Faroe Island Salmon
Erica C.

First, our waitress was awesome! She was patient, attentive, and offered good suggestions. The place is small but intimate with a nice sized bar. The cocktails are top notch. The food is great. I had the salmon with mashed garlic potatoes . It was really good. The experience was nice for a first time. It's perfect for a date night!

I found this place on Yelp and decided to try it because of the many gluten-free options, and it did not disappoint. The space is small but super cozy and very charming There's a main level and a lower level (I didn't get to see the downstairs area), but the vibe upstairs alone was enough to win me over. I especially loved the picture-framed TV (which didn't look like a TV) was such a unique touch. Our service was amazing from start to finish. Marcus, our server, was incredibly kind and attentive. He took my food allergies seriously and helped me find the perfect dish, which I really appreciated. My friend ordered the French Dip Smashburger and said it was incredible, especially with the dip sauce. The drinks were just as impressive. I had a refreshing cocktail with cilantro in it which was different, but surprisingly delightful. Overall, it was a great experience, and I definitely plan to come back to try more items on the menu!

Spaghetti squash, short rib, rigatoni diavolo, beet and burrata crispy Brussels sprout salad
Maisha R.

Came here for a girls night birthday celebration and we had a wonderful time! It was excited to see the new restaurant in the Mad Hatter space. Space is a bit tight but redecorated nicely! We were in the upstairs space and did t see the new downstairs yet. Our server was the sweetest and our table loved her! At her recommendation, we started with the langos to share which we all devoured. For mains, we split the beet and burrata crispy Brussels sprout salad, rigatoni diavolo pasta, braised balsamic short rib, and spaghetti squash with sautéed vegetables. The short rib was definitely the clear favorite, followed by the pasta! We were all appropriately stuffed after this meal, and split a birthday dessert to end our night. Would definitely come back to Bell Bistro!

Smash burger

I will say the ambiance is quite good here with the sultry lighting and nuetral tones. My server was very polite and attending. Starting off to drink I got the vendita cocktail. I was explained it was kind of like a margarita and it can come spicy which I ordered it like that. It tasted watery and not spicy at all. So I was starting off a little underwhelmed. But to eat, I got the smash burger and it was really good. It came with fries and I asked for ranch. I tried the mushroom pasta as well as the Caesar salad with salmon added and it was all yummy. I would give 4 stars for this place but bc I was disappointed with the drink ( especially considering it was like 26$) I would give this 3.5/5

My friend and I had a full-on girls' day out, and we wrapped it up at Bell Bistro! It was the best decision. The vibe was cool and the food was yummy. I definitely plan to come back!

Happy hour burger
Marissa C.

Came here for a happy hour and it was wonderful!! We were welcomed in by the host and orders were taken quickly. The wagyu meatball was by far the best thing that we ordered. I wish there were more bread pieces to eat with it but overall amazing. The Brussels sprouts and chopped salad were delicious and well balanced. The langos (fried thing) ate really heavy with the cheese and stuff on top of it. It felt very difficult to finish. The burger was good but only at the happy hour price. Personally I wanted a pickle on the burger .... There was not one. Decent place with decent prices.

Great food, great ambience, and lovely dining experience. The menu is amazing and I can't wait to come back to this place with my family. I enjoyed a great girls night out. I ordered the salmon which was a huge piece cooked to perfection. I also ordered the beet salad and tried their trout, which were also excellent. For dessert, we ate the fried donuts which were decadent and delicious.

Smash Burger
Casey M.

Lovely little bistro in the downtown area of Birmingham on Old Woodward, Bell Bistro was a fun stop for a nice HH. The Happy Hour menu has some great options, giving a great glimpse of staple menu items especially the smash burger and fries (which was delicious) - service was attentive but not overbearing, our server was great with identifying when drinks were low but not hovering. Plenty of great menu options to try from, and was surprisingly quiet for a great HH - but I loved the food and the atmosphere so will definitely be back again soon!

Tuna tartare

Delicious food & friendly, professional service. So refreshing to have kind service in a nice establishment. The ambiance is gorgeous. I came at 4:15 & there was no wait. Reservations are recommended for evening dining. I would definitely come back!

Hummus, meatball, langos
Samantha B.

Good drinks/apps/entrees. Small but cute place. Service was good. Would come back multiple times!

Creamy espresso martinis, dirty martini, and margarita
Stefanie I.

Food and drinks were amazing. Food was very flavorful and well executed. Drinks were made very well and were delicious. Service was pretty good, despite them being busy. Very nice ambiance but didn't love being in the lower level. Upper level is more lively.

Langos
Heather B.

First time here. We had the Langos to start. It was nothing short of delicious! Fried dough, seasoned sour cream, feta cheese, garlic oil.... Wowwwww Next, Caesar Salad. Totally on point! First time having sun-dried tomatoes in my Caesar and ummm great addition! Next I had the Zip Smash Burger. That zip sauce and the pickles onions made the entire burger! So good. He had the Rigatoni and granted it was a small portion but he said it was great. We went here for my boyfriend's birthday which the waiter knew cause I said it to him. I kinda expected a candle in the tiramisu we ordered but nothing ‍ The table next to us mentioned that it was her birthday and when her tiramisu came out, she had a candle ‍ Either way the food was great! Oh I didn't mention they have a lower level that I wasn't aware of. Totally different vibe down there and would prefer upstairs seating next time.

BasBlue is a magical, gorgeous place! They have renovated a house in Detroit to turn into this…read morewonderful meeting space for all! It is geared towards women and nonbinary individuals and created a safe and supportive environment for them to grow their dreams and aspirations in, but it is open to any and all who want to check it out! Anyone can have access to the main floor of BasBlue, where there is an INCREDIBLE cafe to get delicious drinks and food from. There is also a ton of seating for you to enjoy your food and drink and to cowork from as well. If you want to become a member, the upper floors are open to you with more collaborative and private spaces for you to enjoy! It is a non-profit organization and just a gloriously safe and intentionally-curated space to foster creativity and amazing vibes. I always feel so at peace and centered when I'm at BasBlue and love to take meetings from here as often as I can! It's located very close to the DIA, but only open during the weekdays. So pay attention to their hours and if you're looking for a great place to work from or are interested in learning more about what a membership here could bring, definitely check BasBlue out!!

As a guy, I cannot join. I was here as part of an event and this is based on what I saw and…read moreexperienced. Limited street pay parking, there is a shared lot nearby. This is a very nicely renovated mansion turned into a woman's club. Like a late 1800's gentleman's club, only for women. There is a locker room/workout room/nursing area, but I did not see them because I am not a woman. They have lectures and groups within the club. They have a full kitchen, and the usual food on offer seemed like you would expect at a starbucks or better. They have drinks, coffee, and wine. The wine was higher end. And they use an ordering app so members at different rooms of the club can order easily. Lots of rooms. Dining and lecture rooms, lounge and club type rooms, conference rooms. A large event room. All really nice. There are smaller serving bars on the second and third floors. Depending on age, annual membership is 600 or 1200 dollars. It looked great. Maybe it could have used more restrooms, but that is sort of reaching for something negative to say.
