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.

The oyster selection is great, and we never come without getting the seafood tower. Everything is always fresh, the ambiance is spectacular, and the staff is incredibly accommodating. It's one of those places where the atmosphere is just as much a part of the experience as the food. The only thing that can be tricky is parking, and I'd recommend checking if there's a private event happening outside before you go. They normally don't take over the entire patio, but depending on the event, it can get a little rowdy. Otherwise, such a great little spot and one I'm always happy to come back to :)

I haven't been to the patio yet (tried a couple weeks ago but they closed it because it had rained earlier) but it looks very nice. Service is always friendly and quick, and I've spoken to the chef a couple of times and he's very friendly. As for the food, I think they have the best oysters in town, and they have a wide variety of them. The new ribs they got on the menu are delicious. I must admit I wasn't as impressed with their steak (I expected it to be more flavorful), but that's just one item I didn't enjoy as much. The rest of the food I've really enjoyed -- even the shoestring fries. Will definitely be back!

Kids and parents alike could not stop raving about the place. The food was excellent. The service was beyond excellent. I felt like I was in Miami throwing a poolside party. The ambiance couldn't have been better. There were two separate occasions where I needed to make major changes to the plans, both included rescheduling the dates. I spoke to a gentleman named Anthony who accommodated all of our requests. It felt as if he treated our party like his own. The best part, after the party was over and everything was already paid for, he called me the next day to make sure everything was perfect. He didn't need to do that. He could've been done with us and moved on to the next party, but he called and made sure we were satisfied. I will be referring this establishment to anyone who will listen to me.

The staff could not be any nicer, very accommodating, checked in on us tons, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome and take care of us. When I first arrived, my friends thought they had happy hour, but they discontinued it at some point I guess. But the gentleman, perhaps a manager, gave us special drink prices, which was very kind. I had their cosmo which was a good price and was okay. My friends ate here. They had the grilled Caesar salad which looked delicious. They said it was very good. Another friend had the wings, which she enjoyed. I also though the Maurice at another table looked really good. I love a Maurice and would consider coming back with friends for food again. But the menu was super pricey which makes me hesitant because things are tight at this point. But it is a cute club house and I am happy it is open to the general public and not just golf club members. (although I do not golf in general and do not even know if this is a private club or open to the public).

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.

I've been visiting Vine 2 Wine for two years now and plan on returning for many years to come. My…read morefirst wine bottling started as a birthday gift following a recommendation from my boss. Since then I've been back three times to bottle new wine with a fourth bottling scheduled in a few weeks. The process is fun and simple and always begins with store-owner Mark's custom greeting (I won't spoil it here). You or your group will be presented with samples of available varietals and blends along with some crackers to cleanse the pallet between tastings. Keep in mind you are tasting extremely young wine at this point which is just starting to show it's potential body and texture. Following your preferred selection (we like to guess each varietal and keep a running ranking) Mark takes over the heavy lifting and notifies you 8-10 weeks later when it's ready for bottling. If you enjoy wine tasting, bottling is a unique experience unto itself. You may bring your own cleaned bottles from home or purchase new wine bottles if necessary. Standard labels are available for each varietal or you can print your own. Bottling involves pumping wine through an aerator into each 750ml bottle, using a special press to apply the cork, sealing the cork topper over a tea kettle and affixing a label to the cleaned bottle surface. And of course you are sampling your current wine or future purchases the entire time. Your wine must stay vertical for a week after bottling before laying flat. I recommend storing your wine for 3-6 months before opening the first bottle and from that point opening a new bottle every few weeks to taste the difference in the aging process over the following 6-18 months. What started as a gift to myself has grown into a quarterly hobby for a small group of my wine loving friends. We start the tasting process fresh after each bottling and use the downtime to come up with new wine label designs and enjoy previous purchases. I hope your visits to Vine 2 Wine turn out as well as mine!
