Made it into The Beverly during its first official night open, and was very impressed by how well-run the place is despite being so new. The staff was friendly and helpful, and though at times it took a bit for them to come back, it wasn't excessive and was better-than-expected for the first official night open. Food was very good. I split the Pigalle Burger (delicious, just as it is at Bar Pigalle), crudo, fries, and some deconstructed chicken pot pie (forgot the name of the dish) and all were yummy. Cocktails were good, though I wouldn't say great. My slight nitpick is the wine was being stored and served too warm (we ordered a bottle that they just grabbed from a shelf in the dining room), but to their credit, one of their staff members (Ivan) brought us a chiller, which made the wine taste much better later. All in, a very welcome addition to the upscale casual dining scene in the area, and I'll definitely be back! read more

4.5 stars! I finally got to try The Beverly in Berkley yesterday. On Wednesday nights they have a 1/2 fried chicken dinner special. OMG, I think this is the best fried chicken I have ever had! Even when I was full, I couldn't stop picking at the chicken and or the skin because it was so good! What I had... Drink: Teacher's Pet: Lunazul Blanco, Madarin Napolean, Lemon, Spiced Apple Tea Delicious! Not overly sweet, although I love sweet drinks. Main: 1/2 Fried Chicken with house pickles and cheddar biscuits. The biscuits were the only part of the meal that I didn't absolutely love and I think it's because they were served cold. When I eat cheddar biscuits (and I think we all know where I'm usually eating them), they're served warm. I wanted these to be more like that I guess? I ended up bringing them home so I can warm them up to see if I'm right. I don't know what the sauce was made of, but it was both sweet and spicy and I absolutely loved it! Side: Smashed Potato: charred onion relish & mustard. I think I was expecting more of a mashed potato, but these were roasted, smashed potatoes. They were still excellent! Nice and crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Perfect. Dessert: S'Mores: dark chocolate cremeux, graham tuile, and toasted meringue. VERY sweet, which I normally love, but a hair too sweet even for me. I think if the tuile had not also been sweet, it would have helped. None of that stopped me from eating the whole thing! read more

Tip #1- make a reservation! It was so incredibly busy on a Thursday night. Every seat was full at the bar for walk ins. We did have a 730pm reso and arrived at 710pm. Luckily we were sat at 720pm because we were quite hungry. Tip #2- it is very loud in here. It was quite difficult to hear anything our server said so if you are hearing impaired it may be better to choose a less "prime" time to go. The Beverly would benefit from some sound dampening. Appetizers- We ordered the bread board, golden beets and smoked chicken wings. Bread board- deliciously crusty focaccia with a giardiniera butter. This was a good bread, but not too memorable. Golden beets- a must order if you love beets and a really good way to try a beet if you don't! Absolutely delicious. I'd go back a thousand times for this. Smoked chicken wings- my husband said these were the best dry rub chicken wings he has ever had (I argue they are tied #1 with the dry rub wings at OWL). A must. *** Side note- we were incorrectly given the heirloom carrots. We immediately let the server know we ordered the beets not the carrots and she left these at the table. We did try one each and they were quite bland. A bit disappointing that it was kept on our bill considering we did not order this. Every time a dish has been incorrectly placed at our table before, it is comped as it was not part of the order. Could have been overlooked as they were busy, but still disappointing. We did not bother asking her about this when we received the bill so the fault is on us as well. Entrees- Lamb saddle chop- the beans!! So huge and so delicious. It was cooked perfectly medium rare and on the bone so a lot of flavor. Pigalle burger- when we ordered the server asked if we wanted a single or double patty so I asked if it was a smash burger and she said yes so we ordered a double. It is NOT a smash burger. The burger patty was ~1/2" so this ended up being a very large burger. I would've preferred a single but order a double if you have a large appetite! This burger was AMAZING. So much flavor and just perfectly made. read more

Great new addition in Berkley, located right across from the library. The parking is limited, but street parking is free. Inside the decor is clean with whites and blues. Gives the vibe of a summer cottage. The tables are a bit too close as the space is not large. We were seated in a corner window booth and the abundant light at sunset was lovely. Our server came over right away and was friendly and happy to answer questions. She was attentive and came back regularlyto check that everythingwas ok. Overall I'm happy with the service we received. The food menu is one page, not a large variety of dishes. My friends and I ordered a Pigalle Burger each, and a few sides to share. All the food was beautifully plated and presented. The burgers were delicious, juicy and flavorful. The grilled mushrooms over a chickpea base were quite good with an earthy slightly sweet flavor. The carrots were just ok, but the sauce that they came with, combination of a white sauce and chili sauce, saved the dish. The beets were bland for my taste. For dessert we tried the olive oil cake served with whipped ricotta and orange jam and the passionfruit chocolate sorbet. Both desserts were flavorful in the best way. The cake was sweet but the ricotta and tangy orange balanced it out. The combination of passionfruit and chocolate was as surprising as it sounds but it works. It's on the sour side and refreshing. The Beverly is a great addition to this little neighborhood! read more

