Fishbones Rhythm Kitchen Cafe (West) was the recent dinner destination in Southfield. It had been a long time since I dined here. Probably not since the national pandemic shutdown. It is great to see they survived the storm when many restaurants closed their businesses.My book club gathered in their French Quarter private dining room. Everything was nicely setup for us to dine and discuss our book selection. The mounted television also played soft music for us.Our book club host hand everything prepared for us in advance. Our food selection for the evening was chosen and setup by our server. She was excellent! She was also very accommodating for two members that were doing the Daniel Fast by bringing them baked potatoes and veggies. Our spread was excellent and plentiful! We had catfish beignets with remoulade sauce, chicken, Orleans pasta, garden salad, and bread followed by chocolate cake. Our beverage options were in our room and anyone wanting a cocktail could go order one at the bar in the restaurant. The surprise of the evening was the live music which is there every Saturday night. The music was great! Just note the private room is not sound proof so you are definitely going to hear the band. I would love to comeback to really enjoy the band!PSA (posted signs): 18% gratuity is added to all guest checks and 20% for parties of 10 or more; No separate checks for parties of 6 or more. All guests in your party must be present before being seated.

Great service at the bar! My brother recommended this place from his time here in the Mid-90's. The gumbo is fire and so is the crawfish etoufee covered catfish! Tom and Patrick will take good care of you!

Booked a resy online 7:15. All but one entrance was locked and closed. Therefore were a few minutes late, they rudely said they gave away our table and had to wait. Won't see me again. Would give less than one star if was an option.

Fishbones is a staple in the city if you want some southern style seafood or pasta. My go to order is always the catfish with red beans and rice which is always cooked to perfection. The sushi was excellent as usual as well.This particular time was directly after a funeral for a loved one so it was a very large group and they did accommodate all of us for seating because it's a very large space. The 4 stars is only due to the fact that they could not split up our bill nor could we use multiple cards which ended up in the chaos of everyone having to figure out how much to send to one person. Will be back but probably not with a large party.

Ate here for my mom's birthday dinner on 8/30. I ordered sushi and they were out of uni and salmon roe. To dedicate one whole side of the menu to sushi and then not have basic nigiri in stock is disappointing. Hubby ordered braised short ribs and he enjoyed them. We were the only diners in the entire dining room on the sushi bar side which was nice but odd for a Friday night. I wouldn't recommend order sushi from this place again and opt to try more of the Cajun/Creole dishes instead.

Food was just ok...I remember a time when the food was really delicious. Me bread was really good though. The service was really good. They have live music which was nice, I enjoyed. Yes I'd revisit for the chill atmosphere.

We ordered the salmon salad, the shrimp poboy and the sticky wings. The salmon was fishy smelling meaning it was old the walnuts were old. The sauce on wings was ketchup base and had no taste. The shrimp would have was fryed with no taste. The sauce on the poboy was bland. Do not order these items. Also they add in their gratuity automatically that's not cool. Take my advice go somewhere else not down town Fishbones.

Sigh We were a party of four and each one of us was disappointed with our meal. Sad because i used to love this place.Plate one was a burger with fries that was adjust... OKPlate two Orange Roughy that was bland and unseasoned. Plate Three sushi that was brought to us with no rice (we did not order sashimi) Plate four is this shrimp and grits...Let's talk about THIS since it was my plate. Grits should NOT be solid. They should not be hard. They should not sit like this on my plate. The shrimp were overly salty. I understand they are blackened which intensifies the seasoning but this is just pure salt. .Sad that out of four plates over $120 (with mandatory gratuity in place) not one good meal in the bunch.

A classic downtown Detroit staple. I've had only their Cajun food and sushi and those never disappoint. Plenty of seating for any size group. Location is great too, next to casino and walking distance to Ford Field. I would have given 5 stars but last time I was there and seated at the bar service was slow considering the the amount of staff. Service is always friendly

food was excellent, our server seemed as if she was on drugs, shaking throughout our entire service and didn't even know basic items on the menu. most of our table of 6 asked for waters, yet she brought each drink to us one by one, and kept asking us what she forgot. great atmosphere and food but extremely disappointed with our waitress.
