   We arrived for our reservation and were promptly seated. Diego was helpful, kind and attentive. Good was magnificent. We had the Beef Wellington bites, my husband and I had steaks and side of our choosing. Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Would definitely recommend!

   When we arrived no one was there. We booked a reservation for 9pm and arrived early so we just decided to sit at the bar. The bartender ( bald male) approached us very standoffish immediately asking us what we wanted. This was also our first time visiting. We said we needed a minute . He left and came back. My mother asked what type of vodka do they use in the lemon drop. He looked at her as if it was a stupid question and goes something along regular vodka. We did have a nice young lady behind the bar step in. Again we asked what kind of vodka and she went down a list (Tito’s, kettle one, Belvedere , etc.) She took our food and drink order and was on her way. We were sitting just enjoying and next thing you know people start coming in. By this time an hour has gone by and the hostess came to us at the bar and goes “your reservation is here, but we won’t be able to sit you but at a little table so it might be best for you to sit at the bar.” Ummmm ok. We didn’t care because the bartender was nice but to say that it made us feel like you wanted to give “our” table to somebody else. Fast forward, we’ve been at the bar for an hour now. No water, no bread, no food. People who came in after us started to receive their food which started to upset us. Finally the lady bartender comes and says the kitchen it behind & we asked to see the manager. The manager did make things right & we received our food. Steaks were lukewarm warm , butter didn’t melt and they weren’t tender. My mother received cold fries. Manager came back said we would get fresh fries. That took 10-15 minutes . Overall this was a horrible first time experience. I would not be back, neither would I recommend this place to anyone.

   The food was top notch. But delays for food were a lot. We sat at 730 and did not see any food for an hour. 2 of us finished the first bottle of wine before the food arrived.

   We went here for my birthday and before a show - our first time at Sullivan's. Unfortunately, we were sat between a live three piece band on one side and a wedding reception on another side, so it had a tendency to get loud and the music as well, when the drums kicked in. We had standard appetizers. I had wedge salad and he had a shrimp and lobster bisque. It was quite odd to pay extra for bacon on the wedge salad. I never had to do that before. Aside from that, we ordered a NY Strip steak and the salt-crusted baked potato loaded. The steak was good. The potato was VERY salty all around just as it says. The salt basically dried out the potato, so the loaded part couldn't be tasted. Ask for the fixings on the side so you can scrape off all the salt. There is a ton of it. They gave me a slice of cheesecake for my birthday which was nice. We arrived a bit early ahead of our reservation. We had a show to go to and the service was a bit slower than we anticipated, so we had to rush to get to our show even though it was two hours after our reservations. We waited quite a while for various items. The food was good, not WOW great. I know this is a newer restaurant and a chain, but I think it needs to tighten up everything if it wants to be an upscale restaurant like all the others that are coming into the downtown area. There are many restaurant options in Detroit and this one may not be on our list next time.

   Every visit to Sullivan's Detroit is a great, memorable experience. Last night was no exception. We entered from the Westin Book Cadillac, where the restaurant is located, and were greeted by Emily, the hostess on duty at the time. She seated us and turned over the reins to Ashley, our server. I gave Ashley our order and requested it be served sequentially; it was perfectly timed. We were on the last day of our visit and enjoyed a bottle of Cakebread, along with three tantalizing appetizers: Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail, Seared Rare Ahi Tuna and Beef Wellington Bites. As we were preparing to leave, Chris Stevens, their General Manager, stopped by the table and introduced himself. Very classy touch!
