I ate some of the salmon because I didn't have time to get anything else before my meeting, but you can see what a MESS this salad was.
Jamillah J.

OMG! I am not from this area (or even this state), I was visiting for work. I try to patronize local businesses when I travel, and that brought me to Ardiana's. I placed an order over the phone (based on the Yelp reviews), but had I visited this place in person, I never would have ordered. Aside from the dining room looking like a defunct hospital cafeteria, the color scheme is bad, the place is drafty, and it just looks dim, dingy, and dirty. Now, on to my food. I ordered simple: a ceaser salad with salmon. They told me 20 minutes (over the phone). I thought that was a long time, but figured there may have been a lunch rush. No lunch rush, but they obviously rushed making this salad. The greens were crudely ripped (not cut) resulting in sandwich-large pieces of lettuce. The "croutons" (I'm using that term loosely) weren't crunchy, and I could tell they were just stale bread. (The irony!) The salmon was barely grilled with no seasoning except pepper, and the dressing was lackluster in appearance and flavor. I started to call the restaurant and speak to the manager, but I'm never going back, so I figured that wouldn't matter to me. However, I did decide to write a review to save another unsuspecting traveler from having the same experience that I did.

Roasted potatoes
Shirl C.

We finally got a chance to check out A's and can't wait to go back. The interior of the restaurant has a sleek and minimalist vibe- perfect for a date night. On a Friday night, there were a few other patrons that dined in, so it wasn't loud. The service from start to finish was friendly and attentive. We ordered the brussel sprouts, parmesan fries, branzino, beef stroganoff and carrot cake. The bs- was delicious! It had a smokey taste that was perfect. The pf- was okay. The shape of the fry was curly, not like the typical curly fries, but thicker on one end, so a bit dry and bland. I wouldn't order this again. Although the aioli was good. The b- was delicious. I would definitely order this again. A tad bit oily, but that's to be expected. It also came with a side of roasted potatoes. The best part of the meal was definitely the bs- huge portion that just melted in your mouth! I had been seeing so many positive reviews for the cc, I was so excited to try it out. It was okay...a bit dense for me. It seemed like it was served right out of the fridge. Overall, pretty solid dinner. I'd definitely go back to try more items, including breakfast.

It's dead inside, one other party that knows the owner or manager. Fother couples walked in after us and some carry out orders too. I think the construction may cause keep some customers away. Meadowbrook is down to one lane and is a mess. The decor is simple elegance. I do like the giant mirror to make it look bigger. We were seated at a table top. The whole place is open, would have been nice at the booth, but the two-top booths are next to another two top. Ordered roasted Brussels sprouts, Athenian salad added pepperoncini, side Caesar salad, no croutons, chicken kebab, extraordinary Mac and cheese, goat cheese chicken. $102.03 The big glass with water in it at the center of our table looks like a giant glass of water. The house bread is warm, quite chewy, has the texture of hardened mozzarella. It's dense too. Not for me. The Brussel sprouts aren't bad. Could be cut into smaller bits or thinner slices. Nicely cook. The bacon is nicely browned for my hubby. Balsamic glaze is just the right amount. The Athenian salad is good, needs more flavor in the dressing though, it's a tad bland. I like the fresh dill. Not loving the iceberg lettuce much. Some burnt reddish iceberg pieces The Caesar salad is okay, not enough dressing and the lettuce is a mix of iceberg and romaine. My husband wished he had known to ask for romaine only, he said the iceberg shouldn't be in his salad at all. It was. The goat cheese chicken is good. Fettuccine noodles, sauce is rich and creamy. The chicken kebab is nice and tender, simple but good flavor, it's good. Veggies are nicely grilled with a bit of char. The extraordinary Mac and cheese is just okay, cheese sauce is good. A nice crust on the top and spiral or shell noodles would make better. My husband at least liked it. Service is so-so. Took a bit to get our bill picked up and card taken to run it. The Brussel sprouts, goat cheese and chicken kebab are all pretty good. Skip the Mac and cheese and ask for romaine only, should you get a salad.

Salad with grilled chicken, homemade dressing
Tiffany Z.

