“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!“

“Best fish and chips around. A real treasure. Every one so polite and pleasant. Thank you“

“Had a wonderful experience! Great service from Kelly M, made sure I had everything I needed and was so friendly! Highly recommended.“

“the service was amazing.Food was prepared exactly how was ordered.“

“Fantastic restaurant in the heart of the city in a beautiful, historical building. Ostrea is a trendy, upscale hotspot with a NYC vibe with a creative menu that you cannot find anywhere else in SE Michigan. Dress up and get ready for a great experience“

“Sooooo good! Just had dinner tonight and can honestly say the food and service NEVER disappoints!“

“Mohamed Mohamed is one of the kind people and sweet I ever met and so talented I love that guy“

“Our waitress, Taylor B was phenomenal. Food was excellent as usual but she went above and beyond.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“First time here! Loved the atmosphere & vibe. Food & drinks were good although over-priced like everywhere these days. The BEST part of my experience was the friendliness of the staff! Sean, pictured here wasn’t even our main waiter but interacted with us, helped us out, & even gave us an extra cheers 🥂 before we headed to the Bruno Mara concert! Sean TY SOOOO MUCH!!! You made my night & gave me a forever wonderful memory! Shout out to our waiter Donovan too😁“

“Made Friday night reservations 2 weeks ahead for a table (you can sit at the bar too with reservations). Free parking literally right in front was a huge win for a busy evening. We were on time and waited just a few minutes, which actually worked out because the open kitchen smells and those flames totally pulled us in. Super warm, cozy vibe and the space looks just as good inside as it does from the outside. Once we sat down in the cozy chair/table setup, we kicked things off with drinks and ordered apps and mains all at once. Everything came out fast and hot. The mussels, beef tartare, and tuna tartare were all flavorful, and just really well done. The only letdown was the Pollo that looked great but really needed more seasoning (& onions lol) to match the rest of the menu. Service was friendly & fantastic. Overall, it was an awesome family night out and a spot we’d happily come back to. 5/5.“

“We had an amazing experience at Sunrise Coastal Grill and Chicken! The food was absolutely delicious, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The highlight for us was definitely the shawarmas—they were incredibly flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. You can really tell they put care into the quality of their food.

The overall vibe of the place was great, and the service was friendly and welcoming. We truly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend this spot if you’re craving some really good shawarmas!“

“Cool Establishment (though hot as hell in the lobby). Very pleasant customer service. I had the Chopped Cheese Fries, extra ranch & bacon. It was really good. I grew up in NJ/NY & chopped cheese sandwiches from the bodegas are a great memory for me, so this is a good spot to ease my nostalgia. I’ll be trying the Chopped Cheese sandwich next time.“

“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...“

“Townhouse continues to be one of Detroit’s standout dining experiences. The sushi is phenomenal—exceptionally fresh, with rice that’s perfectly seasoned and cooked just right, which makes all the difference. The ambiance is equally impressive, offering an upscale yet comfortable atmosphere that feels special without being pretentious.

If possible, request indoor seating facing Congress or Woodward Street. The views add another layer to the experience and make for great people-watching while you dine.

The price point is definitely on the higher end, but the quality, freshness, execution, and overall experience justify the cost. Simply put, the food and atmosphere deliver value that aligns well with the premium pricing.“

“We planned on trying a few other pasta spots for Valentine’s Day, but everything was booked solid. Ended up giving the new kid on the block, Oak & Reel, a shot—and I’m glad we did. The veal-stuffed ravioli was unreal. Do yourself a favor and save room for dessert—it’s non-negotiable. And the Banana Run cocktail? Dangerously good.“

“Food always good. Cash only.“

“Our meals and the atmosphere were perfect! Definitely coming back for another date night soon.“

“New menu was amazing. We had the potatoes, the scallops, burrata, and mushroom with shiitake dish. Burrata was hands down my favorite, thing. Perfect combination!! Highly recommend everything I got and the service was perfect, I mean like I finished my water and by the time my glass hit the table it was refilled. This was actually my second time, I’ve been before for a friends birthday and we had a different menu…..the pomegranate ribs were mouthwatering delicious. Not to mention the atmosphere inside, I personally love plants and that’s the first thing you notice when you walk in the door. Check it out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed!!“

“Good food , goods service.“

“I tried Vicente’s Cuban Restaurant in Detroit last weekend before a Tigers game and it did not disappoint! A lot of restaurants downtown were either closed or had long waits, so I decided to give Vicente’s a try and I’m glad I did. The staff was very friendly, the food came out quickly, and the Pan Con Bistec was amazing. Shoutout to our server Abraham for being so accommodating. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re downtown Detroit!“

“Came here for the first time & Sat down, the waitress did not come take or order, was wondering why No one came to take our Order & Everybody that’ came in after us they took there order. Come to find out the waitress had a problem wit my Daughter 2 yrs ago & refuse to take or order… her name is KAYLA I feel that she shouldn’t work wit the public if she gonna refuse to take someone order cause she have a problem wit them. That was very disrespectful & I pray something be done about this. Because I hate too see 20 pple come in & she refuse to take they order cause she have a problem wit someone. So please Can y’all fix that or you all will loose good customers“

“I recommend their food. It’s fantastic!! Great atmosphere! Great service. The owner is a great guy.“

“Food always good. Cash only.“

“excellent food excellent service great food.“

“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.“

“Enjoyed a great meal this evening with my sister-in-law. Consistently good food and even better service from Chelsea! From the moment we entered, from the host to the back waiter, to Chelsea we received exceptional service all the way around!“

“Detroit’s alive, the people talk too much, but I got business, Sibley Gardens. My rules. My favorite. Don’t test me.“

“I went here because my coworker told me about their Wednesday special for 1lb of Jumbo shrimp for $15. He told me I would not be disappointed in the size and taste of them. He was spot on, too. He shrimp were absolutely delicious and the price of them were great to match.“

“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⭐️.“

“Great food! Been here many times, and always have a good experience. However, they charged gratuity on a party of 4, so be careful. I tipped on top of their 16% added into my bill. Waitress of course didn’t mention the added cost and I didn’t notice until after the fact. Seemed odd for such a small party, but feel they should warn us while paying“

“This is one of the best Downriver pizza and Rib Shacks anywhere platters are delicious they're filling and they have everything you need like the rib platter or poo poo platter as they like to call it has ribs shrimp some chicken wings and couple of spring rolls delicious I'm getting a slab of ribs to share with friends it's amazing a little Saucy but extremely good and if you're doing a party get a couple of the big pizzas it's delicious“
