The Fountain Detroit — Restaurant in Detroit

What can I say? This place sucked!!!!

Made reservations for Valentine's Day for what they called their "best menu". The food was, according to the waiter, the "best they've had on V-Day". It wasn't. The smoked salmon mousse was WWWWWAAAAYYYYY too salty. My wife didn't finish it and sent it back. Next up, was the caprese salad. Thanks for the ENDS of the tomatoes! They were impossible to cut with a fork. Then came the entree. The tenderloin medallions looked wonderful. The outside was all seared and looked delicious. But it wasn't cooked. At all. THEY GAVE MY WIFE A PLATE OF RAW MEAT. It was as red as her dress. Needless to say, we sent it back. The plate we got back came with carrots and squash that looked blanched. They were still crunchy and cold on the inside.

My chicken was okay. Dry but at least there was pesto to give it some flavor.

Dessert was good. The pastry chef knows what he's doing.

Oh. And despite making reservations way ahead of time, we got seated directly next to the bathroom. next the bathroom was where they were pulling their paper table covers from. Just imagine that RRRRRIIIIIIIPPPPPPP sound every time they came to get paper for another table.

It was just a horrible experience overall.

This was a waste of $120. I will never, ever go back and I recommend you don't ever go. It's...

Well last week I was loving this place. My I ordered the Fountain Salad with Salmon. I watched as he put the fresh salmon on amd grilled it and it was near perfect. Today, I go back for the same exact salad and after spending $17.00 for a dried out, rock hard piece of salmon that tasted like it was from the day before. I WON'T BE BACK!. The main chef was there texting on his phone or something. Another guy was cooking. I ended up with a salad that had Quinoa in it, walnuts and pistachios instead of almonds. Now, there are some people who have ALLERGIES...who order off a menu assuming that it will be made as detailed in the MENU!. And yet, here I got this sloppy salad that they started making wrong but didn't give a sh@t to remake it and do it right. By the time I walked back to my office and sat down to look at the food thats when I noticed it was wrong and the salmon was like a hockey puck. It was nt palatable. I ate around some of it bit ultimately threw it away. Extremely disappointing. I work down here and this restaurant paints itself to be "higher quality". Definitely not the case today. Take your chances I guess, if they are feeling in the mood to perform maybe you will luck out. Othwerwise, its not worth the almost $20 for a crappy lunch when there are better plces with more...

Attended this establishment for Detroit's Restaurant Week. Food was flavorful but very small in amount per plate. The overlying theme that defined our evening and ultimately earned a 2 star on this review is the service. Yes, prices where a bit high as well but all may have been forgiven if the service wasn't so shot. I should have had the foresight when calling to make a RSVP... no one came to the phone, it kept going to voice-mail so I made it through Open Table online... Reservations were at 8:30pm, we arrived at 8:15 and was seated... the WATER didn't come until 8:40 and that is being generous... We were there for 2 hours. Waiting for all three courses to finish. Then at the end our waiter says that they are out of the Chocolate Crème Brûlée ... forced to concede with the only other dessert on the menu (Apple Galette w/housemade gelato) our waiter then comes back and says that he put the order in early so I had the very last batch of Crème Brûlée... Well that was GREAT, until finishing our meal and overheard the waiter tell a table near to us that they were out of the Apple Galette... 2 HOURS smh. I'm soooooooo glad I was there with the Love of my life and those hours flew by because if not, I...
