Food is always spot on with an appropriate size menu. Service is always outstanding, friendly and welcoming. Ambiance is swanky appropriate for first dates to impress read more

Service was solid, no complaints there. I ordered pasta, which in hindsight probably wasn't the right call for this type of place. My girlfriend had the pasta rosa and I went with the short rib pasta. The shrimp wasn't really "bang bang shrimp" like advertised, but it was decent enough. The French onion soup was actually a highlight -- the crunchy bread in it was a nice touch and gave it good texture. Where it fell short for me was the pasta. That might be partly on me for ordering it at a spot that isn't really an Italian restaurant, but still -- the sauce just wasn't good. The short rib itself was fine, but the sauce tasted like it came straight out of a can, which killed the dish. Overall, it feels like they're trying to position themselves as a higher-end restaurant based on pricing and location, but to pull that off, the food -- especially the ingredients and execution -- needs to be at a higher level. read more

We stopped by to get a seat for two after 5PM. They are fully booked with reservations until after 9PM. Must book ahead for a Saturday night dinner, even shortly after 5PM. 9PM is far too late for dinner. We will come by another time and with a table reservation ahead too. read more

Food was excellent! The restaurant gave us a table outside on a beautiful Friday night. The food matched the beauty of the evening; we could have sat there all night. read more

Service was phenomenal, food was delicious full of flavor. We sat outside, the weather was perfect. The beverages were delicious as well. Spanish coffee always on point. Apparently I did not get pics. read more

This place is definitely not worth the high prices. Very inattentive waitstaff/bartender. Never offered a refill on water, had to flag staff down multiple times despite the place not being particularly busy. Cocktail tasted like it was made with flat soda and the food left little to be desired, both in taste and presentation. We won't be back. read more

8 of us tried out this cute new place in Farmington Hills. Our waitress was very friendly, but I feel like she was very overwhelmed. We ordered most of the appetizers... would recommend all of them, except the shrimp. The waffles were good, but didn't have any type of cornbread taste. Salad and soups were great... French onion soup was amazing. Everyone enjoyed the main dinners, except the steak frites was dry. We had to ask for zip sauce, because it just needed something. Even with some of the food being a miss, I would have given this place 5 stars, but I had to take off a star because we received our salads/soups and dinners at exactly the same time. It was such a let down... you don't know if you should continue with your app so it doesn't get cold, but then your main meal is cold. You should never bring both out at the same time. To top it all off, there was plenty of room and no one else coming in. Also, they need a few more dessert options. We had to go down the street for dessert, as the two didn't sound appealing. The pictures are of the apps... everything else came out in such a rush, we couldn't get pictures. read more

On a very warm Saturday evening, I couldn't decide what to have for dinner. After checking Yelp and thinking 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! read more

Spruce + Ash is doing it right. You think it's just a strip mall restaurant? Think again. Elevated, cozy ambiance. Loved the wrap around bookcase of the vestibule. This is a place you want to linger. Service is fantastic. Our waitress was the only one on the floor (!!) yet was personable, hilarious, and just a wonderful human being. Food & drink are better than you'd expect. Shrimp: idk what's in the chili sauce, but it's the best version of that I've ever tasted. Would order again. They do need a GF option for the crostini, it's unfair to pay the same price and not get the same amount of food. Spritz was perfectly balanced, I was tempted to order a second. Instead, they had a mocktail with fresh herbs and ginger that was actually worth consuming, it was not lacking in flavor at all. Love their commitment to limiting seed oils. This is the perfect place to meet friends and dine well! Looking forward to my next trip here. read more

I met an old friend here for brunch and we had the most lovely time! The space is cute and cozy. It's not huge but there are a good amount of tables and a bunch of bar seating as well. My friend and I hadn't seen each other in almost a decade and we were gabbing away and catching up that we kept forgetting to look at our menus but our awesome waitress was more than friendly and accommodating to our lack of focus! Everything on the brunch menu sounded great and we had a hard time deciding but ultimately we both landed on the short rib hash, which was excellent. My only complaint was I would have liked a little more short rib since it was so good but It was more than enough food. Oh, BTW--it was a Sunday afternoon and it was busy but not packed so I didn't feel bad about keeping a table going for a bit longer. I did also make a reservation just in case but I'm not sure it was really needed. read more

The food here is amazing. Service seems to be sort of going downhill. We were told they were out of short rib, then as soon as we cashed out (which took forever btw) I heard someone tell a woman at the bar that "she got the last one". Pretty crappy. The staff were literally texting and socializing as we waited in a mostly empty restaurant to get our bill and boxes. I don't really mind people checking their phones I guess but having LOUD inappropriate conversations does not lend itself well to a restaurant charging these sort of prices. I remember the days when it was unacceptable to be texting and ignoring customers but hey- maybe I'm just an old lady now. read more

Only been open about six months now, but when it comes to appetizing and flavorful meals they hit the ground running! Order a table or sidle up to the bar and chat up the friendly bar staff. The fish and chips is a winner. Huge haddock filets are delicately battered and fried up moist and flaky. Add an extra filet for an up charge. And the fries!--they're shoestring skinny and fried in beef tallow. You can't stop eating them. It's the kind of place that makes you want to try a little of everything on their menu. Go with a group and sample each other's dishes. So glad we stopped in! read more

Such a charming brunch spot right in the heart of downtown Farmington! I love the outdoor patio seating just as much as I love the food. My first visit, I went for the spicy chicken sandwich; the second time, the French toast--both were amazing. I will, however, steer clear of the Paloma carafe next time... waaaaaayy too tart! Epresso, yes! read more

