We went to Fishbone's today for lunch and we're expecting a good meal given some things we've heard and reviews we've read. We were so thoroughly disappointed with the food that it moved us to write our first restaurant review ever.
The meal started off with their bread and herbed butter. This was actually the only thing that we did enjoy because the butter had some nice flavor to it.
We...
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 ...

I came here for cocktails but i ended up havin dinner-i had the shrimp appetizer-so good-my entree was good-worth the money
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.
We visited fishbones for my birthday. Our server was great, none of this rude stuff the others spoke of!!!
We had great drinks! Hurricanes! Great Food (bbq shrimp appetizer- TO DIE FOR) Excellent food!!! And our service was great, never an empty glass, never an overused ash tray!
Highly recommended!!!
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 ...
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.
...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 we...
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 ...
Thank You Fishbones - for accomodating us and adverting a disaster
Everyone enjoyed the food and service

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 i...
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 strawbe...
This is a great Detroit Restaurant that is attached to the Greektown Casino. Specializing in seafood, they have a huge sushi menu, along with wonderful shrimp and fish items and sandwiches as well. We had a great waitress and a good experience, would recommend highly.
I have been to Fishbones several time. I definately like the downtown Detroit location better than their other locations. If you like cajun, this is a pretty decent place to get cajun food. I love their popcorn alligator...it's so good. Overall, I think the food is good.
A great mix of cujun spices and atmosphere. Always a top pick with me and my sweetheart, it's just a 2 min walk to one of Detroits Casinos and lots of hoppin clubs and bars. Prices are reasonable but sometimes there is a long wait and service can be a little sluggish. But if your in no huury and just want to go out for a great night on the town I highly reccommend Fishbones in Detroit.
Too many things are going on downtown and service pays for it. Fishbones has food potential but our server had the worse attitude-and everyone at the table knew it. She explained she had to work after the baseball game which was after 11 that night. After putting up with her slamming our plates down with hot food, lying to us about when the sushi bar closes, and nasty facial expression-I had enou...
This place is very good. Its in the greektown area.It has a very good staff but it takes a little while for your food to arrive cause its usually pretty busy there. A great selection of food to choose from and the atmosphere is incredible. If you dont like to wait then dont go here. Walk to one of the other restaurants in the area.
This is a very nice place to eat when visiting Greektown downtown.
Service is slow so dont be in a rush if that is where you are going to eat but the food is great.
A little bit of everything, prices are not too high.
I LOVE Fishbones... probably my favorite restaurant in Detroit. Great sushi! Horrible waitstaff.
Now this is a good place to eat! I have been there several times and have always been pleased. The food is more than great! Our latest trip was for our daughters 19th birthday in Dec., but I can't wait to go back. The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing. Parking is easy
this restaurant is hip, kool and has a very good vibe. the staff is friendly, service is excellent and the good is GOOD. Big Portions at an afforadable price. Good place for parties or corporate events.
Make sure to try the seafood stuffed mushrooms. Served in whitesauce, these are the tastiest appetizers I have EVER had! Also, the Blackened Catfish and Crabcakes are EXCELLENT!
For a fun night out, combine dinner at Fishbones and a walk across the street to Greektown Casino!
While the seating was prompt and the ambience is quite nice too, the food is absolutely worthless. The menu is pricey and I was under the assumption that the entrees would be generously served as the prices were around the $18 to $20 range. This was my second visit to Fishbones and this time with my wife and both of were very disappointed.
The servings were shockingly little and the food was n...
My date and I went there last week. the seating was fast and the service was excelent. We had a waitor named Santiago, he was a awesome server on top of things all night long. even after we finished our meal he was still serving us up to twenty minutes later. i left him a almost $20 tip which doesnt happen to often with me. Over all great place to eat, excelent steak.
Fishbone's has the best cajun food in Detroit. Their shrimp are mouth watering. They are very large and just the right amount of spice to it. Also the french rolls that they give you with the gralic butter is to die for. I would recommend this restuarant to anyone who comes for a visit to my city.
I paid $17.95 for an incredibly boring meal. I was expecting cajun food with the appropriate flavoring; instead I was treated to extremely boring pasta dish (not bad, just boring) and a very uninspiring appetizer. As it is connected to a very nice hotel I expected so much more.
The best in Greektown. Diners have a common goal; i.e., to enjoy the best in fish and seafood.
Excellent peach cobbler!!! My fiance and I travel Downtown from Westland just taste this lovely dish. The service is always friendly and helpful. If you are visiting Detroit, you must stop in... at least for desert.
Wonderful breakfast buffet or ala carte breakfast menu!
In conjuction with the Athenaen Hotel, this was by far my favorite place in the US to travel and stay for business or pleasure.
Great Food!
Wonderful Service
Great Ambiance
Great Coffee!
