Came here after an event nearby. Our waitress was great- very friendly and even brought us out a plate that said Happy Anniversary when we told her we were celebrating. I ordered a gin Collin's and requested light simple syrup. It was prepared as requested, and I enjoyed it. We started with the spinach and artichoke dip, which was absolutely huge! It was flavorful, and I liked the pita bread versus chips. For dinner I had the pasta in New Orleans, but requested it with garlic butter pesto sauce, instead of the cream pesto sauce. The waitress told me that the modification was no big deal and she would let the kitchen know. Again, that came out as requested, and it was delicious. Even the bread basket with whipped butter was good. To add to all this, there was live music. The music was not overly loud, the guys voice was very smooth, and it added the perfect addition to a nice night out. Only thing I'd say is they need to switch up their signs. We were excited to try the late night happy hour advertised all over outside (9pm-12). However, they said it wasn't offered Fridays. A little misleading. read more

I want to love Fishbones - but I don't. Every time I go back I tell myself it's the last time I'll go. We made a reservation for a large group (20). Put down a deposit for said reservation. Arrived. Were told half of our party needed to be present to be seated. (Then what was the $100 deposit and reservation for?) Once we had 10 waiting in the lobby - we still had to wait to be seated. The place was empty, since it was early. Weird. The menu is very limited for anyone gluten free (with the exception of sushi sans soy sauce). There were bones in the fish and chips (strange), the salmon was dry. It was loud. We were celebrating a birthday. Which we informed at time of the reservation. At the end of the meal they brought out a large plate with the words Happy Birthday in chocolate sauce (written very nicely, I must add) accompanied by two squirts of whipped cream, a spoonful of strawberries in syrup and a birthday candle. It was kind of silly. (But still worked.) The high chair was filthy and loaded with large crumbs. Here's the deal - I'm not really a complainer. I mean it sincerely - I want to like (even love) Fishbones. It's close to home. The bar is kind of cool. The outdoor bar area is casual and friendly feeling but the food is mediocre at the very best. And too pricey to be so mediocre. That said - our servers were great and sweet (once they finally got to us - which took quite some time). The fact that they don't split bills in this day and age of apps is backwards. (One bill per table and a max of two cards per bill seems like some arbitrary rule.) Heavy sigh. Unless I'm invited to a post-funeral luncheon or something there, I won't be back. Edited to add the photo. read more

Fishbones - The positive: the writing is neat. The negative: the rest of the whole thing - ridiculous. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Saint Clair Shores, Michigan

Great vegetarian options and great sushi. Everything is consistently fresh and well prepared. The veggie rolls and salad choices are solid, and the hot dishes come out exactly how you expect every time. Sometimes you do have to call in reservations, but it's super easy and the staff makes it quick. Reliable spot we keep coming back to. read more

I haven't been to fishbones in a long time but I was in the area and decided to stop in with my cousin. It was about 10pm on a Saturday night and the sign outside stated they had late night happy hour. However, once seated at the bar our server said happy hour isn't offered on the weekend. I started with the Lion's sushi roll. It was very fresh and ready quickly, I ordered the snapper beausoliel. Blackened snapper with sautéed shrimp in a butter sauce. It was served with mashed potatoes and green beans. It was all bland. With salt & pepper the green beans and potatoes were ok. The fish and shrimp tasted overcooked and rubbery. There was a live singer performing which made the experience better. I'd never order the snapper again but I would visit Fishbones. read more

I was impressed by the atmosphere food and service. Crab cakes and coconut shrimp appetizers were the star. I ordered the catfish po-boy and it was good flavor but the bottom bun was soggy(my fault bc I didn't get it deep fried I subbed blackened). My husband got the snapper. Fish was delicious. Bread basket and garlic butter were delish. Live music on Friday night. We will be back read more

Everything was very nice this evening. Spencer was amazing as always. The service is always right on time. I had the surf and turf special. The lobster was amazing and the steak was good as well. Just a little overcooked. I'm looking forward to coming back. read more

The only thing I ever eat here is the sushi. Love the seaweed salad and the spider roll. If you dine in, the hot rolls and garlic butter are pretty great also! read more

Hung out at Fishbone's 7/4 at the patio bar. Very cool outdoor space. Had a couple sushi rolls, the spicy scallops and tempura shrimp were very good. Service was slightly lacking but nothing too crazy. read more

Came here for friends birthday dinner at 9pm on a Thursday night. The atmosphere was good. They had live entertainment and it wasn't too busy to seat us. Our waitress who was also a bartender was superb! Very kind and attentive. I tried the fish and chips, would have thought the portion would be bigger, but it was ok for the taste. My friend ordered the braised short rib and that was good! Our favorite part was the complimentary bread and their garlic butter! read more

Went to Fishbones twice for New Years Eve. We went for dinner and started our night there. After eating we met up with some friends elsewhere, then came back for a drink nightcap and listen to the band. I'm a sucker for Fishbones. I love this place. We started our dinner with a sushi roll and a sushi pizza. My wife loved the sushi pizza. To me, it's just a big California Roll blob, but to each their own! We both ordered an entree of braised short ribs. They were devine! I even tried to cut it with my spoon, and the short rib fell apart before I could even give full pressure downward with the spoon. Such a delicious dish! read more

