    Very expensive restaurant for mediocre food. I believe you are paying for the view. Just returned from st.petes beach florida and there is no comparison especially the fish. My daughter had the King crab legs and she did enjoy them. Glad we tried Joe Muers would I return no.

    It had been 7 years since I last visited Detroit. I insisted to my wife that we dine at Joe Muer Seafood. She was exceedingly happy that we did. The meal was fabulous. The service was impeccable. The view of the river was serene. The music from the pianist was superb. We added a longtime friend as a guest at the last minute and the staff was very helpful in modifying the reservation. As our guest told me, “The experience tonight was one that I could not have exceeded if I had planned for a lifetime and yet it happened serendipitously.” I can only hope that it will not be 7 years before we dine again at Joe Muer Seafood!!!

    This was not a positive experience. We had a reservation that was close to the kitchen closing time so between the hostess finishing a conversation before seating us, followed by a busy server we were rushed to order. Our food was good, nothing spectacular, but the real problem was an insanely loud group that the manager refused to address. We didn’t even stay for dessert.

    My Andre came out overcook the first time once it was sent back it came back undercooked. My potatoes were cold when served and my husband finished his meal before my steak even came back I was only discounted 20% and it was my anniversary. It was an absolutely horrible experience.

    We asked for a dessert menu but were brought the dessert cart (with no prices) instead. The "signature coconut cake" was apparently $19 for a medium size slice on our bill (for $22 including the included tip). We didn't ask the price but that seemed very excessive & a bit deceitful with no prices. The server also didn't point out that the tip was already automatically included on for our party of three. The setting was delightful but the prices were excessive for several items.

    First of all our waitress Bridgett really made the night as she was absolutely excellent. We got the seafood tower and 4 of the features for the night. All the food tasted great. I got the rack of lamb for an entree i was a little disappointed as i found out as the night went on they were supposed to carve it table side and mine was not. One of the drink glasses had a huge crack in it. The desert platter had chips in it which was pretty tacky For a bill over 1k the food and atmosphere were excellent but they need to clean up all of the small things mentioned above

    This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and elegant and the staff is also really friendly. They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is exceptionally good, lots of classics and some twists, and for their prices it’s 100% worth it. Mike is the greatest! The piano guy is the best!!

    Excellent restaurant with great service. The seafood is fresh, the salads (especially the Martha's Vineyard) delicious, and the view of the Detroit river is beautiful. Great for just the two of you or larger groups. We were with a group of five and they automatically added a 20% gratuity to our bar and restaurant bills. Not a problem but just a heads up as some might not notice.
