We were sitting at a nearby eatery having a cocktail outside when we saw table 5 setting out and…read morepreparing their tables, chairs, napkins, tablecloths with such care. I then consulted Yelp and we decided to give Table 5 a try. The interior is very pretty, decorated nicely with a good mix of tables to allow some privacy. We opted to dine outside because it was such a beautiful evening in Northville. We were seated at a cozy table and met with a hospitable server who made the meal even better. They start you off with house made bread with whipped, flavored butters. The special butter of the day was banana bread flavor. Oh my, what a treat! I love the creativity and the effort! It was very much appreciated! We had a lovely and I mean very lovely appetizer which was the whipped ricotta with peaches, toasted pistachios and blueberries. It was served with herbed bread and this was nothing less than spectacular! I couldn't stop dipping. The mains were the filet with whipped mashed potatoes along with asparagus. This was devoured and resulted in being a member of the clean plate club. Kudos to the chef, perfect steak! We also had the wedge salad with green goddess dressing. This was really tasty, fresh and filling. We were so full and satisfied so their famous butter cake will have to wait until our next visit. I hope that will be in the very near future! Table 5 is definitely on our favorite restaurant list!

Stopped by on a whim, and was more than pleasantly surprised!…read more Atmosphere was warm and inviting which was only complemented further by the awesome servers! Food was ON POINT! It's refreshing to see an establishment committed to quality on every level with such an extensive menu (plus the prices were very reasonable). My complements to the chef and his team for the knock out job--give that man a raise. My only gripes were that the water glasses themselves were a little petite, and I'm not a fan of suggested tip inflation (i.e., 25%, 30%...), but these were a drop in the bucket compared to the experience I had. Not only will I be back for seconds, but I'll be bringing my friends and family here in the future--I suggest you do the same. Overall: 9.7/10

My dining experience here was great! Typical pub style restaurant. We had a reservation and were…read morequickly set up upon arrival. They have a pretty nice size menu with a lot of great options. A cool thing about their menu is their sliders. You get to choose whether you want a small or a full size. The idea is to be able to pick different sliders to choose to eat. I decided on the park bowl which came with white rice topped with sesame seeds, avocado, seaweed, and carrots. I added a salmon fillet. It was so fresh and delicious - and VERY filling! I also ordered the calamari for an appetizer and that was pretty tasty as well. I did have a cocktail, it was OK, I really didn't taste any liquor and it was a little bit more sweet than I would have liked.

Overdue for an update! Recently I've enjoyed a few different experiences here and all of them have…read morebeen solid. The first was delivery and it arrived perfectly prepared and exactly as ordered. I went with the seafood pasta and my family split an order or arancini. Everything was excellent. A few weeks later I came back through for dinner with some friends and we landed on the heated patio. It was cozy and comfortable. We split the bruschetta with prosciutto, goat cheese, and fig spread. Very good! For my entree I went with the asiago baci, little purses of an asiago and ricotta stuffed pasta tossed in a garlic cream sauce with tomatoes and asparagus. So so good! And a nice sized portion as well. For dessert we split a slice of the lemon torte. Light and delicious. The perfect end to the meal. I was there catching up with friends and we definitely moved a little slower ordering (too busy talking!) and our server was really kind and patient with us. A great experience all around.

I've been back to Nico and Vali's twice within the last month, and was pleased with both visits…read more One our first trip, my husband and I tried the Spaghetti Bolognese and the Short Rib Special. The meatballs in the spaghetti dish were delicious. Flavorful and not dried out. The sauce tasted like it had been cooked with love. I also liked the short rib. The sauce had been elevated with some wine, and the meat was tender and rich. The accompanying potatoes were so creamy. I would order both dishes again. We each got a dessert. My husband got the tiramisu and I got the chocolate cake. I guess the tiramisu was just ok. I loved the chocolate cake. On our second visit, we tried the Rigatoni Caprino and the Chicken Marsala Florentine. Of the two, we liked the rigatoni better. It had that super red sauce on it. The sausage was on point, and the goat cheese complimented the rest of the dish so well. The marsala was good, though my husband I agreed we had both had better. The sauce just lacked something. My husband wasn't that impressed with the Crème Brûlée cheesecake, and wouldn't order it again.

We came on a Wednesday evening and I was so shocked to find the parking lot so full! And walking in, I was just as shocked to see how big this place was on the inside. Plenty of seating for sure! Of course we had reservations so that was nice and probably highly recommended. We enjoyed the bread and butter provided to the table as we mingled. They even had gluten free bread ($5 extra). We all ordered a variety of foods. I ordered the waygu meatloaf with mashed potatoes & string beans and it was really enjoyable. It was like eating an elevated home-cooked meal. Everybody was genuinely satisfied. And they provide separate checks so that was also a nice addition to our evening.

