This place is so much better with the new owners. Everything was tasty, the perch was the best I've had in a long time. Our server Sam worked her butt off and treated us so well! What a pleasant evening! read more

The hostess scared me when I arrived. The food was very good, but I wouldn't say over the top great. The Keylime pie was much more sour then I've ever experienced in my 50+ years. The initial five minutes were such a turn off, perhaps I enjoyed the food a little less. More details and my first five minutes: We had a reservation for 14 at 5:00. I arrived at 4:45 and asked how to get to the tiki bar. The hostess said she was going there and I could follow her. I said "great, by the way I am part of the 5:00 reservation". She couldn't find the reservation, then said "oh no. You can't go out to the tiki bar. Your party is already here. They're waiting for you.". She actually scolded me. I felt shocked, confused, and reprimanded. It's true that the rest of the party did arrive early. I immediately sat with the group, never making it out to the tiki bar. When I sat at the table, the waiter was already taking drink orders, and I had 15 seconds to decide on a drink. He said he would come back to me. He didn't come back until after all the other drinks were prepared and served. The rest of my group enjoyed it very much. The view of the water was beautiful, and seeing the boats was delightful and serene. I'm curious how the tiki bar is. It could've been fun. read more

Apparently Hook is under new management and it shows. The only reason we went there to eat was because it was SCS Restaurant Week and Hook was on the front page of the Sentinel advertising their Restaurant Week deals. As it turns out, when we arrived, they rescinded their participation in the Restaurant Week deals. A total bait and switch. We had a subpar experience there and won't be heading back. Our server said he was new. What that looked like was him knowing nothing about any of the dishes on the menu when we inquired, him never returning to fill our emptied water glasses, and him letting a smoked old fashioned sit for 15 minutes on the bar before he brought it to the table. It was so over smoked and rancid tasting. I am happy that they remade me a new old fashioned, but even that was like a 4/10 quality. Service was bad. The Rasta Pasta was pretty good, overall, the food and drinks weren't very good either. New management for Hook and we will not be going back. read more

The Hook has a few issues. #1 the parking will literally not allow this restaurant to ever be full. There aren't enough parking spots. I was forced to valet and watched 3 cars leave because they couldn't find spots. I would consider us regulars, but most likely won't be returning any time soon. The first drink ordered was good and made properly. The second was clearly made by someone who had no idea what they were doing. It was crazy our server didn't notice as they looked completely different. The food is usually good but this time my wife's chicken sandwich was pretty bad. She ended up eating half of my meal. I believe there is new management here. Unfortunately, that maybe the problem. read more

Hook - im not hooked . 6 women coming off a boat - mid afternoon. Looking to spend some $ - have early dinner- drinks. 90 degree day. Hostess -said without reservation- outside only, though inside nearly empty. Tacky ! $19 dollar Burger King type burger. No need to return read more

If your looking for lakefront view this is a great location. Food for the prices isn't the greatest. Ordered the poke bowl which was mediocre. Very small amount of Salmon that had decent flavor. Sushi rolls with the abundance of options on menu seems to be they way to go but they are priced in $20-40 per roll which does not Seem to be worth pricing . Overall, wouldRecommend drinks but not food read more

An absolute shame they got rid of their sushi. It was fabulous elevated and really stood out in the neighborhood. Now the menu is so average. Nothing new. Blends into everything else on the nautical mile. No reason to go here now. Please bring back the sushi. read more

Where to begin. This is a destination on the Detroit food map. If you are in town visiting or a resident, stop in for 5-star dining and staff who enjoy their work. Guaranteed a quality evening with a fantastic menu. I was here for a quick grab - so I went with a in-season soup. Their menu is eclectic so no one is left out of a meal option. They do have a seasonal menu until they run out. The interior has a lot of space, and in summer time they have an outside patio for band performances. The kitchen facing dining space is cool if your into that. The bar seating and tables are enough to hold 100 easy. I had the roasted summer squash soup. Creamy, just the right flavor of roasted squash. Everything is hand prepared there is no Sysco main items here. They even ship speciality fish from around the world for special event engagements. Chef Bobby and Chef Mike are wizards! read more

I was craving Fish N Chips so I thought it was finally time to give Hook a try. The ambiance is nice and there's a great view of all the boats in the neighboring Marina. The service was spot on. The food came quickly and there were multiple server assistants to fill your water and meet any other needs we had. read more