They just keep getting better and better! Ardiana is a pastry chef wizard! Her carrot cake with caramel sauce is TO. DIE. FOR!!! Whatever you do, save room for dessert! We went for a birthday celebration and this is the place to impress for food, friendly and quality service - and a beautiful facelift inside. We had the eggplant Parmesan as an entree and it was three thick, delicious, crispy pieces. Yes you can gave this as an entree. If you think you need something else, add a side to it. The Ardiana Pasta is another show stopper. I asked to add salmon and it almost brought tears to my eyes. All the veggies in the pasta are sautéed first so they add a wonderful flavor. So creamy, tomato forward, elegant past dish. The chicken Parmesan is a meal for two (or Three). The chicken is cooked perfect, still juicy AND crispy. Pasta is delicious!! We learned they've received their liquor license so can't wait to come back and enjoy a glass a wine as a compliment to the dishes. The coffee is delicious too!

Beef stroganoff

Amazing beef stroganoff. Cesar salad and parmesan fries. Great ambiance and service

Carrot cake. Took a couple bites, before the pic was taken!

Ardiana's is one of those unassuming neighborhood gems tucked into a shopping center off 10 Mile and Meadowbrook in Novi. From the outside you might not expect much. Inside, it's really welcoming. Clean, comfortable tables and chairs, and it looks like they recently refreshed the place with updated walls, art, and lighting. Nothing fancy, just done right. We started by sharing a Greek salad and it was very fresh, with an excellent dressing. I ordered the chicken parmigiana and it was out of this world. I honestly do not know how the chef did it, but the chicken had this incredible crispiness and freshness, with a perfect crunch that still stayed juicy. The portion was extremely generous. The pasta was excellent and the sauce was exactly what you want with chicken parm. I could not even come close to finishing the whole plate. I heard a certain renowned Italian restaurant owner loves to come here for the parm! She says no one makes it quite like Ardiana's chef. The owner, Robert, brought out a carrot cake for us to try. He said it was all organic. It was fantastic. Moist, with a great caramel sauce and walnuts. At that point I was waving the white flag because it was just too much good food. Robert also mentioned they are opening a small bar soon, which will make this place even better for a casual dinner. If you are in Novi and you want a great Italian and Mediterranean spot that over-delivers, put Ardiana's on your list.

Chorizo omelette with English muffin and protein omlette
Whitnee D.

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem! Very well decorated with a warm and friendly atmosphere. Our waitress was also extremely kind and knowledgeable of the menu. I truly enjoyed my chorizo omelette with jalapeño, onion, cheese, pico de gallo, salsa verde and avocado. It comes with a homemade corn tortilla but I opted for an English muffin which was one of the best I have ever had. My friend enjoyed her protein omelette made with grilled chicken breast, egg whites, spinach, tomatoes and feta with a side of potatoes. I look forward to coming back!

Karim J.

A good friend of mine invited me to have lunch with him here. I didn't think much of the restaurant from the outside so I wasn't really expecting to have anything unique or special. I didn't take pictures of the dining area because it was quite small and there were a handful of people eating, so I didn't want to make anyone feel uneasy. But I do want to confirm that it's a nice, clean looking restaurant and appears better inside. I initially thought I was going to a generic American style family restaurant, but the menu here is actually quite robust. I was getting an Eastern European/Mediterranean vibe from the menu, but they also had some Mexican inspired dishes funny enough. For my meal I got the barbacoa breakfast bowl. Between my friend and I we waited awhile before I food came out to the point where I felt we ran out of stuff to talk about. But after getting passed that I was pleasantly surprised by my food. The shredded tender beef and the crispy potatos were the highlights of this dish, and all the other fresh ingredients perfectly rounded them up but cutting the richness of them. I was amazed that I finished this thing considering how big it was, but it was too good. Definitely looking forward to coming back in the future.

Notice the much higher prices
Doug R.

Very disappointed in the remodel and new menu: - No breakfast - No baked goods - Significant price increases; $20 for a gyro? Um, no. Food is very good, but value is poor.

Homemade bread (closeup) crusty on the outside, pillowy on the inside. Amazing!
C. D.

My son and I had the chance to grab some take out last night and the food was more wonderful than we remembered from our last visit. We were greeted with a warm welcome and a smile, waited inside the beautiful dining area while others finished their meals and conversations with friends and family. The owner and chef came out to greet us, ask about family and thank us for visiting. We drove home excited to eat our dinner and happy we made the right choice. Food was amazing: warm, fresh, flavorful, homemade... I wish Ardiana was my personal chef!

