Wow, what an amazing venue. We came to celebrate an anniversary and we were treated very well. We had a private room and the staff were very attentive. They allowed us to decorate which only added to the ambiance. The food AND drinks were delicious which I can find the pictures. I had the blueberry lemon drop and the ribeye with all of the sides. No one had any complaints and the honoree was pleased as well. If I find the pictures, I'll add them later. Thank you read more

Came here the other afternoon while visiting the area. My bf and I ordered the beef Wellington bites, the sweet and spicy cauliflower and then the ahi tuna sandwich to share. Overall everything was just okay. We didn't like the beef Wellington bites, but liked the cauliflower. It was heavily breaded though. The side Caesar salad didn't have the lettuce cut up and if I would have known I wouldn't have ordered it. I find a non-chopped salad useless and aggravating. The Tuna sandwich was our favorite. It had lots of flavor it was good. The fries it came with wasn't. Would I come back to eat here? Likely not. read more

My husband and I ate at Sullivans last weekend with his parents when we were in town for a hockey game. Be warned if you are staying in the hotel, it is a separate liquor license, so you cannot bring drinks from the hotel bar to the restaurant. We learned that the hard way (totally not a big deal, and we probably should've thought of that ourselves!!). We had a reservation, and were seated promptly. We were also treated to glasses of champagne for the table while we were looking over the menus. I was the only one of the four who did not order a steak. Instead I ordered the salmon, but our server suggested that if I like fish I might like the Chilean sea bass instead. I took his suggestion, and am SO GLAD I did!! Everyone's steaks looked great, but the sea bass was cooked absolutely perfectly and served over a bed of Bok choy. It was a really good sized piece of fish, and was light and fluffy, but perfectly crispy on the outside. I'm going to be dreaming about that meal! One steak not cooked correctly, but replacement was relatively quick. The other two had no complaints. Two had also ordered sides, which were also great! One was potato and the other asparagus. Somehow I forgot to take a single photo, regretfully. But the atmosphere was really nice, the food was great, and many thanks to our server Austin for the recommendation on the fish! read more

After a long drive, it was the perfect, welcome time to chill, eat, and unwind -- and thanks to their thoughtful seating, we were able to watch the women's short skate at the Olympics right from our table, which made it even better. The crab fried rice was absolutely delicious and unlike anything I've had before -- packed with flavor and totally unique. And the blackened salmon... YUM. Perfectly cooked, beautifully seasoned, and just all-around amazing. read more

Sullivan's Steakhouse took over the old Roast space downtown, and it feels like a classic, low key night out. Parking in this area is still a bit hectic, so it is worth coming a little early or planning on a short walk. The mood is relaxed and dimly lit, with a live stand up bassist and piano that really sets the tone. Service was genuinely kind across the board. We started with the cheesesteak egg rolls (3/5) and beef wellington bites (4/5). The egg rolls have a fun concept with chopped filet mignon inside a thin, layered wrapper, but the layers compress with the sauce and filling, turning into a dense, chewy shell that is harder to cut and bite through. The sauces also tend to overshadow the flavor of the meat. The wellington bites, on the other hand, were great! A bit more duxelles than filet, but very good flavor in a light puff pastry, with the only knock being that the sauce was a bit cool and cooled the bites down quickly. For mains, the Cajun ribeye (3.5/5) was a solid, standard ribeye with a nice sear and a proper medium cook. The Cajun butter was milder than expected, so the steak ate more like a regular ribeye with a light seasoning rather than a true Cajun profile. The crab stuffed shrimp (2.5/5) had good, well seasoned crab cake filling but overcooked, dry shrimp, which made for an odd contrast. I added it as a side to the steak and was glad it was not my main. The herb brick chicken (3.5/5) had good flavor on the skin and was cooked correctly, but as a full dish it did not fully come together. Fine, but not especially memorable. The sides were in the same range. The fresh asparagus (2.5/5) was straightforward but slightly overcooked and limp. The brussels sprouts (3/5) were shredded with bits of core, plus bacon and onion. The flavors were nice, but shredding them kept them from picking up the char and caramelization you expect from roasted sprouts. I would have preferred more whole leaves and halved pieces. I loved Roast in this space, so my bar may be a bit higher, but right now Sullivan's feels like a comfortable option if you are already downtown rather than a must visit destination steakhouse. read more

