This so called sushi rolls were ginormous. Kroger rolls are made better. Had a sorry waiter my whole experience was Horrible.

A Detroit staple.... casual atmosphere and almost something for everyone on the menu.

Maybe Fishbones has become a victim of its own success, or rather Greektown's. Maybe it's trying to appeal to the masses, probably drunken after their whatever football or baseball game. Why try, when your average six pack Joe patron is drunk and probably eats fried mice with cheese on it for dinner, probably after nascar. In any event, food is mediocre, prices are high and their new martini drink has the color of a cleaning detergent that I'd pour into my toilet. It's that "toilet bowl blue" color. It tastes awful. They got good boys and girls working there, that's about the only positive thing I can say, although our waiter made a rather poor remark about gluten intolerance. Anyways, if you want decent Fishbones experience, go to their St Clair Shores location. read more

This was my fourth business trip in Detroit in 3 years and again Fishbone's was a hit. This time I enjoyed the crab cakes & clam chowder as appetizers, the coconut shrimp dinner, and the bread pudding (I ordered to go for dessert). Although I enjoyed the bread pudding at thee hotel, it seems they have it pre-made and refrigerated. So only order it if you have a microwave accessible for reheating. Thus, my rating should be 4.5. Every bite of it all was delicious including the heated bread pudding. Additionally, my server, Jordan was the best. She was totally attentive going above and beyond to speak with me & make sure my needs were met. Should my company send me to Detroit again, Fishbone's here I come. read more

An unfortunate situation occurred while we were eating this evening, however, the wait staff and manager handled the situation with professionalism and comped our meal (which was very appropriate considering the situation). Thank you for addressing the unexpected situation (xmas tree) appropriately. read more

Was there on Saturday.. Wayne was my bartender.. As much as I dislike looking at male bartenders, he was a very good bartender. He offered me new drink options I never heard of. I don't eat anything from the ocean, but I will be back just to drink at the bar if I see him there. Kudos to FB 's for getting a smart considerate tender read more

The brunch was excellent! Great food and great service. I was, however, disappointed that they moved the food table from where it used to be on the other wall. It is much farther to walk, and the omelet bar is too far away. Please put it back the way it used to be! Besides that, this is my favorite restaurant! read more

I recommend Fishbone's. Ambiance is great it is a large place and very open. When we visited it was very busy and there was live music as well. Service was good, the server paid adequate attention to us and the food came out promptly. The food was excellent. I ordered the filet minon and it was perfect, cooked correctly, great flavor, melt in your mouth tender. I also sampled some of the ribs from another member of our group and they were great as well, great flavor, fall off the bone tender. Next time I'm in Greektown there's a good chance I'll eat here again. Only things keeping me from giving a 5 star: is a bit pricey for limited choices for sides and no salad included. If you want to sub one of your sides for a salad it's a $6 upcharge which is a bit extreme. You don't check in at the sever stand and wait to be seated, you have to line up like your heading to a cafeteria, that was kind of strange. read more

Went after auto show, 5:30ish. Great food especially the gumbo! Service was exceptional.

I agree with Denmark S - this is a place you love to hate - or - hate to love! I've been going here for years and would really like to give more than 3 star rating, food is great in my experience but the service seems to get worse every time I go there! First the food - I usually get the spicy tuna roll, which I love. Clam Chowder soup is great, favorite is the Catfish Atchafalacha (sp?). The Sunday Brunch is excellent - it's usually crowded but the food is hot and fresh, a lot of variety from breakfast items to Prime Rib. Desserts are to die for. Now the service - every time I get in the mood to come here, I have to stop and think do I really want to put up with the service "again"! My experience with the service has ranged from "non-existent" to "barely passable". The last time we were there, just wanted to sit at the bar to have a drink and apps. After quite a wait, where the bartender seemed to not notice we were even there (did I mention there were only 2 other people at the bar!) we finally got our drink order taken. Got happy hour food menu and looked it over - bartender sat down behind bar talking to one of the patrons at the bar. Couldn't get her attention to save our life - finally came over and asked if we wanted to order - we said yes - she walked away - sat down again talking to the same guy. After finishing our drinks, decided this was it - put cash on bar - I guess that got her attention, she came over and snatched the cash, didn't say anything and walked away! On the way out, I decided that this was so BAD - I asked to speak to manager. Now I have to say, he listened and made everything right - sat on the other side of the bar and food and drinks comped! I guess if you get bad service you need to speak up - hopefully, if enough people speak up about it - maybe things will improve. It's one of those places, for me, that I keep going to because I like the food - in spite of the service. read more

