Detroit Fish House: Steak and Oyster Bar

Outstanding! We had the Tower for our appetizer, it was delicious! The warm rolls were so good as well. We literally loved everything from the clam chowder and salads and cole slaw to our various entrees of salmon, scallops and two kind of shrimp. We also had a cookie sundae and key lime pie for dessert...yum! April was our server and she was amazing, so kind and attentive. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who would like an elevated yet not pretentious experience and meal...five stars!

We had an absolutely phenomenal experience at Detroit Fish House tonight for our Father’s Day dinner. From the moment we walked in, the warmth and hospitality were unmatched. Owners Cheryl and Jeff have created something truly special, a perfect blend of upscale dining with a welcoming, family-owned feel. Our server, Kelsey, was outstanding. Her attentiveness, kindness, and knowledge of the menu elevated the entire evening. She made us feel like VIPs and added a personal touch that made the celebration unforgettable. The food was incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with fresh flavor. The oysters were impeccably fresh, and the steak was cooked to perfection. If you’re looking for a restaurant that checks every box, ambiance, service, and food, Detroit Fish House is it.

Amazing food and extremely fresh. Great atmosphere and everyone is so friendly, everything was extremely clean and had great service. The prices are very good as well, got a lobster roll and it had more than 4 lobsters worth on the roll. Couldn’t go wrong when coming here!!

We had such an amazing time here! The drinks were great and the food was awesome. The server April was very nice and accommodating! Make sure to make reservations.

Bravo, Bravo, What a delightful experience. Starting with a very warm welcome from the Host. To the very expansive menu that will delight any appetite or thirst. The atmosphere is expertly designed with a very positive vibe. Our Waiter Kyle made our first time dining experience a pleasure. Fresh baked bread and delicious coleslaw preempted our fish & chips. The fish was plentiful, freshly battered and done to a crispy perfection. Could very well become habit forming. 👍👍

Omg, I stayed for almost 4 hours! It was such a great experience; from the awesome welcome the moment we walked through the door - even through a shift change, as we managed to linger into dinner and everyone on staff was so friendly! The food was amazing, atmosphere inviting…I couldn’t have been happier on my birthday!

We visited Detroit Fish House with some friends. It was the first visit for all 6 of us. Cocktails were nice. We ordered 4 or 5 appetizers. The crab cakes were my favorite. The egg rolls were very basic. The fish pate was pretty good too. The clam chowder was my least favorite item. It was very thick and lacked flavor. The coleslaw was awesome. I really liked the horseradish flavor. My tuna entree was pretty good. The presentation was a little gimmicky but overall tasty. Service was good. Overall we liked the restaurant. It seemed overpriced but not a deal breaker. I look forward to visiting again.

The Crab Cakes were top notch. Paul was an excellent server. We'll be back

Came here for my partner's birthday dinner and am seriously impressed by both the service and the food. Had a great experience from the beginning to the end! We were greeted by the host warmly and she quickly seated us. We had a great server who checked in on us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. He was definitely attentive without being overboard. The atmosphere was truly lovely, am so proud to have picked this restaurant to celebrate my partner's birthday and he loved the experience as well. As for the food we started off with some appetizers. We went with the crab cakes and oysters. Fresh tasting oysters and the crab cake was full of flavors. I ordered the Grilled Maine Lobster Tail and my partner ordered the Papa Bear's Steamer Bowl. Both were tasty but if you're debating between the two, I would recommend the Steamer Bowl. More variety and actually a surprisingly good amount of food for what you pay for. Price was a bit hefty to be honest, but the quality of the food was top notch. Maybe not a frequent sort of restaurant for us but definitely a great place for date nights or celebrations.

I must say the food, service and ambiance was awesome. Every meal and moment was worth it. They take there dime to allow you to enjoy each course. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

The bar service was incredible. This is only my second time here, but I know that I love this place. I'm sad hat it has taken me this long to truly discover it. I had the halibut tonight, it was good, but not as good as the arctic char.

