Belle Isle is a beautiful island located just off of the coast of Detroit and in the Detroit river. We took the time to drive around the island and took in the views of the water and parks and lakes that were inside the island. Once we arrived to the yacht club, the security guards were very friendly and approachable and we gave them our names and parked. All of the staff amazed me. The bartenders were fantastic, and even the servers were able to bring us additional food Even though we probably were not meant to have multiple bread baskets. The sunset over the water and the marina outside was just the icing on the cake to a beautiful venue. I would love to be a member here!

Dear Owners, What a mixed bag of feelings I had when I…read moredined at your establishment tonight! First was WOW! What a cute place! Do we really have a "wine bar" with this kind of atmosphere downriver? I saw a picture of your establishment on a friend's Facebook page a while back, she told me about you and the pictures didn't lie, it is as cute, quaint and cozy as I had expected. I was fortunate enough to have a restaurant.com certificate so I could check you out! We were seated in a little alcove that felt cozy and private. We ordered a bottle of white wine. Our waitress delivered two glasses. She explained to us that she wanted to keep our bottle under refrigeration so it wouldn't get warm. As a pretty serious wine drinker, this isn't the way it's done. We want the excitement when our bottle arrives and the special feeling when the wine is opened for us. Teach your staff how to properly serve a wine, or don't call yourself a "wine bar." We asked for our bottle, and nursed it through the food. It did get warm, if you invest in those stainless steel or clay coolers your staff won't have to worry! Your waitress made a little mistake; she delivered the bread for us to another table even though we were next. She looked us in the eye and apologized. She is a keeper; you don't often find folks like that - except Downriver - the in your face honest type. This made a negative into a positive. And the bread! Seriously, home made, with lots of warm crispy outside and soft insides and a sauce with a little extra zing on the finish! YUM! My little secret is that I have been gluten-free recently, not tonight, not with that bread on the table! The salads were gorgeous - homemade dressing, mixed greens and lovely. I can't help but wonder if a little cracked pepper offered for my salad would have added another nice flair? I like this too. It isn't an expensive thing to do and gives you that extra-special feel. Next was the hard part we waited a long time for our food. We were getting frustrated. Apparently, tonight was the first night of a new menu. My husband liked his Chicken Saltimbocca, but my swordfish was a bit over-cooked. My polenta was kind of watery. What did you do? Both proprietors came to the table, looked us in the eye and apologized. You shook our hands. You let me make suggestions and took me seriously. You are "salt of the earth" people and you WILL succeed. Our meals were comped due to the extenuating circumstances. This is what I like about Downriver; the no-nonsense approach of its people. I have seen enough of your restaurant that I will recommend it, I will be back, and I will not be disappointed! I will also write another review, and I know it will be a star or two better. Folks will give your cute place a chance, and they won't be sorry! Sincerely, Lisa L.

It is located in the basement of the Cambria Hotel. The guy up front was accommodating to wait until more of my group showed up to start the time on a two hour bowling reservation. The lane had a few minor mechanical issues that were resolved when we asked for assistance. Just talk to a worker if there is a problem with not getting your full amount of reservation time. I can't say what problems may be presented at a busier time though. The food tastes good. I liked the garlic parmesan wings and burrata truffle pizza. It's a little pricey. The pizza and wings were enough for 2 people, 3 max. One of the workers told me that typically it isn't allowed to bring food in because I had a birthday cake. I can understand banning alcohol or a pizza from another restaurant, but there should be an exception for a celebratory cake. There was a lot of metered parking around Cambria Hotel and I found a spot right across the front entrance. Overall, it's a great hangout spot in downtown Detroit for food, drinks, and games. Duckpin shares space with Five Iron Golf so along with bowling you can also reserve time for golf simulators.

The bartenders are friendly and the drinks are solid. Prices aren't terrible. The pizza looked really good, but I didn't try it.

The back yard is such a cool vibe. Loved the astroturf - keeps your shoes from getting gross! Absolutely would be back. Not too far or expensive for a ride share from downtown area. Only thing I'd do differently is hit up the taqueria down the street!
