“Amazing seafood place in the metro Detroit area. The seafood tower was well presented. The only thing I would change is the tinned sardines.Perhaps have fresh sardines instead. Overall a great place to get seafood!”
“My spouse and I came for our first family outing as a family of 3! I have been looking forward to lunch at Hazel’s for months and it did not disappoint! Our server, Erica, was absolutely wonderful. Very knowledgeable about the menu and patient as we took our time for our meal. My first martini as a new mom was everything I’d hoped it would be, and the oysters were excellent. We also got the whitefish dip, lobster roll, lobster bisque, and typical salad. Everything was coursed perfectly and delicious. Overall, I can’t say enough good things about our experience at Hazel’s and will definitely be back many more times in the future. Thank you for a wonderful time!!”
“This past Sunday, Kayden served our party of 9 and was absolutely fantastic. He made sure everything was perfect for us while also adding hilarious jokes and his incredible charisma to our night. He helped my sister who has celiac's find a bunch of great options, treated our 10yo son very respectfully, and remembered that we were there to celebrate a birthday. The food was all phenomenal, not a single complaint. My friends said they loved it so much that they would be coming back on their own, and they also said they hoped Kayden was their server every time. My boyfriend and I have been coming to Hazel's frequently for about 4 years now, and we ALWAYS request Kayden. His shining personality and positive attitude make him an absolute delight to interact with, to the point that it makes the food taste even better. We have been there on extremely busy nights when Kayden's section is full, and he still stops by to say hello. And when we do get to be one of his many tables on those busy nights, we are never left waiting or wanting. Truly the best server we've had anywhere, and I have a lot to compare it to. A gem of a person that I cannot compliment enough. In addition to Kayden being the Best Server In Southeast Michigan, the kitchen here has been KILLING IT lately. A few years ago it was a bit hit-or-miss, but they are absolutely AMAZING now. The lobster bisque is the best I’ve tasted anywhere, better than anything i’ve had in Maryland. Their food is fresh and prepared with love every time and I seriously cannot express how impressive that is for me as a chef of 12 years. If you’re considering going to Hazel’s, it’s perfect for any occasion. Casual, date night, meetings, parties- their fun and chic interior design make the restaurant feel clean and bright, even when the lights are dim. If I could give 20 stars, I would.”
“I was there today with a large group, for brunch. We had one server, Kayden, who did an absolutely fantastic job of waiting on all of us at the same time. Plus, everyone had extra demands and he kept up with all of that very well. Our food came out fresh, and hot. We’ve had issues with multiple servers bringing out food for everyone at different times, but Kayden really had it anll under control. I had the chicken biscuit and the breakfast potatoes, both were excellent!”
“Hazel's is a great looking space with some really good food, but some choices are better than others. Even with reservations, we still had about a 20 minute wait on a busy weekend night. You can sit at the bar, if you like. The room looks amazing, with nice lighting levels. If they got rid of the TV's, it could pass for any contemporary joint in Chicago. Hats off to the design crew. They have an Oyster Bar with a giant shell above it. You won't miss it. Service was top notch. Dishes were brought out in a staggered fashion, much better than food sitting around waiting to be brought out all at once. Hush Puppies: Crunchy and perfectly seasoned. Clam Chowder: lots of clams, but really bland. It had great texture, but needs a seasoning rework. Typical Salad: lots of fixings, good and fresh. Fries: the skinny kind. Pretty good. A few different flavors are available, but no one in our party got any of them for me to try. Popcorn Grouper Bites: Really good! Comes with a perfect Calypso sauce. Don't skip this! Coleslaw: creamy, but totally bland. C'mon guys, a good seafood restaurant should have some knockout slaw. Fried Chicken Sandwich: very good. Breaded and seasoned perfectly. Comes with shredded lettuce on it, so be aware. Fish & Chips: only a single piece of fish for $25 (see picture). Wet and oily in the center. Would not order again. Lobster Roll: it comes in an actual roll, rather than the traditional slice of bread (which I think is a good thing). It did not come with the expected little cup of butter to pour over it (make sure you ask!). Snapper: really good. Nice complimentary sauce. Key Lime Pie: The real thing with the yellowy filling. Dexter Morgan would approve. Banoffee Pie: Banana pie with gravity defying topping. Just right sweetness. Restroom was clean, but stall door did not lock. So kinda a mixed bag food wise, but there are some standout dishes if you choose wisely. A few recipe tweaks could take this place over the top.”
