    Great atmosphere! So nice and relaxing by the golf course
    Leslie C.

    Hey what a nice spot to dine outdoors! I picked this off yelp and we had a great experience. It's located in the Farmington Hills Golf Club which is open to the public. It was not busy on a Sunday afternoon. We sat on the patio with a beautiful view. It's a little rainy and cool today so the large roof overhangs are perfect. They were out of a few options because we are obviously here during their off hours. I was very happy with my moussaka and saganaki. The kids burger was full sized. My husband had the blueberry bacon burger and fries and said both were excellent. I am sure we will be back. It definitely feels like a hidden gem

    Great food. New owners kept it the same great food and kitchen. Fresh food and vegetables, everything tastes good. Comfortable atmosphere. TVs all around the room to watch sports. Bar to sit at. Dine inside or out on patio overlooking golf course. Best after golf food around. Glad not many know about this place. Only negative is they are usually understaffed. And the older hostess can be a little crazed. But the food and drink and waitresses are the best. Get the lentil soup, the salmon dinner, the Greek salads, the quesadillas, the avocado turkey wrap. Yum.

    The food is good. Very nice view of the golf course. Very familiar to the previous restaurant Greek Island that resided there.

    Formerly Greek Island, The Pines has freshened up the dining room and made a few menu tweaks, otherwise it's pretty much the same.

    Ardiana's is one of those unassuming neighborhood gems tucked into a shopping center off 10 Mile…read moreand Meadowbrook in Novi. From the outside you might not expect much. Inside, it's really welcoming. Clean, comfortable tables and chairs, and it looks like they recently refreshed the place with updated walls, art, and lighting. Nothing fancy, just done right. We started by sharing a Greek salad and it was very fresh, with an excellent dressing. I ordered the chicken parmigiana and it was out of this world. I honestly do not know how the chef did it, but the chicken had this incredible crispiness and freshness, with a perfect crunch that still stayed juicy. The portion was extremely generous. The pasta was excellent and the sauce was exactly what you want with chicken parm. I could not even come close to finishing the whole plate. I heard a certain renowned Italian restaurant owner loves to come here for the parm! She says no one makes it quite like Ardiana's chef. The owner, Robert, brought out a carrot cake for us to try. He said it was all organic. It was fantastic. Moist, with a great caramel sauce and walnuts. At that point I was waving the white flag because it was just too much good food. Robert also mentioned they are opening a small bar soon, which will make this place even better for a casual dinner. If you are in Novi and you want a great Italian and Mediterranean spot that over-delivers, put Ardiana's on your list.

    We finally got a chance to check out A's and can't wait to go back. The interior of the restaurant…read morehas a sleek and minimalist vibe- perfect for a date night. On a Friday night, there were a few other patrons that dined in, so it wasn't loud. The service from start to finish was friendly and attentive. We ordered the brussel sprouts, parmesan fries, branzino, beef stroganoff and carrot cake. The bs- was delicious! It had a smokey taste that was perfect. The pf- was okay. The shape of the fry was curly, not like the typical curly fries, but thicker on one end, so a bit dry and bland. I wouldn't order this again. Although the aioli was good. The b- was delicious. I would definitely order this again. A tad bit oily, but that's to be expected. It also came with a side of roasted potatoes. The best part of the meal was definitely the bs- huge portion that just melted in your mouth! I had been seeing so many positive reviews for the cc, I was so excited to try it out. It was okay...a bit dense for me. It seemed like it was served right out of the fridge. Overall, pretty solid dinner. I'd definitely go back to try more items, including breakfast.

We were sat quickly and the brought out the highchair at the same time. We started with the crab cakes and French onion soup! The soup was perfectly prepared and very delicious 8.9/10. The crab cakes on the other hand were boring had little flavor very disappointed 4.0/10. Then we had the wagyu burger with fries and a side of baked Mac and cheese. The burger was excellent I would recommend to anyone 8.7/10. The Mac was delicious as well 7.5/10. We did bread service as well for my Son, it came with a pesto butter light and fluffy ($9) seemed a bit excessive to charge that much for bread. Decor was very interesting, they had trees growing out of their center booths I loved it! 4/5 fells very fair taking into account food quality, value, decor and service. We will be back, next time to try desserts!

    Disappointing on every front…read more I ordered the steak frites, as did two others at my table. All three were requested medium. What arrived told a different story: the doneness varied significantly across the plates, suggesting a kitchen with inconsistent execution and little quality control before food leaves the pass. Beyond the temperature issues, the steaks were under-seasoned and presented with little care... not what you expect at this price point or for this type of occasion. The service compounded the frustration. Our group was large, and it was clear the staff were not adequately prepared or staffed to handle that. Mistakes accumulated throughout the evening... mis placed orders, missed requests, a general lack of coordination had our plates dancing all night. What was most disheartening was the manager's response or lack thereof. When the issues were raised, there was no meaningful acknowledgment, no accountability, and no effort to make things right. For a restaurant that presumably caters to celebratory dining, that kind of dismissal leaves a lasting impression. **Bottom line:** If you're planning a special occasion, I'd strongly encourage you to look elsewhere. Vive Bloomfield did not rise to the moment, and a night that deserved better was diminished by an experience that fell short at nearly every level.
