Wow. This place really raises the bar in every way possible…read more The drinks and desserts are the best I have had IN MY LIFE. Yes that's right. My husband said he had the nest hazy ipa of his life here too. A wild claim for foodies like us. They offer takeout in case you don't feel like crowding inside. AND they have the only pickle plate appetizer I have been able to find in the state of Michigan. Oh how i have missed these house pickles in different brines. The bartenders are not only incredibly talented and knowledgeable, they are friendly, cool, and so interesting! I think every single bartender I talked to over there had these attributes, and some even went above and beyond that too. I know, hard to believe, and the price tag matches. At least they are neither under or overrated? I come here for the bar atmosphere, the impeccable drinks and desserts and sometimes a snack. I prefer to go elsewhere for fresh oysters and dinner.

So glad we did…read more They were doing a summer happy hour on the back patio with drinks, food and a live DJ playing everything from quirky '70s French music to Japanese tracks. Super mellow and perfect for a summer night. The staff was young, friendly and attentive and our server was great. Food is mostly tapas and various types of paella, with a solid drink selection including sangria. We tried a little bit of this & that and enjoyed it all. Yes, it's a little pricey, but you feel like you're somewhere worthy of the higher price tag. Great date night joint with a chill vibe. And FYI, the patio is dog-friendly!

The staff are all very personable and welcoming. The food is crazy good. I got the chefs table tasting menu and was quite pleasantly surprised. The first course was a Welsh rarebit (which I've never had before but is kind of like a piece of toast). The bread was perfectly toasted, crispy on the outside and soft (almost pudding like) inside. I think it was sourdough. The Mahon cheese melted on it reminded me of a delightful Croque monsieur. The dollops of mustard/lager sauce were sweet and paired nicely with the savory toast and the bitter arugula. The second course was Parisian gnocchi, which I guess means they are made from pate a choux. They were crispy outside and pillowy within, and sat on some perfect snap peas that were fresh and crisp. The peas were held together in a subtle ramp puree. I don't often get to eat fresh peas in season, and I was shocked that they were so tasty and firm. The third course was a lamb shoulder braised in Membrillo ( a quince paste), served in a ssam style with Kim chi and curry rice. This dish was the one that did it for me. The membrillo gave the lamb shoulder an incredibly deep umami flavor, while also imbuing it with a Carmel burnt sweetness. The recipe didn't use doenjang or gochujang or soy sauce, but got to a similar level of umami. Wrapped with some Kim chi, herbs, and the curry bomba rice in lettuce, it made for a rich and complex flavor bomb in each bite. I was also super pleased that it was a very generous portion. You don't always get that in a tasting menu. The final course was a very delicate bread ice cream, which was made with the membrillo and covered with almond cookie and mint oil. The ice cream was so delicate it was at times almost like marshmallow fluff, and the mint oil really contrasted nicely with the bready sweetness of the ice cream.

We decided to do the four course chef's dinner to try a variety of things. There is also an optional wine pairing, which one of our guests at the table did and loved! I opted for take on the gin and tonic, which was smooth and refreshing. First course was a delicious cheesy toast. The bread tasted like it had just been baked that same day. Next step we had the softest gnocchi, with sliced pepperoni. It was such an interesting combination and very delicious. The main course was a very tender lamb and risotto dish. The lamb was very flavorful. We finished things off with a sourdough ice cream that was garnished with a mint syrup. It was unlike anything I had ever tasted before and it was very good. Our waiter frequently checked in on us, and there are two individual restrooms in the restaurant. I had a wonderful time and I would definitely go back!

Bread service is a unique take on sourdough with a delish jalapeño butter! Soo amazing we found our new place we will be frequenting! Can't wait to come back and try more! We loved our sweet/attentive waitress and awesome oyster shucking man at the bar! We will get their names next time! Food came out promptly and we were well taken care of! Restaurant has a very nice spacious sit down area inside and outside and a very nice big bar to sit at. Music wasn't loud and very nice ambient lighting. Great food, people and prices! Thank you, thank youuu:) pictures to come next time!

We didn't learn our lesson…read more Again we wanted to enjoy outdoor dining, and opted for Plymouth to escape the crowds after the game. Service being less attentive than one would expect was again the issue. It took inordinately long for each segment of the meal to be attended to (even ordering), and some of the service - like the person who first brought our waters - seemed like the guy would have rather been anywhere else, because he dropped them and couldn't run away from the table fast enough. Kitchen is not in sync, as we received our entrees about 10 minutes apart. At one point before we had ordered our meal I suggested we just cut our losses and go. We ultimately stayed, but really felt that the bad service dampened the experience. It's loud inside, so I doubt we will come during the cooler weather. Maybe things can improve before next year's patio season.

They were deliciously warm. I recommend trying the sauces also (but honestly the empanadas are delicious on their own) as they have some sauce packets that come with your order if you want. I got chimichurri and chipotle mayo. We got an assortment of beef (everyone liked this best), chicken (I really liked), pork (this one is a bit sweet with a subtle BBQ sauce). This makes for a super fast, but filling lunch. I would definitely recommend this place. Service was excellent. Parking is free. There is a lot of construction around the restaurant. I would say carry-out is probably best (I can't remember but they may have had one or two small tables inside- maybe??). They are located right across the street from Guernseys (little plaza that has Jets Pizza). Yum, can't wait to go back!

It's not a place I would go to regularly but I'd definitely order from them again.

The foundation for a good meal here is a frita - a fried patty with bread and toppings like an egg and/or tropical slaw and shoestring French fries.

From flavors like passion fruit to coconut cream to hibiscus, the lean more sweet than fresh fruit but make for a good refreshing drink for after a long day! The fritas are SO good with the tropical slaw! This will be my new spot in A2!!! One note: the way food is delivered to tables is by shouting out the name which can be impossible to hear for yours when it's extremely packed (which is usually the case).

You can try small 1.25 oz tastes or go straight to a full pour from a dozen or more different wines, so it is easy to experiment without overthinking it. Bring a charcuterie board, settle in, and you are all set. Simply Wine is a great neighborhood spot and we are lucky to have it in Northville.
