Diner Reviews

"We were delighted with the atmosphere, surprised that the place wasn't packed, and blown away with the amazing waiter "John" and the food was so incredible we can't wait to go back!"

"My wife does not normally like to go to Greektown Casino with me, but if we're going to eat at Brizola, she looks forward to it. Our most recent dining experience was a great adventure, as we discovered a wonderful new crab appetizer and a deilicious new "Michigan-made" wine. The live music was very enjoyable and the service was fantastic. We are already looking forward to the next time we can dine at Brizola."

"Brizola was very good. The waitstaff was pleasant, but our main waitress was fantastic. The restaurant is expensive, so just walking in from the casino you may be in for a shock. There was no smell of smoke at all from the casino . I had a delicious veal chop and spinach. The wedge salad feeds two people, it is huge."

"You are not going to find better Service ( Especially if you have Tom, Lisa or John serve you). They always make you feel comfortable. If you have special needs or requests in Dining, the Chef will always work with you. Thank You for your consistency. Bill"

"we ordered the "special" Halibut dinner and the Halibut was wet and mushy, They took it back and brought out salmon that was not cooked. We have gone there MANY times and this was worst...the server and busser told the manager and he did not even come to the table. The waiter Sami told us they have new cooks.. these cooks should go back to school"

"The bone-in rib eye was fabulous! The house salad was deliciously interesting. The waiter was a consummate professional. I'm surprised the restaurant wasn't more crowded on a Saturday night. "

"The food was so good and the wait and bar staff were amazing. If you go you have to try the pork belly! It is so tender and delicious. The drinks are reasonably priced and good!"

"My husband does all the cooking at home, so once a month I like to take him somewhere nice where the meals would be different then the ones we have at home. We chose Brizzola this month and we're happy we did! Right from the start it was fun to be able to see pictures of the food you were about to order on the notebook menu. We shared the Duck Crisp appetizer, which we loved! We each had a generously sized salad and for an entree, I had the Fillet Trio while my husband enjoyed the Halibut which was a special of the day---both delicious. For dessert we shared the Chunky Monkey ice cream sandwich and that was the only thing I was over-the-top about. We're happy we chose Brizzola for our montly dinner out!"

"This restaurant was amazing all around, but stunk like smoke and had to walk through a smoke filled casino to eat there. i was put off by it, but this place is seriously a cool place if you don't mind smoke."

"Everything was overpriced, and way to salty. Spend the same money and eat at motor city restaurant."

"second time there, first time steaks cooked badly, second time lettuce in salad sort of wilted hard and my wifes salmon was not up to standard . She had had salmon at Longhore 2 days before and yours did compare to quality, taste and cooking."

"Great food Great service My only criticism is you could smell the smoke from the casino."

"My friend and I had wanted to visit this restaurant for several months and finally had the opportunity. We were both somewhat disappointed in the seating. The booth we were seated at was very uncomfortable. The wine was ok at best. The crab chowder was excellent. I had the Halibut which was mediocre and my friend had the trio, which was lamb, scallop and filet. He was pleased with the selection. The waiter was very attentive and pleasant. The view leaves a lot to be desired as you are looking out at another building, unless you sit right at the window, which then I do not know what you see different than the other building. Overall, it was a nice restaurant, but for the price we have been to better. "

"ONCE AGAIN WE WERE TREATED TO A GRAND EVENING,THE MANAGER,STAFF &THE GREETERS WERE ON TOP OF EVERYTHING. FOOD &DRINKS WERE TOPNOTCH. WE WOULD RECOMMEND BRIZOLA TO EACH &EVERYONE."

"Our visit to Brizola was accidental. I was under the impression that they participated in Detroit Restaurant Week, but it turned out, they did not. The restaurant still offered an amazing menu special for $40 for the DRW-goers. We received an amazing service from Tom, our waiter, the food was delicious from an appetizer, through salad, to main course and desert. Try their French Onion soup...to die for. My Fillet was tender, juicy and tasted fantastic. The whole meal was a feast with a great service and made it for a memorable evening. We will come back again. "

"This reservation was for Detroit Restaurant Week. When we arrived, we were told that Brizola was not participating, but that they would put together a meal for us- $40 per person, not the DRW $30. Our server, John, was fabulous as was his assistant, Dennis. The manager, Frederick, visited our table and explained that Brizola should not have been on the DRW list and perhaps I had been looking at last year's list of participating restaurants.The food was excellent and the service as well. I did not like walking through the casino to get to Brizola.The casino was very smokey and there was no restroom in the restaurant and I had to go back into the casino to use it.Although the food and service were good, we will probably not return."

