady's for the first time and I will definitely be back. I had the trout special and the fish was perfectly cooked and tasted so good. My server Mo was super friendly and made me feel welcome.

I visited the restaurant for the first time on 3/30/2024 and I will most definitely go back. I had the trout special and the fish was perfectly cooked and so flavorful. My waitress Mo was so friendly and made me feel welcome.

Recent visit was first in many years but it was Good Friday and I just thought of them for Fish. I was surprised by the layout which was crowded but manageable. The menu was well done with selections for almost every taste. We had fish and chips on our mind but seeing ahi tuna, rainbow trout, whitefish, salmon and there may have been something else on the daily made us question our choice, but we went ahead with the Fish and Chips anyway. The fish and chips was generous and done to perfection but lacked much flavor. I think the batter, which was light but could use some sort of flavor. It came with an excellent salad and some very tiny rolls which were sitting in a small puddle of butter or oil. As a side note there were little things that seemed off, things like pepper mixed into the salt shakers. Since they were all like that I guess that's a trademark but I don't remember it from the restaurant when it was at Greenfield and 7 mile or when they were in Beverly Hills, MI. Overall, this is a restaurant that will attract high end clients and I would not be surprised it a different choice on our part would have left us with a more positive impression.

The food was fantastic. Getting seated in an outdoor tent, less so. But overall this was a very enjoyable dinner experience.

This gem deserves bragging rights!! I'm not sure which was better,the food or the service!! Both earned 10 stars in our opinion ✨️ The crispy Brussels, Koren short ribs, BBQ over risotto and carrot cake (perfect 70 year old recipe) made for scrumptious dining!! Scott (with 2 "t's")was charming, helpful, attentive, and a great reason to return over and over. He is the poster child (to us) what GREAT service can and should like. Thank you Scott. for making a good dining experience phenomenal!!

I wish I had remembered to take photos! But, my partner and I came here on a whim with no reservation on a Saturday evening, and they graciously sat us right away. Gina, our server was so nice and helpful and friendly. And, the food was delicious! I got The short rib tacos and my partner got the burger with applewood smoked bacon and it was all very tasty!Would definitely come back again, everyone was so kind! Cheers!

I’ve been here 7 or 8 times and the food has been amazing every time. I bring all my friends here and they love it too. The potato crusted whitefish is to die for.

I wish we had a good experience in this place. First, the cocktail drink (Poma Paloma) is very boring. I expected more due to the description of the drink. Second, salad didn't arrive until >30 mins. We had to call our server to follow up (we called her 3x, 2nd time was right in front of her face but we don't know why she didn't hear us. It wasn't even loud in the area). People say it is the best Ceasars salad but it's just rich in garlic flavor. So don't expect. It is good but definitely not the best. Entrée - Buddha Bowl and the Gem Chicken. They both taste like they just put random stuff to create a meal. I also don't know why they put squash in everything. Or maybe we just ordered bad food. Power Bowl, the bread and the ambience are good though. Unfortunately, not coming back. ?

I love this place. I know operating a restaurant is incredibly difficult, and yet this place makes it look easy. I’ve been coming here for at least 15 years, and the consistency is remarkable. I’ve never had a poor dish or drink, and service is always spot on. As a single guy, eating out at restaurants is one of my favorite things to do so I’ve been to a ton over the years. I can count on one hand the places that have stood the test of time and have never faltered on food or service- and this is one of them. Absolute kudos to the ownership & staff!