Took a few minutes for the waitress to find us (only two of us) amongst all the large parties, but once she did, our service was fast, professional and efficient. Food was great (went with a steak tonight) and portions were perfect. read more

Well we had been going there for years at least 3x a week. Then on Easter Sunday had the worst experience with a waitress. Clearly owners and female manager do not care about good loyal customers. I will not step foot in there after being disrepected by waitress as long as that waitress works there. read more

The shrimp app that we had was pretty damn tasty. I didn't have any other seafood, but the lamb chops were pretty damn good. My friend seemed to enjoy his seafood pasta as well. I'd go again. read more

Very happy campers with our experience at Fishbone's. Our group of 4, had a variety of items off of the menu and we all had fantastic meals. From calamari, alligator, sushi, to chicken sandwiches, and a Caesar salad, not one complaint could be found. We were seated immediately which was unexpected on a Saturday night, and although the flow of diners drastically increased while we were there, not once did we feel rushed, ignored or forgotten. Awesome food, strong drinks, and a plan on returning! read more

Fishbone's has definitely gone downhill. Used to be reliable for good food. Just stopped in for an appetizer late lunch and had Oysters Rockerfeller. Not good at all, way too much spinach, no bacon bits and the bechemel sauce was way too much and very pastry tasting. The lemon wedge was sitting in the sauce and got all over my hands when trying to squeeze it. Yuk! I will give 5 stars to the Black & Tan. read more

Sitting here now me and my man ordered 2 t bone steaks at the end of the night idk if it's because it's the end of the night but the steaks are so tough that we literally have to saw through them and they aren't seasoned... they took mine off the bill and can't offer me anything else because the kitchen is closed ...but that's fine we will take our money elsewhere ...the manager didn't even come over to apologize he sent the bar tender back to us with no apology and she just told us she can take it off the bill and that's it ...she's had an attitude since we walked in...the hostess was very welcoming tho...won't be back here i only gave them 2 stars because the hostess was so welcoming other than that they would have zero stars if it were possible read more

Great looking restaurant. Probably great food waited twenty minutes and server never came back. SMH.

Stopped in on 2/3/19 for an early dinner before a show at the Opera House. We arrived around 5pm. This was our first time here. Greeted & seated quickly. Our server (Britney if I remember) was great, so friendly and checked on outs frequently. We had the grilled oysters appetizer, delicious. My husband had the catfish atchafalaya and I had the Shrimp & Grits. Food was great! We'll definitely make it a point to eat here again! read more

Absolute worst sushi I have had in years. The salmon nigiri made me gag, and the tuna maki rice was soaked in myoglobin. Should have sent it back. read more

The service was prompt and friendly. Food was amazing. For the New Orleans dishes we ordered they were very complimenting to the origin. Highly recommend! read more

Nice building and atmosphere but the food was mediocre at best, very pricey and very very small portions. I expected more and was disappointed. Party of 6, the bill was $140 and we all left hungry and bought take out on the way home. I told the waitress the portions seemed very small and she just laughed it off and said yes they were, acting like it was a joke. hmmm..... Sadly, I won't ever go back. read more

