    This is such a friendly establishment. My grandma didn't have too much of an issue getting in with her walker and was able to park it right next to our table. However, I will say to be careful though bc there isn't a lot of places to put a walker and it is quite narrow. The food here was fresh and delicious, all for a low price, and my grandma and I left feeling full. We were constantly checked on by staff and they all apologized "for the wait". Everything came out so quick there was barely a wait at all, even with it being a little busy! My grandma had an issue with how the sausage links were cooked and they were nice enough to take care of her and remake them, which I really appreciate. I would definitely recommend here because they go above and beyond to make you feel special, and the food is a great bang for your buck!

    Party of 6 : We were greeted & seated immediately upon entering on a busy Sunday early afternoon. After that we waited about 15-20 minutes before our waitress visited our table. She took both our beverage & food order at the same time. Food began arriving at the table about 15 minutes later. You could see everything was made for us with fresh ingredients-- hot & delicious! Although the waitress was a bit difficult to understand as she spoke quietly with the noise in the restaurant, everything we ordered came out correctly! We would definitely visit again if we were in the neighborhood!

    Oatmeal (Protein Breakfast) and Side of Whip Cream and Powder Sugar (Strawberry Waffles)

    Realistically, I would give this a 3.5. My first time here with my mom and we were starving while trying to find a brunch place. The inside is very nice and spacious in which we were able to choose where we sat. Our server was very nice and helpful. I ordered the Protein breakfast which included 2 eggs, 4 pieces of turkey bacon, and oatmeal. My mom ordered the Bikini breakfast with egg whites, turkey bacon, and a side of fruit. Our waitress offered me brown sugar and milk for oatmeal which I appreciated because it made it taste better. We shared the strawberry waffles which wasn't warm so it didn't taste freshly made but it still tasted yummy. I'm not much of a turkey bacon person but it wasn't bad but my mom thought it was a little salty. Overall, a decent brunch place with many food options and the target consumers seemed to be more older people/families. That is to say the food presentation lacks aesthetic compared to other brunch places but not a complaint.

    Little Friday Brunch! Yes please!

    We frequently order carry out from the Garfield Cafe to our office for lunch and really enjoy the food. Today though, we needed to have a conversation outside of the office 's thin walls. Brunch is my favorite so when I heard they have mimosas I was definitely excited! The cafe is cute inside and clean. The service was great, and we enjoyed our brunch. Of note though. They do not accept American Express. It was a bit of a conundrum because my company card is American Express. No biggie I just used a personal card, but just an FYI before you go.

    We have been coming to this venue for decades; this used to be a health food restaurant called Friar Tucks, where it was conveniently located next to a Weight Watcher meeting place. With all the competition in the area who can blame the owner for flipping this place to have a new modern décor and added incentive of offering alcohol. The wine and cocktail prices are excellent choices with fair prices. The inside is inviting with an option to sit at either a table or a booth. The new paint and decorations are easy on the eye and offer a relaxing vibe. There are a lot of choices on the menu, much of the menu remains from it's previous offerings (before renovations). The soups are rock-star delicious. Mom had the Chicken Pot Pie which was dry but she did have a side of gravy to perk it up. I had Fish and chips; the fish was soggy and so/so, the fries were crispy and hot. The silverware was nice and sturdy...not as common as one might think so I appreciated it. The prices are a bit high but not unreasonable given the inflation we have all had to endure the past few years. Overall, a great meeting place, good food, very nice spirits offering and relaxing vibe.

    3.5 would be more accurate. We need to implore yelp to include half stars. This must be a fairly new spot. It's between 17 and 18 mile on Garfield road. No signage on the actual building yet that I could see. The place is very modern and looks updated and very clean. The food was just ok to me. I've been to enough breakfast spots now to be able to distinguish the difference between an ok to a great omelette. I ordered the Mediterranean, which comes with feta cheese, onions, spinach and tomatoes. And hash browns, of course. Nothing stood out to me though. There was no seasoning on anything inside. All those veggies were bland, unfortunately. The hash browns were nice and crispy and the pancakes/sausage that my daughter got were pretty good. So a 3.5 would've been appropriate. Still, always worth checking out to formulate your own opinion.