Had a great dinner Sunday evening. We started with the Bread and butter board as well as the Coppa board and a cocktail which I forgot the name of but was really good. We both chose the 'Pot roast" special and ended with the Cobbler and S"more. Service was excellent and food delicious and prepared perfectly. Definitely will be back ' read more

Tried this newer restaurant for a work meal. We had a reservation and the place was fairly full. It is a chic place that you wouldn't expect to find on a corner in Berkley! The restaurant featured both small plates and regular meals. We tried: bread plate, beet salad, mushrooms, chicken wings, the half chicken dinner and the Thursday pork special. Everything had a unique twist and came out delicious. The spices on the wings made those stand out as well as the nuts and grapefruit in the beet salad. The servers were helpful with recommendations and attentive (since we ordered so much food they needed to clear the table for our main courses). The main courses varied in size (pork was huge, chicken was small for being a 1/2 chicken), so ask for advice if you are only ordering 1 item. read more

Wow! This place was amazing! The service was what truly set our dining experience apart from other fine dining adventures we have had, and trust us, we have had many! The Beverly is owned by the same owners as Bar Pigalle. Since going to New Orleans I have grown to love French food. I still have not been to Bar Pigalle so I was super excited to try The Beverly. This is a beautiful, light and airy restaurant with a large bar. We had reservations but were able to sit at the bar, which is our preferred spot. Everyone staff member treated us wonderfully. You really got the feeling like you were the most important person there despite it being quite busy. We were unsure what we wanted cocktail wise so the bartender made us a special drink made with absinthe that he made up and a got a NY sour. I adore NY Sours and haven't had one in a while. So yummy. The menu was extensive and I had a hard time choosing. We decided on the Bar Pigalle Burger which was a double smash patty and it was AMAZING! I chose the trout and let me tell you! The presentation was so beautiful that I didn't want to eat it and ruin it. But it was delicious! I was eyeballing the carrots that the couple next to us ordered and just had to have some. Holy smokes. They were delectable!! I want more!!! I guess you can tell that I recommend coming here. I was also pleasantly surprised that it was not at all overpriced for the experience, atmosphere and quality. Now I truly can't wait to go to Bar Pigalle! read more

Beverly is a modestly set restaurant that, from the outside, doesn't catch your eye--just a simple exterior. Inside, the vibe is also pretty plain--nothing really stands out. However, the food was a pleasant surprise. The burgers, in particular, stole the show--juicy and flavorful, a real highlight. We started with a few appetizers: the mushrooms were absolutely excellent, while the carrots were just okay, and the beet appetizer fell in the middle--mediocre, at best. For dessert, we had the ricotta olive oil cake, which I found a touch too sweet, though my friends loved it. The passion fruit chocolate sorbet, though, was a standout--bringing a tangy twist to chocolate. Overall, Beverly was above average. I'd come back, though I do hope the service improves--our server was pleasant, but she was slow to bring items, forgot our lemon, and only checked in with us few times at the very end. read more

Our first visit to the Beverly. Very excited to go as we are HUGE fans of Bar Pigalle in Detroit. This can't take its place, but we live in the suburbs, so sometimes we just don't want to go all the way downtown for a great meal. Location is nice, but very limited parking, & they were hopping already at 5:30 on a Wednesday. There is a free public parking lot nearby & that is where we parked, as the area close to the restaurant was already full. Inside is very cute, the bar area looks great, with shelves on the side windows. Room at the front is brighter, especially since it faces west at sunset. There's a room in the middle that looks darker, more moody---that's where I want to land next time, or the bar (is it walk in only? I don't know). We had cocktails that we were very pleased with. Oysters, bread & salad all landed at the exact same moment, which would not be our preference. Oysters first, please, then bread & salad. Our server was quite young & possibly not very experienced, she frequently wanted to take things away when we weren't ready, but was polite. Very noisy interior, our server was quite soft spoken & we frequently had trouble hearing what she was saying. Tables are mostly pretty close together. Maybe add some sound deadening tiles over head? Conversation is quite difficult. We shared oysters, the bread (ciabatta & a jardiniere butter, super delicious!) & the radicchio salad, which was very very good. Then we shared the mushrooms & the trout. Both were fantastic. The mushrooms had a very lemony flavor over some hummus. We'd get all these things again! I'd go 5 stars if our server was the caliber of Bar Pigalle--they really make the experience top notch. Definitely highly recommend the Beverly, but also go to Bar Pigalle. read more

I was so excited to try The Beverly and it did not disappoint!! Service and food was 10/10! We also enjoyed their martinis - both dirty and espresso were fabulous. From start to finish the experience was exceptional. Will be returning - so excited to have this spot in the neighborhood! read more

I went here for the first time this week, it was bustling on a Wednesday evening. Though we waited a little bit longer than usual for our food, it was understandable as the place was packed. The food was definitely worth the weight, we got oysters and burgers. It's a top three burger I've ever had! Did not disappoint. read more

