Bronze Door

I really love the classic aesthetic of Bronze Door! They have a nice cocktail menu with unique ingredients. I ordered the grey goose shrimp and penne which was a nice portion and very flavorful. My friend ordered the stroganoff and honestly we both felt hers seemed more like an appetizer portion and definitely looked like it should have had some more carrots and spaetzle. Our server was very friendly and gave suggestions for the menu. My only issue was when we had cashed out and were getting ready to leave, she came over and said she didn't charge my card the full amount and didn't give much explanation, just said I owed $16 more dollars. I thought this was strange and a little off-putting that my card didn't get charged properly the first time... The highlight of the whole experience was the lemon cream cream cake for dessert- PHENOMENAL! I would definitely come back for drinks and dessert!

This was our first time visiting the Bronze Door. We had looked up the reviews prior to visiting the restaurant and liked what we saw. The building was quaint and gave off a fine dining atmosphere. We were quickly seated and greeted by our waitress Candace. Our waitress Candace was efficient and polite which helped and made our meal more enjoyable. After reviewing the menu, we discovered that the menu the restaurant currently had was not the current menu listed online. Not a huge deal but definitely changed the dynamic of our meal. I ordered the jalapeño drink which was pretty good, while my husband stuck with a coke. We ordered the Artesian garlic bread, the southern fried chicken sandwich, and the patty melt. The food was all very good and worth going back for. For desert we ordered the crème brûlée and the lemon mascarpone cake which were both delicious. Overall we would return, but would check for an updated menu to make sure the items we wanted were available for that time.

We came to this location around 5pm on a Friday night. I was surprised by how empty it was. The restaurant was bright and inviting. The bar was pretty busy for happy hour but almost all tables were empty. Our server Austin was very nice and personable. The food was fast a delicious. The short rib on both of our short rib dishes were very tender. The mushroom soup reminded me of a vegetable soup, very rich but delish. My husband said the pork chop was one of the best he's had. Definitely a place to go for dinner!

This was one of the few places that had last minute NYE dinner reservations available, so I decided to give it a try. I felt confident knowing that this is one of Joe Vicari's places, because I've never had a bad experience or food at any of his restaurants. I also have fond memories of this place, as I came here often between 1988-92 - but I can't remember what it was called then, and it's driving me crazy - so if anyone out there can answer this, I'd be grateful! We were seated in the bar area, which was perfect because we were able to watch the Wolverines lose to TCU on one of their TVs. Everything was excellent - the delicious food, attentive service, and chic ambiance were all what I've come to expect from one of Vicari's restaurants. The stroganoff was amazing - I have to say that the spaetzle was better than I've had at actual German restaurants. No lie. I only have two complaints: that bread isn't complimentary - I mean, $6 is no big deal, but I've never had to pay for bread at a high-end restaurant before. I don't understand that. It's good bread, though. My other complaint is that their cocktails were too strong. Some people are ok with this, because you know the bar isn't shorting your drink, but if my drink is supposed to have strawberry or lavender, I want to taste those flavors - but they were drowned out by the alcohol. However, the bartender was more than happy to fix it to my liking. Other than those two minor issues, I was very pleased with everything at the Bronze Door. I'll be back :)

First and foremost: the ONLY reason this restaurant receives 5 stars is due to the unbelievable, outstanding, charming, attentive server Teaira (sorry if I'm misspelling your name)! We were a small group of four and unanimously agreed: best service we received in a very (very) long time! Food. We all ordered a different dish and two thought it was very good, the other two gave it a so-so. Ambiance nice, restrooms clean, supportive team: attentive. Again, when you go: be on the lookout/ ask for Teaira, she'll elevate your experience and truly take it to the next level!!!

Tonight was our first visit to the Bronze Door in Gross Pointe Farms and everything about it was outstanding! Our server Grant was attentive, professional and personable! The ambience was nice and quiet. We ordered the lamb chops and chicken picatta and both dishes were excellent! Will definitely be back! Thank you for the great service!

Very nice Happy Hour at a Tall Top in Bar area . Good service , tasty expresso martini and very reasonable Happy Hour food menu . Big positive change from a couple years ago. The hostess was most accommodating.

I'm not sure why the service is always poor. It takes about 20 minutes or more for someone to approach the table and ask if you'd like something to drink. The food is good but the service is sub-par.

Beware of Bronze Door. They do not honor your dinner reservation if you make it online. I used their Open Door reservation system on their website and I received a clear confirmation by email that my reservation was accepted. They called me 2 hours before my reservation to tell me they are completely booked! That's really crappy. I will never go there again.

The hostess is rude. They had no seltzers and couldn't make an expresso martini. The food for the prices were just mediocre. The only good thing tonight was our server. Spend your money elsewhere.
