Place looks nice but the service is poor and the food quality is pretty bad. Frozen and microwaved fish, hotdog bun quality bread, but fries are okay Half the beer on the menu is not in stock. The price they charge demands 3 times better quality and service. Not worth your time. read more

Found this place randomly looking for sushi to eat. The other reviews here are spot on to how the place is run. Service was bad. We were a table of six and It took us a while to get waters all around. The server actually messed up three of the six orders that we ordered. Between misplating, not including sides and one order that was completely wrong (my order). Unfortunately the kitchen had already closed so there was nothing we could do about it. Food was OKAY at best, not worth the prices they are charging though. I would suggest staying away until they fix their service issue. read more

I highly recommend this place, if you come you should get the land and sea! also ask for Denis as your waiter, he is very nice and charismatic. my mom told me i couldn't take my lobster tail shell home so i asked Denis if i could and he told me he would wrap it up for me and put it in a to go box, so that's what i did. if you come here and get Denis ask him to wrap your lobster shell up to take it home and he will! GIVE DENIS A RAISE!!!! read more

Edit 2: I have tried to contact the manager multiple times since they said they would refund the charges on the 6th. They never refunded anything nor got back to me. I will never go back to this restaurant and I would never suggest it to anyone I know. Absolutely ridiculous. Edit: the manager explained how those extra charges happened. It was an accident. Something about how their credit card machine works and splitting the bills at the tables. She said she was refunding my money and making the server pay for the difference. I'm not sure what sits more wrong with me... them making the server pay $120 of a bill or being charged for it originally. Pretty sure it's the making the server pay the $120 though. Still won't be going back and still unimpressed with the whole situation. Had dinner here over the past weekend. Service wasn't bad considering the situation most restaurants are in. However, I now have three charges on my credit card from here and only one is mine... not really sure how that could happen accidentally. Needless to say I'm not happy about it and won't be going back due to this. I can deal with less than prefect service but not servers trying to stealing my money. Unimpressive. read more

Fishbone's - Mia makes the best cocktails. Try the Love Potion. I had THREE! - Seafood Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

We came to Fishbone's on a work trip. I'm pretty sure it's in an old hotel. The inside is HUGE and looks so cool. The food was excellent. We had the hot wings (excellent), the artichoke dip. It was piping hot (almost too hot) but super tasty. For meals I had the Jambalaya. And oh man was it good. Super spicy and fresh. The sausage was sooooo delicious. My Buddy had a pasta dish that he enjoyed. I looked up and it was all gone haha. They could use a few more beers on tap. But honestly this was an awesome place. I'll be back because the menu is FULL of things to try. From New Orleans style, pasta, burgers and seafood. read more

My husband and I traveled to Downtown Detroit, MI for a wedding. We wanted to find a restaurant for a nice dinner. Fishbone's was within walking distance from our hotel. There was a good crowd for a Thursday night. I ordered the Faroe Island Salmon and my husband ordered Ahi Tuna Steak. Both entrees came with vegetables. My salmon was cooked to perfection. The Ahi Tuna steak was nicely seared. Our waiter was polite and knowledgeable about the menu. This restaurant deserves a higher rating - should be a minimum of 4. read more

1 star for excellent service. 1 star for atmosphere.( - )3 stars for the food. Literally appalling.

My lady and I came to the downtown location for a late lunch. She is from Philly, and I've been trying to show her some of Detroit's finest. She THOROUGHLY enjoyed this experience! The seafood gumbo, the steak & lobster, and above all else, surprisingly...the broccoli was the BEST she said she's had in her 44 years on earth!! Thanks to Piper & Chef Fernando for blowing my girl's mind with none other than...Broccoli! We actually got the chance to thank him in person. Then I told him to leave, because I was getting jealous!! Lol read more

Great food, great bar, great staff, we had a good time. A party of 6 stopped by for dinner, we did not have to wait long for a table. The wait staff was very pleasant. The drinks came soon enough and the food was great! I try to always grab a meal at Fishbone's when I'm in Detroit read more

Very disappointed with the breakfast. The pancakes tasted horrible and they were not fluffy, just cold hard dough. Eggs were fine and bacon extremely salty, but backs always is salty. Service was good. I would give it a second chance if I ever go back to Greektown in Michigan. read more