This place is shadey in the pricing and upcharges for things like the bread...supposed to be free but people in my party were somehow charged for it. 78$ and we had an app and 2 drinks it took 2.5 hours before we were able to leave and barely busy...14 people in the party and none were happy with the wait times on the food...and then when the food did arrive it wasn't hot...I couldn't believe they didn't even apologize for the wait...half hour went by and waitress was non existent...put a for sale sign out front

I went to Detroit Fish House for my birthday which fell in a Wednesday. Reservations were made however, they weren't necessary as there weren't too many patrons there. We opted to sit at the bar and take advantage of the happy hour which was pretty good. I had the spinach artichoke dip and the lemon drop martini which was made very well. My boyfriend had the smelt which tasted fresh and well seasoned. For our entrees I had the crab stuffed shrimp which was delicious. I wasn't too thrilled about the rice pilaf though. My boyfriend had the steak and mashed potatoes which he thoroughly enjoyed. The pricing isn't that of a chain restaurant so be prepared. Either way, I would visit again.

I had an amazing dinner here! I went here for dinner after graduation and it was the service wonderful! Paul was our waiter he was nice, funny, and knowledgeable of the entire menu. He had plenty of suggestions being that it was my first time there. The key lime pie was . I'm my opinion. It was quiet, clean and all the staff greeted us when we arrived. I cannot wait to come back and try more items on the menu.

The drinks are always incredible. They have a selection of olives worthy of Detroit. I love their calamari, but I usually get it put on a bed of lettuce and it's even better. You better have your patience because it always seems to take a little while longer than I expect

Every dish was excellent! The server and chef listened to what we wanted and delivered. I had the special, halibut poached to perfection. The lobster ravioli was wonderful. The bread was delicious. The Caesar salad had a beautiful balance of cheese, lemon and anchovies smashed until undetectable with your eyes but explosive with flavor. Our server Kyle was on time, relevant and professional. And my date says he was cute too.

25 Minutes for our initial cocktail . Food was Excellent, service was decent.... The bar service was weak throughout our meal. Sad, because the Chef knocked it out of the park!!

I'm sharing my previous experience with the "It's All About Shrimp" wine tasting dinner at the Detroit Fish House Steak & Oyster Bar in Shelby Township, MI. my review is honest and is my opinion. While it was not the top notch experience expected, I still wanted to share. The Good. We had a great time chatting it up with our tablemates. The wine list included 2 whites, 1 rose, and 1 red. Finishing with a wine cocktail. Good variety and they all paired pretty well with the dishes. The Meh. I wasn't provided large pours or wine top offs, but many did received them (I noticed this happing during the entire dinner). While the food plating was beautiful some of the dishes lacked seasoning and were served at room temp. Compared to other experiences, the price tag was a little high for the quality and quantity. Watch my Instagram Reel featuring the experience. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CqdnkyMjpyE/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== #winetasting #foodandwinepairings #metrodetroit #Michigan #winelover #restaurantreview #metrodetroitfood

The place has an open feel and not crowded. The service is spot on. Our waitress was attentive to our every need. Cocktails and food were good with respectable pricing. Their menu is complete to satisfy your seafood, carnivore desires but not to large that it takes 1/2 hour just to figure it out. I will go back for sure.

The food was too expensive. It started with oyster Rockafeller and they were sour and had to send them back. The lobster bisque.soup had no taste. The seafood chowder was extremely salty. The king crab legs at market price were to expensive for just crab legs that were tiny for two clusters. I ordered the crab stuffed shrimp. Just four shrimp with a small amount of crab for $36 bucks. This was our first time with 12 of use and is our last time. I will say the service was excellent! Unfortunately not the food.

Thai shrimp with basil and rice soup is perfect. I love the ambiance of this upscale seafood restaurant. Friendly service and great food. I will be back soon for sure.

Boyfriend made reservations for my birthday and DFH exceeded our expectations. Ambiance: Intimate dining environment. Very clean. There were parties dressed a little more formal and there were also others dressed very casual in hoodies and jeans. Food: Started with the Seafood Beignets as an appetizer which was a solid choice! Round balls that are fried on the outside and filled with a mixture of lobster and crab over a delicious pesto aioli sauce. For entrees, we got the popular Papa Bear Steamer Bowl and Chilean Sea Bass. Everything was presented beautifully and the ingredients and seafood tasted so fresh. All entrees come with a salad, soup or cole slaw. We got the lobster bisque which was creamy with wonderful chunks of lobster and the Soup du Jour which was full of flavor with yummy pieces of potato and sausage. For dessert we got the key lime pie to go which was decadent. Service: Our server was attentive and pleasant. Everyone we encountered was very nice and welcoming. This is one of my new fave places to go in this area when craving seafood!