This review gets 1/5 stars merely for the table side tossed BLT salad, which we enjoyed. Otherwise the service started shaking with the hostess, Susan, somewhat recouped with our server, Diego, but then fell to the bottom ranks with the manager, Chris, after we told him about our less than stellar experience, which resulted in us opting out of ordering entrees. We deserved a top tier customer service and professional driven dining experience, just elsewhere. When our party of four arrived, the restaurant was basically empty with minimal tables full. We were led past the entire front dining hall to the back dining hall in a dimly lit, basically dark booth (which would have been hard to read the menu and we were close to the kitchen, and across from a fireplace that was not lit). I asked to be seated elsewhere due to dark lighting and Susan moved us to a booth in the front dining hall that was well lit, and we were happy. To our surprise, the hostess was wearing some casual brown winter boots with her all black attire, which did not fit the dress code or aesthetics of what we would expect at a "steakhouse." As well, some of the employees, many, were wearing Lions jerseys, and again, I am all for Lion Pride, but we thought this was going to be an elevated dining experience. As well, there is a dress code policy framed at the hostess stand. We were dressy and festive for the holiday, as we were celebrating our annual Christmas gathering. Time came to order and all seemed well with Diego as he greeted us with enthusiasm. Somehow he made the mistake of bringing one guest a nonalcoholic beverage, and when she shared with him the drink tasted like pop, he somehow thought she requested a virgin mojito (she never mentioned nonalcoholic). No problem, she requested a margarita, which unfortunately was missing ingredients and looked clear as a cloudless sky. Another guest from our party took the drink to the bartender this time and the bartender agreed the margarita looked none the such, and she requested they make our friend a Lavendar Limoncello, which I was drinking (and was a great cocktail, something we knew was safe). When the drink arrives at the table, it is NOT the Lavender Limoncello, but another margarita ---BUMMER, and yet another less than favorable touch point of the dining experience. Time to order entrees: we had already ordered and eaten a couple apps and bread and we were hungry for more. In the middle of us ordering and asking Diego questions, he decides to cut me off mid sentence and tells us he's going to give us more time---he walks away! It was in this moment after several bad encounters with this place, we decided that our service would be best suited elsewhere, a restaurant that actually wanted to pride themselves on service recovery and a polished dining experience. We flagged down a man who appeared to be the manager, Chris, and it was solidified after speaking with him that we made the correct decision to leave and never return again. When she told him that our experience was "less than favorable" and we would like the bill, Chris never asked any questions, shared an apology or opted for any service recovery. As well, by this time, the dining area was full of Lions fans since the game was ending--everyone in casual jerseys, hats, caps, etc...things listed as faux pas on the dress code policy. I pride myself on accurate reviews, and this one was longer than usual because I needed to fully describe our horrible encounter. Sad. read more

Great hotel restaurant in the Westin Book Cadillac. The happy hour is also good. I love the smoked cocktails presentation in a smoke box. While the steak entrees are pricey, they are worth it and the lobster add ons are delicious. I also loved the flavored butters for the steak. Service isn't always the fastest but I've been there a couple of times where there is good live music which makes the time pass faster. read more

I walked up 30 minutes prior to closing. Hostess told me they were no longer accepting any additional guests. I said I just wanted to have a drink at the bar. She told me I couldn't do that because they were shortstaffed. Staying at the Westin hotel that's connected. Was planning on having dinner here tomorrow, but will not ever visit again. Terrible experience, train your people better. read more

I took my boyfriend for his birthday and 5 months later we still bring up our waiter in conversation. Walter if I could put you in my pocket and take you to all the restaurants with us I would! Your professionalism, extensive knowledge & kind soul just made our night and his birthday so special. The food was outstanding, dim intimate lighting & a very close parking garage for being downtown. 10/10 recommend for a special occasion read more

