New American Restaurants near Sylvan Lake, MI

“Perfect service and great food! Even the Bloody Mary he had was good. Had a breakfast sandwich on their house baked bread with a bowl of berries. Great choices on the menu. My ice tea was never empty nor was his coffee. Definitely will return despite being a bit far for us. Can't wait for weather to warm to sit on the patio!“

“My wife and I wanted to take our daughter who was graduating in 2021 just to celebrate, the three of us. Well due to covid-bs we didn't go. We went there tonight and had one of the best times out we've had in along time. Our server was Stephanie and she was spot on without being pushy or hovering. She had answers for all of our questions about the food and drinks, seeing as how both use some very different ingredients. We started with the White Whale Negroni, Pomegranate Bliss, and the Picante Pomelo and all of them were delicious. The beginner we went with was Fire Roasted Feta & Olives, yum. I didn't know feta could be so creamy, and olives are just a given as the mate. Dinner for my daughter was the Spanish Mackerel. I was proud of her for going out on a limb, because she has never had Mackerel. It was out of this world. My wife went with the Spinach Pappardelle. In house spinach pasta with a rich slightly sweet mushroom cream sauce. Very rich and she couldn't eat it all so we brought some home for a snack. I had the Jerk Seasoned Goat which was milder in flavor than i thought it would be. The share sides we had were the Duck Fat Fried Fingerlings and Creamed Spinach & Greens. All in all we can't wait to go back. If it wasn't already named I would call it The Top of Middlebelt. Great food and a lively atmosphere where you don't have to worry about being able to have a conversation, and dress I would say comfortable casual to nice night out.“

“Tallulah was a high-end dining experience set in a cramped New York restaurant complete with a celebrity sighting. Everything was delish made even better by the service. We had the Brussels Sprouts appetizer, the peanuts elevated this dish. Also, the mushroom ravioli, Amish chicken, and linguini with chicken was awesome. Side note, I ordered the parsnip soup. I have never had parsnips before. It was prepared well, creamy. I did not enjoy it. It was too new for me.Parking: Parking meter. It does take credit cards. $1.00 for 40 minutes.“

“Excellent atmosphere, drinks, food and services:)“

“The manager moe was amazing. He came and checked up on us the whole night and the food was amazing and so was the service. Our server was Mario and he really made our night. Our party only ate halal and the manager made sure that everything was halal. One of my favorite spots to eat.“

“awesome food..awesome service“

“Never disappoints. We love the food, staff and atmosphere. Crab cakes are wonderful, some of the best you'll have. Wife's fish was light, flakey and flavorful. My filet was cooked perfect and a great flavor. Just wish they offered online reservations.“

“My friends and I had a bad experience at a restaurant nearby and 220 ended up being right next to it so we decided to give it a try. They brought us in right away no matter how late and busy they were. Our server Jackson, was so nice and fun and made sure we had a good time!“

“Excellent food as always, competent help, fast service, no waiting and overall a good worthwhile experience!“

“Budget-friendly menu. Wish pita came on the side instead of the bottom of the platter but, other than that, we really enjoyed the food! Big portions - entree came with soup or salad, rice pilaf, and a dessert. The rice pudding must be popular because they were all out!“

“We are regulars at Stuffed Bun and can’t imagine not spending our Sunday morning with them. The food is always excellent and the staff make us feel like family. The food is delicious and portions are generous. A few of our favorites are the country omelette, breakfast burrito, cinnamon pancakes and chicken Greek salad. 5 stars ⭐️“

“ALEX! Omg he was the best server that i have ever had in my entire life. He was the most thorough server ever. He had the best recommendations on everything in the restaurant & where to venture out after since we were here for the weekend. He made our experience a 10/10. If you go here, request Alex, you cannot go wrong!!!“

“This is one of our go to places. This service is outstanding and the food never disappoints. Brunch is casual and easy going, no rushing. Eggs Benedict perfectly cooked, corn beef hash is very tasty. It can get a bit noisy in the bar/dining area but it's a fun crowd.“

“Had my son’s 11th birthday party here. The staff was amazing. Our waitress Jasmine did such a great job. Place was clean and food good. Kids had a blast.Ximena helped with the booking and was so quick with emails and answers. Will book here again!“

“Wonderful lunch spot. We shared a chicken Philly pita sandwich and fries. Daughter had a BBQ chicken wrap. All was delicious. We are full and ready to shop. Very kind staff and extremely quick service. Great sandwiches and crispy fries. ❤️“

“It's a diner....... with gourmet food! The food was delicious!The stoves are just beyond seating. While the chefs are preparing your food, they are engaging you, making sure you are fine. Once the waiter serves you, the chef's, both of them... continue interacting with you while you are enjoying your meal.I stopped because I was starving and I had an appointment in the area... I was too hungry to wait to get to more familiar territory. So....... glad I stopped!!!I will be back!“

“Just tried The Oakland Kitchen & Bar for the first time and it was honestly wonderful! My family always wants to go to the Chop House for steak and I just hate the dark/dingy atmosphere. This place was so cute and I loved all the plants! Our food was great, steak was cooked perfectly, and our server Cade was super attentive and friendly. Another plus- I’m gluten free and didn’t feel restricted at all by the menu. I would 100% come back.“

