The Motown Bistro - Detroit

While the experience was overall 8.5 on a 10 scale; was taken aback by spending more on 3 drinks than one entree. Did enjoy the fact that our server was highly attentive even going as far as bagging our meals and providing extra condiments. Definitely will go back just with a bigger budget ?

The food at the restaurant disappointed me as it was served cold and tasted unpleasant. Moreover, the temperature inside the establishment was uncomfortably warm. Unfortunately, I had to wait for an hour before my food arrived. Although the music was decent, the volume was too loud. It is worth noting that the restaurant expects a 20% gratuity, which seems excessive. Additionally, there are extra charges incurred when paying by card. Based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant and will be looking for an alternative option for my next meal.

Unfortunately my husband and I didn't get to be served. They set us at a table, and took almost a hour just to ask us “what would we like to drink”? No appetizers or food was put in either. We watch people that came in after us get served. It sucks, because the restaurant did not seem bad and the Jazz was good. I've heard good things about Motown bistro that's why I decided to give it a try, but everybody experiences is different.

Overall ok. The menu listed on the website was not the same as what was presented at the actual restaurant only about half of the menu from the website). There also appeared to be new price increase. It was extremely hot inside, they had fans in some areas not turned on, when we asked to turn them on the server advised that the strings weren 't long enough to reach : Service was very slow especially considering there were maybe 2 3 tables filled when we arrived and it took forever just to get beers and soup/salad. I 'll cut them a break on the entree delay as my husband ordered a 50 oz. tomahawk steak which took 40 minutes to cook. Overall the food was mediocre which was unfortunate as this restaurant seemed to have potential. I do like the live music aspect. However, while the pianist was talented, he played no Motown style music just Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett style music.

The menu at the restaurant is significantly different than what is posted online. No surf and turf. No crab legs or lobster. We actually asked if they accidentally gave us the lunch menu because it was so small. The service was absolutely awful, waited for water, drinks (which were warm mixed drinks , waited for ice for our warm mixed drinks, waited for the bill and boxes. The food we ordered was delicious, but not what we had come for :