Service and ambiance were great. The food however, was subpar. Ordered the appetizer sampler which was ok but not worth $40. I ordered the sautéed perch. The breading was mushy and bland. The worst perch I have ever had. The so called beurre blanc sauce was overly sweet and inedible. My husband ordered the lobster ravioli. The pasta was overcooked and the filling contained very little lobster. The sauce was definitely not like any palomino sauce I have tasted. If you are a foodie and looking for a fine dining experience with food worthy of the price then this is not the restaurant for you.

Have not been here in a while!!! Brought some out of town guests there for the first time! Sorry did not snap photos!! Everyone had something different, couple of appetizers, couple glasses of wine and an amazing server!! Food was amazing, I had sea bass, lobster was had check, Brie on point!!!! And April our server was outstanding! Professional, knowledgeable, caring!!! Loved the atmosphere! Thank you April for a memorable experience!!

Awesome seafood, diverse menu and great service. I wish portions were a bit bigger but other than that it is one of our favorites. While I wouldn't recommend for children, it's perfect for date

Made a reservation to celebrate my 60th. Ordered a strawberry basil maragarita. Came 45 minutes later and tasted sour water with no strawberry or basil flavor. No bread basket or water or appetizer for 1 hour. The place was empty. Something is seriously wrong there. Menu looks great. Service sucks.

We haven't been there in a few months we used to be regulars once or twice a week but now they raised their pricing big time and the food has gone down hill Jp 10/2/24

First time here for lunch, food was outstanding, sautéed lake perch,,my sister had a 6 oz. Fillet and sea scallops everything cooked perfectly. Kudos to the Chefs! Nice relaxed ambiance, no big screen TVs all over. And not to forget the awesome service we had from Will, he was well versed in our food and drink choices, very attentive, kind, and cute! We'll be back!

It was one of those days that I just didn't want to go home and be a responsible adult. So I chose to stop and have a quick drink. I have been wanting to come here for quite some time. It's rather close to my house. I was having trouble finding someone to come with me so I finally decided to go alone. I didn't eat. I just stopped in for a drink. I loved the environment. I felt comfortable. I sat at the bar and chatted with the other patrons. I had my drink and got to look over the menu. I will be back to try some of the food when I'm not dieting. Haha. Who am I kidding? I'm always dieting! Anyway, I may stop in for lunch one day soon.

Food was very tasty; Faroe Island Salmon, Salmon Rockefeller, and Crab stuffed Shrimp. Appetizers of Fried Smelt and Ahi Tuna were disappointing especially the dry smelt. Wagyu Iron Steak was nothing to brag about, and not worth $42. Lunch portions and prices better. All in all, nothing outstanding for those prices. Service was excellent. Ambiance pleasant. Done, no return!

Waitstaff was okay. The calamari was displayed nicely but was incredibly chewy. My wife ordered the Faroe salmon and was mildly pleased. I ordered the 6 oz filet and it was a tough and chewy cut also. Sides where good. All in all way overpriced and the whole experience took about an hour and a half. We will not be back.

Had dinner at Detroit fish house in a Thursday night and the food was horrible. I ordered the perch special sauteed and it was cooked to texture of beef jerky. Vodka martini tasted like water, not vodka. The place had very few people eating there, yet our waitress was no where to be found. Food took forever to get and then it was horrible. Warm, not hot. This place will probably be out of business soon.

