Smoked BBQ Pizza
Chris S.

Let's start how our server created us- with a huge smile and just a welcoming hug like feeling. Enjoyed the campfire bourbon martini. Spot on My pizza was great. Had the BBQ and added blue cheese. Crazy good If you live within and hour you have to try the artichoke dip. The best I have ever had. Trust me. The bar was hoping and the atmosphere was fun.

Steak quesadilla

Derrick was the absolute best bartender and the food was amazing I will be back one of my all time favorite spots to dine in or out at.

Second smudge filled wine glass.
John A.

I don't usually leave long reviews, but this experience was unbelievably bad, especially for a Monday when the place wasn't even busy. Things actually started off fine. Our server was friendly and attentive... for the first five minutes. Then everything fell apart. My wives's first glass of wine came out looking like it had been grabbed from another table, smudges and lip marks all over the rim. I asked for a replacement, and even the server said, "Yeah, I wouldn't drink from that either." Not exactly reassuring, but fine. Then the food arrived... with no silverware. We waited. And waited. And waited. Finally, I had to flag down a completely different server just to get utensils. At this point, I realized the "replacement" wine never came back, either. When our server finally resurfaced, I reminded her, she had totally forgotten. Over halfway through the meal, the new wine shows up... and the glass is somehow grosser than the first one. Lip smudges again. I would've said something, but she never returned. You can see from the empty water glasses, we just kinda were left there. To top it off, we had to get another server just to bring the bill. When our server did come back and I pointed out the dirty wine glass, her response wasn't an apology. It wasn't concern. It was just: "Oh." That's it. Just oh. This used to be a solid spot, but it's been the same menu forever, the menus themselves are beat up, and half the bar tables wobble. It reminds me of Doc Sports in Livonia, a place that used to be good, but the owners made enough money and stopped caring, stopped updating anything, and it slowly died of old age. Sadly, this place feels like it's on that same path. The decline shows, and after this experience, I'm not sure we'll be back.

This place is nice, it was not super packed on a Thursday night and there was no wait for a table for two. There are TVs at the bar for those who watch sports, and a regular dining area for everyone else. There is rock music playing softly. Our server was really nice and attentive . I had a midnight margarita which was okay (really sweet), I also had a white gummy martini and it was amazing 10/10. I chose the spinach and artichoke dip as an appetizer which was delicious! 10/10 it was perfect and the pita chips were crispy yet soft. For my meal I had the steak bites which is on the starters menu, it was super tender and cooked medium 10/10. I also had a side of macaroni which was okay 4/10. My bestie had the stuffed pasta, I tried it and it was great! Overall I'd say this place is great and a nice place to stop in for food and drinks.

Mushroom smash burger
Sana K.

Came to town for a concert and found this place nearby our hotel to eat before. I was blown away at how great the food and drinks were. I had little expectations since it was a tavern and it was happy hour. However the reviews looked great. I ordered the mushroom smash burger and it was very good. I even got the onions on the side. The fries were good as well and I dipped them in ranch. It was very filling. The happy hour buffalo wings and truffle fries were really good as well. Service was good as well. Ambiance was chill. Not too busy. Plenty of tvs by the bar

Black Label Nachos
Kari A.

Food was great! I went with some friends, and got nachos as an app. It was delicious! I got wings too and they were good but they put the sauce on the side instead of tossing the wings in the sauce. Not a big deal. The only issue is that the service was a little slow, and it wasn't even super busy. Our waitress was very nice though. I would recommend this place if you're looking for good bar food!

Service by Sam is a 5 star. I tried the bourbon chicken which had a excellent sauce but was way too dry. Give it 2-1/2 points , particularly with the high price. The garlic potatoes were very good. We shared Mac and cheese which was a solid 4. Wife tried the steak tid bits and sauce which said were good but gets 4 points. The broccoli was very bland.

Crispy Brussels Sprouts
Michelle S.

Met a friend here for dinner in February. Our food was fabulous! Our service? Not so great. I have a huge pet peeve of not liking to have my drinks go dry. Not only did my wine and water go dry - I was never asked if I wanted more wine. My water went dry several times and we had to ask multiple times for more water - even after handing Christina the water glasses. She was friendly enough and knew the menu, and unfortunately, we were not impressed with her service. The food... Appetizers: since it was happy hour, we had the Brussels sprouts app - this has been and continues to be a favourite! Perfect blend of ingredients and very flavorful. We also tried the onion dip - I would describe that as a fancier version of the chip dip you can buy at the grocery store. It was good, the pita chips it is served with were perfect! Not sure we would order it again, but it was good (I'd get the Brussels sprouts all day, any day). Main courses: steak frites and bourbon chicken. The steak frites smelled amazing and the flavor did not disappoint. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare with a garlic butter and rosemary. The fries were covered in Parmesan and aioli - delicious! This dish was so full flavor! The bourbon chicken was a generous portion, the chicken was cooked perfectly (not at all dry). The side of Mac and cheese was a surprising delight - an excellent blend of cheese with a crispy topping of roasted bread crumbs. Dessert: red velvet cheesecake - I mean, need I say more? It was lovely with a nice, thick Oreo cookie style crust. Food gets a 10!

