We hosted my daughter's wedding reception here and all i can say is "WOW"! Everything was perfect...the ambiance was romantic and full of warmth with all of the beautiful wood...the food was delicious and perfectly cooked and served. The servers and bartenders, Bruna, Tony and Kevin were so accommodating and did everything g possible to keep everyone's drinks full and wait on their every need. The coordination of the event was with Asida...she was so efficient and made sure everything was perfect...she kept telling me not to worry and that she had it all under control...and she did. I highly recommend this restaurant for any event that you might be hosting. Kristen S from Chesterfield. read more

This was a great spot to hangout for valentines with a group of friends and their partners. Servers and the remaining staff were very accommodating even though we were running late. They had a special menu for the valentines weekend which seemed decent enough. I had the lobster bisque which was heaven.. the whitefish patella and the crispy chicken dish pollo di bacci was very nice too! The dessert however was just ok, had it not been a valentines special, atleast we would have more choices, so we have to go there back again just to try more choices. read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was unacceptable. Before paying, I noticed multiple items on my bill that I never ordered. If I hadn't checked carefully, I would have been overcharged. That's extremely concerning. I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt that there may have been a Valentine's Day party or holiday rush contributing to the confusion. However, regardless of how busy it was, accuracy in billing is a basic expectation and responsibility. Overall service was fairly good, and the staff seemed attentive. The food was above fair nearly good. That said, billing errors of this nature overshadow the entire experience. I strongly recommend customers review their bill line by line before paying. read more

Entrace had good vibe and photo booth, though the table we got was in extended room with pretty basic chairs n sitting arrangement. I found the place pretty average. They served warm n soft bread which was was very nice, it was their valentine week so menu was pretty limited. I ordered pasta which was very basic and each dish was less in quantity for worth of those dollars. Since it was dinner with my fav friends, i still enjoyed the eve read more

What a classic spot that I totally forgot about. Stopped in with a friend who had been raving that Filippa's is so good, and she was right. We started with the steak tips, which came in a really nice sauce, which was a smidge salty but still good. Each entrée came with the option of soup or salad -- I went with the clam chowder and my friend chose the salad with Italian dressing. Both were good. I ordered the Rigatoni Alla Vodka with meatballs while my friend had the Pollo Di Bacci. Both dishes were amazing. Next time I might skip the meatballs, only because they weren't as flavor-packed as I hoped, but that might just be me. Of course, their bread was as terrific as ever. The service was second to none. Our waitress, Rhonda, was wonderful, and a few other staff members stopped by to check on us throughout dinner. Everyone was so genuine and truly wanted to make sure we had a great experience. The atmosphere was warm, clean, and comfortable -- the kind of place where you can wear jeans or dress up a bit. The crowd seemed to lean a little older, but I can't quite figure out why. The prices are fair, the food is good! read more

Dined on a Wednesday after lunch. Very few tables were occupied. Waitress was very pleasant and described the specials perfectly. The calamri was hot and tender. The clam chowder was thin and a but salty. The lobster bisque was absolutely delicious. Veal parmagiana was a bit tough, rigitoni pasta was very al dented and could have been cooked a bit longer. Pasta sauce was just ok. The Cannelloni was very good. read more

I recently had a bridal shower here. The food was excellent, the servers, David & Rhonda were excellent, the room was the perfect size for this number of guests, and the restaurant was flexible with details to make the event successful. Guests could choose between 3 types of plates that I had chosen, and I was allowed to bring in my own dessert. David & Rhonda were very attentive, helping me with the timeline, they served the food very quickly, and were extremely pleasant. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the noise from the adjacent dining room which had a very large baby shower at the same time; there was a curtain separating the areas rather than a wall. However, my guests didn't seem bothered by this and I was glad I had the bridal shower at this venue. read more

Haven't been here in years but the food still holds up. The drinks and soup were fantastic, but the steak bites with zip sauce were everything I remembered. So happy I got to dine in after so many years. I wish they shipped the sauce nationwide. read more