It's a 3.5-star place, not quite 4-star. A friend of mine comes to this place during the SAE conference every year, and I joined the group for the first time. Since this place is pretty close to the People Mover station, it's pretty convenient from the Cobo Center. It was not crowded during the lunchtime. The snack tray is a very generous portion, it's filled with hot wings, onion rings, spring rolls, fried zucchini, and popcorn shrimp. We have five people, and this tray already made us half full. I got the Pasta Orleans for a half size, very glad they offer half size since the snack tray is so big. The pasta is creamy and flavorful. It's kind of oily. I like the mushroom and tomato add a fresh taste to it. One of us came here a couple of times, and he remembered it tasted better in the past. read more

It's in greektown and a little bit different from the Fishbone in Louisiana. It's strange that they also have sushi there. Crawfish ettouffe and crab shrimp we order are really delicious. Jambalaya is too salty. Anyway, it's a nice restaurant. read more

Shout out to Ricardo M. for his excellent service and general taking care of us for lunch today. Thanks also for his extra effort in finding my cell phone that I had dropped underneath the table and had been frantically searching for back in my office. I have eaten at this restaurant probably a dozen times. It is a great place to bring lunch guests. (I've only been here for lunch.) Ricardo and the rest of the team do a great job of taking care of me and my guests. Solid tables, comfortable large silverware, clean restrooms, not noisy, but also not dead quiet. This is a comfortable place to eat, everyone could be wearing ties and fit right in. Or you could be wearing jeans and sweatshirts. Fortunately, the food is also very very good. I've had five or six different things and I've ended up going for the jambalaya the last several times I have been there. It is every bit as good as the jambalaya that you can get in New Orleans. But they also have a pretty diverse selection of food, steak, salads, plenty of vegetarian options. They also have great appetizers. They are all really tasty, good solid food. Ricardo brought us a really neat appetizer that I've had a couple other times, flaming Greek cheese! No joke, and it's a load of fun to get the table talking and happy. High end food in a comfortable place. Fancy enough to bring a date and wear a suit and yet comfortable enough that you won't feel out of place otherwise. read more

Very poor management and customer service! Took my family here on Tuesday and I felt like fainting at the table. Went outside and they freaked out about a glass of water I had. My chest started tightening and I couldn't breathe well. Told my family cancel the order we were going to the hospital. They threatened to call the cops on us if we left without paying. All they had to say was hey the food is already being made we need you to pay you can take it to go but they threatened a cop call. I ended up having surgery that night because a cyst burst inside of me. Be more considerate of your guests! Will not be going back! read more

I just did a carryout at Fishbone. Pastas Orleans my fave. I eat it enough where I know portion size etc. This is a $30 pasta that was swimming in sauce so u would nit notice that there was literally one forklift of pasta. I could pick up all the pasta in the box in one fork scoop. Then you get the don't care management staff. This is why restaurants are closing. It's not just about food, but the response when there is an issue. Definitely won't be back at very least to this location. read more

This restaurant is a staple in Greektown. It's nice to have a low key sushi spot downtown. And the seafood gumbo is to die for.

Our group went to FISHBONES for dinner prior to a Tiger game. Three in our group ordered Fish and Chips and I ordered the Jambalaya. Everyone raved about the French fries! The fish (cod) was delicious. I enjoyed my regular, Jambalaya. It was spicy and had an outstanding taste. (My only problem was that the portions were quite a bit smaller.) The service was excellent! Our hostess was attentive even though she was attending many other parties. I DID NOT LIKE YOUR PAYMENT SYSTEM! Normally, when paying the bill for a party of four, I DID NOT EXPECT A 15% GRATUITY ADDED! When I normally pay a bill for FOUR people, I add a 20% tip (in cash) for the hostess, along with "plastic" for company. When I looked at the bill at home, I realized that the hostess received about 35%+! (I would have thought that "someone" should have mentioned the gratuity was part of the bill. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!! read more