My husband and I went here for our anniversary dinner on 8-17-24, after a difficult few years. We needed something nice. The whole experience was amazing! We were given a free glass of champagne each "just because" it was our anniversary. (They knew because they asked when we booked if we were celebrating anything. Smart business!) Wonderful touch for customers and set things off to a wonderful start. (Don't know if it was expensive champagne or not, although we have had our fair share. But it was tasty!) The place has a very elegant, hygge vibe with natural woods, dark accents and just the right amount of space between tables. Not crowding customers in so you can hear every single thing the next table is saying, and barely hearing yourselves. Pretty candles on the table...just elegant simplicity. Two things, though, were the star of the show: the food, and the service. My husband and I each have a food sensitivity, which can make service for dining out a negative experience. (We've gotten the tense looks, eye rolls they thing we can't see, and so on.) First, the service: Jenny. That's all I can say. If you go to DFH, try to get her section. She was so patient and kind working through our food restrictions, and even worked with the chef to remove a spice that was standard on the special but would have made my husband sick. She consistently checked on our comfort, but without being obtrusive. Friendly, super professional, always on her game throughout the whole meal and with multiple tables. Truly five star service! Second: The food. This place knows how to do seafood...easily on par with a Krus and Muer. I'm a lobster tail fan, and it was perfect. Juicy and cooked just perfect. My Papa Bear Steamer bowl was absolutely delicious. My husband had a fish special (can't remember the name of the fish), but it the chef adjusted it beautifully spice-wise to maintain the integrity of the idea of the dish, without sacrificing any flavor. Kudos to the chef! We've been to places where the chef is either irritating at making accommodations, or simply strips the flavor while making the accommodation. Not here! Talent abounds. Obviously, I can't speak for others' experiences here, but we are most definitely making Detroit Fish House, and Jenny, part of our regular dinner-out schedule.

My husband and I tried their happy hour oysters after we had the seafood tower on a previous night. One of the oysters had a live worm attached to the shell. We never seen anything like this before. We brought it to the attention of the staff and looked it up online. Seems that the worms usually feed from the oyster while they are alive and are supposed to be harmless. I am still not sure what kind of worm it was. The ones I found online were smaller. However, if you are at a restaurant being served oysters that is definitely something that should not have been there. The staff acted like it was normal and we even got charged for the oyster we did not consume since it had the worm. I am definitely disappointed that this restaurant thinks that serving a live worm in your food is normal.

Let me just start by saying we arrived at around 535pm for a 6pm reservation for my wife's birthday. Seated about 555pm and finally got to leave at 825pm. Nice looking place. Appeared clean. We were seated in the bar area at some high tops. One thing that was odd, is that minors were seated with their parents at the bar. I was always taught that this is a huge no-no. They were whooping it up pretty good. Some vulgar language did pop up. Kind of a pub-like atmosphere. One of the two bartenders came out to greet us. There was an 8-10 party, a 3 party and our 4 party on top of a full bar and dining room. It proved to be challenging for them. Drinks, appetizers, water refills, bread, salads, and entrees took forever. I noted that the manager was out helping with the 8-10 party. When they finally left, he helped turn their table over and then he sort of faded away. The bartender's were stretched pretty thin and the manager didn't really take notice of us or do his rounds with us. While we sat, the music did stop and it was awkwardly quiet. As we sat and continued to wait, the other bartender came over to ask if she could do anything else for us. I said, our food would be great. She asked what we were waiting for. I said our entrees. I felt she thought we were lingering after our meal. Once everyone realized that we had been there for 2 hours, things started happening. The manager did come over and apologize. He did pay for our appetizer. Which was appreciated. When the entrees did arrive, they were fabulous, they were perfect. Actually it was really impressive. You should definitely eat here but carve out a significant amount of time. We noticed that the other parties seemed to be there a while as well. The atmosphere from the bar and the slow service did not match the $300 we spent on 4 people to eat. They stated they were short staffed. Never say this to your customer. The bartenders never stopped moving. They felt terrible but I made sure they knew that I could see that they were working hard. The hostess and the bus person could have assisted with water refills and clearing dishes during our service. The manager could have done rounds and had a better feel for what was going on. Was tonight an anomaly? Maybe. There was just not a lot happening to support the bartenders. Kind of tells me this could be the norm. I would give them another try because the food is really good. The frustration and disappointment cast a shadow on their high quality product for me.