So disappointed in this place last night. I should have known by the empty parking lot but it was open until 10 and it was 8:30. Da Francesca's was closed sadly a vacation (good for them, sad for me). We were sat quickly as there were only two other parities on the restaurant so there was plenty of seating. We were greeted promptly by our server and she was friendly the whole night...but that was the only positive part of the experience. The bread was hard and stale, like it had been sitting out all day. I was told that the warmer was off because they close soon so that is all they had - even though the restaurant still had an hour before closing. It was not edible. We were never asked what we wanted to drink, so we were left sipping water the entire meal Then came the lasagna... if you can even call it that. It arrived soggy, swimming in a bowl of greasy liquid, topped with burnt, rubbery cheese. It looked unappetizing and tasted worse. Not a single bite felt fresh or properly prepared. I could have had better reheated microwave lasagna. This place was a total letdown. They tried to make is right by offering to remake the meal or to offer a free dessert but at that point I didn't want anything from the kitchen. I had high hopes for this long standing Italian restaurant --what I got instead was an overpriced disaster. I won't be back. read more

Attended a rehearsal dinner here so the menu was fixed. Three different appetizers were all good. Bread looked delicious and I managed to control myself so I could enjoy the rest of the meal - pasta course, salad, salmon. Tiramisu for dessert- one of the better I've had. Lovely setting for a wonderful event. Service was impeccable. read more

Our carry-out order ended up costing significantly more than the prices listed on the restaurant's own website. When we brought this to the manager's attention, she initially denied any discrepancy, until we showed her the proof ourselves. Rather than taking responsibility or offering any kind of compensation, she simply remarked, 'Someone's getting fired,' and still charged us the higher in-store price. If you can't keep your website menu updated, that's not the customer's fault. read more

Filippa's Restaurant - Lobster Bisque. - American Near Me - Shelby Township, Michigan

We tried Filippa's for the first time last night. We were first sat in the dining area which was dimly lit with a nice setting. Unfortunately, there was a large party and a wedding rehearsal dinner going on at the same time occupying the majority of the space. The noise level was so crazy high that we requested to be moved to the bar area. The bar area was less appealing but much quieter than the dining area was on this day. Our waitress was very polite and knowledgeable regarding the menu. We ordered Arancini as an appetizer and received a warm bread basket with a dipping oil. The bread basket was very fresh and delicious. The Arancini were delicious, but quite small for the menu price. I ordered the Pollo Di Bacci with a side salad. The salad was a standard side salad with ranch dressing that was delicious. The main course was also very good, my only complaint was the Bacci pasta was a little over cooked. My husband ordered the Parmigiana with a bowl of the beef barley soup. The soup was neither good nor bad, just generic. The main dish was beautiful and the red sauce was delicious, however, the chicken was very tough with a soggy bottom. Our waitress was quick to replace the meal and my husband chose to change to the Rigatoni Alla Vodka. This dish was just okay, the prosciutto was very over powering making the entire dish taste like bacon. I enjoyed my meal and return, while my husband has little interest. read more

The menu used to have a great variety of steakhouse items, it is now an Italian restaurant. Which isn't bad, but the original Filippa's menu was so good! We took my mother-in-law for late lunch the day before mother's day. We arrived Saturday at 3pm. We were asked if we had a reservation, we said no. Husband was told that we could be seated, but we only had 90min due to reservations. Had we not had my mother in law I would have walked out. That is so rude! There are ways to handle that situation without telling someone up front they are on a time limit. I doubt all of your seatings are arriving all together in 90 min. There were 3 tables currently sat. You weren't busy. Food was bland. The salmon itself was good, but the sauce made it. There was no real seasoning it flavor to the veggies, potatoes, or salmon. $28. Salmon was cooked properly, but just bland. Dessert was the best part. ‍ read more

We went for my very picky mom's 94th birthday (lunch, because of the 94 year's old of it all). We chose it because it was close to where she lives and had a pretty tasty sounding menu. The atmosphere was lovely, if a little dated, and both our food and service (Jennifer) were outstanding! We had the shrimp and mussels apps, whitefish po'boy, and Michigan salad. Our server was a delight and all of our food was very good. We will put it on our list of mom-approved places ! read more

