   We enjoyed a fantastic dinner with friends at The Statler Friday night. It was a perfect evening, wonderful service and excellent food. The atmosphere is comfortable and upscale. We will be back again very soon.

   It was our first time dining here. Let me just say our service was excellent, the halibut was the best I ever had. The ambience was amazing and our server went above and beyond. We were originally seated by a party that was enjoying themselves quite loudly but one mention to the server and she quickly accommodated us by moving us to a more secluded location. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. My party of 3 was extremely satisfied.

   The space and staff were lovely but unfortunately the steak was overcooked and tough to cut. The potatoes were mush and had oil and butter dripping in a pool. The bread was hard and they were out of popular items which was disappointing. My husband had the duck and said it was good and we had a phenomenal hazelnut dessert; however, for what we paid, there are other restaurants downtown we know to be better.

   Appetizers were not appealing. Very little dressing on Cesar salad, calamari tasted scorched. My husbands salmon had bones in it and shells from the lobster. Sent back to kitchen, second salmon dish was raw in the middle and full of butter (we drained it into a dish). Manager for the night did not appear to be friendly took a long time to come to the table. Several glasses were broken by a staff member by our table and the staff simply walked pass pieces of glass for 15-20 minutes.

   I suspect they were short-staffed or something else was going on in the kitchen because only 5 of the 6 oysters actually had oyster meat in the shell. Following the completion of that appetizer there was a 25 min wait plus the need to flag down an employee to inquire where our next course was before it came out (despite ordering everything at once upfront). Service was so much more on point during previous visits. The braised short ribs and French salad were amazing.

   The food, ambiance, and service was excellent. Our server was great, and so was the bus boy. Great option downtown.

   Date night in the D!! This is the second time we’ve dined at The Statler. Everything was great each time. Our server was great and made sure everything we needed to make our evening great was taken care of. We both had surf and turf which was prepared to our satisfaction. Overall everything was as we hoped. We will for sure make this a regular stop when we are in Detroit.

    I had an amazing evening with my girlfriend we dined in and had lovely experience up until I had to pay, the waiter kept monitoring us as if we’d run off on the bill. The night was pleasant until then, he turned out to be a nice person but I did not appreciate the continuous surveillance.
