It had been several years since our last visit to Big Fish but we were happy to see that the restaurant was still a viable choice in the area. The interior decor is lovely. The menu has an extensive selection of fish. Our service was excellent, the food well presented/prepared and several staff came around to make sure that we... More

Our lunch BIG FISH in Dearborn was fantastic! Any negative reviews...overlook them. My daughter and I went there to celebrate our birtday's and loved everything. The service was great and the seafood was amazing. Try the calamari and for main dishes, diver scallops or the broiled seafood platter (salmon, shrimp, scallops...yum :) Will most certainly go back again, when I'm... More

if you like to have a good dinner with fish or seafood this is your place, the decoration is good and intimate, service is also good. There are a lot of options on the menu, only complain is that the menu is a big card with no photos when it could be smaller and easier to handle, with more information.... More

It was a pleasant surprise to find a first class seafood restaurant this far inland. Both the selection and quality of the fish were as good as any on the eastern seaboard. I wish we had a Big Fish in my area because I would be a regular. Our waiter showed the perfect balance of being attentive but not rushing... More

Good sea food and a nice wine list to go with it. I did not have dessert but others at the table liked what they ordered. I always try to eat here when I am in Dearborn.

I have frequented Chuck Muer restaurants for the past couple decades but this is the first time I have eaten at Big Fish. To say the least I was disappointed. First, I went for a business dinner on a weeknight, the restaurant was sufficiently noisy, although not terribly busy, to make business conversation difficult. Second the decor was very dated...

Food was ok not great, limited menu and was not worth the price... I love fish and this is the only close fish place, but I have not been back in 15 weeks of business trips into the area.

You can't go wrong with this restaurant. Always great food and service. Cedar planked salmon is outstanding. Great wine list. Atmosphere is nice. Conveniently located near Fairlane shopping center.
