Food and service and the ambiance was great, wil recommend to everyone such good food

Five of us went to Z's Villa before a show at the Fisher Theater. We found a table right in the middle downstairs. The restaurant is rather small, and it has the feeling of an English Pub. I had the fish & chips. It was 2 large pieces of battered fish, served with a roll, crinkle cut French fries, and the best cole slaw I've had in a long time. The portion size was good, and I'm glad I only ate half of it there so that I can enjoy the other half later! read more

We tried this place out after a visit to the Detroit zoo. I am not familiar with this area but it felt very safe. The restaurant has its own parking lot which was a bonus! You can eat indoors or outside. We opted for indoors on this day. We were greeted right away and got a cute table for 2. Our server Josh took great care of us. He had our ice cold beers on our table in no time. He recommended the sampler as an appetizer and it came out nice and hot. I ordered the Slim Jimmy with fries. My husband ordered off of the specials menu and it was a Russian Reuben. Everything came out delicious! It's a nice cozy place and we would love to return. Josh did a great job. Very friendly and efficient. Give it a try! read more

Z's Villa - Bars Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Alright, let's talk! Z's Villa has some of the best waitstaff. They are always running back and forth getting drinks and food to your table fresh from the kitchen. This is a perfect location for a pre-musical meal because it is so close to the Fisher Theatre. The second floor is a good spot for group dining. There are plenty options on their menu for every palate. We had so many different entrées. Everyone said their meal was delicious whether it was the World's Best corned beef sandwich or to the Marinated skill fajita combos (chicken & steak)! read more

My friends from college and I meet here very often. We always say we're gonna select someplace new but this place has a magnet on us. The meatloaf Mondays is delicious. The food is delicious and the drinks are amazing. I love the atmosphere here. It's like an old house, but the service is impeccable. We probably will not pick any place else. We love Z's villa. read more

Came here for vollyball night as there's a setup behind the restaurant. The food was great, We had 2 platters- both land and sea- Catfish with ribs and the other shrimp and ribs. Food was great though the ribs bit on the fatty side but still very flavorful and fall off the bone. Inside and outside the service was great and prompt. Only thing is the kitchen closes at 9 on a weekend. read more

Went to Z's Villa before an event at the Arena, we went early to avoid a crowd. The server was pleasant but slow moving. Food was average. Well vodka and 10% cranberry juice $9.50, outrageously priced!! That's price gouging at it finest, because of that, we won't be back. read more

Great service and wonderful food! Their trivia nights are super fun and there's ample parking. I also love their outdoor game area.

Came here with a group of folks from a business class course. The square pizzas looked decent. We weren't here for food, mostly for drinks and a social gathering after class. We sat out on the patio. The port-a John's out on the patio is a bit unpleasant scenery though. The patio is chilled otherwise. Prices are reasonable and service was decent. read more

Great variety of choices. I've been here 6 or 7 times and the food has always been good!

Gave them 1 more shot - done ! A waste of a great patio ! NO FAULT of hard working waitresses,staff. Owner - mike? Can kill any type of fun - runs around bitching about anything. 3 rd time here -that they always claim credit card machines are down- really - just say cash only! Burger I had tasted good. Server was funny and good- just can't past the always ANGRY owner - take a breath & enjoy life ! read more

The fish was so good and the corn beef was huge and soooo yummy!! will be going again! read more

Diamond in the rough! Food was delicious and the service was even better. Arthur and Marcus were very helpful and attentive. Menu had plenty to choose from at more than reasonable prices. Check for daily specials too. Nice cozy place. Played Motown music. To top it off, beer was great, workers were super helpful and friendly, and we were brought free samples of an absolutely delicious minestrone soup without having to ask. Awesome vibe to the place as well. *ANOTHER TIME* I thought I couldn't fall more in love with Z's Villa... until we hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner there! The food was amazing and our guests loved the casual night, outdoor games and music. The staff was so kind and helpful, it was literally the easiest thing we did in the entire planning process! It was threatening to storm that night, and though I've held events in their nice private room upstairs, we really hoped to be outside. Steve was right on top of things, and even without me asking, he promised to do whatever he could to have us outdoors. They were ready to move us at a moment's notice, but the rain held, and any sprinkles were combated by the patio tents. The bartenders and wait staff were wonderful, as usual. If I so much as looked around, one of them would make sure I didn't need anything. And Steve even divided our leftovers into different containers so any late night guests could take home a doggy bag with a mix of food. The thoughtful touches were a huge sign of their professionalism and devotion to their restaurant. Thanks again! read more

Food was amazing!! Visiting from SF and haven't had walleye like this before. We also got the pizza and it was delicious. The staff were all so lovely from the moment we stepped foot on the property. The music and vibes were on point too. An absolute must-try! read more

It has been roughly 7yrs going to Z's Villa ...Food, Service was excellent..They have an up stairs to service larger partys..