In walking up, the restaurant is welcoming with fresh flowers and benches. While it is adjacent to the Mall, it has its own entrance. The restaurant itself is an upscale sports bar ambiance. Food on the menu ranges from typical bar food to more upscale entrees. I selected the broiled salmon with fresh vegetables and mashed potatoes - because it seemed healthier than other options. It also came with soup of the day, which was either Chicken Noodle or Cream of Potato. I selected Chicken Noodle Soup. It was promptly served, but it was too salty for my taste. When my server came by, I mentioned that the soup was too salty for my taste. She didn't offer to bring me anything else, but commented that she was sorry I didn't like it. My entree came with a salmon fillet, fresh vegetables, and mashed potatoes. It wasn't amazing but it wasn't bad either. The vegetables were freshly cooked. Underneath the carrots, there was squash, zucchini, and broccoli. The mashed potatoes were also delicious. Since I ordered the salmon more for health than for taste, it's difficult to be objective. It wasn't super fishy tasting and the mashed potatoes helped it taste better. Overall, it was a decent meal, although the entree was $24.99. I guess that's the going rate, it felt expensive, but could also be that I would have preferred chicken fettuccine Alfredo! Overall, I would recommend this restaurant if you're in the area. It's not anywhere close to where I live and I wouldn't seek it out again.

On a very warm Saturday evening, I couldn't decide what to have for dinner. 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!

Very much enjoyed the food here…read more Came here looking for burgers and I got one. This is a small restaurant with a good vibe. The menu has some cool and hip choices to select. I ordered the original smash burger and it was great. The meat was a good quality and the fries were the very good. Winner was their ranch. It was so really good ranch. 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.

Food: after being there probably about 10 times, I will say the menu changes, and some hit and…read moremiss, but overall, you can find something suit to your palate. I like the moderate and healthier portion of the plate. I found new modern American restaurants are gradually trending to a smaller sized dishes. Many desserts here seem to be instagram worthy and the cocktail here can be eye candies sometimes. Ambiance: Ambiance is one of the reasons make up to the 5 star rating of this place. This is one of the restaurants in Plymouth has the decor embracing modern upscale feel which is my cup of tea. The tree in the middle of room gives you an outdoor ambiance while enjoying the inside comfort. Service: Nothing stand out but the service is mostly prompt and well staffed. Final verdict: I've come here for three birthday celebrations, and previously they gave birthday person a free cake, a free Polaroid phot as souvenir and even a wine opening gift sets one time, but this year I got nothing! That's a disappointing downgrade, but overall, still a great spot to visit in downtown Plymouth for a meal, a drink or just a sweet!

The techno background music wasn't our taste but it wasn't loud and kind of fit the modern clean ambiance, so fine. Prices for drinks seemed reasonable but some menu items seemed a bit overpriced. Service was mixed. The hostess was friendly and made us feel welcome. A good first impression. The waiter responsible for keeping the water filled was excellent. Our primary server was ok and let us set the pace for the most part. However she put dessert menus in front of us halfway through our entrees. We felt it was inappropriate subtle pressure. We skipped dessert as a result. Interesting cocktails and nice wine by the glass list. We started with the Candle, beef tallow formed into a small candle with bread ($12); basically artistic bread and butter as our server called it. It was ok but doubt we'd order it again. On the other hand the Tuna Tartare ($26) was excellent and I highly recommend it. We both had the 16oz prime ribeye ($72). It wasn't the best looking ribeye and could have been trimmed better. It was cooked to perfection and had a nice flavor. Our shareable sides, truffle fries ($16) with two delicious homemade sauces and broccoli ($18) were great! We look forward to a return visit with our wives.

And while I have…read moremade very favorable reviews of the Food, Bar, and staff in the past I think things are even better now. It seems they've had some managerial turnover and the change while not huge has been noticeable. They are coming up with a lot more variety with their nightly food and even dessert specials. Some I have never seen in this restaurant before. Several of them have been seafood dishes but the one I want to point out in this review is their new Double Bone-In Pork Chop with an Apricot Horseradish glaze. It's outstanding!!! The Chop is flavorful, tender, and a very large cut. I feel it's better than their ribs and pork tenderloin, but that might just be me. And if your leery about the glaze, which is not too heavy and delicious, I'm sure they can put it on the side. But, I bet you're going to love it!

My husband and I went out for our anniversary and thought this would be a nice steakhouse. We walked in feeling overdressed and had a table with a family including kids watching shows loudly on a phone right next to us. My biggest issue, though, was I ordered a mocktail (I forget the name, but it was an espresso martini made with non-alcoholic spirits) directly from the menu, exactly how it's listed in there, and was brought a regular espresso martini. I took one sip and could tell the difference. When I asked my server if it was in fact the one I ordered, she told me she rung in a regular one. I was 8 months pregnant at the time, so this was not great. While she was very apologetic and corrected the error, this was a big mishap.