Service & ambiance were great. Food was edible at best. No sear on the steak we got. Asparagus is in season so it should be thick & tender - we got tiny, shriveled, & tough. We went there for the Dynamite Shrimp Roll & Wagyu Bone-in Strip Steak - they were out of both. No cherries in the Shirley Temple (celebrating a 12-year old foodie's bday). I do not recommend & won't go back. read more

Time it takes food to come out. Took and hour for 3 apps, 45 mins for soup and salad after. My entree came 45 mins after that. Tomahawk steak came out over cooked after I was there for 2 and a half hours. Food itself, outside of the overcooked steak was phenomenal. However, after speaking with the manager nothing was done outside of taking the steak off. I will not be returning. read more

We visited here on a whim and what a great choice we made. The food was excellent! The lobster tail was large and succulent. The steak cooked perfectly. The crab fried rice is to die for! The asparagus was delicious and crispy enough but not too crunchy. The drinks were not only pleasing to the eye, but pleasing to the palate. Kay went above and beyond with the service. This place is exceptional and we will be returning whenever we return to the area. read more

I didn't eat here but we did definitely do some drinking here. We sat at the bar and while I had a simple beer, it was poured nicely and presented well by the bar staff. One of my friends went all out and had a Smoked Old Fashioned. It's hard to believe such a thing is possible but then he had a second. Here's the deal. Mix up an Old Fashioned the usual way - sugar cube, bitters, bourbon and orange peel. But this is where it gets crazy. The bartender put it inside a wooden box that had one glass panel. Hooked to it, a machine that lit a small fire and filled the box with smoke. And it's brought over so that you can open the box to remove the drink complete with the smoke. What? Yes. It's a top-notch fancy restaurant and you'll definitely impress your date here. [Review 1026 of 2025 - 485 in Michigan - 24580 overall] read more

Appetizer was lobster bisque soup, which tasted like it came out of a can of tomato sauce with fake lobster flakes sprinkled on top. Service was horrible took forever to get our drinks. We got our Appetizer before our drinks, crazy. Next after getting our drinks I had lamb chops which were so small I couldn't believe it. Added a side of lobster fried rice which looked good in presentation but tasted horrible. Next I ordered blackened salmon which was decent with a side of lobster mashed potatoes which was really thick and dry with no flavor. Ambiance was nice we were across from wine cellar in a booth with privacy curtains to make the experience more intimate with my spouse, but the food and service was horrible. I would stay away from this place, not worth the price!!!! I wish I could give zero stars read more

This is a good steakhouse if you need a place for a business lunch or simple date night. My server was wonderful, but some of the other wait staff could be a bit unprofessional with their language and topics of conversation, which was not ideal. The food itself is good, my steak had a bit too much fat on it for my liking, but it was cooked really well. read more

This has got to be a joke! Mother's Day dinner totally messed up. My wife and waited at our table 2.5hrs for our food. After watching several others leave. Then when they brought our food they brought out a bad horrible smelling steak that was also smelled by the people behind us. We complained and after perhaps 3hrs by now the manager finally smelled the steak, said he addressed the chef, then relieved us of our bill and my wife and I at 10pm at night on a 7pm reservation had to go home hungry for a Mother's Day dinner. I will NEVER return, will NEVER recommend, that was absolutely terrible... they dont deserve 1 star, & with the audacity to be a higher end dinner establishment. That mess was garbage, and smelled like it. read more

Trash! Hostess, Susan had on dirty Ugg boots did not feel like a steakhouse at all. Ambiance gave local bar restaurant. Service was poor. I do not recommend. I am highly disappointed. Would not recommend. We even told the manager, Chris and server, Diego that it was less than stellar service and they didn't even ask why? Just trash! read more

Awesome steakhouse that has excellent lunch options - I got the ahi tuna sandwich and you can swap out the fries for sautéed spinach or Brussels sprouts. Moreover the soup (lobster and shrimp bisque) was fantastic, especially with crackers. Their iced tea is also excellent, and their dessert - I got the key lime pie, a selection from a wide menu of items - was also amazing. Service also exceptional, the server was very attentive and constantly checking in. Finally, the atmosphere is super stylish, ritzy and cool, boasting a very cool bar. Highly recommended! read more

