Seafood & steak with river views, extensive wine & cocktails
"With sweeping views of the Detroit River and Windsor from the Renaissance Center, this is the spot for every occasion, especially with a weekday happy hour that runs from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the bar. The menu consists of, you guessed it, seafood — from colossal shrimp cocktail, to king crab legs and Maine lobster." - Eater Staff
"You can’t beat the views of the Detroit River from the Joe Muer Seafood location in the Renaissance Center, so head there while it’s still around. The timeless restaurant, serving up oysters and decadent seafood for generations, isn’t just for graduations and special occasions — not with a happy hour every weekday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the bar. Not surprisingly, the menu leans heavily on seafood snacks: mussels, calamari, sushi, and tuna tartare, all $10 or under. Daily rotating drink specials also happen. Hours: 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday" - Mickey Lyons
"This classic restaurant is a city institution and occupies a perch on the main floor of the RenCen in downtown Detroit. With sweeping views of the Detroit River and Windsor, it’s the perfect spot for a romantic date or a business lunch. The menu includes spicy tuna tartar and Instagram-worthy beverages. Alongside a colossal shrimp cocktail, king crab legs, and Maine lobster, Joe Muer features a raw bar and sushi." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Joe Muer’s is a throwback steakhouse, where waiters with bow ties pull out your red velvet tufted chair, and couples sit at a gilded bar drinking frosted martinis served by a guy named Mac. If the decor hasn’t already clued you in, this is definitely a place for a special celebration, except steaks aren’t the focus here (although they have a few that are quite good). It’s all about the seafood, which is flown in fresh daily—landlocked state be damned. The shrimp here are practically the size of a ribeye, the king crab legs generously hang off the edge of your plate, and a crab-stuffed Atlantic flounder is the kind of oceanic inception we fully support. And when the dessert cart stacked with cakes, pies, and pastries comes wheeling toward your table, this isn’t the time to say “no thanks.”" - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
