Unprofessional Bar Staff

by kg5678 at Citysearch

After visiting for the Final Four games, I will NEVER visit this Fishbone's again. I have visited the one in St. Clair Shores multiple times and loved everything, and expected the same from this one. However after a while of watching the game, the bartenders came over and said "Here's your tip" which we found out from someone else was that he thought we tipped $0.75 on a $40 bar tab. We never even had a bar tab! I paid cash for each round and tipped. This was very unprofessional and not acceptable in my book for how a bartender at a nice restaurant should act. Even if that had been true they wouldn't have deserved a tip, since a tip is earned. Then to top that off as we walked out the door to leave one of the other bartenders ran out after us and called us inappropriate names. We don't even know the reasoning behind their actions because he ran back inside and they all refused to talk with us. Which means they know that we did nothing wrong in reality since they wouldn't discuss their issues with us. Wouldn't go back if you paid me unless those bartenders were fired.

• Pros: Good location
• Cons: Very disrespectful bar staff

Down hill.. not like it used to be.

by VguptaIsGay at Citysearch

This place has gone WAY WAY down hill from its former glory days years ago. Service was terrible, the food was bland, and sloppy, and those fun plates of various hot sauces.. all gone.. I would never go back, and our entire party left with thoughts of "thats it?" and "that was terrible".

Avoid.. its not the Fishbone's it used to be.

• Pros: Location is good
• Cons: Food was bland, prices high, service SLOW

Highly recommended!!!

Great meal and kid friendly

by NoahStein2008 at Citysearch

I've been there two times over the past year and both times it was better than average. n Thursday night, I went with my family. Although it wasn't packed with kids it was most certainly 'kid friendly'. Very reasonably priced kid's menu. As for my meal, Ahi tuna, it was prepared perfectly(rare) and was of very high quality. Overall it was an enjoyable dining experience and I will definitely go back again.

Guilty pleasure

by WillYun at Citysearch

After sampling our Catfish Atchafalaya and our lemonades, we felt the quality matched the price. We were seated very quickly, and were able to get in and out in plenty of time to catch our movie. We were especially amused by the HUGE jumbo shrimp, and tickled to see how well it tasted! I highly recommend this eatery.

Fun restaurant for a night out...

by jilson at Citysearch

...but the food was just fair. The place was PACKED (altho it was a Saturday night), and we had reservations. But they couldn't find them initially, and we had to wait for the entire party (13 of us), and when the entire party arrived we had to wait an additional 15 minutes.

Our waitress was good, and our food was also good. Many of us ordered fish dishes , and I must say the sushi rolls were just fair (Sushi House in Farmington is the best!) Overall it was a good dining experience, I would recommend going on a different night than Saturday.

• Pros: fun for a night out, good food
• Cons: BUSY, long wait

Incredible Customer Service, best place to eat in Detroit

by mj11113 at Citysearch

Me and my wife went downtown on 8/20/07 and it was incredibly busy. We made reservations and were escorted to our seats as soon as we walked in. There was also a wait to be seated for patrons that just had walked in.

Our server (I believe her name was Lindsey) was incredible jovial and informed us on everything we've asked and even suggested the soup of the day which was outstanding. We were extremely impressed with the customer service, because even though it was busy, our dinner was seamless. We ordered three courses, and literally, our entree was at our table minutes after our salads were cleared. Same with desert. I mean the servers there are really on top of their game. I checked out the sushi bar before our appetizers were delivered and I spoke with another server about the selection. He was informative and definitely had full knowledge of what he was talking about (I know because I run a sushi restaraunt). Lindsey was definitely one of the nicest servers I've ever seen, and it seemed effortless to her because she had 4 other tables and was extremely busy the entire night.

The decor was beautiful, especially the waterfall and enourmous fishtank. The food is just amazing. You really can't go wrong with anything. My wife got the Shrimp Creole and I ate the Filet. The were cooked to perfection. This is definitely the best place to eat downtown. The service, food, atmosphere are all incredible. Definitely a 5 star place to eat.

• Pros: Amazing customer service, Delcious food, gorgeous decor, fun atmosphere
• Cons: None. This place is outstanding.

To Whom it may Concern,

We booked reservations at "THEY SAY" restaurant

on approx. July 16th for a party of ten.

On July 28th we called back and confirmed and increased our head count to 16.

We arrived for our 4:30 reservation at 4:10. And was informed that there was no reservation for us.

Our party of 16 was informed that we could be served on the patio, which was in the sweltering sun.

We were given no sensible excuse for the restaurants cancellation ,and was left to find other accommodations without any notice , with 16 people in tow.

The planned celebration was for our son, who is in the Air Force and is being deployed overseas.

The entire experience was disrespectful to say the least.

And just basically BAD BUSINESS.

• Pros: Sundays are cool
• Cons: unsure at this time

Please Beware, Poor Service and Very Unsanitary

by jessica1201 at Citysearch

My husband and I are Tiger Season Ticket holders and because of the resturant's great location we frequent this place quite a bit. However, twice we have had terrible experiences with the poor staff work ethics. Our latest experience was on 4/21/07 when my husband and I placed ourselves at the bar side closest to the water fall. I ordered a glass of water and a slice of cheese cake with strawberry dressing. After thirty minutes I asked the bartender (Cherry) if she could cancel our order. She replied that she would and that she apologized for the wait. I proceeded to watch the Red wings game on the tv and sip my water. As I was nearing the end of the glass I couldn't help but notice an orange white ring of film lining the inside of my glass, which made it apparent the glass had never been cleaned. I was baffled at that point I was thinking (Hep C, or food sickness). My husband said that's it and asked for the manager. The bartender went to get him and then returned walking over to her friends located to the right of me at the bar, whom she had been serving free drinks to all night. She proceeded to say so that I could clearly hear her, "I don't care what they think, and my manager won't either, laughing it off." Twenty minutes later the manager arrived (Tom) and as the bartender expressed to her friends, he didn't act as if he cared at all about the situation. His excat words were, "I am sorry but sometimes we make mistakes also, I mean sir what do you want me to do about this." I

have contacted the Detroit Sanitary Division and filed a complaint. I am thus far happy that I haven't gotten sick. Please beware. This resturant is way overated and has lost all concept of customer appreciation. They have become so arrogant about their ways that they can put a dirty plate/cup/silverware down in front of you and could care less about your safety.

• Pros: great location
• Cons: poor service, especially managers, very unsanitary
