    We went on New Year's Eve, so perhaps the kitchen was unusually busy. The oysters Rockefeller were pretty mid and the halibut was super dry. I am hoping they're better on a different day of the year.

    Veronica was extraordinary! Wine list was nice, recommend the Clos du Napa Cabernet. Music level was a bit loud, but the playlist was good to kick start a Nee Year!

    The food and ambiance were excellent, creating a delightful dining experience. However, the background music didn't quite match the restaurant's atmosphere, and the service fell short.

    Service started good and we asked the server when ordering to bring our bottle of wine when he brought out the dinner. Half way through dinner he finally brought the wine which at that point we declined. After that we barely saw him again couldn’t even get our water glasses filled. When we finally got him back to the table do that we could pay our bill the wine was on it. Service was good up until he forgot the wine then he was invisible but didn’t care as a mandatory 20% tip was added to the bill anyway. Food was very good and fairly priced for NYE.

    Went to dinner there New Year’s Eve just before going to the Red Wings game. My wife and I loved it. They were able to accommodate her garlic allergy. Who does excellent. Service was great. Although who did come a little quicker in the past quicker than we wanted. Ambience was good but the music they played seemed inappropriate for a French restaurant. There’s a lot of hard rock and metal rock.

    Service was just really slow, my waiter seemed distracted and overwhelmed even though the restaurant was not busy. Had to ask for water after we sat multiple times, it took him a while to get back and start us with appetizers and then our entrees. My dates food came out first and mine came out 15 minutes later so our sides had already gotten cold. Everyone at the restaurant was super nice I just wouldn’t be back for the price and the lack of service.

    Although my wife and her friends have dined here as a group before, it was my first time visiting. We started off with the calamari appetizer, followed by Caesar salad, accompanied by bread and butter. For our main courses, we had the Alaskan Halibut and the Salmon, both of which were delicious. We topped off the meal with a Kit Kat dessert. It was an enjoyable experience, and we'll definitely be back!

    Our party of five was hoping to have a wonderful dinner at the Statler based on previous reviews. We did enjoy our cocktails and the ambience. Unfortunately, the food was very slow in coming out and not well prepared. Several of the dishes were overcooked. We will not be returning.
