We had a great experience at fish bones, the food atmosphere and service were all amazing our server was very nice and funny!

Not much different than what you’d expect out of a typical American bar except this one serves New Orleans cuisine. When the warm bread hit the table I was excited. Then after I took a bite, I was less excited. BUT when tried my second bite dipped in that garlic butter, that changed everything!! It went from ok to great! The butter flavor was a pleasant surprise that I was not expecting. I didn’t foresee me cleaning out the bread basket before my food arrived, but that’s what happened. I ordered the seafood gumbo to start — this did disappoint. Had this dish been better, I would have given this place 5 stars. It was a giant bowl of rice with some shrimp on top. Please see photos — pictured is how the bowl was presented and what was left after I ate all the shrimp and a little rice. The winner winner for the evening was the crabbed stuffed shrimp which I had to take to-go because I was stuffed from the bread. Unfortunately I don’t have the best pic of the crabbed stuffed shrimp because I took a bite and couldn’t stop biting lol Thus, there are the remnants of what was…just know that it was DELICIOUS!! The accompanying roasted potatoes were great as well, and the vegetables weren’t bad at all. Overall, Fishbones is worth a try!

Fishbone's has been around for a while so it's one of my local favorites. Every time I go, I say I'm going to try something new. I don't. I love their seafood Gumbo & the seafood pasta Orleans. I had Dennis as my server. He was great! He was attentive and funny. The atmosphere is nice. Perfect bar atmosphere particularly for sporting events. There is ample seating and 3 bars! Fridays & Saturdays, they have live music and that is super nice. There is an automatic gratuity added to all bills regardless of the party size. There is parking however it costs and the cost varies based on where you park. Currently, there is construction but the restaurant is still open while the construction takes place.

Wishbone is a great spot in Detroit if you’re looking for good food at cheap prices. There’s plenty of seating inside so you never feel crowded, and they often have live music which gives the place a nice vibe. The menu has a mix of options – sushi that’s fresh and tasty, and the gumbo really stood out, full of flavor and definitely worth trying. A solid place to hang out, eat well, and enjoy some local music without breaking the bank.

I was in Greektown Detroit with my wife looking for dinner, and we came across this restaurant. It’s the perfect one stop shop to satisfy your seafood crave. It’s very spacious, they have live music, and there is a bar area if you want to watch sports on the big screen tv. When the band is not playing there is good back ground music playing not too loud. The ambience was great. As for the 4 out of 5 star for service, the restaurant was not busy but, our waiter seemed distracted. He didn’t performed periodic checks in and we waited a long time at the end to get our check. The nice band that was playing sounded like a record playing. Motown true to its roots. Overall it was a very pleasant experience.

Went to Fishbones before a tigers game. We had never been here before. Wasn't busy. Probably had a lot to do with the extensive construction work going on in greektown. We sat at the bar. Service was great, professional, and friendly. We shared their famous seafood pasta and had the artichoke dip as an appetizer. The artichoke dip was very good and had a lot of flavor. The pita chips were soft but still had a flaky crunch. The seafood pasta, in my opinion, lacked flavor. It was almost as if someone forgot to put the Tony Chachere creole seasoning in the mix. Overall, it was a good experience and we will be back.

We stopped in on a recommendation from a friend while we were visiting town. It was an excellent experience with great food and a wonderful atmosphere. The alligator bites were a fun appetizer for the kids. The star of our meal was the seafood pasta. It was rich and full of flavor. If you are in the area, it's definitely worth a visit.
