"Fancy restaurants do fancy things with plating but please keep practicalities in mind. The salad I ordered came with the various salad components in neat little piles on the platter. It also came with a gigantic piece of Iceberg lettuce (another issue in itself). This wedge was so huge if I'd tried to cut it up, it would have fallen all over the lovely white tablecloth. Not something I felt was appropriate for dining with two business clients. So I left intact on the plate. On to the salmon that accompanied the salad. It was probably the worst piece of seafood I've ever had; crusty on the outside (was it fried?) and totally dry on the inside. Really? A high-end seafood place? And Iceberg lettuce?"

"Well she wanted to go and we were not disappointed. With the river view, lots of attention, a great meal and a little something for the sweet tooth, it was a great evening. Monday night was busier than I thought but we waited for nothing. Highest recommendation. Maybe I will do lunch at the sushi bar."

"After hearing from my daughter about Joe Muer's and having gone to the "old Joe Muer's" I thought this would be the right place to celebrate our 30th anniversary. We were not disapointed!! Starting with our waiter. We placed our complete order with him and he timed it perfectly! Never felt rushed nor did we wait for the next course. The food was very good but my husbands Lobster Bisque was a bit strong while my Mushroom Bisque was delightful. My husband has Scallops wrapped in Bacon (great smoky flavor) and I had the Barramundi on the waiters suggestion. Again he didn't let us down! A bottle of Prosecco with dinner was perfect. After Sambuccas were ordered our waiter brought out a slice of cake with a candle. The perfect anniversary dinner!"

"The service was good, the view was wonderful, and the food was spectacular. So happy the Andiamo Group has brought back this gem to Detroit. It was always "the place" my family would celebrate special occasions or accomplishments. It was sorely missed but so happy it is back! This was my graduation dinner and every bite melted in my mouth (heaven!). I highly recommend the Ahi Tuna!"

"This is a great seafood restaurant serving the freshest seafood you can get in Detroit, bare none. Be prepared to pay top $ for a good martini ($15) glass of Malbec ($12) 1/2 dozen oysters ($15) and $3.50 for a cup of coffee.
The view and service are excellent.
Great place for a special dinner. Bring extra $."

"We celebrated my wife's 50th birthday with dinner at Joe Muer.
We often frequented the old Joe Muer restaurant on Gratiot, the restaurant now located in the RenCen overlooking the Detroit River did not disappoint us. We had the same "great" experience. A great evening of food, service. Our meals of lobster tail and blackened catfish were great.
Joe Muer actually came by our table and we reminisced about the Gratiot location and how the owner of Andiamo's influenced his decision to open the RenCen location. We're happy he decided to re-open the restaurant. Again, we had a great time."

"Joe Muer Seafood is the first restaurant that comes to mind when I want to make an ordinary occasion, extraordinary. Whether celebrating that special day, creating a memorable moment or just meeting a long time friend for lunch, you can always count on Joe Muer's to take it over the top! From the ambience, that takes your breathe away; the spectacular food, that exceeds expectations; to the service, that makes you feel like royalty, you'll long remember the experience."

"A lovely meal with fine service, in a room overlooking the Detroit River and Windsor, Canada. Began with Ceviche and Scallops all Muer. The ceviche was fresh and beautiful. The scallops were perfect - buttery, succulent, perfectly prepared and top notch quality. Tasted 3 soups - New England Clam chowder, lobster bisque, and a wild mushroom cream soup. All were very good, well prepared, not over seasoned, and full of flavor. Entrees were a red grouper that was very fresh, and a king salmon. Like the best wild salmon there was a milky white between the flakes. It was overdone, which was the only misstep of the night for this wonderful restaurant. A terrific place to dine, with beautiful views, wonderful fresh food, and fine service."

"Wonderful restaurant. You will not regret the choice. It's a little pricey but just as in life... You get what you pay for. Ask for Window seating. The view is great and that is where the restaurant seems to come alive. I recommend the Salmon. It's to die for."

"Ordered one of their specials of the day, halibut.
With fish being their specialty, I expecting a fresh, firm, mild and flaky fish, was served a defrosted soggy chunk of fish, but with flavor."

Ended the evening with their signature coconut cake---one of my all time favorite desserts. This is not the first time I've been to Joe Muer's and it definitely wouldn't be the last time."

"To say the least I was impressed. I own a restaurant, as a result I look at things differently than most people. Joe Muer is here to stay! Food was fantastic! but even better than the food was the service. Our waitress Alyssa was amazing. I've been to a lot of restuarants and I've been through a lot of waiters and waitresses and I've never been so impressed. I always tell my wait staff that service is more important than the food itself. I have found that the service makes the food taste better. In this case the food was great and the service made it taste even better. Alyssa is going to run her own restaurant in the near future. Mark my words."

