   We we here celebrating my husband’s Birthday and it was fantastic! This was our first time at the restaurant and it didn’t disappoint! Everything was wonderful from the piano player, coat check, our server Katrina and the food! The food was delicious! Chef’s kiss! The atmosphere was inviting and it was nice looking out at the water while dining. Katrina even bought my husband a piece of the coconut cake with a candle for his birthday. We will surely return again soon.

   We made our reservation in advance asking for a booth by the window, we have been here for my daughters 16 birthday and that experience was outstanding. This time for 19th birthday was such a bad experience my daughter was embarrassed to tell people. We arrived on time, we were seat away from the window (asked for window seat) when asked about my details of my reservation I was told “sorry we try to accommodate the window for bigger parties “( had 3 people this time but only 2 for my daughters 16) there were 6 unoccupied tables by the window. We were there for three hours only two were filled. We were seated in a very busy area where everyone walked by guests servers waiters and waitresses. The waitresses was making small talk to us we don’t care about. She already knew we were not happy. This just made our visit uncomfortable. We ordered soup and sushi, our entree were two steak dinners and a past dish with seafood. Appetizer: The soup (calm chowder soup only had vegetables and bacon in it where are the clams, our waitress asked about the soup so I let her know this is all vegetables and bacon she was not concerned. Our appetizers came separately. Why ?????We had to wait for the sushi. The table beside us were seated in an hour later than we were and ordered same sushi ( our waitress was not great either) their appetizers were served before ours, same sushi we ordered. So my daughter says looks like we are the bottom feeders, will be served last because we complained. We waited for our meals, my meal was pasta with seafood, the clams were dry and so was the top of the entree. The manager for our section came over and asked us everything okay and I showed him my entree how everything was dry. He again didn’t care was not concerned and was very rude attitude because we complained again. So by this point we were being targeted because we complained about our seating complaining what we are being served. We were being discriminated against cause we complaine

   Overall this was one of my best experiences ever. From walking into the door, to leaving everything was as you would expect it and as advertised. There was a stunning waterfront view from anywhere you sit. The staff is on top of their game. I’m certain I didn’t see a single person standing still the whole time, but there was no rushing, it was all elegant. Our glasses were never close to empty. Our waiter Jessie was consistently on top of his game making sure we were happy. The food, the food will make you weep in happiness. You would be missing the experience of a life time if you don’t give Joe’s a visit. Thank you for helping my wife’s birthday be a success!

   Service was absolutely sub-standard and I’m fairly certain that the 20% gratuity was added to our party of 4 because the waiter knew we weren’t happy. After being seated we waited far too long to meet our waiter and get a drink order in. It was 30 minutes until those and fresh bread was served. Service wasn’t at all intuitive. We barely saw our waiter throughout the meal. I had pre-ordered my second drink for delivery after finishing my first drink, but that never happened. I had pre-ordered a dessert for the birthday and they did deliver something, but it wasn’t a lava cake I discussed in advance of the meal. The food was average or slightly above average, short of exceptional which it should be for the money spent. I had high hopes the Detroit location experience was going to be better than our last awful experience in Bloomfield Hills, but unfortunately this was not the case. Having a beautiful view doesn’t excuse not knowing how to give five star service when you’re charging five star prices. Being delivered an invoice with 20% gratuity added at the end of the meal and never being advised of auto gratuity was completely inappropriate. I understand this restaurant due to its location gets a lot of inexperienced and cheap diners and that this could be appropriate to apply to large parties, but it absolutely wasn’t deserved or appropriate on our party of 4 who ate and drank $500 worth of food and beverage. Your waiter at best deserved half of this amount. Would not recommend either location at all and feel this brand should be ashamed of their abysmal failure to deliver an expensive meal with appropriate service.

   Joe Muer Seafood - DetroitResponded on January 30, 2023Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We deeply apologize and can assure you this is not our standard of service. Regarding the 20% gratuity, it is stated on the menu, so all diners are aware of this upon paying for their meals. We will be sure to discuss your feedback with our waitstaff to ensure service is attentive, always.

    King crab superb. Shrimp are huge if you’re a shrimp lover. Service was exceptional. Wait staff was Uber attentive. First time visiting for my birthday. Definitely need to be prepared for higher than regular prices. The view of the river is the best.

    Celebrated my wife’s Birthday. Great night. We were seated next to the window overlooking the River and Windsor, Ontario night lights - Enjoyed terrific Sushi roll. Over ordered with salads as well - then followed with entree’s (Scottish Salmon and Swordfish.). To top it off the restaurant brought out a small coconut cake birthday plate for my wife. Wonderful, efficient service. While always a little pricey, it was something we have done in the past a couple times a year, and something we will continue. MAB Sterling Heights

    Forced to pay 20% tip for a party of 4, even though there is no policy stating that anywhere. In addition, they state that they can not reserve a specific table in advance for anyone, no exception. 100% False. They do, and they did. Upon arrival they refused to give us a window table per our prior request, even though many window tables remained unoccupied for over 2.5 hrs because they were reserved for "special" people. The treatment did not feel right because they seem to prefer some customers over others. The manager was very blunt stating that: "if you don't like this table then you can leave", and when I asked her to clarify, she said "I don't have time to explain and argue". Never experienced such lack or hospitality and professionalism.

    Excellent service, ambiance. Waiter was very attentive & personable. Enjoyed the piano player. Food was very good and we were pleasantly pleased by the portion sizes. This was our first experience here (for my husband’s birthday), and we can’t wait to return. FYI, book in advance if requesting a window seat — great views right off the Detroit River (especially at night).

    We did not know about their extremely strict dress code. They graciously seated us in the bar area. Food was good. Calamari was consistent with chewing a rubber band. I was amused with their “strict dress code”. My perception was a tacky place that wanted people to think they were very upscale. I wish I took pictures of outfits…camo jeans, a hoodie and athletic shoes, khakis and a wrinkled button down and athletic shoes…I will not continue. So their “jacket” preferred policy was humorous. I would not return mostly for the mediocre over priced food. Service was exceptional and they were friendly. I give the restaurant a 3 star.

    Excellent spot for lunch or dinner downtown. More upscale than most but prices are reasonable. It was nice to sit and relax at a table with the extra touch of a table cloth. A luxury not seen often these days. Our food was excellent, including beet salad, Fish tacos, Fish and chips and the best Oysters Rockefeller I've had in years! Service was top notch and we had a great view of the river. Parking in the structure 50 feet from the restaurant entrance was convenient and only $6 with the validated parking pass from the hostess. Highly recommend.

    Long story short, was 30min early to reservation to find the restaurant closed. They were having “kitchen” issues. General manager was not helpful or accommodating. Seemed like they wanted people to leave rather than help and make things right. Finally was seated after 45min late and food was just ok. Seemed like food I would have been served at a chain steakhouse. People were not dressed to their code, ripped jeans, tennis shoes and barely covered women. Very sad and frustrating when paying a lot of money. If it’s truly true people eat with their eyes first, Joe Muer might need to relook their chefs and management. We would never recommend this restaurant. I normally don’t complain but this was very disappointing service and management didn’t seem to care.

    Our waiter Jesse was fantastic, the food was beyond amazing. My only complaint was the hostess. I had made the reservation a month in advance, and had specifically asked for a table by the window overlooking the water. She refused to give it to us, stating that there were large parties coming in, they were going to require all the booths by the window, and even a section that had small tables by the window. that did not happen while we were there. I made my complaint known to the manager, Mike, and he was fantastic. Although he didn’t get the table we requested, he made it right, and I would definitely return.