"Brizola is an upscale restaurant in the Greektown Casino. The food and service was excellent. We had 2 issues. First, the aroma of cigarette smoke, drifting in from the casino, was annoying. Second, we booked through Open Table for Restaurant Week. When we arrived we were told that Brizola was NOT participating this year. How did this error occur? According to our waiter, a bad link from Google. My issue is that I specifically mentioned in booking that this was for Rest Week and the restaurant could/should have called and told us. We were not the only ones,also according to the waiter, & were offered a modified Rest Wk menu, but with fewer options, which did not satisfy most of our table. We spent far more than we had planned."

"Me and my wife enjoyed our anniversary the service was great. Thanks for making my special day wonderful!"

"This is a very expensive establishment. Check the menu out before you go. Prices this high should inlude a salad and a side dish."

"From the Front desk to the back room it is always top rate. Continues to maintain the position overall of one of the Best in Metro Detroit. Would like to see a Valet Scanner outside the entry door to Brizola to reduce the Excessive wait after dining and then picking up your vehicle."

"Easy to use iPad menu. Nice contemporary ambiance. Good salad selection and flavorful. House wine selections all had good flavor. Ordered chicken. 2 pieces came on the plate. Breast (moist and flavorful) and thigh (fatty and greasy). At $30, for just a plate of meat, I expect better quality than what was served. Very disappointed. Didn't order dessert."

"My husband took me here for my birthday. The food was great, but the service was not. We had reservations but still had to wait about 25 minutes to be seated. I'm not sure why as the restaurant was not crowded."
Dined on 3/29/2014
"We arrived early for the reservation, about 20 minutes and were told we would be sat at our exact time, which is fine. We left and went to the casino bar for a drink. When we came back, we were made to wait another 10 mins while they "prepared" our table. It took another 10 minutes before we got our menus and another 5 minutes before the waiter took our drink order.... As you can see the theme of the night was wait, wait, wait. The food was decent, even with the appetizer mess up, but the overall impression of the restaurant was poor. The meal took 2 and a half hours not because we were lingering over our meal, but because the service was incredibly slow. I expect better service and great food for the price of the meal we received."

"I was called earlier in the day of my reservation to confirm my request of a private table of to the the side was able to be accomidated. I thought that was outstanding. When I arrived with my date we sat at the bar for about 30 min., they were slow and the bartender could not remember our drinks. At first it was kinda funny but after awhile it became anoying. When we were seated it was not the table the confirmed with me earlier in fact it was on the other side of the resturant. The other tables were open the entire time. The waiter was friendly but not very efficient. The steaks were very good but the sides and apitizers were very poor. I made the reservation here for a first date and wish I could do it all over again. Not a good choice!"

"My fiancé and I were told from a friend that Brizola was overrated, but we don't listen to what others have to say, we judge for ourselves. We went on 3/22/14 (Saturday) I have to say from the food, to the decor to the ambience everythjng was superb. The noise was moderate and I can actually hear my fiancé talking. TOM LUKASIK was our waiter. He is phenomenal!! Tom is very knowledgable. We will definitely be back and will always recommend Tom as our waiter."

"On the road from good to best. Initially seated across from loud noise from bar area. Staff immediately repositioned at request and advised a happy hour event. Staff should have selected one of the many open tables at first seating. A steak was brought to the table rare though medium was ordered. Upon acknowledgement by wait staff both meals were replaced. As well as side dishes. Nice touch. The second steak still too rare but acceptable. We declined an offer for complimentary desert for the inconvenience. Summary. Another visit is worthy but not another steak."
Dined on 3/22/2014
"I go out to dinner very often. Seated quickly, but then no one came to the table for 5-7 minutes although restaurant was not busy. First glass of wine brought out was from a long opened bottle by taste. New bottle of same wine was much better. Food was under cooked across the board, both my steak and my guests scallops. Rib-eye ordered Medium was red and raw in the middle, Scallops ordered medium plus, were still translucent and not easily cut with a fork. Management was not apologetic to mistake. Our server was good. Hostess personnel was not accommodating to table location request, again even though the restaurant was not very busy that evening. Overall the food, service, and hospitality was sub-par, let alone matching the price."

"this is our 6th or 7th time at BRIZOLA-as usual the food service and ambience were superb we would recommend the wait staff TOM LUKASIK our head waiter in closingwe will continue to patronize BRIZOLA."

"WE had a wonderful dinning experience. The wait staff was GREAT and the food was wonderful. We went there to celebrate my parents 45th wedding anniversary and 2 birthdays as well and the employees went out of there way to make it special. Thank you so much and I will be back again as this was my 4th time and everyone else it was there first."

"I wouldn't have gone if Michael Symon's Roast wasn't booked up. Brizola was sparsely populated for a Saturday night. Food was pretty good, but everything else was just OK"
