    Roast beet salad
    Sherry W.

    First thing you notice is the rustic, but charming exterior with their greenhouses in the backdrop. Great ambiance and beautiful wood finishes from a 300+ year old barn. The fireplace in the sunroom/greenhouse seating area is very cozy. The foods and drinks were spectacular. Using seasonal and local produce and ingredients, the menu changes based on what's available or abundant. The farm to table approach and commitment to zero food waste is amazing. The roasted beet salad, bee sting flatbread, rainbow trout and braised beef short rib were so good. Everything was so fresh and had a touch of fire-roasted taste to it. My husband enjoyed their old fashioned so much, he got another one. My penicillin mocktail was also very good if you're into ginger and turmeric! Delicious!!! The staff signed a card for our anniversary and it was the sweetest gesture!

    Duck was perfect

    We experienced nothing but perfection at every interaction tonight. We were seated quickly, the ambience was spacious yet cozy, the personnel were friendly, and professional with perfect timing throughout the evening (thank you Emily). The food was also perfect. Our only regret was we were too full to keep ordering different entrées. The open kitchen allow us wonderful opportunities to see the perfection coming together from the whole team behind the line. The bar offered all the normal stuff, but I recommend their signature rum cocktails. We finished off the evening, sitting by the fire, enjoying a glass of wine. Pricing was reasonable and we will be back.

    Went here for my birthday and was not at all disappointed with the food or service! I ordered the sea bass and the waitress was nice and warned me it comes with the face, and even though I don't care if the fish has the face or not, it's nice that they were sensitive to those who may not like that. She even gave me a tiny homemade ceramic pig for my birthday before we left :) Great space too, as it's on a farm where they grow their own food and such.

    Chicken, gizzards, mashed potatoes, and rabbit
    Lindsay F.

    Hubby booked this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. They were nice upon arrival and wished us a happy anniversary. But nothing else special about it. The atmosphere is nice. Open kitchen concept so customers can see the cooks and servers while food is being prepared. I love this vibe! There was a beautiful fireplace but we were seating kind of far away from it so didn't get to enjoy it or feel it. Bar is very nice kind of in the middle of the restaurant. Live music was being played in another part of the restaurant. The menu has a couple of options. Not a big menu probably being a farm to table and having a specialized menu. Was really wishing for a steak, like filet, at a place like this. Meals don't come with sides so must get them a la carte. Drinks are on the pricey side, around $18 each. They are good but reminds me on downtown Detroit or city prices but in the suburb prices. Nothing fancy about the drinks just seasonal so that's probably all the hype around them. Food was good and tasted fresh. Chicken dinner was app. $30 plus $ to add side of mashed potatoes. Just not sure it was worth the price. The waiter was nice on the quiet side and only came around when he noticed something was needed. $200+ tip for chicken, rabbit, mashed potatoes, gizzards and 4 drinks. This is nice for a special occasion, but won't be on our regular restaurant list.

    What a wonderfully charming location! Located on 5 acres of land this charming dinner spot provides farm to table food in a barn that's made with 300-year-old beams. They have a huge garden area that you can view outside and they have a large outdoor seating area with heaters so even on a cooler night it provides comfortable dining experience. We were seated inside and were a party of six. It was a little tight at the table because we were right up against the wall, so there was very little room for our table chairs to go. We tried the stuffed peppers and the bread service as a starter and they were both delicious. For my main entrée, I had the chicken. It was moist and seasoned perfectly. The vegetables were delicious although they could've been cooked just a hair longer. I also have their version of their old-fashioned and it was delicious. Very well balanced.

    Tiki dinner
    Malisa R.

    My husband and I attended the tiki dinner event. We made reservations about 6 weeks in advance. Hoping this is an annual event! This was our first time to Sylvan Table so my review will pertain to the event versus the restaurant experience. The tiki dinner was outside near the barn. We were seated at communal tables. Love how we were greeted with a lei. My husband and I showed up in Hawaiian clothes too! Our five course dinner (really 7 courses) with 5 cocktails (mocktails were an option too) was incredible! I knew we were getting 5 courses, but the 5 cocktails was a surprise! I tried all the drinks but couldn't finish the last two. The Aloe-ha Spritz was so refreshing. One of my favorites! The night was so great. Each meal came out with a cocktail pairing. We had live music throughout dinner too. At the end of the night, we were surprised with fire dancers! Pretty incredible! Definitely want to come back and try dinner. I was able to take a sneak peek. It's beautiful. Absolutely love how beautiful the bar is!

    Loved everything about our experience! The farmhouse was so charming with all the rustic decor. The beef gnocchi was so good. Things were a bit slow but it was very busy so we didn't mind at all. Will be back!

    Chicken under a brick and pork belly
    Marissa F.

    Absolutely amazing service and food!!! Our server Miranda was so knowledgeable and sweet and made our meal enjoyable. The drink was so well balanced and perfect as well. Will DEFINITELY be back!!!!

    Mushroom dish and lamb sausage
    Liz P.