Horrible horrible experience here! When attempting to rectify our very poor dining experience at this establishment, Maria Gatzaros (owner) was rude and unprofessional. She proved time and time again she was not at all interested in reaching out nor correcting the issues at hand. When requesting a full refund for an incorrect carry out order, Maria blatantly refused despite the restaurant messing up. What a nasty woman! This place has a lot of potential but not when you have people like Julie (manager) and Maria running the show! I'll be sure to get my remaining funds back one way or another! I will also happily trash them all over social media. I have email chains as proof!!!! read more

Don't waste your time or money. We ordered a very expensive shrimp cocktail that came with four small shrimp. Biggest rip-off we've ever experienced. The waitress was downright rude. Didn't ask us if we wanted dessert or coffee, just shoved the bill in my boyfriend's hand (even though I was the one paying and we didn't ask for it). Entrees were ok I guess, but we were so disappointed by the whole experience. read more

I've only been here once; I had a little bit of everything. I tried sushi for the first time, and I loved it. The staff were great, extremely friendly, and the restaurant was very clean. I liked the environment. The fact that the restaurant was so welcoming, opened me up to try new things I've never had. All the food was AMAZING! I will definitely be coming back! read more

We went to Fishbones to hear our friend play in a live band. The band was amazing but the food and drinks at Fishbones was less then mediocre. The sushi rolls were not fresh, the rice was crunchie and the drinks were very watered down. After buying 3 long islands for myself and mt two girlfriends having 3 purple rains each, we left sober and still hungry. Its unfortunate that we will not return there, because the atmosphere and the bar/restaurant itself is beautiful. read more

ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS DRAFT BEER PRICING! I stopped in here to have a couple of beers last night during the Redwings game. They completely gouged me on 2 draft beers. When I asked the bartender about it he said "I know the pricing is out of line, I drink across the street for half the price". Thanks a lot for telling me!?!?!? When I talked to the manager, his response was equally worthless. No apology, just blamed the owners for the pricing. I will never return, and will tell everyone I know to avoid this place. Go to ANY other Greektown bar and pay less!!! Get it together Fishbones! You are in D-TOWN. Try to take care of the locals or you won't make it! read more

Not NEARLY as good as it use to be! I was just there the other night with my daughter on her 21st birthday for dessert! Key-lime pie GREAT! Bread Pudding FANTASTIC! Cajun Caviar...which is fried Crayfish...was tasty but becuz of my bartenders slow service....it was just lukewarm....he assured me that the plate was HOT though! Well I GUESS SO, it's been sitting there under a heat lamp for twenty minutes! 2 Drinks + 1 Keylime pie + 1 order of Crawfish + 1 Rude Bartender = 41 Bucks! NOT so happy, Happy Birthday! read more

Stopped in for a dinner after a tigers game and before bachelor party festivities. Expected much better and it ended up being the lowlight of the evening. Had the grilled shellfish platter. For $35 it was a bit on the pathetic side. Nothing tasted fresh, nor was any of it cooked particularly well. I was thoroughly unimpressed with the food and wouldn't recommend. Lots of great spots in Detroit - Fishbones is not one of them. read more

Been here before to have a quick lunch and many times it was just ok, but barely. Came in today for just a bowl of seafood gumbo. Tasted more like spicy brownish-red gravy with some popcorn shrimp thrown in for 'seafood'. Just a quick lunch that you don't expect much from,... and you certainly weren't surprised and delighted. Probably my last time to "pop" in for "popcorn shrimp". Think I'll go try something at a Greek place down the street next time, but then again restaurants are sooooooo over rated these days for what you get! read more

Vegetarian sushi selection here is great!!! Much wider assortment than most places in this area. Sit at the sushi bar, those guys are hilarious and it's cool to watch them build your rolls. read more

We went with a group... We had a "few" drinks while we watched the game. We all ordered different appetizers and shared. Sushi was also present and was really good! The atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for.... So if you are looking for a good time close to Greek town casino you can't go wrong here. The next day we had the brunch buffet and it did not disappoint! Everyone in our group was very pleased. read more

