How much can a server realistically make in Detroit?

Talk Detroit

What's a realistic monthly take home for a server at a "decent" spot? Not the absolute top tier, not a chain, just a solid restaurant with steady volume.

I am curious about average weekly/monthly take home (tips + wage combined). Which neighborhoods or types of spots tend to pay best?

Not looking for the dream scenario, just an honest range so I can plan.