"A party of four. We had a great meal! The service was top notch as was the food. It was nice to meet Mr. Muer. He went table to table talking to the guests.
Easy to park with the $10.00 valet parking. A great experience and I'd go back again anytime."

"We asked for a table by the window and were placed by the window, but right behind the piano player, which made it very difficult to hear. I wish we would have asked to be moved to a better seat because what would have been a very memorable dinner, was just modestly OK. Not sure I would return because of this...plenty of other spots were available and I'm not sure who the hostess was holding them for."

"There were certainly some stand out parts of the meal, but overall Joe Muer isn't remotely at the level I'd expect for the hype and price point. It has a very "touristy", almost chain restaurant feel, not a true foodie/gourmet vibe at all. Low points included mashed potatoes that were stretched with instant, moldy cherries in a generic Martha's Vineyard salad, utterly tasteless broth accompanying an Asian style salmon dish, and far-too-sweet key lime pie. Also the server invariable pushed the most expensive wine choices when asked for pairings, even when we said we were familiar with the wines and would like something else (e.g. blah Stag's Leap Cab pushed over more interesting blends)."

"As we have experienced in the past, Joe Muer's is an excellent choice, on the moderately high to expensive side but well worth the price. Service on this occasion was below the high standards, mainly because it seemed the waiter had too many tables to watch. We were in no hurry so the slight inconveniences were just minor."

"Overall I was very pleased. I took business colleagues from Pittsburgh to this resturant and both the food and service was very good. I appreciated that I felt we were being taken care of but that the resturant was not too pretentiuos. I also enjoyed the view and can see that Detroit is really working on the riverfront to make it more inviting."

"We loved the size and openness of the restaurant with its the view of the Deroit River and neighboring Canada. Although a seafood restaurant, it does offer steak and its filet mignon with zip sauce was amazing! Their signature dessert is the coconut cake which was delicious. Their service, too, was outstanding with very friendly and attentive staff."

"Sushi is the best I've had, which surprised me as they beat out pure sushi restaurants that I have frequented.
The Halibut Special was just that....special.
Highly recommend this place for great food, great view of the Detroit River, friendly and entertaining staff.
I'm now a regular."

"One of the worst dining experiences I've had in quite some time. I couldn't decide on any of the entrées from the menu so I ordered one of the specials recommend by the waitress, a 12oz lobster tail @mkt price. When my meal arrived at the table I was excited. The presentation was definitely dramatic. I grabbed my fork to dig in and realized that the fork alone was not enough for the task. NEVER before have I needed a steak knife to cut lobster. Needless to say I was exceptionally disappointed. I ordered oysters as an appetizer and those were amazing but the $85 dollar entrée was thrown in the trash. IF I ever return to Joe Muer's it will be simply for cocktails and oysters. Won't waste my time or money on anything else."

"We attended Joe Muer's for our very first time to celebrate our wedding anniversary with another couple. We had Joe for a waiter who was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. The ambiance was lovely, the food was amazing and the drinks were very much "free poured". We were so full when we left it was hard to walk! My ONLY complaint was that having made the reservations so far in advance (5-6 weeks), and indicating that it was a special occasion I would have been much happier at a scenic view table rather than stuck in a back corner near the servery. We are from Windsor Canada and would have appreciated enjoying our meal with a view of our beautiful city at night! We will definitely be back again in the very near future!"

"It was a real pleasure seeing the Muer family restaurant return to metro Detroit. The service for the most part was top notch. The managers, Mr. Muer, the busboy and the Sommelier were prompt friendly and welcoming as well as helpful. However, because we ended up being filled by our appetizer orders and had little room for the entre, I was given the impression our hostess was not impressed by our order and seemed to feel her service was better suited for higher end tables.
When I asked about recieving my 100 points for the Open Table I was greeted quizzically by the Maite D andthe wait staff. As a reult no award points were given."

"This was our fourth time visiting Joe Muer Seafood, and I think it is the best meal I have had so far! They are what a nice restaurant should be. Waitstaff is always attentive, friendly, not overbearing. The food is outstanding, prepared correctly, and fresh (important for seafood!). Lovely view of the detroit river. Decor is warm and inviting. Fianlly tried the coconut cake this time, and it was amazing. Great for a special occasion.
Thank you to the staff, managers, and owners for making this such a great place!"
