Cliff Bell's Restaurant, Detroit, MI


Located on Park Avenue between Elizabeth and Adams, Cliff Bell's is a must see restaurant of Detroit. The current jazz club has had a rough past, but after being closed down and then reopened, the bar is up and running like never before. The restaurant serves a 1920s jazz and blues theme, with a jazz or blues band constantly playing live music. The architecture plays a big role in the 1920s atmosphere as well. I have never been to Cliff Bell's, but I have heard that the food there is excellent. Most of the food is French-inspired, but there are American items on the menu as well. The menu has items from steak to duck and soups to oysters. The food has great taste, but when the club gets busy, the service gets slow. I guess you could expect a popular restaurant to have slow service with large crowds, but they should be able to manage. I have also heard that meals are more likely to be undercooked or overcooked when the tables are filled. That's common sense, but there is no excuse for it. So, I suggest that if you want to experience your Cliff Bell's experience fully and flawlessly, then go to the restaurant during its less popular hours. But if you do prefer the hustle and bustle of a hype jazz club, then be sure to stop by during the later hours of the evening.