We came in saturday night and were promptly sat by the sweet host at the front. Our server Aaron zipped over and introduced himself before suggesting a few of his favorite cocktails. We chose the mango tango and my hubby got a beer. Aaron then suggested we get a spinach dip to begin before we dove into dinner. He suggested a couple more things for dinner and every choice he made for us was excellent. One of the best dinner experiences ive had recently. Phenomenal service, wonderful food and great vibe overall. Looking forward to coming here again! read more

Came here for my sister-in-law's 20th birthday. My fiance's ID is lost she had paperwork from the SOS and an expired photo ID and she was refused alcohol service. But honestly that was fine, annoying but fine. Food was good. Our server on the other hand not so much, he checked on us maybe a couple of times. But as a worker in the server industry myself, he could've done better. He gave us soft drinks for free (I'm sure because of the issue with the ID, in hopes of a better tip) we appreciated it and carried on with dinner. We got the free dessert for the birthday gal and got boxes. Last time we ate here our food was boxed up for us, so I'm not sure what changed or if our server was just amazing last time. But we waited probably a solid 10 minutes after being done eating before the check was handed over to us. I get the check because I was covering the dinner bill, but when I looked at it there was a 20% gratuity tacked on and circled in black pen (seemed a little passive aggressive, and might've been because we all look young maybe he didn't think he was going to get a tip) Our server then comes back and I ask him about it, because the menu DOES say for parties of 6 or more that there's an automatic gratuity, BUT there's only 4 of us. Which by the way I had no issue with paying the 20% gratuity even though our service sucked. He sharply inhales and says he can take it off, cool awesome thank you so much because it shouldn't be there in the first place. I was going to still tip him 20%, just write it in myself, HOWEVER he comes back to the table says that our drinks were free and duh I already knew that, then just slaps the check book in front of me and walks away. Just threw it on the table and left. Alright that was rude and actually aggressive. So of course now you've irritated me and I'm actually not tipping now because wtf? I just asked that something that insinuated I couldn't afford to tip be taken off of my bill?? So yeah food 10/10, our server was ass. read more

Wow! Came for New Years dinner went early because we did not have a reservation got there around 4 and place was starting to get picked up. They decorated the entire place for new years and had a dj stand you could tell they were going to party later one, they said the whole place was booked up after 6. I ordered the arancini came with 3 balls and they were divine; full of so much flavor. Got the lobster bisque soup and you can tell it is made fresh with fresh lobster in it, the cream was to die for never had a better soup before. Got the prime rib as the meal was larger than my hand and cooked to perfection, the aus ju sauce was also really good with it, had a lot of meat left over so made it into sandwiches the next day. So good, great job to the staff and servers as well place looked great staff was friendly and food was delicious. read more

This is NOT the Filippa's of old! The food was OK, but the menu is rather limited to basic Italian fare now and it feels like it used to be more extensive and diverse... Again, the food was OK. Nothing to write home about, but not bad. $22 for a bowl of rigatoni is borderline theft, but could be forgiven if it was homemade pasta or if it was like the greatest pasta that I've ever had, which is was not... The service however was AWFUL! We walked in at about 3pm on the Saturday before mothers days for a table for three and I was asked if we had a reservation and we did not... The place was pretty dead and I was asked if we could finish our dinner in 90 minutes because they had reservations to fill. I mean, we're not planning on spending the night here, but it really depends on you. How quickly can you get us out? I find this type of treatment to be very rude... if you can't fill a table, just turn us away. Don't give me a time limit. Our server was fairly slow and didn't even take drink orders; we had to ask for drinks ourselves and then when I asked for Thousand Island for my salad, so rolled her eyes and kind of grimaced and said that they don't have any, she paused, and then said but they can make it... Ok? You either have it or you don't. It was a very weird experience that she tried to make it sound like she was doing me a favor. You could have told me that you don't have it and I would have been fine with something else and never would have known... This may sound like a few petty complaints, but it's honestly just flat our rude and demonstrates bad service. There were one hundred ways that the service could have handled these "situations", but they chose to just be rude about it. We haven't been here in a long while; probably a number of years, but after yesterday, I certainly have no plans of going back. read more