We checked out Sullivan's for their Happy Hour! They have some great options on the menu. I ordered the tuna and my friend ordered the sliders. They have a nice select of wine, beer and cocktails on the menu. I thought the prices were great for Happy Hour. I will most certainly be back to try one of their famous steaks! read more

I came there today with a reservation at 6:30pm by 7:30pm the only thing I had was drinks. Also had to complain about the glasses being dirty. By 8pm still no food on my table waitress comes with $10 off a lunch card but why is it so slow. Complained to the manager didn't seem like he gave af either! Parked across the street $40 just to still not get food. Me and my husband kindly left and will not be back! Was also told by the host. " well some people have been waiting on food for 2 hours" what does that even mean?? That's not cool at all 0/10 wouldn't recommend it read more

Ok, I stayed at the Westin and decided to head down to the bar/ restaurant for dinner. I ordered the calamari which is a Signature dish of their's it was nothing to brag about. I ordered the shrimp and lobster bisque it was okay. Ruth Chris is better at least it was on the day I went, Thursday. Overall it's okay for a safe place to eat, if you're a woman and don't want to venture out alone. read more

What a beautiful open space. I love my greeting while entering. It made me feel very welcome. Even though it was just a few people there to dine. It didn't make me question why.

This place is a joke! 30 min to get a drink after the order was placed. The gin and tonic was not drinkable. How hard could that be?? The Chilean sea bass was cold in the center and it was dry.

We had a mixed bag experience here for dinner. What we loved that I would be thrilled to get again: ANGRY SHRIMP Jumbo Shrimp, Sweet & Spicy Sauce, Plum Wine, Fried Rice 24 MARKET FRESH GREENS Gluten-Free Item Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes, Gruyère, Shallot-Dijon Vinaigrette 12 WAGYU BONE-IN STRIP* Gluten-Free Item Snake River Farms, ID. 18 oz 82 ASPARAGUS RISOTTO Fresh Asparagus, Lemon Cream, Grana Padano 15 We also had a bottle of Sokol Blosser "Estate" Pinot ($90) which was quite good as well. What I wouldn't get again: NEW YORK-STYLE CHEESECAKE Graham Cracker Crust & Fresh Strawberries 16 Service and Ambiance: Our server, while super enthusiastic and helpful, had not been properly trained. We had to ask her for many things and even teach her how to open a wine bottle. The live music was quite lovely, but we had a really hard time hearing the singer. It's unfortunate that she didn't have a place set up for her to sing. Had we been able to hear her, I would have really enjoyed my dinner. Would we come back? Maybe. I loved my steak so much that if we were to come back I would be happy to eat there again. I won't seek it out intentionally, but if someone wanted to come here for dinner, I wouldn't say no. read more

This was an absolutely horrible experience when our family went.

We went here for my birthday and before a show - our first time at Sullivan's. Unfortunately, we were sat between a live three piece band on one side and a wedding reception on another side, so it had a tendency to get loud especially when the drums kicked in. We had standard appetizers. I had wedge salad and he had a shrimp and lobster bisque. It was quite odd to pay extra for bacon on the wedge salad. I never had to do that before. Aside from that, we ordered a NY Strip steak and the salt-crusted baked potato loaded. The steak was ok. The potato was VERY salty all around just as it says. The salt basically dried out the potato, so the loaded part couldn't be tasted. Ask for the fixings on the side so you can scrape off all the salt. There is a ton of it. They gave me a slice of cheesecake for my birthday which was nice. We arrived a bit early ahead of our reservation. We had a show to go to and the service was a bit slower than we anticipated, so we had to rush to get to our show even though it was two hours after our reservations. We waited quite a while for various items. The food was ok, not WOW great. I know this is a newer restaurant and a chain, but I think it needs to tighten up everything if it wants to be an upscale restaurant like all the others that are coming into the downtown area. There are many restaurant options in Detroit and this one may not be on our list next time. read more

