What User doesn't like about The Bistro At the River:
This place is notorious for not having enough wait staff. Takes forever to get drinks and food. Had dinner there Aug 6/17. Perch was over cooked and tasteless. Burger was dry and boring. Lettuce in Cesar salad was wilted. Seemed like the salad was made and sat for half an hour before being served. The only thing good about this restaurant is the beautiful view of Detroit across the river. View all feedback. What User likes about The Bistro At the River:
This place has some of the best views in the area. Our group had burgers, salads and chicken and the food was average or a little better. They made very good crispy fries. Don't go here for real gourmet food but enjoy a nice restaurant and a great location. View all feedback.

The Bistro Grill offers a mix of hits and misses. The restaurant's waterfront location provides stunning views, with excellent outdoor patio seating. While the service was friendly and accommodating, the food quality and timeliness varied. Dishes like poutine and burgers received mixed reviews, with some being undercooked or lacking in taste. On the other hand, salads and sandwiches were generally well-received. Despite some shortcomings, the overall experience was pleasant due to the casual atmosphere, efficient service, and beautiful water views. The Bistro's potential is evident, but improvements in food consistency and service speed are necessary for a truly outstanding dining experience.