Well unfortunately, as much as I love Filippa's on hall rd and mound, they did me dirty today. I have always been in their corner when people talked any crap about them on social media but what happened today has changed my mind a bit. I ordered off of their lunch menu for my husband and I after he got done with an important surgery. I figured the lunch menu had cheaper prices than the dinner menu (as most places with lunch menus do) and so when I saw lamb chops on the lunch menu for $17 I thought, wow that's a pretty good deal! So my husband wanted the lamb chops and I ordered them for him. We both love their lobster bisque and it was a $4 upcharge each, which we were definitely fine with that. So I thought the lamb chop lunch portion with the soup upgrade would be $21 total. When I showed up to pick up the food, I see that the lamb chops on the bill were $40! So I asked if they accidentally charged me the dinner prices, they said no and showed me the menu. The menu they showed me said the lamb chops were $36 and then with the $4 lobster bisque upcharge, that brought it to $40. I was like "wow, your website said the lunch portion is $17" (the entire time I was cool, calm and collected). The two women behind the to-go counter (one I believe was a waitress and the other I think may have possibly been a manager), were acting like I was looking at the wrong website and the one who I think was the manager said they would never have lamb chops that cheap and that if I see a restaurant with lamb chops that cheap then that's not a good sign and the only time I could possibly get them that cheap was if I went to the store and bought them myself. So I once again, insisted that their website said the lunch portion was listed at $17 and they kept acting like I wasn't looking at the right website. So the lady who I think was the manager was sitting at a computer but tried asking me to show her the website I was looking at (I left my phone in my car, so I wasn't able to show her) so she pulled up the Filippa's website on her computer and asked "did the website you looked at have these pictures on the main page" and I said "yes, I was looking at the right website, click on 'menu' then click on 'lunch' and scroll down to the bottom and you'll see the lamb chops are listed at $17." Sure enough, she saw what I saw (see picture attached for proof). She said "oh someone is getting fired! This isn't correct and needs to be fixed right away!" The waitress was standing right next to her and was the one who was trying to ring me up, she had her back to me but I could see her look at the manager and I don't know if she whispered or mouthed something but it looked like she may have said "should I honor the price?" or perhaps something along those lines and the manager shook her head no and then the waitress immediately turns around and says "so do you still want the lamb chops?" And I said "well yeah... I guess". At this point, my husband just got done with surgery and he really needed to eat something, I wasn't about to sit and wait for something else to be prepared. So they rang up the lunch portion of lamb chops at the full price and didn't offer any discount or anything to try and make this misinformation/situation right. I'm sorry, but I have managed restaurants before and if there was ever any issues like this that was mis-advertised, I ALWAYS tried to make things right somehow, that's just proper customer service and keeps regulars like me coming back. But instead they at first doubted me, made me feel gaslit, acted like I was crazy for thinking the lunch portion of lamb chops was $17 and then verified the price in front of my face with absolutely no intention of having excellent customer service. As much as I love the food at Filippa's, I don't think I'll be back for a while because that whole situation just rubbed me the wrong way. I can't believe how poorly this situation was handled. I wasn't expecting the meal to be free but they could have offered something to make me feel better about their pricing/advertising mistake! Filippa's customer service gets a 0/10 rating from me. read more

Firstly the service was great. Our server was friendly, efficient, and courteous. The food on the other hand was sub-par at best. There were 7 in our party and all feedback was pretty much the same. I started with the mussels and the only way to describe them was vile. The smell was so bad I had to cover them up. The clam chowder was good but my chicken entree was "off". Something in it and me did not get along. My wife had the white fish and it was full of bones. My friend ordered the shrimp scampi and said Olive Garden does a better job. read more

Been having lunch in the bar area here for years. Nice, chill atmosphere that they've redone, with quite a sophisticated feel. Markie and her friend are always reliable and serve with a smile. I usually order the Beef & Bleu salad which is phenomenal! When I first started having it, it was $19 and has since gone up to $22 and I never would've thought I could justify paying that for a salad but I make an exception here; it's like 2 meals in one. Such tender, juicy bites and it all together just works. The balsamic dressing pairs perfectly. I've also had the Shrimp alla Filippa's and it is an awesome little appetizer with 4 very decent sized pieces in a beautiful white wine sauce. Great place for a bite! read more