This being one of the more upscale restaurants in our area, I decided to take my wife here for her birthday. I was concerned having heard mixed reviews, but we wanted to form our own opinions. The ambiance is very nice, upscale but not snobby. We ordered steak and Alaskan King crab legs. The steak was perfect, the crab was delicious. All the food was what you might expect of a fine restaurant. My only knock on it was the service. I expect more when I pay more. We were seated for a while before our server greeted us. The bar was a bit slow, and my wine glass was empty for a while before my server noticed. The empty plates weren't cleared right away. In fact the manager picked them up as she was checking on the customers in the dining room. So food=great, ambiance=sweet, service=room for improvement.

Dawn! Dawn! Dawn! We just came home from another amazing experience, spearheaded by our server, Dawn! DFS never disappoints with phenomenal food and exceptional service! As always, the entire staff, from the hostess (I didn't get her name), our server Dawn, and the manager (I didn't get his name) were friendly and exceeded expectations!!! The unsung heroes are always the kitchen staff!!! I know they don't t get the FaceTime with the customers but are at the heart of the experience! THANK YOU ALL for another amazing night out with my family! I'll most definitely be back again and again and again!!!

Went to Detroit Fish House on 11/2/2024 with another couple who picked this place to meet up. Went there once before during Covid and ate in one of the igloos they had at the time. Can't remember what we had, so was probably something so-so. My wife and one of our friend's ordered the perch - which they said was barely okay, so you would think that for $36 it would be fantastic. Nope. I ordered what I was told was blackened whitefish which actually turned out to be blackened swordfish. All I could taste was spice and I was hoping for a mild fish that I could actually taste. Had rice pilaf scooped into a 1/2 red bell pepper that only tasted like the bell pepper. Was pretty disappointed especially with the $46 price to go with it. Lastly the 4th person had fish and chips which didn't look any different from any other fish and chips, except that it cost somewhere around $30. Dinners come with either coleslaw or soup (which was cauliflower bacon this night) and the waitress told us not to get it since it didn't taste like anything. She mentioned we could upgrade to a salad, clam chowder, or lobster bisque and we all upgraded to the salad at a cost of $5 each. Made us wonder if this was a marketing scheme to get us to spend more - guess we won't know since we didn't have the included side. I think this place may have potential, but I know I can get a way better meal elsewhere for less than what we paid here. $114.00 (minus tip) for two of us (wife had 2 glasses of wine, me - water), so not in any hurry to ever come back.

Great food service was good energetic atmosphere The wine list is diverse as well as the food menu.

Came for lunch on a Wednesday. Beautiful interior and comfortable seating. We had a fabulous waiter and the manager came by a couple of times to check on us. The bread for the table was warm and delicious. We ordered 3 different glasses of wine. One was not very good and we were able to send it back and order a different one which was much better. We ordered 3 different soups - all good. Our meals were the shrimp platter (fried) - large shrimp but just served with fries for $19. The lobster roll was sparse and served with undercooked asparagus for $19. The other meal was a salad with salmon - impressive piece of salmon but $26 is overpriced. These are lunch prices. We were celebrating a birthday and ordered a piece of key lime pie with a nice presentation of a candle and chocolate piece with happy birthday written on it (this is not complimentary). It was delicious though. Some people seem to really like it here but I think the food could be improved and prices lowered.

Love the white fish when they have it on the daily special last time I had it great flavor cooked to perfection . Today we ordered red snapper. I could smell it had absolutely no taste was extremely bland. Loved the lobster bisque soup I waitress Jen was extremely professional, efficient, friendly and a huge thank you for her service. Fish was extremely disappointing.

This place had been on my foodie bucket list for awhile when I needed to make reservations somewhere for Christmas Eve dinner. I was thinking about Joe Muer because of it being Christmas - but DFH had openings, was conveniently located for everyone, and I'd been wanting to try it - so I booked a reservation. Big mistake. I spent what I would have at Muers, but the food quality and service were not even close to being as good as Muers. We started with lobster bisque. I don't know what kind of bland, thick tomato soup base was used in this abomination, but it was unlike any lobster bisque I've ever had. It was overly salty, barely contained any lobster, and whatever that white cream stuff was on top didn't do it any favors. My son even said to me "I hope this isn't a foreboding of the rest of the meal." Unfortunately, it was. I didn't even finish the soup. Calamari was weak, uninspired, and nothing special. And again, too salty. I had the scallops entree - four little scallops? That's it? And again, everything was TOO SALTY. My son's steak looked amazing, and was perfectly cooked - but again, the heavy salt-shaker made it less than great. The only thing that wasn't over-salted was the creme brulee. This was the one thing they got right, it was excellent. Total for myself and two sons (including tip): $250 I don't mind spending that much on a top-notch meal, but this? I wasted my money. Never again.

