While visiting we came across this gem. Our attire was not up to par but they allowed us to eat at the bar and we were so happy.
The restaurant is very nice and the staff were amazing. The food was the best part of our experience.
We ordered the 2 orders of oyster Rockefeller, lobster bisque soup, 2 orders of fruits of the sea pasta, swordfish entree, filet/lobster entree, along with several amazing drinks . Perfect experience.
The food was so good we asked to see the chef. Chef Mychal a melanin King came out and was humble and made sure to acknowledge his staff during our meeting. That’s a great leader. I’ve been in LE for 27 years and it’s a must we acknowledge our team. Great job on all levels chef.
They will be relocating up the street in the near future but make sure y’all check them out. We will every time we are in town.

Joe Muer Seafood in Detroit is an absolute treat for anyone looking for a beautiful and memorable dining experience. From the moment you arrive, the setting stands out, the calming, gorgeous view of the water creates the perfect backdrop for an upscale yet relaxing meal.
The restaurant itself is stunning, and the atmosphere strikes a great balance between elegance and comfort. What truly elevated the experience, though, was the staff. They were incredibly attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming, going above and beyond to make the evening special.
And then there’s the food, simply spectacular. Every dish reflected exceptional quality, with flavors and presentation that felt truly world-class. It’s clear that great care goes into every detail.
Overall, Joe Muer Seafood delivers on every level. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just want an unforgettable night out, this place is absolutely worth it.

It was my first experience here, and I coordinated a trip to Detroit for my anniversary specifically around coming here. Although the service was good, I’m having a hard time justifying the price paid for the experience. Everything ordered is extremely pricey and all a la cart. We were given a menu with the days specials, what we weren’t given were the prices. I get that this is an upscale restaurant and I was expecting a hefty bill. What I didn’t expect was that the kitchen would not know the difference between medium and well done for my $125 rack of lamb. Waiting for an hour for overcooked AND overpriced food was not on my list of expectations. I will admit that EVERYTHING else was wonderful: the bread service, the appetizers, the soup and salad. The drinks were phenomenal and the seafood is top shelf. The issue with the overcooked lamb took a bit of luster out of the occasion considering the reputation of this restaurant.

There were a few issues with our dishes, but our server was very accommodating. He took accountability and attempted to adjust any issues. The view and atmosphere was beautiful as always.

Honestly, the food here is pretty good but the overall experience was not. We made reservations a month out and were seated in essentially the middle of the restaurant. Lots of window seats open but our 8pm host put us in a less than ideal location. You are basically paying for a water view with mid tier service but upper tier prices. Service was not worth the price point for the food. Again - food was pretty good - I had a good filet but just not worth the price. I would recommend someplace else honestly if you are going to pay these prices.