I understand about covid, but I had my issues with fishbones before covid. Things have not improved. Major disappointment. I know everyone is trying, but to be honest, I was very disappointed on every level. Management needs to take a serious look at what is going on. read more

we dined on 4.12.2025 and this was the worst dinning experience I have ever experienced. Let's work it backwards. Image the night ending with four security officers being told to come stand at the door of the private room that the restaurant has assigned you too because the incompetent manger sent them after she lacked the professionalism to correct the several billing mistakes that included over charging and adding items to the bill that no one had even ordered. Image the waitstaff not knowing what table to bring the food to and just standing in the middle of the room calling out the item that they have in their hand yes that happened. Imagine getting one glass of water and never being asked if you would like a refill mind you this is a wedding party usually you have pitchers of water from the start but nope they didn't bring out the 2 pitchers for the five tables until we had been there for about 2 hours. 2 hours with no food because they only took the appetizer and drink order and that took about and hour then once we were allowed to orders food it did not come until almost 10 o clock. We arrived at 8 didn't get drinks and appetizers until a little after 9 then they took the entree orders and they arrived at 10. Then when the bills came they had those completely wrong charging $100 for old fashions and charging for four when only 2 were ordered. It took them to closing time to correct the egregious errors that they had made due to one improper staffing for our party and flat out incompetence and poor customer service. The icing on the cake for me is when the young man that was apart of the wait staff made a racist comment. Do yourself a favor and never visit this establishment they are void of professionalism, leadership and quality of any kind. read more

I usually love fishbones no matter which location I visit. This trip was a disappointment. Ordering was easy, the food was ready as promised, there was a designated spot to park while picking up food. My ONLY complaint is my food dish was "bland" this time around. My Pasta Orleans, which ain't cheap had no flavor! The catfish beignets were perfect as always, but that pasta killed everything! I live closer to the Southfield location but was feeling a little nostalgic and decided to give Dtown a spin again....hopefully things are better next time, I will be back! read more

Fishbone's - Pasta Orleans - Seafood Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Prior to this visit, it had been 15 years since I had visited Fishbones. Initially I was excited to see that the menu had been updated from just Cajun/new Orleans style foods. One new thing they now offer is sushi (yay, right, um no...) The sushi wasnt bad, but it wasnt anywhere near great either. It tasted like the sushi that can be purchased in the grocery section at Meijer. Needless to say, disappointing... I sampled a piece of someone else's fried catfish and it didn't taste like anything at all. Others at the table also agreed. I don't understand how this is possible. The waitress was kind of snotty and obviously annoyed with having to deal with such a large group (about 30 people). Also, Fishbones will not split the checks for a group :-( However, one great thing about fishbone's is the decor and ambiance. The downtown location is a beautiful place...Based off of this experience, it will likely be another 15 years before I bother to visit again :-/ read more

Fishbone's - Philly roll - Seafood Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

We always end up here before the Auto Show - it's almost a tradition.. forced due to proximity to Greek Town & the People Mover. Service is always pretty decent - due to the busy nature of the day (due to Auto Show) things go pretty quickly. Food is always.. okay. Nothing blows me away... this time i was especially unimpressed by the sushi. Sub par and i couldn't even finish it all due to some odd flavor profiles and just MEH. Alligator and spring roll apps were decent enough. Co workers enjoyed their salads. Not a lot of vegan options for our boss... Would i come here if not for the location? Maybe. But I wouldn't run back after this last visit - esp for sushi read more

I've heard mixed reviews of Fishbone's so I knew I had to give it a try myself. I was excited to see a large sushi menu, but was intrigued that it had a creole menu as well. My brother was in from Arizona so we decided to start with some flaming cheese (Saganaki) which was made with pepper jack cheese. Opa! It wasn't too bad, but I thought it would be spicier then what it was. I ordered the Jambalaya based off the server's recommendations and I wasn't disappointed but I wasn't wowed either. It felt like it was missing that kick of spice. Having been to New Orleans a few times, I guess nothing will beat the authentic Jambalaya of N'awlins. My brother really seemed to enjoy his Shrimp Po'Boy as there was nothing left on his plate when I looked over. The beau got the ribeye and potato wedges, and he seemed to like his food as well. I didn't get a chance to try any sushi, so I will have to do that next time I come here. It's a solid place for lunch, the place was packed, but with all the other restaurant options around it might not be my first choice to dine. read more

I ordered a crawfish boil and tell me why it was a tin bucket full of fucking hot sauce as the boil sauce and the he only thing the manager said was well I'll take half off for the boil because y'all already started eating it. So now I feel like she was being an ass hole because if you have an unsatisfied customer wouldn't you show a little concern and try to accommodate your customers?!!! Especially after I spent well over a hundred and forty dollars I mean come on we weren't looking for a handout just common courtesy. Makes me think is it because we are who we are??? Hmmmm.... read more