We decided to do our valentines dinner date the day after this year to avoid the rush and take advantage of DFH's happy hour. I had been to DFH once before for a friends bridal shower and enjoyed the food so I suggested to my partner we try it out for our v day date night (he had never been there before). I got the Thursday daily special of Maine lobster tail and a half dozen of the happy hour oysters. The special came with warm bread, and soup (I chose the butternut squash which was sooo good, but you could also upgrade to a few other options), and he got the Scottish salmon with lobster bisque (which he loved). Everything was amazing, and I'm still scratching my head that I had lobster tail with rice, veg, soup, bread, and a half dozen oysters for around 35 bucks and that everything was actually really good. Note that price was b/c of taking advantage of the daily special and happy hour prices. Our server was also amazing. She was kind, attentive, and checked in regularly to ensure we had everything we needed or wanted. I would definitely recommend going during their happy hour as drinks and food options are super fair for what you get.

As always wonderful meal and service exceptional as always. Thank you David our server who was excellent in serving us a delightful evening!!!

Excellent service , fresh hot bread with warm whipped butter. Homemade Cajun soup with collard greens was extremely flavorful. The Fish and Chips was freshly made , with light airy breading. Definitely is a good spot for date or a special occasion. Will definitely return.

I came here earlier today for the happy hour oysters with a friend and we both got food poisoning later in the evening. I know this is TMI but I want everyone to know how severe it was, my friend ended up throwing up quite a bit. I called to let the restaurant know about it, spoke to the manager who was a female, and didn't quite catch her name. She was quite rude and argumentative apologizing with a huge bad attitude and not only told me food poisoning doesn't take effect till 24 hours later but had the audacity to say it could be the flu in a snippy tone of voice. A quick Google search will tell you food poisoning usually takes about 6 hours and obviously varies from person to person. I didn't appreciate them not taking responsibility for their bad oysters, so definitely never coming here again, never recommending again.

We have been here once a month for the last few months. The food is usually pretty good. Fresh fish. The service is good, but the prices seem to be increasing every time we make a reservation. I would not consider this a "fine dining" restaurant, but their meals are getting too expensive for the atmosphere and location. Won' be back.

We came here during happy hour on a Tuesday and wow! The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered oysters, mussels, cocktail shrimp, Jamaican fish, a caesar and a house salad with beef tips and everything was so fresh and delicious. Our drinks were very good too. The waitress was so kind and attentive and so were the individuals who brought the food out to us. The environment was very relaxing and we really enjoyed our time.

They require a credit card to book a reservation here over the phone, so they can charge your card $25 if you don't show up. Really? I don't ever make it a habit or practice to give my card to anyone over the phone. I her she's doing what she was told, but that's so ridiculous. It's not that I wouldn't show up, we were heading there, it's the principal of this practice I am not okay with at all. Poorly done.

This is a fantastic restaurant whether you're celebrating something or just looking for a casual weeknight meal. The restaurant is very clean, does not smell fishy at all. The food is super fresh and flavorful. The raw oyster appetizer is incredible-briny and light. You get an array of flavored oils you can squeeze on top for a pop of flavor or just stick with the classic cocktail and lemon. Mama Bear's steamer bowl is great. Huge king crab plus mussels, shrimp, corn, and potatoes. Very filling and flavorful! The lobster beignets are delicious, basically a hush puppy kicked up. The sauce their served with is very herby and compliments the fried beignets well. For sure don't skip dessert, the bread pudding is out of this world! My family loves coming back here.