This place is a gem. We were heading to the Fisher for a show and looking for a quick, inexpensive bite. When I walked in the door I expected to hear the other patrons to yell "norm!", it felt like one of those honey places where everyone knows your name. We were lucky enough to score a table quickly, and the waitress immediately asked if we were trying to make a show so she could make sure she had us out of there. Then the owner stopped by to ask the same. Service was awesome and very quick. Food was great and inexpensive. Will definitely come back in summer to check out the patio. I felt like I had dinner with someone's awesome big family. read more

Had a fun time here, good bar food, and a warm local vibe. The staff was friendly and you could tell it was a neighborhood spot

The fish and chips were phenomenal! Food came out fast and hot! Coleslaw was delicious, fries were cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be returning to try more things on the menu. Very cozy vibe. Our server Wendy was amazing! read more

Went here before a concert at LCA because they have a free shuttle to and from. Ordered the pizza, which was very good, but not mind-blowing or unforgettable. The place is in great shape for being over 100 years old. The ambiance is clean w/ a traditional bar feel, wood everywhere. Since it was originally a house, it has a broken up feel to sit everyone comfortably. Randy, the shuttle driver took care of us as well. He made sure he gave us his # so we could call at the end of the concert. My girlfriend actually traded #'s w/ him as well. We ended up taking an Uber home, and he called us to make sure we got home safe! - Now that's service! Great location to catch a meal before a game or concert - reasonable prices, and secure-ish parking. Now that I know they have a free shuttle, I'll be coming here more often. read more

The godfather left a lot to be desired. The feta and 3 additional cheese pulled me in but it was mostly bread. The crispy wing dings were half Buffalo and half sweet Chilli sauce. Put the sweet chilli sauce as an option because it was literally the chef's kiss. The Buffalo had no kick LOVE THE MUSIC AND THE ambiance I would try a different pizza. The service was good as well read more

This is definitely a neighborhood spot. I gave it 3 stars for the especially small and ill placed bathroom and the very dark, small and cramped decor if you're dining in. It's a popular spot and the food and drinks are pretty good so I don't understand why they don't invest more money into decent seating. Also people are allowed to play outdoor games which is cool ... as long as they don't do it in the middle of the outside dining where they could hit you and potentially cause you to hit them. Server was friendly but forgetful, she had to go back several times for things but she had a good attitude. Drinks were good, food was decent and the prices were ok. Come when it's warm or get it to go. read more

I've been coming here since they were on Woodward and Warren Avenue the food is always good and the drinks are Dynamite see you soon

I've been hearing about this place and have always wanted to come here. My cousin invited me for some drinks and I was so in. First thing I did was check out what food everybody was buzzing about.. so we decided to order the pizza... The pizza was very good,, the crust was somewhat closely related to the Jets Pizza chain, but the toppings and the sauce was more to the artisan side. Amazing food, great place to hang out and enjoy a pitcher or 2 of beer. Definitely will be coming back here. (",) read more

What a wonderful experience! If you're looking for a great food and unmatched service this is the place. Everything we ordered was presented in a fantastic manner and was so delicious! If you are in Detroit, you need to find this place and go there. Thanks Mike, you really delivered! read more

Love the patio here and the atmosphere. The inside is tiny but the outdoor area is big. It is great on a nice, sunny Michigan day to hang out with the family. Kid friendly for sure with volleyball and other summer games. The patio even let us have our dog in their and provided us with water. The pizza their is pretty good and recommend it. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star us that the service was lacking. However, the place was busy and maybe they felt overwhelmed. read more

Huge salad portions!!!! Got a antipasto salad and a side portion of fries and couldn't finish either. Fairly small location but nice group seating upstairs. Street parking and parking lot available. read more

Tried the YAYA gumba it was okay, good thing they let you get a sample. I had the hamburger with bacon and a side of fries, nothing special to rave about. Next time I'll try something different or the pizza.. I did like that the space out side was very open, and they had heating lamps. Not in a big rush to go back unless someone recommends something ‍ read more

Great little spot with really good food and a great staff and clientele. We cannot wait to return when it warms up and the patio is open!

Z's Villa is a great place to eat before an event downtown. We went before a play at the Fisher Theater. Since two of the people we were with had parked at Z's and my wife and I were parked at the theater, it was easy for us to all take their shuttle they have, over to the theater. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. We did not know about the shuttle until the owner came over and asked if we were going to the theater. We replied yes and he explained how the shuttle worked. They have a great menu and everyone at the table was happy with what they received. I'd love to go back and hang out on the patio. It looks like a great space. read more