We had a wonderful evening celebrating our anniversary dinner at Spruce + Ash. Aside from sharing it with my favorite person, the highlights were the incredible service, cozy ambiance, and amazing food. Started with a refreshing Berry Smash (N/A) and we shared the Deconstructed Potato Skins that were filling, flavorful, and so unique. While we originally planned on the braised short ribs and lamb chops, we ended up ordering the Fish & Chips and Chicken Tenders. I know, you might wonder: Why order those at an upscale restaurant? Because they were that good! We finished the evening with a decadent slice of Carrot Cake...a special nod to our wedding, where carrot cake was also our choice. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, the entire team was welcoming and attentive. The owner was a delight to chat with, clearly passionate about what they do, and it shows in every detail. The only thing we could say that moves the pros and cons needle would be the level of noise. If they are busy the conversation noise increases and make it difficult to chat at your table. You are engaged in the table to the back even if you are seated near the front. There is outdoor seating available. If you're hesitant about the pricing, don't be it's worth every penny (Note: They do not accept cash for payment, only credit cards; however, cash can be left as a tip.). Beautifully presented, high-quality food is an experience, and Spruce + Ash delivers on all fronts. We're already planning to come back for brunch and can't wait to see what else they have to offer. If we could go weekly, we would! GOALS: to try everything Lastly, our server Kyla personality was the hidden gem. When you can say you are proud of the dishes they serve and you look forward to showing off new creations...you are an ideal addition to the team read more

Went here tonight for the first time. Decided to sit outside on the patio since it was such a nice night. Also much quieter than sitting inside. Really liked the drink menu, but the bar selection for other things like amaretto was a bit limited. The short rib was excellent. The fries cooked in beef fat were also top notch. My only complaints were that the server seemed very inexperienced and the steak I ordered was very well done even though I ordered it medium rare. Seems like they're still working out some bugs, but we'll definitely be back. read more

What a gem! Spruce + Ash is a hip little spot with big flavor. I came for the vibes and stayed for what might be the best fish and chips I've ever had--crispy, flaky, and huge. The fries? Perfection. The cocktails? Balanced and creative (I may or may not have had two). The service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, and the whole place just has this cool, laid-back energy. Can't wait to come back--this one's officially in the rotation. read more

I feel that my experience here was pretty good the atmosphere and the prices are a little pretentious, Dinner for 2 can run anywhere between depending if you have a glass of wine and desert , 60-80 bucks with tip. I've been 3-4 times. The wait staff is nice and amicable. read more

This cool and new restaurant has a classy yet welcoming vibe. Trevor couldn't have been more accommodating, he even got my deconstructed potato skins redone because I'm not a spice girl and the sauce on them has some heat. Everything was tasty and I will be coming back soon. read more

Set in a strip mall in Farmington, this is a small eatery. It is quite loud. We were a party of four. We ordered the waffle cornbread and shishito peppers on the happy hour menu. Loved the waffle cornbread. For our entrees we had the beef short ribs, Nashville hot chicken sandwich and pasta. All were hot and delicious. Service was okay, waters needed to be filled more often. If I were in the area, I would visit again. read more

We came for our anniversary dinner and had the first available reservation. They were pretty busy on a summer Friday night. We arrived and were seated promptly. We chose inside as the patio was in full sun (there are umbrellas but not all seats will be shaded). Our server was prompt and knowledgable. She helped recommend some drinks for us and informed us it was happy hour! All cocktails $10, and discounted appetizers. That was a nice surprise! The limoncello spritz was refreshing and light, the El Sol was a little spicy and delish! We started with the deconstructed potato skins and they were delicious. Seriously good, no notes. The potatoes were a fingerling style that were gently smashed and topped with cheese, green onion, bacon & chipotle cream sauce. That sauce was out of this world. Then we got our dinner. I had the short rib and it was perfect. Genuine feel good comfort food. The beef fell apart at the slightest touch, the mashed potatoes were perfectly seasoned, and that gravy! The gravy was well balanced and brought it all together. No notes. The Nashville hot sandwich was very good, but mis named. It is a very good fried chicken sandwich. There really wasn't anything Nashville Hot about it. The waitress told us it isn't too spicy, but we struggled to find any heat at all. It was salted well, but no heat. The breading was good, and the cole slaw on the sandwich brought an acidic balance to it. All in all good sandwich, but if you're looking for a spicy Nashville hot sandwich this isn't it. We really enjoyed the overall ambiance of the restaurant, the food was great, and the waitress was really good! We will definitely come back! read more

Tried Spruce & Ash for the first time tonight with my wife, and it was an absolute home run. We kicked things off with the deconstructed potato skins (creative and delicious) and their French onion soup which was world class. For mains, I went with the lamb chops...perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful...but the real surprise was the potatoes they came with... honestly some of the most unique smashed, Greek-ish potatoes I've ever had. My wife had the pasta rosa with shrimp...shrimp cooked to perfection, pasta was very tasty...everything was first rate. To top it off, our servers turned out to be the owners, and they were as warm and welcoming as the food was fantastic. Great people + great food = a great night. We'll definitely be back. read more

Their burger was fantastic and service was excellent! Super cute place, very small. Definitely coming back!

Small space but very cozy Server wasn't the most attentive which was unusual for such a small section/restaurant, you can see all 3 tables side by side. Also, no mention of specials, lamb chops, which we discovered by checking other tables near the bar. Would have def ordered if made aware. Ordered a few small plates, Potato's nachos were greasy, and covered in cheese with a dash of sour cream, nothing amazing. On a positive, the boom shrimp and haddock were great. read more