My husband and I had thee most amazing time here! We made our reservation on Open Table and had an amazing anniversary dinner. From start to finish they did not disappoint. We had Tiffany for a waitress and she was top tier. Our food came out hot and delicious. Later we met the manager, DJ who came by to see if we enjoyed everything. She was super cool and professional. I enjoyed everything so much I booked my birthday dinner before I left. This is what we ordered: My husband had a salad and then the Louisiana Linguini I had Lobster Bisque and the crab cakes We shared lobster macaroni and cheese. I highly recommend

Made a reservation for 7:00 pm. Waited for 15 minutes. A very loud and obnoxious party of 20 came in after us and was seated before us. When I asked for management, she was VERY rude and made snide comments. Sorry. Your table is not available. Do you want me to kick them out? So in other words, we have to wait for only ONE table and not first available? What poor business practice! That manager needs to be fired! I planned on celebrating my birthday and now it is ruined!

I recently had dinner at Detroit Fish House and the experience was great. The staff was very friendly and the service was fast. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere. When you walk in there's a bar with some tables and high top seating, then over to the right there was more private dining. We ordered the seafood platter which was great! I wanted to order more items but the seafood platter was filling for the 2 of us but of course left room for dessert. The creme brûlée was good but the white chocolate moose was definitely my favorite!

Great seafood place! Friendly staff with a nice variety in the menu. Always have a great meal there .

I have to be honest. I have sat on this review for three days until making it. I asked other friends whether or not I should call the restaurant and complain. They told me after circumstances like this, people just never return to the restaurant and that complaining would do nothing. Thus They advised me against it; so I am choosing to be a bit anonymous instead. In general overall the meal was very good, but the service was very poor. We came in on Friday evening (a Friday during lent)-- obviously a busy time. We had reservations. Ordered an appetizer, drinks, enjoyed catching up with friends for the first time in 4-5 years. We ordered our entrées. In the course of all of this the waiter swore five times and jumped into one of our conversations about business. I was really taken aback each instance. As professional men, in somewhat of a professional setting I found it appalling. His cuss words were: hellx2, $h!7, and B (not twds a person). But honestly, it dealt with it and just ignored it. After we paid, and left and above 20% tip-- within 10 minutes he comes back to the table and apologizes and says "I'm sorry gentlemen we have a lot of reservations I have to ask you if it's OK if you can leave so we can get them in". I get it. I totally do. I was ticked. Probably mostly leading up from his other antics. But as we walked I into the foyer there is absolutely nobody waiting. Everyone had been seated. I felt completely taken and robbed of time with friends. I get it. I really do. That servers want to get multiple tables and to make money. I also understand that it is hard to get staff right now. But this is the first time in my entire life that this has happened. Is this the normal? From reservation to being asked to leave we were at the table for 2.5 hours. That's it. Four meals. Two appetizers. Multiple drinks. Not a cheap fare. If I am in the wrong here for complaining please let me know. Suffice it to say I will be taking my friends advice and not venturing back here. I'm assuming that not all waiters or waitresses are alike but this poor reception has me not wanting to return.

First time visit to Celebrate our Anniversary here last night. Reservations were made and we were sat immediately. Bread provided was tasty. Ordered a bowl of clam chowder to share and it was very flavorful. I ordered the papa bear steamer and my hubby the NY strip with a side of shrimp. Nice big lobster tail in the steamer that was seasoned well. The crab was way over done and not much of it. I wish they would pre-slice because the cracker is useless when the crab shell is soft. I got a small claw and a half a leg section about 3 inches long and a finger wide, not exactly king crab. I would steam the crab and then mix it in the broth because again it was overdone. 4 shrimp and 5 muscles but one was missing the meat inside. Lots of potatoes and fresh green beans. The highlight for me was the lobster which usually it would be the crab. The steak looked really good and the bite I had was good, a little more seasoning (salt) needed for my taste. Waitress was attentive except no refill of my hubby's tea. Not the place for a romantic private dinner, it's very loud. But overall our meal was nice and if I'm in the mood for seafood I might consider this place again.

I've never had a bad meal here, the large and diverse menu always has something to please! The service is perfect. All of the seafood is fresh and the steaks are cooked to perfection. Everything from the soups to bread, salads and sauces are thoughtfully prepared with tasty recipes. The specials are inventive and always a good choice. Make sure to try one of their creative cocktails and save room for dessert!