We come to this Restaurant at least twice a month, we came very late about 830p and we're very hungry. We asked our waiter" Gazmend" during our drink order to get us a Arancini, it was great. My wifes Chicken Marsala, she said it wasn't as good as last time!!! l ordered Chicken Sicilian, it was okay I normally order Chicken Parm, which is always great. That's what l get, for not sticking with my go to dinner. Our waiter was a 10 of 10, the best. We also heard Albanian music in the background, which is very close to Lebanese music, we loved it. l want to mention the young guys cleaning tables, they were right there on the spot, cleaning off table. Managers and staff are always accommodating. P.S. l am a very tough grader they were probably a 4.5. read more

Reserved for 12 people for Tuesday night. Our server Antonio was delightful and efficient. Everyone liked their food and most took some home cause the portions were so large. I really liked that Antonio served us bread while we enjoyed our drinks and waited for our food. We were the last to leave the restaurant but they never told us. Class act! My husband was highly impressed with the reasonable prices. The food is authentic Italian and large menu. I highly recommend - but make a reservation.

Snagged a reservation after trying unsuccessfully at other spots closer to where we were located. The star gazer lilies at our table seem to need a bit of TLC and removal of the pollen and bulbs inside, it's shedding the stuff. Wanted the calamari and the escargot but the calamari is already breaded and the escargot can't be made without the butter either. We ordered the salmon salad sans candied pecans and cheese, it comes with lemon vinaigrette and then the seabass or bronzini with green beans without the butter. The seabass comes with a house salad and ordered it with the balsamic vinaigrette. The wine glass lights above are cool and fun. The bathrooms smell and look clean. They are cleaning the tables and chairs between guests at least. It's quite busy in here, they might be adhering to the 6 feet between tables, but looks more like 50% full and not the 15% capacity. The side salad looked lifeless, dull and boring, mixed green and ice berg, the dressing is good at least. The food feels like it takes forever when you don't have any appetizers you can eat. The bronzini looked opaque and beautiful, pearlescent and white. It is cooked perfectly, it's a bit bland but lemon juice helped some. I taste a hint of butter in the fish prep, but not overpowering, although I didn't want anything in butter at all. The green beans that were supposed to come as my side ended up being yellow squash, zucchini and red onions too. The salmon salad was quite a good salmon portion. The lemon dressing was nice, a bit of extra sweetness from the dried cranberries too. Our waitress is good about cleaning off our table. We haven't seen her since our we finished our dinners. Finally got our bill, now we are waiting for the card to get swiped so we can leave. We left and the front area was so full off people, we hauled out of there quickly, so congested. Food was decent, as was the service. read more

Went here for the atmosphere on Saturday night. Did not disappoint. Pollo Di Bacci is the best item on the menu!

Made reservations at Fillipa's for my girlfriend's birthday. This place was on my commute route, I've literally driven by it a thousand times. The atmosphere was nice. Good variety on the menu. Decent wine list. The lobster bisque was delicious, and the escargot were very tasty. Unfortunately, those were the only positive aspects. Service was tepid at best. Despite having a party ordering drinks, sides, entrées, and desserts, I think the waitress spent a total of about 2 minutes at our table. Her attitude was one of total indifference. I had specifically mentioned in the reservation that it was a birthday, and she didn't ask or even acknowledge it. The bill was over $400. I usually tip 30%. She didn't get that. Outside of the highlights, the food was average at best. I had the lasagna. It was unimpressive. My girlfriend had the chicken Marsala. She said mine was far better. It did not live up to the reviews. I spent many years waiting tables in high-end restaurants and would have been embarrassed to give a customer the same experience we had. There are far better options for Italian cuisine in the area and at a far lower price point. I don't think we'll be returning. read more

Went here on a date after we couldn't get a seat at another restaurant nearby and omg I'm so glad we ended up here. The food was good but the ambiance was even better.
