We had a party of 4 on a Friday at 5:00pm, so the restaurant was not yet filling up with the Friday night crowd. We were seated promptly with a nice view of the lake. It took a while to get drinks and appetizer but they came eventually. 3 of us ordered the Lake Perch with the 4th ordering the Cobb Salad.

It took a while to be served the main course and from there the dining experience went down hill. One of the perch platters appeared undercooked and had to be sent back. The other two kept our plates.

My first bite of the perch left me wondering if it was pre-cooked and simply warmed or if it was just sitting too long before being served. The string beans were rather strewn across the plates and they, along with the mashed potatoes were all warm, not hot. It took a long time for the plate that was sent back to the kitchen to return to the table and we had to inquire after its status, leaving the diner sitting there a while to watch us eat.

The wait staff seemed mostly disinterested in us, giving the impression that they saw their jobs as simply dropping off food when it was required of them.

When the bill came it was a significant amount, but there was no pleasantries such as “I hope you enjoyed your meal”. Instead, they hand you the electironic bill and wait and watch for you to fill-in the tip amount.

The options were 20%, 25%, or 30%. I filled in 20% but honestly, would have done 15%. When I handed the device back, again, there was no “Thank you so much”, “I hope you enjoyed your dinner”, “Please come back”, etc.

Well, we won’t be coming back. It was a large bill, the food was mediocre, and the service was mostly inattentive and disinterested.

It’s a pity, because the facility and the venue itself are beautiful. Finally, we left by 7:00pm which was a good thing because the band started playing very loud music which would prevent any hope of carrying on a pleasant conversation with your dining partners.

A Truly Unforgettable Anniversary Celebration at Gino’s Surf!

We recently celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary at Gino’s Surf, and I can’t say enough great things about our experience. The outside has a beautiful view of Lake St. Clair. From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to make our special day truly memorable.

They were incredibly accommodating and helped us every step of the way with the setup—especially with the gazebo, which looked absolutely beautiful. Their team made sure everything ran smoothly, and their support gave us the freedom to enjoy the day without stress.

A huge shoutout to Jessica, the event coordinator, who is hands down the best I’ve ever worked with. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine kindness made planning effortless and enjoyable.

The buffet was outstanding—not only was the presentation top-notch, but the food was absolutely delicious. Our guests are still talking about it!

The servers were friendly, attentive, and really helped create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

If you’re looking for the perfect waterfront venue for a wedding, anniversary, or any special event, I would 100% recommend Gino’s Surf. They truly made our 20th anniversary unforgettable.

First time visit since this restaurant reopened and it was completely disappointing. My daughter ordered the Passionfruit cocktail and they “ran out of Don Julio”, they didn’t add any but still charged full price. I guess they were thinking she wouldn’t notice. Then my son ordered a Spicy Margarita which was not spicy and so he requested jalapeños and server said they “ran out of fresh jalapeño’s”. Then our calamari appetizer arrived it was NOT “lightly floured”, there was no “lemon butter sauce” but instead a side of cream sauce. The plate wasn’t served with a lemon wedge, when we requested one it never came. It tasted like the oil it was cooked in with a heavy greasy after taste. The ahi tuna tacos barely had ahi tuna. The $48 medium temp 8oz filet I ordered was close to 5-6oz well done and had been cut into prior to it arriving at our table. This was a huge disappointment. We sent it back and did not reorder. The chicken nachos were excellent (even had jalapeño’s on them). CLEARLY THEY RAN OUT OF MOST OF THE ITEMS we ordered and there was no communication our server prior to us ordering. The server was nice but she didn’t get small plates to share the appetizer (which was fine because it was nasty) or for the nacho’s until we asked for a few. All of these issues and not one time did the manager come to our table to speak to us. Even though the food was not great and service was fair, I am thankful for the quality time with family in a beautiful atmosphere. The view of the water and the full moon rising was the best part.

Sad to do this, but it has to be done.
I will be surprised if this joint lasts longer than couple seasons if they don’t make any changes to better their service and quality of food! My chicken was a “Subway” grade chicken breast with fake grilled marks. Salad was tiny . Wait for food was over an hour. I had to grab my own drink because it took our server 20 minutes to completely ignore us, and even when i brought my own drink, she still never brought the one i originally ordered.
Food is way overpriced. My salad was $25 with the added 2.98oz of fake meat chicken.
Not going back until I hear better experiences.

