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

What a gem for Downtown Farmington! The food is delicious- we had fish and chips which were cooked perfectly and was well seasoned. The braised short rib fell apart and was rich in flavor. Love the simple and inviting menu. Cocktail options were also delicious! Loved the decor and thoughtfulness put into each detail. Service was friendly and genuine. We can't wait to return! read more

Spruce + Ash - Fish and chips with an extra piece of fish and braised short rib - American Near Me - Farmington, Michigan

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

The service and food is great! Had the Lamb Chops and they were absolutely delicious, highly recommend. read more

This a great dining experience! The staff is very friendly and the ambiance is lovely. My cocktail was very good and my steak frites were made exactly as ordered. My friends and I enjoyed ourselves! read more

Very small, had to send the steak back, it smelled like it wasn't properly refrigerated and tasted very bad, no salt or pepper on tables, the spinach con queso was good, Caesar salad smelled and tasted like massive amounts of onion ? And I never got a refill read more

If you're looking to dine late, be sure to check on if the kitchen is open. We went on a Friday night at 10:30 and the kitchen was closed, although the bar is open until midnight. read more

I ordered the steak frites. My steak was amazing! Perfectly cooked! (I substituted carrots for the fries, but I tasted someone's else's fries and they were delicious.) The restaurant is on the smaller size, but we made a rez and were promptly seated. read more

The food was delicious, service was fantastic. I loved the modern yet comfortable decor. It was a small restaurant, but I actually loved that about it. read more

The food was so so good here! Was in from out of town and found this spot, it's very small inside with a cute ambiance. Food is excellent! The fries are great, and that blackened salmon salad was probably the best i've ever had! I will crave it now! Great drinks and service, next time i'm in town I will be back! read more

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

The chicken sandwich was amazing and fries were good. My wife had the pasta that was pretty good as well.

Very cozy restaurant with great food and friendly service. The summer menu is amazing especially the salmon. I highly recommend.

Stopped in for lunch, and really liked the "vibe" of this place. The short rib hash had good flavor, but the potato/beef ratio was a bit higher than ideal. The Nashville chicken sandwich was good, but was billed as "not too spicy", but in fact, it was very spicy. I don't mind spice, but please don't tell me that it's on the milder side, when it isn't. Service was great, and food came out quickly. We'll definitely return! read more

Service was timely and the food was amazing! We will definitely be back! My daughter was very happy with her birthday dinner. I highly recommend making reservations read more

We wanted to like this place. Nice ambience and great waitstaff. Reasonable prices. Weird menu. Prides itself in frying all things in beef tallow. I don't eat beef, so I had my eye on the chicken and fish dishes, but they were all fried in the beef tallow. No offer to pan fry something for me instead. (Beef tallow is 50% saturated fat, which can raise "bad" LDL cholesterol and increase the risk of heart disease). My dining partner had steak and eggs, which came with dry cubed potatoes (but no toast). Just two eggs on a plate with a piece of steak and some cubed tallow-fried potatoes- no sauce of any kind, not a garnish on the plate. It was a very dry meal, the yolks providing the only moisture. I had shrimp and grits. It seems like they tried to sauté some onions in the pan before adding the shrimp, but the onions were neither fully carmalized nor raw, they were just that weird in between bitter flavor that causes burps. The sauce had a lot of grease in it, which floated on top of the grits, the texture was just mushy goop. Again no garnish or side offering. Everything was absolutely mediocre and disappointing. (There were items on the menu I would have enjoyed more, but they all involved beef tallow. I understand that they only have one fryer, which might be something they want to rethink in the future, or they could offer a quick pan fry for the fish or chicken). read more

Spruce and Ash: A Hidden Gem in Farmington Spruce and Ash has quickly become our favorite spot in town--and for good reason. The food is consistently outstanding, with every dish reflecting thoughtful preparation and a menu that's clearly crafted with care. The Montecristo is a standout, perfectly balanced and indulgent, and the beef tallow fries are crispy, rich, and unforgettable. The staff is warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, which makes each visit feel like a special occasion. On our last visit, the chef even came out of the kitchen to ask my daughter if she wanted whipped cream with her French toast--a small gesture that spoke volumes about their hospitality and attention to detail. Though the space is cozy, it adds to the charm--just be sure to make a reservation, especially on weekends, as tables fill up fast. Whether you're celebrating something special or just craving a well-executed meal, Spruce and Ash delivers every time. It's the kind of place that makes you want to come back before you've even left. read more

I was curious about trying this place after craving some lamb chops. I ordered the French onion, soup and lamb chops, which were both very good.. there was no tables available so I sat at the bar. Service was good. Food came out quickly. I typically pay with cash, but this restaurant does not accept cash. Which was the surprise to me, but thankfully, I had my card on me. Overall it's a nice place, smaller in size but good quality food! Also love the fact that I was told they're seed oil free! read more

The ceiling is too high for the feel that it seems the owner is going for. The pasta dish was fine, but the cheese sauce was congealed. Not worth what we paid for the meal. read more

We started off with a party of 8 when making reservation. We then had 2 others to add, so called to increase. We all knew they may not be able to seat us a 1 long table, but to our amazement Sebastian took care of our needs. Food was amazing and drinks to die for. The atmosphere was perfect and just what we all needed. read more

