    Good drinks
    Bob S.

    The food here was outstanding. Classic Irish pub done to perfection. The ambience was exactly what you'd want for a down home feel without any bougie updates. I'm buying all that with great service and you will have a spectacular evening of feeling at home, eating great, and enjoying the night out.

    I have not been to Kennedy's until my friend told me to try it out. She didn't disappoint in this recommendation. The food is amazing and I'm slowly becoming a regular as I start trying new food items. My friend is already a regular and I can see why. The staff is super fun and friendly. Very down to earth. The atmosphere is welcoming and reminds me of a bar that is close like Cheers. Especially with how they talk to the regulars and treat other guests. I highly recommend this bar.

    We had been dealing with a whole lot of nonsense that needed to be taken care of at the Oakland County Court House. Afterwards we needed some beers and food. This is where we chose to have them. Great choice. Just a dive bar nothing super special. PBR is cheap. The waitress was helpful and very nice we split the wrap. Yum. Definitely would get that again. Not in this area often but I would come back.

    Kennedy's is a local and well known (and well loved!) Irish Pub with some unique stuff hanging all over the place, you can basically look around at all the cool stuff and wonder what it is or it's history. Is there any? It's definitely one of a kind! I stopped in on Monday for a drink (or two) and a snack. Their service is top notch, very friendly and super helpful staff. I had some potato soup and chicken tenders, both were great! A few of my friends recommended other dishes to try. My lemondrop martinis were awesome and it's just a great watering hole and somewhere to unwind after a stressful work day.

    Very nice Irish themed bar that also has what I view as an expanded menu for a bar operation. For…read moremy first visit here I got a 1/2 Lb Beach burger That is basically a loaded Cheeseburger with Bacon. The burger was well cooked, nice juiciness, quite tasty and definately a notch above most of the burgers in the area. The included house made chips were OK but not to the level of the burger where in hindsight I probably should have upgraded to fries. Lastly the House margarita, of which I had three, were quite large, cheap at $6 and quite tasty. Small gripe though I thought they were light on the tequila as I should at least have felt at least a tingle in my toes after three but alas no tingle (:. Light alcohol aside at $6 this was still quite a deal for such a tasty drink. As stated earlier the Irish theme and green colors everywhere really added a lot to the overall dining experience. Staff was soooo friendly with great follow up throughout and clearly a strength of this business. Overall We had a great time at a very reasonable cost and will be back for sure in the not to distant future!

Inside and out they definitely fit the bill. It's one's of those places that probably has the same customers that come back regularly so it feels like it's part of the community. The lady behind the bar was very courteous and suggested the Irish chimichanga, which was essentially a giant fried egg roll stuffed with corned beef and came with a thousand island dressing for dipping. I was satisfied with the food, but the coleslaw wasn't all that great and the chimichanga was a little overcooked on the outside for me. Their menu is quite large so no one should have a hard time finding something they like. I definitely recommend this place, but only when you're unwinding and hanging out with friends.

It was packed on a Sunday near 6 PM with one cook and one server. Ordered the cheese curds and Reuben. Both were delicious and would get them again. For two Reuben's and one cheese curd order, the bill with tax was $37, which is slightly high in my opinion. Also, I was hoping for kettle chips or more a homemade chips, but the sandwiches come with a bag of Lays potato chips, unless you upgrade the side. Tip: if you like 1000 island on your Reuben, I'd recommend getting a side instead of it being on because you get more.

The parking situation is a little weird, the lot is basically to the left of the restaurant, and if you try to park in the plaza to the right of it, there are signs up saying they will tow you. My friend and I started out with the baked feta, which was delicious. I don't really like olives so I asked for those on the side. It came with tomatoes on top and naan bread for dipping. For our entrees, I got the chicken limone - chicken piccata is one of my favorite dishes and this is very similar. It's $29 which I thought was a bit expensive but you do get a gigantic portion, I brought half of it home. My friend got what she thought was a salad but it was more of like a Mediterranean small chicken dish, and she got a side of the beef tallow fries, which we both thought were expensive at $7, but it was very tasty and she said it was worth it. Everything on the dessert menu looked great but we ended up splitting the campfire funnel fries, and it came out in the shape of a campfire! Very nice presentation. Waitservice was a bit slow, we had a separate person coming to refill our water and overall that was consistent until the end though. That being said, the food and the atmosphere was great so I would return another time.