March 2025 – came here with the family to celebrate a birthday for my aunt who turned 80. The waitress and staff were wonderful! The food portion for the kids was good. The chicken was delicious for my kids. I ordered the fish and chips. The salad and fries were good but the fish was not that great. However, I wish I had ordered the breakfast burrito. It was very good according to my brother. The pizza is a small pizza and not the one on the kids menu. Overall, they have a lot of TV’s and a wonderful view of the water. The kids want to come back when it’s warmer and maybe we can eat outside.

I recently had the pleasure of returning to Gino’s Surfs, and I must say, it was just as delightful as I remembered from my childhood. Visiting on Easter Sunday turned out to be a wonderful choice, as the restaurant wasn’t overly busy, allowing for a relaxed dining experience.

The appetizers were a standout; they were delicious and set the tone for the meal. I opted for the chicken basket with gravy, and it was fantastic—perfectly cooked and flavorful. However, I did encounter a slight inconsistency with the filet I ordered. It had a peculiar burnt taste, which was surprising since it wasn’t actually burnt. Despite that, it didn’t overshadow the overall enjoyment of the meal.

The best part? The view! The scenery added an extra layer of charm to the experience, making it a perfect spot for a leisurely meal. Overall, Gino’s Surfs continues to be a gem, and I look forward to returning again soon. Highly recommended!

The atmosphere is the reason we wanted to stop in here. The service was not good from the beginning. After our table was ready we were told they would bring us silverware, but we sat with our salad in our face still waiting for utensils. The lemons on the salad were mushy and old. We had to ask about our calamari, because it was taking a long time. We think they need to learn what flash fried is because it was over cooked and not garnished well. Our main dish was the seafood linguini, which the 2 of us were sharing… the menu described it as being in white clam sauce, but when it arrived it was in a soup not white or creamy. The food didn’t have a great taste to it and the shrimp tails were not removed. Our server Alexa didn’t smile nor was very friendly. We did give her a good tip anyway but please know you need to work harder for your tips. The manager Tony did comp our bill 50% and was very apologetic due to several people calling in on a Saturday. Thank you Tony for the hospitality!! Pictured is our appetizer, and our main course before and after. Needless to say, we were not able to eat all of our food because it just didn’t taste well.

This place is practically my childhood. I had family events here, and my favorite part was always the lakeside view. When this place closed, I was devastated. When I was praising through Facebook and saw an article that it reopened, it was a goal of mine to go and actually dine there, as an adult. My husband surprised me today with having lunch there. For the record, absolutely delicious. We ordered the Chicken and Spinach Gratin, and it was a perfect appetizer for two people to split. It was cheesy and had fresh spinach inside. I also ate the New England Clam Chowder l, and I have to say it was the best soup I ever had. This was not some soup from a buffet where you’re fishing to get the vegetables and clams from the cauldron. You can taste the vegetables and the clams in every bite. The best part, the clam chowder did not have the “fishy” aroma. The Gino’s Burger took me by surprise. The burger was not only large in portion, but made from prime rib and brisket, so the quality was epic. As for the Fish and Chips…. Whoa…. For the record, it is very hard for me to find a decent fish and chip in a restaurant. When I say decent, one that is not frozen and fried. The fish was fresh, the batter was light and crispy, and the fries were perfectly seasoned. The best part of the experience, I got the see the lakeside view, once again. I absolutely recommend going to this restaurant. The service will not disappoint either. I can’t wait to return and pass my memories and my experience to my children.

Our first time, Friendly staff our waitress was excellent had a couple things come out wrong and she was on top of it got it corrected and the manager checked on us as well, absolutely no complaints with the staff! The food was good, my rib eye was more med well, but was still good, 20 oz so had left overs for lunch, lol. The restaurant was clean, has a bar area, and a eating area, wanted a window view but other parties were reserved, you can make reservations, they have a patio area, was too cold the day we went so we will be back to try the patio and pizza. Menu has a variety to select from.

Had an awesome time at Gino’s Surf! The food was amazing, but what really stood out was the service. Victoria took care of us and honestly made the whole experience even better. She was super friendly, made sure we had everything we needed, and even showed us around so we felt right at home. It was genuinely great service. Big thanks to her, we’ll definitely be back!
