“You really don't meet nice service people anymore. But at this place, Charity, won my heart. Thank you for making my experience a happy one. Peace.“

“Wow. What an absolutely fantastic final dinner of 2023! After we managed to find a late dinner reservation for New Year's Eve, it was a relief to discover that our excitement about the tasting menu was well-placed. I would definitely recommend the drink pairings as well! The amuse-bouche featuring oysters from the West and East coasts was a delightful way to splash into the meal. The wasabi and the mangosteen featured in each of the oysters, respectively, complimented the beautiful brine of the oysters in such a wonderfully playful way. This first tasting urged us to pause the menu progression and order an extra dozen oysters to explore the other possibilities. Tasting from Vancouver to Prince Edward Island, they were beautifully prepared and of excellent quality. The first course of lobster salad felt like a summer in Maine. Not that I've ever been to Maine, but the imaginary scene flashed across my vision as I took that first refreshing bite. The grapefruit emulsion worked almost majestically with the light, refreshing flavor of the lobster salad. The tapioca chip was perfect for the crunch to fully bring the different elements of the dish together. A fascinating intersection of refreshment and comfort. The second course was the potato pavé. I'll be thinking of this potato often for the foreseeable future. It was one of those dishes that makes your eyes pop open a bit when you bite it as you realize how good it is. A beautifully layered and seared rectangle of flaky delicious potato resting with a lovely salsa brava speckled with trout roe, topped with tarragon, cured trout, and black truffle flakes. I don't even know what else to say. It was stunning. Sea urchin buttered ramen, the third course, will always be what I wish my at-home thrown-together ramen could be. It was rich, it was luscious, it was comforting. Growing up in southeast Texas, crawfish boils were always some of the most exciting times of the year. The crawfish tails in the ramen brought me back to those summer days eating crawfish with a cold beer. The duck breast for the fourth course was exceptionally cooked. It was juicy and flavorful and made a perfect bite with a bit of cauliflower, raisins, apricot, agrodolce, and foie-sauce. Each bite was such a symphony of flavor that kept me coming back. Last but absolutely not least was the gâteau ardéchois: the chestnut cream cake. Accompanied by cranberry coulis and crispy meringue bites, this dessert was a sweet but still mellow finish. While the coffee mascarpone ice cream was a robust and complementary flavor, we both agreed the vanilla coconut ice cream was the star between the two. Thank you again to the stellar crew at Mink! Happy New Year!“

The food was some of the best we’ve had in Detroit. We especially recommend the chips and side salsas, tlayuda, tetela, and enchiladas! We will definitely be returning.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Ran into this place the day before the marathon. Sat at the bar and got recommendations on what to get from the staff. Everything was fantastic. We ended up with calamari, scallops, gnudi, and trilece for dessert. This place was one of the best parts of our trip and we're excited to return. The only thing better than your food is your staff.“

“HORRIBLE. Don't waste your money here, they don't care *at all*. We ordered dinner, waited 10 minutes before a 20 minute drive to pick it up curbside. My partner called to say he arrived and they kept him on hold for 8 minutes until they came back and said they're waiting on biscuits. He waited even longer. I am sick and my meal was a simple coconut shrimp appetizer. Not complicated to pack up whatsoever along with his fish and chips and a salmon dinner for my friend (that the chef DOUSED with salt. I took a bite myself, it was basically inedible.). I then called to report these issues and they told me they're too busy (on a Monday night at 7pm well past any dinner rush lolol) to deal with me and they will call back "later... Like way later if you're even still awake" - verbatim from the hostess' mouth. 🙄 Didn't offer a replacement or a refund, just blatantly let me go without dinner and did ZERO to mend the situation. Absolutely asinine. We paid $70 for sh*tty fish and chips basically. 🤣 Save yourself the hassle and eat anywhere but here.“

“Fred's has established themselves as the fsh kings in me and my family eyes.

I really don't know or understand what's going on with the fish market these days, but the fish from other establishments I have frequented, are bad pieces of fish to sell to the market.

I won't name the establishment, but they serve fish for profits only. The quality of the fish is subpar at best .

Fred's has consistently served fresh flavorful fish, with choice pieces that were selected for satisfaction and to cure the hunger of their customers.