The Wife and I was searching for a place to get a bite after a long day at the children's hospital. She found this place and wanted to try it out. She liked her food and I not so much. I've had a better 20oz T-bone at a shitty ass restaurant then this place. My 7 year old daughter could of made a better steak. I payed $36 dollers for that horrible steak that should of gotten for $15 to $20 bucks. I do not recommend this place. read more

I can't really understand why this place is so poplar. They definitely do not have a handle on the "Cajun or creole" style as they claim! Very rarely do they have live entertainment. The atmosphere feels dated and busy! It doesn't seem like an authentic to Detroit establishment! Do not order any of the sushi! read more

Food and service were great. Byron is the man! When I come back I will request him as our server.

I wish I could give this zero stars. So we made a reservation of 14 over a week out, they said no problem. We show up for our reservation 8 mins early, and hostess gave us shit because we were 8 mins early. In the mean time a party of 12 that walked in after us got seated before us because "they didn't have a reservation". What? We then got put down the hallway to wait. The hostess said she didn't know exactly how many people we had and didn't have a way to get a hold of us, so that delayed us another 15mins. It was the scene out of Seinfeld and the rental car. Anyone can take reservations. It's those who hold reservations that matter. Food and service once seated was fantastic. So that sucks for them. Me and the party I was with won't be back. read more

The interior of Fishbones invites you in to a New Orleans feel and vibe but then surprises you when you come face to face with the sushi bar. This place is big, the seating and dining area goes on for what appears to be miles. Service was great, had 8 people in our party and the staff got our drinks quickly, aw well as our entrees. All were very helpful as none of us had been there before and we had some picky eaters in our party. I ordered the Combo Mambo which has dried shrimp, scallops, and fish fillets. I also ordered the potatoes and Cole slaw and each part of the entree was delicious and made me feel like I was Oceanside yet I was in a New Orleans themed restaurant... With a sushi bar. I've never been to New Orleans so maybe that's the norm but it was very unique and I will definitely go back again! read more

I like my fish. Not the bones of fish. I couldn't swallow the bones because I was afraid of choking. That guy who used to yell on tv "I ate the bones!" would probably love this place, but I do not. read more

Foodwas awesome. Service was awful. We had 7 in our party and the waitress saw and automatic 18% tip. Not impressed. Scallops were great!

My friends and I decided to try Fishbone's despite reading the many bad reviews and the low overall ratings. Because Ive had some great experiences at such places with low ratings, I always give all restaurants the benefit of the doubt. Anyhow, lets see what is great and what can be improved. Opportunity for improvement: THE FOOD. I mean that is the whole point of a restaurant, to deliver delicious food and thats where Fishbone's failed me. My Spinach Deep was one the least desirable samples of my favorite appetizer that I have ever had. Being a food aficionado, not a technical food expert, I just can say there was something wrong with the taste but I cannot pinpoint the exact culprit. As for my main dish, my Shrimp Creole was mediocre at best, and the least favorite moment of the food show came when I tasted my friends catfish. To be fair the two of my friends who had Jambalayas loved their food. So did my friend who I sneakily stole some catfish from. THE PRICE. I understand that Fishbone's is strategically placed in a hotspot, hence the higher fee to compensate for the location. However, nothing could justify the extremely high price tags on the dishes. I had to pay $19 for my main dish and close to $9 for my appetizer. At the end of it all the $35 check received far outweighed the average portion and quality of food I got. The gerat things: The service. Our server was extremely nice and attentive and she really took good care of us. She was energetic and positive despite being clearly tired. The Ambiance. The place is pretty cool. Very large area with extremely interesting interior. I mean its not everyday you see an entire 4 or 5 stories apartment inside a restaurant. You will understand this better once you see it. :) read more

I came here for the first time about a year and a half ago for my sisters birthday. Any place that has sushi and saganaki is a win in my book. And not just average sushi, it was great sushi. I've been back since then and would recommend this place for sure. read more