This is one of our favorites.

Why haven't I tried here sooner?…read more Toasted oaks is located inside of the renaissance hotel located by 12 oaks mall parking lot. There is an entrance for just the restaurant which makes it easier to enter. There is also close parking next to it. I had no wait on a Friday evening, which I'm sure isn't common, but I was also there about1 hour 30 minute - 2 hours to closing so it could be why. I was still given great service and a wonderful cooked dish. I ordered a mocktail (virgin spring in wing) that had was supposed to have smashed strawberries. I barely tasted the strawberry (I did not have some in the drink) as the soda water overpowered everything thing else. I probably should have said something, but I didn't. If I order next time I will. There were many great things on the menu, but I opted for the bone in pork chop. While I waited I did ask if they had bread service and they have corn bread. First I was like "hmmmm idk". Once it came to the table I loved it. I usually don't butter my corn bread, but I tried their butter with it and I enjoyed the pairing. It was perfectly cooked well enough how pork should be, but still tender so it wasn't dry. It had this whiskey sweet fruity glaze over it which was delicious. I would have preferred it on the side, but that's just a personal preference. The green beans weren't soggy, they had a slight crisp to them. A great flavor. I opted out of the loaded baked potato and just got a plain with butter , sour cream and chives. Overall for what I ordered I didn't think the price to be too unreasonable. However, this place can get pricy with other things on the menu. Their menu might also change because I seen photos of this place and those items weren't on the menu. I would come here again for a dinner alone, with my spouse and even with friends.

After checking Yelp and…read morethinking about the Asian restaurants I've been to in the area with good reviews, I realized they haven't been great for me--so I changed course and decided to try Spruce and Ash. I'd been wanting to try their beet and feta salad, and after exploring the menu, I also ordered their beet Korean wings. I loved every bite--both were incredibly satisfying and very tasty. The restaurant is a quaint little spot in downtown Farmington. Outdoor seating was quite full, and once I went inside I realized the inside was fully seated as well. I was instructed to order at the bar, and I was immediately attended to and offered water while I waited for my order. The bar was simple, organized, and very clean. The interior is rather small, but it hardly felt crowded. My order was well bagged, but when I got home there was no flatware or napkins--so thankfully I wasn't planning to eat right away. I'm genuinely excited to try something else on the menu, but I'd definitely repeat my beet salad and Korean wings order. If you're in the downtown Farmington area, give Spruce and Ash a try! Enjoy!

I had a mock tail, I forgot the name. But it had berries and black pepper I believe. It was interesting, but I wouldn't order it again. Prices were too bad, I feel a lot of places are the same. Service wasn't bad either. Not too slow, but not overbearing.

We both got what we're looking for here! I tried an utterly delectable pasta dish. It was the special and called my name: a generous serving of butternut squash ravioli in a brown butter sauce, with carmelized onions and tender DUCK meat pieces ALL through, and topped with crushed toasted pistachios. It felt downright luxurious. The pasta was thin and perfectly prepared. It also came with a house salad, which was dressed with a light citrus vinaigrette, cranberries, and pine nuts. This meal absolutely scratched the itch for something special. And the burger? High marks! It was a perfect medium rare as requested, and very tender. The cole slaw side was a nice-sized pile, more vinegar dressed, and got good reviews as well. Also, the meal started with some crusty but super tender interior garlic rolls. Our service was very good. The restaurant is an interesting mix of casual and fancy-ish. We weren't rushed and enjoyed the ambiance. Decor could use a deeper clean. Bathrooms were clean and ladies' was very pretty. Clientele leaned older, but that makes sense because from what I understand DJBs is a classic.

The chili is excellent and the Green Machine with chicken was great and a good size. Our server was Miraya (I'm probably killing the spelling sorry) and she was so nice and helpful! The staff does not turn over here like other places, and they all seem very enthusiastic to be there, which you don't see often. It's obvious the ownership cares a lot about their staff, as well as delivering quality food to their customers. The seating seems a little tight, but it's uniquely designed. It's not very loud, so it's a great place for a date or just a nice 20 year anniversary dinner! (Ours) This is a great place to try if you haven't yet. Their menu has something for everyone.