Came today for a birthday lunch. Plenty of tables free but we were sat right next to another table. No bread . Wedge salad? Don't bother. My filet, ordered medium rare came out medium/medium well. Potatoes and steak very salty. Coffee ancient - when I asked if it had been made fresh, server said the boss made coffee "in the morning" - it was 2:30. The free birthday dessert was supposed to be a chocolate raspberry cake but other than some dried up sauce under the cake no raspberry. We were sat right near the host stand, so constant talking, constant phone ringing. A flimsy screen separating the vestibule from our dining area fell over twice. The bill before tip $335. Valet parking $25. The server was pleasant but slow. We were looking forward to a nice birthday lunch. We realized there would be an expense, but the quality of the food and the poor ambiance weren't worth the price. read more

First time experience was less than desirable. I would not recommend, it started off with our waiter not putting in appetizers that we ordered and then the cuts of meat we ordered not being cooked correctly and being sent back twice. The environment was loud and the service was less than desirable. The only thing that was nice is the manger took off one steak after it was sent back multiple times for not being cooked right. read more

This is about as mid of a restaurant as you get for "high end" steakhouses. . In town on business and I Sat at the bar for dinner. The bar service was top notch. Great bartenders. I live in Dallas so my expectations for service and food quality are extraordinarily high. The bone-in cowboy ribeye was as bland as I've ever had. It was served Luke-warm to hot. The loaded baked potato was served lukewarm-warm (at best) and I sent it back. The potato was still firm on the inside so it was obvious they didn't cook it long enough. They brought out another Luke warm potato but I was starving so I didn't complain and just ate it. Granted it was a Monday night so maybe it was an off night since they are not so busy. We have Sullivan's in Dallas (I don't frequent it) but I don't remember a bad experience at the Dallas location. Great location with lots of potential given it's attached to the Westin hotel, but the food quality completely missed the make and I wish I had dined somewhere else. read more

The slowest service you can imagine. Took us 30 minutes to get wine and 1-1/2 hours for food. Out of multiple items on the menu. This is my second time here about 10 months apart since staying at the hotel and it was the same experience both times. Would definitely look for somewhere else to go if you can. read more

I visited Sullivan's Steak House in Detroit last night with one of my girlfriends. We were waited on by Kay who was nothing less than Amazing.

We will definitely be back!! Thank you Sullivan's for an incredible experience!! read more

Stopped in for lunch. The restaurant was empty so the waiter was very fast in greeting us. I ordered lump crab cakes with Napa slaw and lobster bisque soup. The soup wasn't good it did have nice size lobster pieces but lacking in taste. The crab cakes were tasty and the slaw pared nicely with them. Service was great our waiter was very friendly! read more

I wish I could leave zero stars as I never got to eat. I feel bad for the many other people that were also turned away on Valentine's Day, including me and my wife. Utterly ruined our entire evening as we could not recover because every restaurant within a 50 mile radius was completely booked. We ended up having to eat at White Castle.... Now I can excuse the excuse of our kitchen was down as I know this is what these people will say but they cannot excuse. Was I called six times before arriving just to let them know that we were going to be five minutes late even though we arrived exactly on time and they kept hanging up on me when we arrived to the lobby. They claimed that they were making calls out to everyone to let them know and we did not get a call... so my point being is there's no excuse for them to not sit there and have one person to at least answer the phone to let patrons know there was a problem.. read more

They were out of the first 3. things we tried to order, Wellington bites, Oysters, baked potatoes. Then we ordered 3 filets; 2 were actual filets and the 3rd was something totally different. We ordered to au gratin potatoes and macaroni and cheese came instead. The manager comp the incorrect filet and Mac and cheese but after a $300+ dinner I would never recommend this place to anyone. read more

Great service!! Blah food! Great ambiance and possibly romantic but not too dim. For the price point the food could have been more flavorful. The lobster bisque had a canned taste, the salmon was subpar. The Mac and cheese was decent and the crab stuffed shrimp were good. This was my first higher point meal while traveling to Detroit and I left feeling unsatisfied read more

This was a disappointing meal and pricey. The broth in the French onion soup was not rich, quite boring. The rack of lamb was okay, but not very tender. The char on the lamb made for dry meat on the surface. The bread pudding was not warmed up. They had no de-caf coffee. There were no paper towels in the restroom, and the floor was sticky. For being the primary restaurant in a high-class Westin hotel, this place is mediocre, and the service is slow. read more
