All good things must come to an end. This used to be the premiere restaurant in the Novi-Northville area, for years. The food was elegant, the service was alway superior, and you always felt like it was a good value. In the past year or so, old standards such as Meatloaf with Garlic Mashed Potatos, Seared Tuna with Wasabi, Smoked Roasted Chicken with Brie, have fallen off the menu, replaced by things such as ""Chicken Scallopini Oscar Bernaise."" Who needs that many flavors? Calling Gordon Ramsay! Their new way of cooking salmon includes some kind of weird smoking process that makes it all taste really smelly and fishy. Their new cost-cutting/budget crisis is apparent in their chintzy portions (3 shrimp on the lunch salad, tiny pieces of fish, small portions of sides). They must be circling the drain. Service is still exceptional, young healthy staff is smart, smartly dressed and professional, handles complaints well, and without any eyerolling. Desserts look wonderful, are starting to have that cheap synthetic taste of the declining restaurant. Better off spending your money on a burger at Red Robin, where the portions match the price and the combinations aren't pretentious or weird.
Pros: Service.
Cons: Very small portions, high prices, strange combinations of flavors.