We drove over an hour for our first visit to Karl's. Unfortunately, we were a bit underwhelmed with…read morethe food. Husband and SIL both ordered the cowboy pork chop and both disliked the overwhelmingly sweet taste. It is served with a bacon-onion jam and must have also been rubbed with a very sweet seasoning. They asked the waiter what was rubbed on it and he did not know. He said he would ask the kitchen but never got back with an answer. They would not order the pork, again. Daughter's French onion soup was tasty. My shrimp and scallop Angelina was under seasoned and the sauce was a bit watery. Pasta did not seem house made. The shrimp and scallops were tasty. Appetizers were good. We had baked mozzarella sticks, which essentially tasted like mini Stromboli and crab dip, which was fine. Bread service with butter was delicious. Grand daughter's spaghetti and meatball was good, although the meatball was enormous, rather hard, and not kid friendly. Service was fine. We were not offered dessert. Drinks were very good. The atmosphere was nice, however, not especially family friendly. Most diners were a bit older. Next time, we probably would not bring the grandchildren along. Overall, we were a little disappointed in our experience but may give Karl's another try someday.

I was surprised how busy this place was on a Wednesday night, would definitely recommend making…read morereservations! It has a clean, upscale aesthetic but not so much so that you wouldn't be able to bring kids. I found the prices to be reasonable for the high quality of food as well. My friend and I sat at the bar and they were swamped with orders from the rest of the restaurant (pretty big place) but we got our food in decent time. The bartender was kind and helpful. I started with a yellow light mocktail and it was perfect- light, tart and refreshing. It was also a reasonable price for a n/a drink, which is rare these days. I also ordered a French onion soup (with short rib)- it was unique and super hearty but still maintained the classic flavors. I would highly recommend both! We both ordered the miso salmon & were really happy with the portion sizes. The salmon had a nice sweet glaze on it and the veggies and rice were cooked well. We finished with the cinnamon cheesecake and it was huge. I liked it but almost wish it was smaller so that I wouldn't be tempted to overeat, haha! There were chunks of hardened cinnamon that were a fun little surprise.

We had a pretty solid dinner here. We were looking for a place in the area with simple food and TVs…read morewhere we could watch the Final Four basketball games on TV. This turned out to match just what we were looking for. We started with some fried pickles. These were yummy but not the best I've ever had. For our entrees, I got the Polish Platter and my husband got the GOATavern Nachos from the appetizer section. I'm a sucker for pierogis and these were pretty good. Everything else on the platter was solid. My husband's nachos were a really big portion, which we love to see, but we thought they were lacking in flavor. The locale is super neat, with a bunch of different areas to sit in, especially when the weather is nice. The staff was our favorite aspect of the restaurant, with everyone we interacted with being such a delight.

What has not changed is the comfy neighborhood bar feel and a nice place to have a great meal, some drinks and snacks. The front room was bright with lots of sun and the bar area is has stayed pretty much the same. Cosy bar vibes with regulars. Both areas, very inviting and appealing. I have always loved the fried mushrooms and they are fantastic here! The tavern burger remains a favorite along with crispy and tasty fries. The service, excellent! The food came out promptly and it was a great time with delicious food. For me, that is what 5 stars feel like. May not be gourmet, but it checked every box.

We went here for a weekday lunch, and the place wasn't busy at all. The waitress was friendly and…read moretold us to sit wherever we felt comfortable. What shocked me was the food quality. This place has 700+ reviews with a 4.5-star rating, so I honestly didn't think twice before going. I'm still wondering where we went wrong. Ordered: * Super Nachos ($20.63) - Barely any cheese or chicken. Mostly nachos covered with lettuce, jalapeños, and olives. It felt more like eating a dry salad. * Fresh Fried Shrooms ($14.90) - Completely soaked in oil. Slightly better than the nachos, but still disappointing. * Grilled Chicken Wrap ($16.04) with onion ring substitute (+$2.08) - Average at best and definitely not worth the price. We also asked if the grilled chicken wrap could be split into two, and she nicely served it on two separate plates with onion rings on the side, which I appreciated. The service itself was decent. Everything felt extremely overpriced for the quality served. Sadly, this ended up being one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I've had. After this visit, I'll definitely be checking reviews more carefully before trying a new place again.

Entrees of the Capital Grill Signature Cheeseburger and Cobb Salad with tenderloin slices were superbly cooked and beautifully served.
