We hosted a baby shower at The Bistro at the River and it was absolutely outstanding. From the moment we booked, the entire experience was smooth, warm, and so easy to navigate.

The staff were incredible… attentive, kind, and genuinely invested in making sure everything went perfectly. The space itself is beautiful and created the perfect atmosphere for our event.

And the food… phenomenal. Guests are still talking about how delicious everything...

We had our wedding here at the end of May and it was perfect! The food was excellent, staff was amazing and you can’t beat that Detroit skyline for beautiful photos! Venue is perfect got 50 guests or less and ideal if you have a cross border family since it’s so close to the tunnel!

Great location right along the waterfront with amazing views of the Detroit River and skyline, but honestly, this place feels like a bit of a tourist trap. Service was great, and the bartender knows how to make a killer Long Island Iced Tea, but the food was a letdown, my burger was bland, and the bun tasted stale. Worth a visit for drinks and the scenery, but don’t expect much from the menu.