I started with the saganaki which wasn't terrible but it would definitely not order again it was kinda rubbery textured I ordered artichoke dip which was very good definitely would get again The seafood gumbo was very thick almost tooo thick and there was only one piece of shrimp The service was unfortunately not the best either are server didn't table touch or check on us she seemed irritable with our requests Sidenote, the Coke is generic It's cola not Coke That's definitely something that should be discussed The restaurant it's self is beautiful has an amazing vibe and definitely a place to get drinks with a group of friends although I haven't tried there drinks The only reason I didn't order real food is because the appetizers were so mid I couldn't get myself to order read more

food was excellent, our server seemed as if she was on drugs, shaking throughout our entire service and didn't even know basic items on the menu. most of our table of 6 asked for waters, yet she brought each drink to us one by one, and kept asking us what she forgot. great atmosphere and food but extremely disappointed with our waitress. read more

The restaurant has a nice decor the service is alittle lacking as I just dined there June 26 ! I ordered the shrimp stuffed with crab very good but the hurricane I ordered didn't come close to the hurricanes I've gotten in New Orleans and the seafood gumbo way over spiced had it not been so expensive probably wouldn't of eaten it .... I think if you're gonna offer New Orleans inspired food you should have someone cooking it that knows how it's done properly as well as the drinks ! For the prices charged which appeared to be a little on the high side I'm sure there might be other places close by where you might get a better bang for your $$$!!! Probably a one & done visit for me unless things were to change ! Gotta go 1 star read more

Wonderful menu, atmosphere and service. The sushi is fresh and the choices are great. We also had the filet which was cooked perfectly. The jambalaya was amazing. Our server, Roo, was fast and friendly. We will be back! read more

Worst service EVER I ordered PASTA ORLEANS and got fucking Chicken Pesto Alfredo NO SEAFOOD waiter was using FAKE Jamaican accent and never accommodated all 4 of my party we were given 3 glasses of water and 3 table setting for a 4 guest table.

They disrespected 2 mothers 1 father and a BRIGHT educated young man's black family WILLING to pay, BUT her shitted on for $134.

Due to a Red Wings game there was a crowd waiting but line moved quickly, smoothly. The hostesses worked hard to keep everyone in order and get parties seated as tables became available. The manager however made a very public display of scolding them and warning them they'd be written up. That was extremely unprofessional in front of patrons not to mention demeaning to the staff who was clearly overwhelmed. Our waitress Rita was stuck with several large groups so although we had to wait for a little while she made sure to get us out rolls and drinks. Food was delicious, highly recommend the Creole Pasta. Rita busted her butt taking care of our party of 8 and those around us, getting food out as quickly as the kitchen allowed. Having been there for decades, she knows what's she's doing. We however continued to see multiple acts of public shaming, scolding, and threats of write ups by the manager out on the floor. I'd recommend she handle that behind closed doors or just let her staff work, being overwhelmed with trying to take care of customers, they don't need their boss breathing down their necks. Food, drink, other staff all great though. read more

Fishbone's is my go to restaurant for great food. The service is superb. The food is the correct temperature and is prepared with care.

I wanted to not give it a star at all considering this was the absolute worst dining experience I set at the table for over an hour no food and then when it finally came it it was cold and very small portions considering I eat what I ordered all the time fishbones downtown is the absolute worse oh and by the way the manager was an asshole when I asked to speak to him no type of care about the situation read more

I love Fishbones for any time, day of the week! The beads, the fun, staff is great! Sushi, amazing! Great food. I was very disappointed having attended Easter brunch! First, I called to make reservations, great no problem. The day before Easter they called for me to email my credit card information for a deposit of $105 for 5 adults, 2 kids under 5. I went up there later, waiting like 15-20 min to leave a deposit. Easter, we waited probably 10-1in for seating which was ready. Disappointed the food was multiple trays empty, a slim cut if the remainder of beef, lots of potatoes, veggies but not worth the $220. Do not eat after 1Pm brunch, you too maybe disappointed. I really wished for a better experience read more

Very good! Party of five. We all agreed that the alligator, catfish beignets and seafood entrees were very good. The orange roughy got high marks from the people I ate with. So did the sushi. I can speak for the Oysters Rockefeller. When in downtown Detroit, don't miss this place! Thank you Kyra for the great service and smiles! Very reasonably priced also! read more
