Reviews
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.
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.
We started with the lobster Cobb and clam strips. Yum! Then the whole fried Bronzino, lobster roll and green beans (had to have something healthy!). All really good and authentic.
Busy bar with great cocktails, fresh Guinness on draft and decent wine list.
Reserve in advance. Note: no outdoor seating.
The service was very slow, and our waiter had a hard time hearing us, though she genuinely tried her best. The ambiance was a highlight, especially the entrance with its charming nautical and submarine-inspired decor. It’s a cute spot overall, but I’d probably stick to non-seafood dishes next time.
We were a small family group dining together, and from the moment we arrived, the greeting felt noticeably uninviting. ( blonde hair, bangs & wore glasses between tasks) There was a sense of being assessed rather than welcomed, which immediately set an uncomfortable tone. Throughout our time at the restaurant, we continued to notice prolonged staring from multiple staff members, including the greeter, bartender, and even the individual who took our photo. It was distracting and made us feel uneasy, despite the fact that we were respectful, calm, and simply enjoying a meal.
When guests choose to support an establishment, regardless of background or circumstance, it should be met with warmth and professionalism. Unfortunately, that was not the impression we were given during our visit.
Additionally, the food did not stand out enough to offset the overall experience, and there was a noticeable hygiene issue with our server, which further detracted from what should have been an enjoyable evening.
Hospitality is about more than atmosphere and presentation — it’s about how guests are made to feel. Sadly, this visit fell short, and it is unlikely we will return.
