The hostess Lee was professional, courteous and personable. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with kindness. Our waitress (Ellen I think) was joyous, all smiles that shined from even behind her mask. She provided excellent recommendations when asked. And finally the food was delicious !!!

Food was ok and needed help. The fillet was way over tenderized. I was charged an up charge to have broccoli as my vegetable. However it was cold. The potato’s were good. My wife’s pasta Orleans was just so so. Way overpriced.

The food at Fishbones is always consistent but the wait times for a Saturday night after being seated was unreasonably long. Entertainment was great. The restaurant was packed. I get it’s hard to find good service staff but the wait times for water was over 30 minutes after being seated. I really enjoy this metro Detroit staple restaurant but you have to do better for a Saturday night.

We arrived about 5 mins before our reservation. We sat at the bar because they wouldn’t seat us until 80% of our party was present. We were seated about 20 mins later. Our server Nicole was great! That always helps. Drinks were amazing. Get the Hurricane! Most of the food was good. Catfish beignets were delicious! My salmon was a bit over cooked. But overall we enjoyed ourselves and had a great time! I’ll definitely go back.

The menu on their website advertises they have sushi but upon arrival was told they don’t have a sushi chef. Also my sister-n-law and I are gluten free and about 80% of the items on their gf menu were crossed off. Thus our dinners were not very good. They had a band playing that night, which was good, but it was so loud we couldn’t hear each other speak which was annoying.

My first time there and it was just ok. Very loud, service was slow, food was decent. The waitress was nice. Probably won’t return unless I’m invited out. Just because it wasn’t my vibe doesn’t mean it wont be for someone else so I’d recommend it to a friend

The overall restaurant was clean, less rowdiness nice and comfortable and service was good. There was this young man, our server was excellent with good hospitality. I live in the Lansing area and he made us feel more than welcome in fact we return twice asking for him. It’s not just good food and cleanliness that keep guest coming back but that first impression is everything.

I am an out of town guest. They greeting seem not so friendly, maybe saying “Hello and welcome to Fishbones” would’ve help us feel more welcome. The menu selection is awesome, the side substitutes could be less costly. The cleanest of the restaurant was pleasing. I had to approach the greeter about the bathroom stall I used not having any bathroom tissue. The waiter seem new and a little quite and didn’t come back in a timely matter for drinks and removal of entree plates before serving our dinner entrée. Overall I know we will be back again for the third time. Sign Mrs Jacqueline Mims

Food was good! Service wasn't good, I had reservations and after 20 minutes of sitting and waiting to just get water. We went to the front desk. We didn't receive everything we ordered and they totally forgot my friend order. Never acknowledged my dad as we were there celebrating his 80th bday. It wasn't good service at all. We had to wait a while for Stanley (the manager) to address the table as well.