Way to go Fred...“

“Good food , goods service.“

“Food always good. Cash only.“

“The place is great! Food is pretty good, well presented and great taste, but the portions are very small for the price.
The service was excellent. Our server was great. Great atmosphere too. The only thing we didn't enjoy much was the fact that the music was way too loud for a restaurant. We could barely hear the person seating next to us.“

“the food is Fresh & tasty 🤤“

“I can’t say enough about our dining experience! This restaurant is on my TOP list here in Nashville and I will now frequent. Everything from start to finish was superb! Our waiter Sid was nothing g more than AMAZING and the manager was very nice and came by to say hello! The FOOOOOD was SO good it’s definitely worth it!!“

“I got their breakfast burrito & personally that’s one of the best I’ve had anywhere! The salsa they serve on the side is delightful & the server I had I believe her name was Katie, she made my husband & I feel very welcome as it was our first time & we weren’t sure what to get, she didn’t rush us into anything & even recommended a few items that she likes, the breakfast burrito being one of them which I can’t thank her enough for. I also love the look of the place the windows make it feel so open & when the suns out it’s a very pretty little cafe aesthetic to dine at. I didn’t rate 5* because even though the service & food was great their was a lot of commotion in the kitchen & even some yelling which just kind of makes the dining experience a bit awkward, wish they were more professional.“

“Amazing!!!!“

“We celebrated Valentine’s Day at Sibley Gardens. We had a great experience. Food and service was great. Would highly recommend the Steak Sammy and Surf and Turf.“

“Loved the food and drinks! The staff was so friendly“

“We had Candice as our waitress and she is phenomenal every bite of food was delicious and I must say the chicken soup was definitely homemade and divine we came for lunch and for two of us to eat it was very cheap considering the amount of food we got I'll be eating for 2 days on this lunch delicious delicious delicious“

“This food has always been my favorite place. I love the Cheesecake, plus the they have lobster on the menu now.“

“An absolute gem in Southwest Detroit! Went tonight with a party of six for my nephews birthday. Everyone raved about their meals. Hearty portions and reasonable prices! The service was 5⭐️.“

“The shrimp, okra, and jalapeno poppers were delicious. The fried green tomatoes were pretty tasteless and you only get 3 to an order. The fries were ok just plain. The red beans and rice were absolutely horrible and would not recommend ordering. I was expecting some different sauces as well. The ones they gave me were just ok.“

“I'm hooked love this place“

“gumbo is on point I'll be back“

“Best homemade food, very reasonably priced. The Walleye was bigger than the plate. Best chicken noodle soup and the breakfast meat lovers skillet was delicious“

“I highly recommend The Keg. The customer service was exceptional, the staff very attentive, and the food was wonderful. Carlie, our waitress, was a pleasure; she provided excellent service with a smile. I give it a 10/10 and will certainly return. The prime rib was my favorite dish.“

“Man, I've been wanting some good wings for a minute and I kept finding myself disappointed until coming here.

All I can say is they're doing it right here. The size of the full wings are great, the flavor is great and they're crispy, but not too crispy. They're not dry or over cooked either. The location might be considered a bit rough for some, but shit, I couldn't care less and you get great portions compared to some places.

(Also, for the owners, I do photography, so if you ever want some photos taken of your food/menu, let me know and we can set something up!)“

“The salad and chicken was amazing. So delicious and tender. Our server, Ali was friendly, polite, and awesome. They are a great example of what great food and service should be ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This food has always been my favorite place. I love the Cheesecake, plus the they have lobster on the menu now.“

“The food is pretty good but dang the prices really shot up from looking at the menu online. Yall need to update yall menu, it's deceiving. 5 whole wings/w fries went from $4.99-$8.99 Damn! That's a hike. I know things went up but yall killing us out here with the inflation. Check out my bill.. Thank God yall take food stamps. ??“

“Went for the first time yesterday. We were a large party (8) and everyone loved it. They were cool and did separate checks for us. Fantastic food, drinks and atmosphere. Fairly priced as well. Well done, Vicente’s! Only downfall was the $45 to park in the garage around the corner, but it’s downtown and parking gouging has become a thing. 😐“

“A very favorite restaurant!“

“The food is always fresh and delicious. The only issue is that the wait is always longer than anticipated. There is a service problem with the phone. When I try to call ahead I get an out of service message, but others can actually get through. This can lead potential customers to go elsewhere.“

“They are knowledgeable with their products. Perfect seasoning. Greats prices. Don't be intimidated by all the shouting. That's how the communicate and they are eager to help you make the right selection.“

“Best BBQ chicken ever! I would literally go here just for that. They also have great tacos! I highly recommend the pastor, carnitas and barbacoa tacos. It’s super small inside and not many seats so there can be a wait time. But it’s well worth it! This place is a little gem in Detroit. Oh and like others have said- the green sauce is delicious!“

“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“

“I recommend it because;
A restaurant that serves special dishes from the Arabian Peninsula, which includes meat/chicken and rice, cooked in multiple ways, mandi, haneeth, as well as broth, burma and many other dishes. The bread is served fresh. The service is fast and the taste is excellent. Prices are average for similar restaurants.
There is free parking. Payment can be made in several ways, in cash and by card.