In regards to brunch: If you're going to brunch, don't count on the eggs Benedict to be featured. I guess the cook didn't feel like having them? Oddly they also had lunch items like chicken Marsala. This was the main reason we tried it out and they simply said "oh we sometimes feature it and sometimes don't"-- when waffles and eggs Benedict are advertised for brunch it would be ideal to have it no matter what. read more

Stopped in by boat midday. We decided to sit outside at the bar. Most of the tables outside were unbused and dirty. I was underwhelmed by the menu and service. I was surprised there weren't more appetizer or lunch type options for those just stopping in for a drink and a snack. Everything was pretty pricey, and the tiki bar didn't have a separate menu. The one bartender was having trouble managing even though there were only 2 other couples at the bar. We decided not to eat and I just ordered a spicy margarita. It was ok, they use jalapeno syrup and not actual jalapeno's. Finally after getting the bill I saw that he had overcharged me $2 for my already expensive $14 drink - I told him and he fixed it. This is not a return place for us. read more

This place was amazing. We sat outside and were treated like royalty! Our party enjoyed the atmosphere and the staff were amazing! Tina the manager was engaging and spent time talking with us. Alec was a great waiter. We have decided to make this our weekly hangout! Thank you, Hook! read more

The food was great!! Very fresh seafood. The waitress was very friendly. She helped explain the menu to us and gave us entree recommendations. Only downsides were I made a reservation for 5:30, arrived early 5:25 and didn't get seated until close to 6 but walk ins were being seated before us. Also I went there for my mother's birthday and they didn't acknowledge it at all even after mentioning again to the waitress it's her birthday. Overall a great experience with great food. I will be back. read more

Had reservations for New Years Eve dinner 2025 At 5:15pm. Made reservations 2 weeks prior, Been here many times but this time was very upsetting! Seated us out on the cold enclosed patio in the corner covered in plastic and snow blowing in. Terrible ambience and unacceptable! This is supposed to be fine dining! It was awful so disappointed! They said that's all they had!! It was terrible in there! Freezing and dark! Sorry Chef Bobby wasn't impressed at all! $500 dinner sitting outside dockside! Should've just left! Do better read more

Recently (Wednesday) I had the pleasure of dining at HOOK My sister was in town so I invited her to dinner and choose Hook to meet. (Both of us born/raised on East side ... SCS) The moment I (we) walked in we were greeted by a wonderful gal with a smile. The decor; beautifully curated creating a stylish vibe that spoke to why I choose the right spot to be. The ambient lighting perfectly complemented the setting for both casual dinners and special occasions. The staff (all inclusive) truly made the experience memorable, they were attentive, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu(s), they went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was enjoyable. Best for last, the MEAL Chef Zach & crew worked harmoniously together, it was nothing short of spectacular‼ Check out my photos, be sure to check out the HOOK I can speak to my meal, the flavors were perfectly balanced and each bite was better than the last, my sisters the same. The cocktails, well "where is the Rum" go check it out!! I highly recommend the Hook to anyone looking for great food and a lovely atmosphere. I can't wait to return and try more of their delicious offerings. Happy weekend and if you don't have plans, I highly recommend checking out the HOOK read more

The place my mom and I wanted to go didn't have a table, so we took a chance based on recent reviews. Wow! What a great experience. Let's hope they continue to work to regain everyone's trust: great service, great ambience, canal-side. One of the best marg's I've had that I didn't make myself. The food was tasty, not your usual flavor combos (refreshing), a little expensive, but what restaurant food isn't these days? read more

The wait staff was not very attentive. After asking for silverware and waiting for 5 minutes, my husband had to go to the bar to retrieve utensils.. Our meals were quite expensive for the small portions we received. read more

We chose Hook for an early weekday lunch. The black Quonset building is located on the wharf, a half mile out from the shoreline. Location signage is small and rather poor. Valet parking is pushed (but wasn't active this day). There were also a few open, free spots along the perimeter of the property. When I came in the floors were still being wet mopped; no greeter was on hand, and the old time rock music was blaring above the blast of the AC. We were the sole patrons. The hostess arrived and showed us to a windowed booth. Nice views of the surrounding marina. Wines by the glass were about $15-$20. Nice pours too. I ordered a Flamed Chicken Wrap which was ample. It included the listed $3 side salad substitute which I ordered in place of fries. The small salad was good, but later I found a more than double selection accompaniment charge of $8 added to my bill. I guess the wait person did not hear my request over the music. That was disappointing. All in all, I was underwhelmed on this visit. read more