Waze was instrumental in finding this hidden gem as it's tucked behind a fairly blah stretch of Orchard Lake Road. Turn down what is basically a residential street and Sylvan Table appears like a rustic Phoenix! TS saw my eyes light up as I soaked it all in. The owners have moved an antique Maine barn to Sylvan Lake Michigan and created a beautiful (if a bit barren and cold in December) oasis. The inside is as inviting as the outside with a beautiful space buzzing with activity on a cold December night. A Roaring fireplace and beautiful Christmas decor set the stage for a wonderful evening. We were seated upstairs at a nice corner table and the super friendly server was there in a flash to take our drink order. I had my usual, Grey Goose Martini on the rocks with bco's, TS opted for a house Pinot Grigio. Both hit the spot taking the chill off and were delicious. Our server went over some specials, and the menu had a varied selection of great sounding entrees. We started with a charcuterie board with their own house made crackers, cheeses and meats including a decadent pate'. And as an added bonus we were brought a few roasted brussel sprouts with cranberry chutney, fantastic! For our main course TS opted for the pork chop with root vegetables and I had the roasted chicken with the same sides. Both were delicious and juicy being cooked over a wood fire! Now Sylvan Table is a farm to table restaurant which could be daunting on a long cold Michigan winter. And part of the farm must be on their 5 acres. I bet those root vegetables were picked and stored on site for use all winter just like an old timey farm. Ee ate like we hadca tip on a famine and washed it down with a big bold red. But there was still room for more. For dessert we split a slice of Buche Noel and some coffee. The dessert was a work of art. As we made our way out we realized we were the last ones there. So after a picture in front of the Christmas tree we were gone. All in a magical experience with food, service and ambiance that can't be beat. And the company, well that goes without saying! So try out ST before everyone finds out about it! Sylvan by name..sylvan by nature. Sylvan Table...Go!

Mya was our server and she went above and beyond. One of our kids ordered french toast, and somehow we missed that it was topped with a fruit compote.

We declined because we wanted our daughter to try it before she made up her mind, and learn from the experience.

I was a little disappointed initially to be seated at the short bar as it makes me feel like I'm in elementary school due to the height, but this was a busy Saturday morning so I understood as it seems there are limited 2-tops, etc and this visit was at peak hours. It was nice to see the daylight coming through the windows which also made this a relaxing venue. While I was sitting there I was able to observe a lot as the short bar is next to the case displaying many delicious treats. I really laughed to myself as I noticed a couple of future Yelper's (one was 2-year toddler and his probably 4-5 year old sister (possibly celebrating a birthday) make a prompt trip to checkout the dessert offerings first! They were obviously "regulars". I was greeted by one of the wait staff, Mya, who was friendly, served me a coffee and indicated my server would be with me soon. I appreciated seeing the teamwork among the staff. I was eventually served by Owen who was helpful and I ordered an egg white frittata which came with a side of mixed fresh fruit. While I was waiting on my food, I had a vantage point where I could see several entrees come out. I also witnessed one of the two Chefs smiling as he was looking at and preparing the orders which I found interesting. The frittata included spinach, tomatoes, goat cheese, apple chicken sausage, and was delicious. I was still a little hungry, so I realized the future Yelpers mentioned earlier had it right, and I ordered a carrot cake cupcake which Owen mentioned was a good choice. The frosting was delicious and the moist carrot cake was tasty as well. The overall restaurant was hustling and bustling on this morning, I had my coffee cup refilled multiple times and even noticed additional children observing the case with the desserts. I enjoyed the overall experience and did not feel rushed at all, but more like a customer!
