D.w. Fusco's

I only came here for an event, so I can only speak to that. D.W. Fusco's was so lovely. I absolutely love the patio area. They have string lights and a nice fireplace to keep you warm. The inside looks like an upscale bar. The food they provided was awesome. They had some brisket and it was so good. All in all, it was a good experience and I'd like to check it out again.

Walked in and was a little confused with the layout of the place. I took notice that the bar area right inside the door was much quieter than the main dining room. The staff all had smiles and we're very prompt and considerate. My wife and I had the [choice brisket with a baked potato, coleslaw, and bread], [white chicken lasagna], [limoncello], and the [vanilla walnut Sunday]. My only complaint would be that the white chicken lasagna has a deceptive name. It's a lasagna...with chicken. I thought it was a white lasagna with chicken. Big difference that isn't specified. But it was still delicious!

I really hesitated to write this review as I know how restaurants are struggling with this scamdemic. However, I have tried this restaurant three times now, and I have not been impressed with anything I have eaten! I am surprised to see such good reviews on the food. My third attempt was last night when I stopped by and picked up the parmeasan meatballs and broccoli🥦 casserole. The broccoli casserole was extremely disappointing. It was absolutely tasteless. The cheese sauce tasted like Campbell's soup and the casserole had no salt or flavoring whatsoever. The broccoli tasted frozen and waterlogged. We ended up throwing it in the trash. The meatballs were nothing special. They tasted like something from Sam's Club with a canned marinara sauce poured over them. And very little sauce as well. I had a Cuban sandwich and the crabcakes when they first opened. They were both so-so. So I thought I would give them another try. However, I was sadly disappointed again. I can't complain about the service, the young girl who checked me out was very nice. I hope they revamp their recipes and put more flavor in their food as I would hate to see them go out of business. I am writing this in the hopes they listen to their customers' complaints. Can someone please tell their thoughts on the broccoli casserole? I would like to know if your thoughts are the same as mine so we can help them improve this dish or just remove it completely. I gave them two stars, one for the atmosphere and one for the service. None for the food after my third time there.

Expect to make reservations as this place is always busy. We however decided to wing it one night and it worked out in our favor. They found a table outside and brought a heater over to us as it was a chilly night. The food is phenomenal here. We shared their specialty Detroit pizza and were thrilled with the amount and quality of food. Staff is very helpful and friendly. We make this a regular date night now and it has become our favorite spot.

Server took 10 minutes to greet us/ ask for our drink order. I ordered the salmon, the first option listed under the specialty entrees on the first page of the menu. Server comes back 10 minutes later to tell me that they don’t have that tonight. Took another 15 minutes to get a glass of wine. I ended up ordering the steak Alfredo, which came with a total of 5 small pieces of flavorless steak, all for a whopping $28! Stick to golf maybe, Timberlake! Definitely not a high quality dining experience.

Have always heard what great food they have here and maybe I caught them on an off night but my rib eye was not all that good. It wasn't terrible but it lacked in flavor, a little tough and had way too much untrimmed fat. My wife had some sort of shrimp & pasta dish and it also was very bland. Lots of money for not so good food. The service was as good as I've had in some time, so that was the highlight. I will eat there again and hope for better food but with their prices I'll only give them one more try.
