I really wanted to love The Franklin, but unfortunately the experience missed the mark…read more We arrived at 4:00 p.m. on a Saturday and were the only party in the restaurant for quite some time. The waitress was abrasive from the start and immediately informed us that there was a time limit on our table. Looking back, that's actually pretty comical, considering the restaurant ended up taking far longer than their own stated limit to serve us. We were there celebrating our friend's baby sprinkle and hoped for a relaxed, enjoyable afternoon. Instead, the service was painfully slow. Drinks took an exceptionally long time to arrive, and the wait for our meals was even longer. The delays were so significant that one member of our group eventually had to leave before fully enjoying the gathering. Had the service been friendlier and more attentive, the long waits may have been easier to overlook. But between the abrasive welcome, the slow pace, and the overall lackluster experience, our celebration felt more frustrating than enjoyable. I hate leaving negative reviews, especially because I was genuinely excited to try The Franklin. Unfortunately, this visit did not live up to expectations, and it's not somewhere I'll be rushing back to.

Santé Wine Bar is a true gem! The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxing evening…read morewith friends or a date night. Their wine selection is thoughtfully curated, with something for every palate, and the staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and always happy to make recommendations. What makes Santé even more special is their commitment to the community. They are already supporting local nonprofits and helping organizations raise awareness and funds for important causes. They hinted that they may expand their offerings with events such as trivia nights and other activities, making Santé a fun and engaging gathering place for the community. I highly recommend Santé Wine Bar to anyone looking for excellent wine, delicious food, outstanding hospitality, and a business that truly cares about its community. I can't wait to visit again!

Santé is a cute, self-serve wine bar in downtown Farmington. I was heading to another night spot,…read morebut decided to give Santé a try first. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a very friendly employee who explained the process, discussed the wine selections, and set up the keycard used for the wines. There are eight kiosks with four wines each that include domestic and international wines with options for a taste, flight, or full glass. In addition to wine, they also offer cocktails and small plates. I tried the meat charcuterie and bread boards; the smoked duck was delicious! Overall, the experience was very enjoyable. I will definitely return when I am in the area again!

It's great in that you and your dear Uncle can stop for spirits and cigars or invite a party of twelve. We've done both. Both are not an issue. It's a wonderfully laid back lair. Light noise and plenty of space for kickin' it. Great atmosphere to catch up with pals with a stogie and a snort. Mine is Gentleman Jack. The staff is wonderful. Taking time to go over the menus and patiently awaiting a decision. Then they left us alone. Stopping by occasionally to point at the glass (refill?) and clean the ashtray. We've also met good folks in here and plan to stop back here or one of their other convenient locations. 08/25

I found this place online and finally got a chance to come in here today to check the place out…read more The positives: Small store with a great selection. I'm not the most educated wine person, but there seemed to be a little bit of everything here. Great location and easy to find. They also have wine tastings here as well, and if you check in, you get 50% off. Guy seemed knowledgeable and passionate about the business. I love that I'm dealing with someone who KNOWS what their selling, and can educate me during the process. I was offered a free sample of wine, which I passed on, but definitely a positive! The negatives: Prices are a bit steep, and even though I'm sure it's quality stuff. $50 a bottle is a bit much for me. Sometimes I want a $9.99 bottle because sometimes it's just a matter of picking up a bottle to take to a party or serve at my house with dinner. They have a cute bar, but the seating is limited. I wanted to sit down and drink after I walked around, but a birthday party walked in and the one chair was in the middle of the party. Not the Wine stores fault, but a bigger bar would have been good. I don't think they serve food. I don't require a full meal, but snacks with wine seems to help hold the stomach, and absorb the wine when doing a tasting. I didn't ask, but I'm pretty sure they don't serve food. I want more wine knick knacks! Hardly any merchandise for sale! Overall a great place. I would love to return for a tasting and learn about wine again.

A nice moderate size wine shop located on Telegraph Rd in Bloomfield township. This store…read moreemphasizes mostly red wines ranging from moderate cost value wines to expensive limited production highly rated boutique reds. Many of the wines in this store are from small little known vineyards where the owner has developed a relationship with the vitner over the years and has arranged small allotments to his store that you will not find anywhere else in the area. The owner is also extremely knowledgeable on the wine industry in general, the various vineyards, many of the wine makers and the grape sources for the wines he carries which is the main driver in all good/great wines. It was a real pleasure and education discussing his wines with him and what his store has to offer which includes weekly wine tastings on Saturdays, quarterly wine clubs and upscale gourmet dinners with wine pairings. Quite a lot going on this one store. If you're in this area and your interest is full bodied reds, than this is a business you should definitely visit and spend some time talking to the owner who is readily available.

We picked this restaurant for a celebration and were not disappointed…read more The service was top notch even for a fully booked Friday night. The food was excellent as we were promised. I reviewed the menu before arriving and was a little concerned about the prices but it was worth every dollar. The only thing I would do different is arrive early and appreciate the structure and atmosphere. Really cool place. Really cool vibe. The only advice I would offer is the chairs. Metal with no cushion, not the most comfortable, but I will let that slide.

Our server was so kind and helpful with my husband's odd allergy. They made sure he knew exactly what he was eating. Our soup and salad were very delicious, but very small portions. We both had the kids grilled cheese and then shared a browned butter chocolate chip cookie. The setting is cute and a little quirky. It's not very close to home, so I don't think I'll be back. I did enjoy my lunch and I really liked how it was very clear that the food was fresh and homemade.

We went to the Rind last night after talking about it for months following a visit to Mongers…read moreProvisions (the store that The Rind is inside of). It was a lovely experience and the food was for the most part very delicious. Service was friendly and good but a tad on the slow side (not our server's fault, they seemed pretty busy and I think she may have been the only waitress working, so she was absolutely juggling a ton). They were out of the "pretty potatoes" which was disappointing because they sounded super delicious. The restaurant is a little dark and when very busy can get a little loud. The three women at the table next to us were having a very loud conversation (of which I picked up every word) and I could barely hear my fiancé, which I didn't love, so the acoustics are a bit odd. That being said, the decor and vibe is very home-y and everyone that works there was very pleasant and lovely, from the hostess to the man that refilled our waters. We got the charcuterie plate (selected two cheeses and two meats; comes accompanied by fig jam, mustard, sardinian crackers, and cornichons), the caesar salad, the short rib, the arctic char, and the olive oil cake for dessert. All of the food was really exceptional and delicious except I found the short rib to be a tad dry. We each ordered a cocktail, I got a spritzer and my fiancé got a seasonal Pimm's cup-type cocktail that used house-made cranberry syrup. They can accommodate gluten free diets easily which is also a plus. Overall, we will absolutely be coming back!I want to try that Wagyu Pastrami Reuben!

The team does a great job curating and they are happy to talk through what they are pouring, which I really appreciate. Join the premium wine club and you will be blown away! If you like getting to know the staff, and feel like a regular, this place hits the mark. The wine dispensing machines are a blast. I want one for home, but that might be dangerous. You can try small 1.25 oz tastes or go straight to a full pour from a dozen or more different wines, so it is easy to experiment without overthinking it. Bring a charcuterie board, settle in, and you are all set. Simply Wine is a great neighborhood spot and we are lucky to have it in Northville.