    My husband and I came here today for the first time, his birthday is tomorrow. We lucked out and got a reservation also today, I don't know if they opened up reservations late or something or just a slew of them opened up, but I grabbed a 6:15 p.m. one. Our waiter was Ian and he was very personable. We were seated at a table next to the kitchen, they have an open kitchen so it was pretty interesting to see. I do think next time I would have preferred sitting in the atrium-type area near the back of the restaurant but it was fun to see them work. We ordered: -Sylvan 75 for my husband -NA hibiscus drink for me, because I'm pregnant. Kind of expensive, $14, but with a sugar rim, and very tasty. -Asparagus. This was the only miss of the night for me, mostly because of the red pepper flakes making it a little spicy. -Mushrooms. Very tasty -Cavatelli - I was leaning towards getting the ribeye or pork but my husband suggested this, and I was glad he did because I really liked it. I'm pretty sure they make the pasta in-house and you can tell. -Lamb sausage. This was my husband's dish and he really enjoyed it as well. -Sundae. Again a little pricey, $12, but the strawberry syrup was great and they brought out a little candle for him as well. Overall I would definitely come back here, I would probably give it 4.5 out of 5 stars. They have a little outdoor area where you can eat also, there was a party there tonight though. (Outdoors but insulated) The one thing to be aware of is there is a 3% credit card fee. They are very transparent about this, it's posted on their reservation page and also around the restaurant, so we brought cash to use. It does irk me a bit when fine dining places do this, though. Other than that I thought everything was great and lived up to my expectations, I had been waiting to come here since it opened a few years ago.

    I am so inspired and impressed by this place. For so many reasons beyond the amazing Farm to Table menu options. Party of Six and everyone loved what they ordered. There is something for everybody here. I am a plant-based eater and had the most amazing zucchini noodle creation. They have cocktails and mocktails and healthy sodas and the space is magnificent wherever you sit. If I lived here, I would be here every week but I live in California so whenever I visit my family and friends, I will be back!

    Bone marrow and cocktails
    Aliza M.

    Every single time I've come here over the years it's been consistently delicious and wonderful service and atmosphere. We have closed out the restaurant repeatedly and they did not ever bother us. Servers went over and above for occasions giving cards signed by the staff and desserts. Seasonal drinks/menu, home made bread and emphasis on locally sourced fresh food is legit and ideal. This week their French onion soup was rich with flavor and would pay rent to live in it!

    Samoa old fashioned

    Went here for my birthday on a Sunday night, and I was so impressed!! Our server was Whitney, and she was extremely attentive, personable, kind, and professional. She was extremely knowledgeable of the food and drink menu, and gave very good recs of what to order. The chicken under a brick was delicious, and so was the Samoa old fashioned. Super good options for pork, seafood, chicken, and vegan options :) Once again, Whitney was the best!!

    Annie C.

    Sylvan Table is always such a treat. Everything we had was full of flavor and so fresh -- the kind of food that makes you slow down and really enjoy it. Dessert was the perfect finish, and the setting made it even better: flowers on the tables, twinkle lights as the sun set, and the dogs running through the garden in their little outfits. A place that always feels special without trying too hard. Been here 3x now!!

    Is Sylvan table kid friendly?

    The dining area (particularly outside) is probably kid friendly. The menu - maybe not so much, depending on the kid. For more daring eaters, possibly.

    What is the dress code?

    We were there for a 5pm Sunday dinner. People were dressed very casually. I'd go 'nice casual'. Friday or Saturday prime time evenings could be different--maybe someone else could answer that.

    Can we bring our own wine?

    Call them. I'm unsure if any other upscale restaurants allow you to bring in your own drinks but to be sure call them.

    Do you take walk ins? I see the reservations online are booked way out for a decent time?

    You can walk in and sit at the bar or the patio. I recommend getting there right when they open.

Choices are a bit limited where their entree's are an upscale burger/hotdog and mostly fusion style taco's like Bahn M Vietnamese chicken Taco's, 66 Birria Brisket Barebacoa taco's, Umami Bomb grilled tomato taco's, Baja fish taco's and Tempura fried Mahi tacos. Aside from the main entree's they also offer a selection of Tapas and salad selections For my first meal here I got their custom blend cheese burger that had caramelized onions, house made pickles, lettuce, tomato and a house sauce with fries. The burger was very tasty cooked to perfection with a medium doneness (no over cooking here unless you ask for it) where the sauce and pickles gave it a unique flavor profile that I liked. Fries were crunchy and nicely done as well. For my drink I ordered a house Margarita from their tequila inspired craft cocktail menu. The Margarita was very smooth and quite tasty and very reasonably priced at $10. MY only gripe with the drink is it was made with Reposadao tequila where my personal tastes trend towards a brighter Margarita and Blanco tequila. Having said that I could drink this Margarita all day long! Relative to staff and facility, the restaurant is definately on the rustic side where it could probably use an update on the ceramic floors and tables/chairs. It's not bad but it would add greater appeal if they invested a little more money on the interior in my opinion. Staff was super friendly and I enjoyed my conversation with my waitress who also served as the bartender. Overall the uniqueness of this menu and how good the taco menu looked will definately bring me back in the near future as I need to give those guys a try as well.

    This is the bar where I bought my first beer. I started going to this bar 20 years ago (I'm 36…read morenow) This is the quintessential dive bar. It is a place where the beer is cold and shots are overflowing. I don't think the owners have even heard of a jigger before. I will always have a sentimental feeling for this place. I learned to play cricket with some serious dart players and how to sand a shuffle board (It's gone now). They also have an eclectic jukebox. However, I have to warn that in typical dive bar fashion, this one is located in a pretty sketchy strip and may not be a place for the jumpy. Fortunately the North Oakland Medical Center (or whatever it is called now) is located across the street. If believe this place has either the oldest or one of the oldest liquor licenses in MI. In sum, if you are looking for a real dive bar, look no further than Prues.

I have to admit I was a little skeptical because of where it is located but from the moment we walked in everyone was extremely friendly! The drinks are pretty cheap as well so that was a perk.

Not sure that I will go back for that reason but other than that it's a pretty cool place!