Arrived for a birthday at the restaurant at 7:30. Worst experience. Everything we ordered ended up being out, they didn't have chicken or calamari to name a few. Over 2 hours to get our food & some of the apps came w it. Steak was over cooked. It wasn't even busy. I will NOT return!!! The only good thing was that entertainment, singer was great. read more

Was invited to a Chuck Bennett event on a Thursday evening, and the music was just awesome presented by the Boddum Line Band. We danced, and sang along. I'm hoping and praying I get to enjoy this band on a weekend evening when everyone is not rushing to make it for Showtime. The food was excellent also along with our server Tonya. Please have the Boddum Line Band back so we can dance the night away.​ read more

I went for lunch and thought my Cubano sandwich was quite good albeit a bit salty. The service was not attentive however. No greeter at the greeter station. Eventually told to sit anywhere. Only outdoor seating because of a private event inside. No shade because none of the tables had umbrellas. Food took some time to get to the table. Once it did, no napkins or silverware. Got attention of waitperson and this was corrected. But then when the meal was over, I could not get the waitperson's attention. Eventually got another waitperson to check us out. read more

We had such an excellent experience at Hook the day after Christmas! Shelly waited on us and she was absolutely phenomenal! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was wonderful. I will definitely be going back! read more

Went here on Sunday for my Moms birthday dinner. Started off ordering drinks. Highly recommend the Old Sombrero which is basically a spicy Margarita emphasis on the spicy but in a good way plus I like spicy! Next were the appetizer order which we got the white fish dip, crispy calamari, and the raw oysters. I see why everybody here on yelp has pictures of the whitefish dip it's amazing served with these crispy bagel style chips. The crispy calamari was your standard good calamari with a creamy sauce very good. Only comment/critic I have for the oysters which were very good as well just wished there was a option of the red vinegar that is normally served with oysters replace the cocktail sauce they give you with them and add that. For entrees I got the crab stuffed lobster which was 10/10 definitely recommend. A few of us ordered that and everybody loved it. My sister ordered the diablo shrimp pasta which looked amazing she also said 10/10. I did get to sneak a taste of it and could confirm the claim. My dad ordered the burger which he said he did enjoy as well. The service was good as well very attentive polite and nice.Overall I would definitely come back to this restaurant the only thing I would have to knock would be the wait time for our table. We arrived early for our reservation the table that the restaurant had for us was a booth. For a party of 5 we wanted a table so that is on us but it did take the staff about 15 minutes to get the table ready not a huge deal just a little nit picky. read more

Allow me to say, I have never been treated so poorly by a general manager of a restaurant. I informed the waitress that my fries were cold, after requesting his presents at my table of 8, numerous times to address multiple issues with the food he reluctantly came over. In conversation he stated my fries weren't cold the container was warm and he tasted the fries and the were warm. Two out of the four pasta dinners were also cold as well as the coffee. There was no empathy shown. We drove over an hour south east for a birthday gathering. We were treated last than. Everyone that was seated at that table were unsatisfied with their experience. Over 90% of my party are very influential individuals, unbeknown to them, bad mistake on their part. read more

Went for the first time after seeing the chef featured on local news several times. The aged NY strip was excellent and prepared as expected along with good asparagus and potatoes. The baked cod was tender and flavorful, but the risotto that came with that was bland, bland, bland! We were disappointed that there was NO draft beer because the tap was down, they were out of calamari we wanted and the menu was fairly limited after seeing so many featured recipes on television. Ambience and service was great but overall experience was just meh. read more