Where do I begin? We loved The Beverly! I can't remember the name of our cocktails, but it was a refreshing gin drink with grapefruit and lemon and it did not disappoint. Next, we had the baked oysters with breadcrumbs. Whatever that delicious sauce is that they marinate the oysters in, I need more of it!! It was so delicious. My husband had the grilled shrimp and french fries. He can be a picky eater, but he had no complaints and loved his meal. I had what is best described as a deconstructed chicken pot pie. It was marvelous and I enjoyed every bite. I also had a side of the carrots and whipped feta to go along with it and they were also fresh and delicious. There was no room for dessert as we were stuffed. However, I will definitely be back to the Beverly. The interior is beautiful and it had a very welcoming and modern aesthetic. It was a full house and yet we still felt taken care of and the service was top-notch. There's a very small parking lot, but we were able to park right next-door to the restaurant. Perfect follow up to Bar Pigalle!! Well done!! read more

Outstanding! Every single thing we had was exceptional. An unforgettable experience of fabulous flavors and a fantastic addition to Berkley and the surrounding communities. We can't wait to come back and try more! read more

The Beverly - BREAD BOARD Warm Focaccia, Giardiniera Butter - American Near Me - Berkley, Michigan

Shared a few of the small plates last night. Enjoyed everything we ordered. The favorites though were probably the mushrooms and beet salad. Will be back to try it again. read more

As foodies, we wanted this to be good based upon all the hype, unfortunately we were sadly disappointed. The Beverly, seems to have an identity crisis. Is it family friendly or upscale dining. Either way an "elevated" smash burger doesn't belong on the same menu as a $70 NY strip steak. We had 5:15 reservations for "date" night and were promptly walked to what I consider the worst table in the house... opposite the servers station at the end of bar and next to the kitchen/ restroom doors. My wife knew right away that would not due and asked for a something else, the hostess (1/3 of my age) offered us the seat right next to it. Are you kidding me, there are open tables at the window, and my wife is dressed to the nines. It got worse from there when I learned if you want the Oysters you have to take what they give you. Not being able choose the west coast oysters I passed on what would have been at least a dozen and a half to two dozen. The cheese plate came out before our drinks; the service was horribly slow. The place was about a quarter full and couldn't keep up. The smash burger was elevated Burger King, and the mac-n-cheese was uneatable. We spent a $140 (before tip) to learn the Beverly is all it's hyped up to be. Nice decor, though. The bottom line is I'm sure they'll do fine, because to many folks have gotten used to paying top dollar for just ok food. But if I want a great burger and award winning mac-n-cheese there's a "garage" on Woodward. For an incredible assortment of Oysters there's a place in Birmingham and another much closer on main street. For killer family friendly comfort food, there's the hidden gem across the street from CVS. For us this was a "one and done" experience. read more

We couldn't wait to try The Beverly with friends. The drinks are fabulous and the staff was fantastic.

Had great time Loved it. Everything Food, Service, Space fabulous. Will definitely be back.

Love the vibe and the service. But tonight's meal was nearly inedible because it was so salty. I had the half roasted chicken and the carrots. I was hungry, so I ate them, but I would never order those items again. Hoping for better next time read more

Food and service was excellent! Craft cocktails were very small. Order wine instead.

My rating might be higher if we'd had a different server. As soon as we sat down, our server told us it was the restaurant's policy for customers to order ALL of their food at once. I asked if we could order our entrees after our appetizers as we do in other restaurants. Server replied that The Beverly "wasn't like other restaurants." Server then "forgot" my entree. I shared my husband's meatloaf. I left hungry. Drinks were good. Food was good. Service was inexplicable. read more

We hosted 10 family members for a celebratory dinner and everyone was so impressed. Having eaten here prior, we knew the food was amazing, but it's an accomplishment to serve 10 and have it all go well. The chefs and managers worked together to curate a menu for the table. Loved this idea! The courses came out timely and presentation was impeccable. Cannot say enough good things about the staff. Ryan, Jess, Kimberly, Ron, Adam and Belle-Thank you. To the remaining unnamed staff and servers bringing our table the many plates, we know numerous people worked hard there to make it go so smoothly. Thank you. Can't give it more stars, but surely would. Make a reservation and enjoy! read more

The service and the food were amazing. Ron took great care of us his recommendations were excellent. The burger was amazing.

Unbelievable addition to Berkley! We were fortunate to attend the friends and family opening. We had the Sausage and mash potato puree as well as Shrimp. Both excellent. We began our food adventure with a cheese plate and beautiful glass of white that server recommended. The staff was on point and service as a whole was perfection! The restaurant itself is curated in neutral colors and you can tell every detail was well thought out. Can't wait to return and try more dishes! read more

Somewhat limited menu so, review prior to committing. 3 of 4 at the table had the Thursday Porchetta special. There were no obvious complaints but, I got the feeling no one would order it again. I had the mussels. Plentiful and well prepared (difficult to discern what are apps vs entries). Server commented on great broth for "sopping" but, to do that you had to order the upcharged bread service. If there's sopping broth, serve bread with the selection! Drinks were fine and servers were attentive and efficient. Nice ambiance that will be nicer once shades are installed to block the blinding sunsets. Wednesday's fried chicken special sounds interesting but, probably won't be rushing back as menu selection wasn't very inspiring (wings, burger, dip, sausage...) Our nights out tend toward more upscale (our preference, maybe not yours) and this didn't fit that bill. Happy we tried it and may return with different expectations. read more