Had the Firecracker Roll late on a Thursday night. For food and ambiance I give this place 5 stars. My roll was excellent and did NOT fall apart as I picked it up. Very tasty! The bread basket was good too. The Sushi guys did a great job. Our waitress was for $hit. If there wasn't an automatic 18% gratuity, I would have given her 10%. Drink and bread service was great. When my roll arrived I asked if she was sure it was a firecracker. It read that it was fried and no cream cheese. By the looks of it, I thought it was not my order. She said to me "I'm sure that's a firecracker." I asked if the white stuff was cream cheese. She said yes. I hate cream cheese on a roll and when I ordered I was sure to notice if there was cream cheese on it. She said "I'll check with the kitchen, they only have been making sushi for over 20 years." WTF, she's the one that said it was cream cheese in the roll. It was white fish not cream cheese. During the meal she did not return to our table. It seems the table next to us was irritating her. She explained so to my table when I went to the ladies room. Too bad so sad. No drink refills for me when the one of the two tables your serving sucks! On another positive note, the bathrooms were nice. :) I will return for the delicious sushi! read more

Believe it or not, I had never been to Fishbones until recently. I would say the experience was just average. Our server was very nice and was knowledgeable about the menu and was able to answer my questions about gluten free items. Service from the kitchen was quite slow despite it not being very busy. The was was ok. First we started with a spicy tuna roll. Kudos for having Tamara but the roll itself wasn't good, something about it didn't taste like tuna and it was very low on spice. For my entree I had the Faroe island salmon. The salmon was perfectly cooked and had a nice crust and medium inside. But the food was so salty it was almost unbearable., and I mean all of it, the salmon, the green beans and the potatoes. Someone in the kitchen was very heavy handed and sadly that was off putting. I think it would have been a decent meal if it wasn't over seasoned. read more

This is hair , embedded into the breading for their zucchini appetizer . I couldn't be more disappointed, because we spent our time to go here and after showing the manager they did remove this from bill but honestly we were so disgusted by it that we stopped eating immediately and left our other app 3/4 the way un-eaten but paid ,because we wanted to leave ASAP . Waste of 90 mins of my life and money just to have a belly full of some random persons hair , never going back and I've lived in this city for 26 years . Just can't believe they would ask for $23 after that happening to a customer . read more

Great early Happy hour! 2:30-5:30 Monday-Friday. The drinks, cosmopolitan and margarita made by Nick were well done. Service was quick and informative. There are a few tasty appetizers: the Saganaki was as good as anything I've had in greektown. My neighbors had the Catfish beignets and enjoyed them. The restaurant is New Orleans friendly, very comfortable atmosphere. read more

Beautiful restaurant but terrible service, if you're looking for soggy food enjoy. If your looking for a job i'd watch were you leave your belongings. my girlfriend got treated horribly there the time she worked there and we just got a text months later saying they have her purse and when we picked it up, the hostess stole her stuff and packed it full of mints and tooth picks. (note) one of the hostess is the daughter of the manger there. read more

Stopped in for a business lunch. All went well. food was great and they had gluten free friendly menu. I had a gumbo and burger

The photo speaks volumes as it to pertains to the owner of said establishment. Who would want to spend $ in his pockets w/a smart ass comment as such, not me. Service is slow, staff has no etiquettes, perhaps the owner can invest in some courses for not only themself but for employees, he has the spot to do it and it would be good for the generation that works there, so sad how slow they move. I grew up in a world if you're just standing there doing absolutely nothing maybe grab some paper towel and do some cleaning, perhaps the splotchy bathroom mirrors because that place sure could use some dusting. Sadly the south end of SCS has gone South, originally an east side no longer and so glad I'm not. This place is a dump !! read more

Fishbones - The owner or whomever speaks for for business, their reply to previous review - Sushi Bars Near Me - Saint Clair Shores, Michigan

This restaurant charges a mandatory 18% with only four people in attendance . Taxes are applied after the 18% service charge (which is really the tip). That is an unfair practice. And then there's a box for an additional tip. Kind of an insult to injury. The waitress was excellent and I probably would've tipped her 20% but I didn't appreciate the tax after tip. read more

Great rolls Great gumbo Great jambalaya Great alligator Great sushi Great saganaki This place has something for everyone's pallet! It's like having our own Cheesecake Factory but with better wine :) Service is always extremely friendly and it's a big main bar with TVs for sports surrounded by cozy dining space for more of an intimate vibe. I can't wait to go back! read more

Oh my what a disappointment. I came back to visit Michigan with fond memories of Fishbones downtown Greek town location. I could not wait to order the legendary Alligator Voodo and Pasta Orleans. The alligator didn't disappoint as it was fresh and crispy as I remembered. However, when the pasta came out the sea and fishy smell hit us before it got to the table. Anybody knows that if your seafood still smells like it is swimming that means it's past it's due date! That it should be on the table! It was very pretty to look at, but the whole plate reeked! For it only to have shrimp, crawfish, and crab in it.. I was waiting for the whole Little Mermaid cast to jump out and start singing to me! Not to mention the crawfish leg I almost choked on! YUCK! read more

