Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Statler French American Bistro in downtown Detroit offers a blend of "excellent" food and "amazing" service, making it a top choice for pre-show dining. While the ambience is inviting and the calamari and short ribs are "outstanding," some diners note inconsistent service and music that doesn't match the atmosphere.

    Really bummed as I was excited for this experience to treat my boyfriend to a nice steak dinner for his birthday. We had no idea there would be a DJ with music blaring through the whole place. We asked for a quiet seat and even in the front corner a loud speaker was there. This should be advertised so people know to avoid this. We both ordered medium steaks and got well done steaks. Not worth sending back as I’ve heard horror stories but just very bummed on what I thought would be a romantic evening with delicious food but ended up being a bad experience.

    Expectations were higher than The Statler could deliver. Service was timely. Food was undercooked - returned to kitchen for additional attention. Still underwhelmed with the food. Caesar salad is a terrible value - don’t bother. You’ll be served approx one cup of greens for the price. Coffee and desserts were good. Not enough for a return visit.

    Service was amazing. Food was good. Portions were pretty small and the gnocchi was pretty bland but the other food was tasty and the creme brulee was stellar.

    There was a football game on for which the restaurant was turned into a dance club atmosphere! (Loud DJ and loud dance music) My family were trying to enjoy my 16yr olds birthday at a nice restaurant. Overall horrible experience.