    Spinach & feta omelette with tomato slices
    Ashley L.

    We recently stopped at The Garfield Cafe for breakfast for the first time. It won't be our last! Service was friendly and quick. My omelette was perfect! I don't like heavy omelettes and this feta and spinach one was light and yummy! My husband enjoyed his breakfast as well. Portions were large and the restaurant was clean.

    California Omelette; tomato, onion, avocado, swiss cheese, ham and onion. I covered the hashbrowns w/ Ketchup! D'oh! Side of sad bacon.

    The chorizo tacos were so good, I am still thinking about them days later. My friends enjoyed their meal and the price was so reasonable.

Menu are both physical and virtual via QR code to access their website menu. There is definitely too much to talk about here so be sure to look at my pics as I've provided a quick summary in the captions. J Baldwin's famous calamari. After receiving the dish, I think I've had it before at J Baldwin's in Clinton Twp. The calamari is not your typical calamari and is sauced with his Beurre Blanc famed on the Food Network. While it's still breaded, the Beurre Blanc is enough to soften it completely while adding an explosion of flavor. The Beurre Blanc is made with olive oil, shallots, peppercorns, bay leaves, lemon juice, wine, and cream. Personally I think this dish was way too sauce heavy. There wasn't a single crispy bite. While flavorful, I was looking forward to a light and crispy texture, but didn't get it. I think this could have been accomplished with going lighter in the sauce, maybe just drizzling it on, and providing a serving of it on the side. 3,5 stars. Truffle Sausage Pizza. Tradition hand tossed dough that's not too thick and not too thin. Italian sausage, truffle oil, parsley, Gouda, Mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. The Italian sausage was not what I expected. Rather than slices or tiny meatballs, it was ground up. I kinda liked it to tell you the truth, but it wasn't evenly applied. It was more densely populated in the center, which left the perimeter sparse with toppings. While the truffle oil sounded good, it didn't work for me. Here's the thing you need to know about truffle oil, it's not made from truffles (mushrooms)! That's right, truffle oil is typically made from extract, which is why the flavor is so intense and a little goes a long way. Local Carbonara Bucatini. Made the traditional way with cuts of pork cheek (guanciale). The bucatini pasta was nicely done and not overcooked. The guanciale was also nice and crispy as it should be. It was lighter on the cheese than I would have liked and none was served on the side, but it was Pecorino Romano and it was shaved from a block. Did I ask for more on the side, of course I did! The black pepper wasn't also as prominent as it should have been, but the server did have some fresh ground at the ready when it was served. 4 stars. Overall, I would have to say that I'm still a fan of J. Baldwin's Testa Barra. The food is prepared fresh with quality ingredients, and the dishes are inspirationally classic, and sometimes with innovating or modern twist. I've consistently never been disappointed with every visit. If You would like to experience more, come dine-with-me.yelp.com I'd love to have your company... Bon Appétit!

Everything tasted super fresh and the menu leans more "snacky" in the best possible way -- perfect little plates that are clearly meant to pair with wine. We ordered a few things for the table and it felt like the kind of place where you just keep ordering one more thing because everything sounds good. Nothing heavy, just really well done bites that let the wine shine. Speaking of wine, the selection is awesome. It's not the usual predictable restaurant list. There are some really interesting bottles and styles on there, which makes it fun if you actually enjoy trying different wines instead of just defaulting to the same thing every time. Service was great too. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and welcoming, and you can tell the owners are really hands-on and working hard to make the place special. That always makes a difference. And the ambiance... chef's kiss. Moody lighting, cozy, stylish but not pretentious. Just good vibes all around. It's the kind of spot you want to linger at with friends and a second bottle of wine. Already planning my next visit :)

We definitely could have done without the fries but they were good and they have good ranch here as well. It was a pretty big bummer about the perch slider. I didn't realize until a bite or 2 into it and was like ...this does not taste or look like fish. When I got my bill, the fried chicken slider was on there so the waitress must've misheard me when ordering. Another weird thing that happened while we were here is a kid came in to the restaurant with a box of candy and came up to our table asking if we wanted to buy something. I think the servers, bartenders, whoever, should be more mindful of this and ask people who do this to leave. I don't really feel like being solicited when I am dining at a restaurant with a friend.