I can't begin to describe how wonderful the server, Demetra, is. I've known her about 3 years as only a semi-regular customer at this location and she really treats me like a friend every time I come here. Attentive, quick, and... actually remembers details about my life! She doesn't even have to do that last part and yet she does. I might add she gives this same kind of attention and care to other customers. When I say "Love ya, babe," I mean it, Demetra! read more

I came here for the first time today for lunch. I really enjoyed the food. My catfish po'boy has large, crispy pieces of fish on a sub-like bun with tangy remoulade sauce (mayonnaise-based). The fries were great: crispy on the outside, pliant on the inside. The coleslaw was the white sauce type, slightly sweet but not overly so. Our server was friendly, informative, and patient (our party had a lot of catching up to do before we ordered). The room was comfortable but a little cold. Bottom line: good food, recommended if you are a fish or New Orleans fan. read more

Fishbones seems to have found its groove again post-COVID. We've had some mixed experiences the past couple of years but tonight was excellent! They were packed and staffed to handle it. We had sushi and it was great! Our server was Elliott and he was very attentive and our food came out quickly but paced so we could finish our salads first. They add an automatic service charge of 15% which he was kind enough to circle on the bill so we were aware of it. We then provided an additional tip. He was great! We will return soon! read more

I had my 70th birthday dinner at Fishbones in StClair Shores Mi on Saturday February 15th. I had 34 family and friends that RVSP me that they were going to be there. I reserved a room for my event. We had a great time there. The food was great all my family and friends enjoyed themselves. The management at the restaurant was professional, friendly and courteous. If I have another event I will definitely consider Fishbones in StClair Shores Mi. read more

We came in on Mother's Day and surprisingly, were seated immediately. Our server, Molly, was an absolute joy. The ambiance was everything I expected (well, except for the live music that we missed). The food was SPECTACULAR! I tried something new this time (the Seafood Jambalaya) and he had the grilled chicken with potatoes and fresh grilled veggies. Thank you for yet another amazing experience. Can't wait to return soon. read more

I come here somewhat frequently. I like the Faroe Island salmon and the orange roughy, but the best meal I have ordered was the seared scallops. They were amazing served with lobster sauce which had a very decent amount of lobster. The service is always great. It is not too loud so you can hear what your friends are saying during your meal. Some restaurants are so loud you can't even have a conversation. read more

The Shrimp & Grits were 10/10! Packed a punch, but the grits cake really leveled out the spice. The bacon cream sauce was super tasty. I also ordered oysters for an appetizer and they were lack luster, barely any meat for the price... So appetizer was disappointing but the main course definitely made up for it! read more

Ya'll, I try to be positive always, but my group and I had to speak up about the way we were treated by the hostess at Fishbones in St Clair Shores. Because of the owners reply, we will NEVER visit the shitty establishment that has gone downhill significantly again. I didn't even mention that the food was not good. If you don't want to be treated like this, go elsewhere! There are a million other BETTER restaurants in the area. read more

I haven't been to one of these in years. Since I was just down the street at the Eleanor and Edsel Ford House, I decided to try again. Being a member at the Ford House, I got 10% off my bill. Both the lunch and regular menus are huge with choices for everyone's taste. Even my extremely picky ex husband could find a few choices. I am trying to watch my weight so I just ordered a tempura shrimp roll and a salad with ginger dressing. Both were very good. I also got a bread basket that went home because I was more than full. I ordered a piece of carrot cake to go which was also good and big enough for 2 dessert treat after a meal. Service was great. Refills for my diet Coke came when needed and a take out one at the end of my meal. With my discount my bill was under $25 even with my good tip. HINT: being a good tipper always get the best service for regular customers. Both EBS and I always did/do that and always works. Since the Ford House is without a place to eat until next fall, I will be back each time I come over this way and look forward to trying the Southfield location soon. read more

The food was honestly not good. We got 2 different appetizers and 2 different entrees between the 3 of us and the best things we had were the bread and the fries. As far as the service, I got 1 refill, the rest of my party had to ask for more water. The waitress seemed like she was having a bad day or something, she barely checked on us throughout the hour we were there. At the end of the meal, when none of us wanted boxes and had plenty of food left nobody even asked if we enjoyed the meal. Then we found out 15% gratuity was built into the bill. I can't recommend this restaurant. read more

So I love the fact that they have a separate entrance for carry out, the bread with the garlic butter was great and that was the only positive part of my food. I ordered artichoke and spinach dip with lobster and it looked like a science experiment. Because they put it in a container and never browned it like if you sat down in the restaurant. It looked weird and they should have been embarrassed to serve it. I put it on a baking dish and browned it myself. It tasted good with seasoning I put in it. The seafood gumbo made me gag when I tasted it. It was like an undesirable gravy flavor. I mixed the rice from the bottom and it was 10% better. I called my son to eat it. I know gumbo is not supposed to taste like a challenge to eat. read more