If I could give 20 stars, I totally would Despite the negative reviews I've heard, I came with my patience but my experience was nothing short of amazing and I feel they deserve some love. Any new restaurant has their kinks, which I'm sure they may be working through, but they are doing a wonderful job. I can honestly say nothing was short of flawless; from the food, service, to the ambience, everything was exceptional! I had so much fun taking pictures of the place because it is beautiful! After seeing it was Tiki Tuesday, my friend and I decided to go on a whim. Valet parking is complementary, and there was a fantastic live band playing! They also have a mid-day happy hour during the week. There was no wait and we were seated around 9p, and there was plenty of seating available inside and out. We sat on the patio where we got the full view of the band and marina. There were no bugs the entire time and they even had the patio lights off, which was a benefit! Nicole, our server, was kind, attentive, and helpful with the menu. I ordered the Catch 75 cocktail which had elderberry liquor. Just the right amount of sweetness and was easy to sip! We shared the crab cakes, chicken Milanese and fish and chips. First of all, the food all came within 10 minutes of ordering and it was hot and fresh. WOW!! Starting with the crab cakes.... OMG. OMG. I will be dreaming about them until next time. Do yourself a favor, forget the price for a moment and just order them. I have had many crab cakes and these were PACKED with real crab. The sauce and spiraled radishes paired with them were super tasty! The fish and chips were heavenly. The haddock tasted like extremely fresh quality and the batter was crispy and light. I, personally, do not care for heavily battered fish and this was PERFECT. The chicken Milanese was crispy, juicy and packed with flavor! My friend said it was so tender, and cut like butter. It was paired with a delicious salad drizzled with balsamic... I could eat that salad for lunch every day. Didn't get dessert this time, but the key lime pie and crème brûlée are on my list. Hook is a spectacular, waterfront gem, well worth a special night out! read more

The food was good, and plenty of it for the price. The sushi had pretty fresh, and dint have the fishy taste at all. The crab cakes were my least favourite, they were kind of bland with strong fishy taste. The battered fish piece was huge and soft. The service was my favourite part, we went on Father's Day without reservations and our server did amazing. The place is huge with plenty of seating. The outdoor seating area was slightly dirty, and too many may flies. read more

Filthy! This place was awful. Tables left dirty un bussed. Had to bus one of 10 empty tables outside and no one around! Inside was worse when they give you a menu that is dirty and ragged on the edges like it was just picked off the floor . The place was empty on Friday afternoon at 4:30 and we had to wait 10 minutes for a beer. No staff dirty, Total Dump never going back. Time for some attention and a definite management change read more

When you go to a tiki bar and ask for a pina colada and they can't make you one ... what????? No frozen drinks. I love frozen margaritas. We were served napkins that were used as hand towels in the rest room . Time to step it up. 12.00 a cocktail is a very pricey . read more

We decided to come here for our family dinner. The food was very good. It was a little loud so I didn't quite hear our waitress. Also I didn't love that they only had high tops available.

Met friends here on a Friday night at the beginning of the Mardi Gras. They had specials for this event to include shrimp and crawfish with dirty rice- very tasty dish! And of course- I jumped ahead to the meal. I forgot to mention the lighting inside and decor is somehow warm and clean. We stopped at the bar while we waited for a table and had a dirty martini- they made both gin and vodka! Delicious blue cheese stuffed olives! For dessert we had a flaming bread pudding that was delicious- of course with a great presentation. Looking forward to a return visit! read more

The staff was very accommodating, and the food was good.

Hook - The Seafood Bucatini - Seafood Near Me - Saint Clair Shores, Michigan

First time here with our friends. We reserved a window table for four and was told th was not a problem. When we arrived we had to wait for the hostess to, what appeared, find other guests tables. When the hostess took us to our reserved table it was not at a window. When the hostess was told of the reserved window table she said it was not reserved, that there was nothing she could do and knew nothing about our reservation. So we were seated right under a speaker playing loud music. I asked our server to please have the music turned down, he said he would request it. After 15 minutes he came back to the table to go over the specials i said the music was still playing loudly he said he would go ask again. When he came back a third time I was told the man was busy I said I didn't care how busy the man was the music need to be turned down, he took our dinner orders. Apparently what I said must have helped as the music was lowered. The food was good but our orders were incorrect, my wife's was wrong and while the 3 of us did get correct orders my wife didn't get hers until the rest of us were almost finished with our meals. Our server told my wife her meal was half off, which was nice and apologized again for the wait. But it doesn't end there as one of our friends meal was also wrong he said nothing and ate the meal. Ok so you think the bad stuff was over, NO! When we got our separate bills they were wrong, my friend had mine and my wife's appetizer on his bill. My wife's salmon dinner was listed as a chicken dinner. Good luck Hook. read more

Service staff was good. New employee trying her best! Ordered a filet w fries Fries came near end of finishing filet. For the price of a filet streak, at 52., one steak was not done as requested.