First time diners here ! First impressions are very good. Meagan, our server, was very nice and attentive. The food was very good. The home made chocolate cheesecake is beyond delicious. And Treavor is a delightful host. Make a reservation, it's busy. read more

Bartender was a bit overwhelmed. Had some issues with food temps from how ordered. It's a cute small dinning room. They were very nice. Just need to work out some issues. read more

We went to spruce + ash for their soft opening this evening and we will definitely be back. The restaurant is small but the seating wasn't packed in and was very comfortable. We had a few cocktails before our meal and enjoyed the limoncello spritz and especially the El Sol. The El Sol tastes just like sunshine in a glass, I don't know how else to describe it. It is amazing! We got truffle fries with their homemade ranch which was delicious. The truffle flavor wasn't cloying or overdone. For entrees, we did the short rib and the fried chicken. The fried chicken was perfectly cooked and crisp and came with very delicious coleslaw and a small side of Mac and cheese. My only wish was for more Mac and cheese! The braised short rib was the real showstopper. It was a sizeable portion and the meat was tender, with properly rendered fat running through it. It melted in my mouth; the flavor was wonderful. The heirloom carrots were nicely cooked and the mash was flavorful and delicate. The gravy was a spot on addition to the dish. Honestly, we can't wait to go back and try the brunch. A great spot for a date night, or some appetizers and drinks at the bar. A good addition to the downtown area that fills a void. read more

Loved the atmosphere. I was just starting my FO soup and my entree arrived. Soup was good but a little salty. Lamb was good but chilled as I finished my soup. The potato's however were old or premade as they were dry and wrinkled- that was disappointing. I would go again read more

One of my top favorite restaurant to eat at. I love and hate how the menu changes over the seasons. I really miss some dishes when they change the menu, but it gives me an opportunity to try something new things. This place has the best Monte Cristo I have ever had. The tallow fries are superbly amazing with flavors that bring back memories of childhood fries. Their breakfast options are also super amazing. I like the French toast, the pancakes, steak and eggs. I have never had a bad dish here all super delicious. Weekends are the hardest time to get a reservation so plan your reservations early. The prices are quite good for what you end up getting in such a delicious high-quality food. Some of our top favorites are the , steak and fries, spare ribs, the fish and chips chicken tenders, burger, and salad which they make a wonderful dressing. The dessert sounds wonderful but we've always get way too full from our meals to accomplish a dessert. Staff is friendly, service is A+ , the chef is nice and talented. Ask them about their Monte Cristo! Monte Cristo ! read more

First time visit. Interior is cozy, well spaced layout. Outdoor seating was packed on Friday night. Wine list is brief. Cannot take unfinished bottle home with you, FYI. Food was better than average-fried chicken was very tasty, moist and crisp. Fries are shoestring my fave. Caesar salad was good, croutons were VG, heavy on the anchovies, dressing could use more garlic. But good sized. Had the queso dip, it was just okay. Servers are new so expect some hiccups. Probably 40% of plates out of the kitchen were burgers-that is next on my list to try. Deserves a spot in the Friday night rotation. Laid back and casual. Reservations a good idea especially Friday night. read more

Fantastic brunch! We had the chicken & waffle and the mushroom omelette and both were elevated meals. Loved the jalapeño and cornmeal in the waffle. The tallow fried fingerling potatoes were great. Portions were big enough and prices were reasonable for how well executed the food was. I was told the chef is from New Orleans and that tracks - it was not your run of the mill brunch! read more

Poor service. The black (light skin with curly hair) host was very rude. Empty restaurant but advised i could only sit at bar

Saturday Brunch was a delight at Spruce + Ash! Service was very attentive and food was delicious. Omelettes were perfectly fluffy and the Monte Cristo was a great combo of sweet and salty. Highly recommend for your next day or night out! read more

Ambiance is "cute & cozy." Service was average, granted I came at dinner time right before they reached full capacity on a Thursday night. Food looked GREAT. I got the fish n chips and it was not only a massive piece of fish but it came fresh out of the grease nice and hot as it should along with the fries. My date ordered the chicken tenders and said for being a "basic" dish, they were absolutely delicious. Everything presentation wise was on point and had a pretty large portion. My date and I were definitely looking around and observing nearby tables. Not a mediocre looking dish in sight. Can't wait to come back and try something else. read more

Nice to have a good restaurant finally in DT Farmington. Food was very good and cocktails were original. Service was great.

Spruce & Ash, Raising the Bar for Downtown Farmington Downtown Farmington has traditionally had few "exciting" dining options. Spruce & Ash has changed that! Typically for an enjoyable meal with friends while staying local, Plymouth or Downtown Northville was it. No more. First impression comes with the atmosphere, simple, but inviting and comfortable. And there is plenty of outdoor seating. Second, the menu is not overwhelming, but enough to cover a wide-array of dining preferences. Third, the food! Everything tasted amazing. There was 4 of us, so we were able to try many of the offerings. Deconstructed Potato Skins, the Cornbread Waffles with jalapeno peppers within the batter, the Fish and Chips, Lambchops, Carrot Cake and Peach Cobbler were all outstanding. As a side note, I would consider many of these dishes "comfort foods", but after dinner, I felt great. I get the impression most of the food is made from scratch down to the tarter sauce that comes with the Fish and Chips. Overall, I'm excited to have Spruce & Ash Downtown Farmington. read more

The food was very good for brunch. Very personable staff. Can't wait to return for dinner.