“The best breakfast and lunches around! Friendly staff and atmosphere. Fast and fresh food.“

“Really enjoyed. Food was beautiful and delicious. Our server Dawn was spectacular. Definitely an energetic scene on Saturday night Birmingham. Really exceptional service. Entire staff— valet, doorman, host, server, bussers, manager—were among the most professional, welcoming, and courteous anywhere. Impressive.“

“This is similar to a chipotle concept of ordering a pre-determined bowl or creating your own bowl. I really appreciated that when you first come in, there is a wall with the pictures of the different items you can pick for your bowl because I wasn't familiar with some of the items. I did a custom bowl half/half with the zartar steak and lamb. I asked for the kale salad and the blaze hummus. This bowl was magnificent. The flavors were great and it was good quantity of food. Everything tasted fresh and light. The hummus was perfect and the blaze sauce gave it the spice I needed. If I knew the blaze sauce would be that delicious, I'd of asked for more of it in my food. The bowls came with fresh warm bread (I saw them make it while I was waiting). I was obsessed with this bread. It was fluffy and warm and fantastic. It was a really nice size to come with the bowl. There were tables to sot down at if you wanted to dine in. I would 10/10 recommend this place.“

“Decided to stop in for a late dinner. Marissa was our server, at a bar high top. She was very sweet and attentive. I ordered the fish and chips, amazing. I highly recommend it. I wasn't a huge fan of the coleslaw, but the fries and fish were cooked perfectly.“

“The food was very delicious and in huge portions! I was very satisfied with the size, quality, and deliciousness of the food for the cost. It is a little pricey compared to other places in the area, but the quality and portions make it worth it.The only real issue we had was our server, who was new on the job. I'm not sure if they do not provide great training or what the issue was. She did not know how to ring in any of the happy hour specials. She was not very friendly, as well as very short and unpleasant. I understand being new, but when you don't know how to do something and just walk away mid taking an order with out explaining why you did it is terrible customer service. This happened multiple times through out the 4 people at our table ordering. I'm going to assume it was a training issue because she seemed clueless, but trying her best and almost frustrated with the situation she was in.“

“Exceptional service paired with an unparalleled seafood selection. The farm egg appetizer and the Branzino dinner dish stand out as culinary masterpieces – both are absolute must-tries. Highly recommended for a memorable dining experience. Due to its popularity, especially on weekends, securing a table can be challenging. Advance reservations are strongly advised to ensure you don’t miss out.“

“When I tell you this is the best food we have had!!! We have been supporting black owned businesses for the past two months every Friday and this place is the BEST we’ve had! I highly recommend her food the portions are just right and their prices are easy on your pockets ❤️ we will definitely be back! We had: Whiting fried fish Fried chicken Mashed potatoes and gravy Mac n cheese Yams Sweet corn Cornbread Lemonade Sweet potato pie Great job!!“

“We had a great experience for dinner with our friend for her birthday. Kelsey our server was outstanding!! I asked about the Reuben Pizza and she said it’s so good. Well she was right it was amazing, so please keep this as a regular pizza and not just a special for St.Patrick’s Day! If you like Reuben sandwich’s then you will love this pizza!“

“We celebrated a 60th wedding anniversary tonight and starting with Tyler taking a reservation was SO nice and helpful. Then to get there and our waitress Nichole was absolutely 10/10! She handled everything and was so attentive. The food was great but the service, was top notch! Thank you!“

“My friend and I went to brunch at the Fed. Our server Megan was the sweetest nicest server we’ve ever had. She was amazing. The ambience was absolutely beautiful. The live music was perfect. My friend had the shrimp and grits and I had the avocado toast. Unfortunately, our food wasn’t as good as everything else. But the Cinco de Mayo mimosas hit the spot. I will be back for brunch again to try something else. I hope I get in Megan section again.“

“Delicious!! I've tried the beef and chicken. Both were great.“

“A warm and inviting , well road side inn with a vibrant bar and rustic wood interior with warm lighting. The service was so friendly and attentive and the menu was stacked with Great Lake front favorites and coastal specialties! Broiled white fish plate was outstanding - also great side salads and starters. The guacamole and tortilla chips was homemade and truly delicious. Went great with our old fashions and full bar drink specialties!“

“Amazing experience. Our new place & it's super cozy❤❤❤“

“Pricey but delicious. Wait staff was great. Food was hot. Delicious stacked corned beef sandwich is what I enjoyed.“

“A rainy, gray, spring day just screams for comfort food. So I located the closest Coney Island because chili is most assuredly a comfort food.The server greeted me warmly as soon as I entered and got my menu and drink order immediately. With every interaction she had a legitimate smile on her face. Love dealing with people who enjoy their work.A couple of coneys ordered and some slaw to go with.Coleslaw was creamy, sweet, a little under seasoned, could've used some pepper or poppy seed. Quantity isn't great for $2 but decent.Coneys are good, hot, soft steamed buns.My only complaint: everything is served to go even down to the brown paper bag. And all the containers are plastic & styrofoam.Parking: Seems a lot of their business is carry-out so parking is no issue.Kid-friendliness: It's a diner, the munchkins will be fine.Wheelchair accessibility: Good amount of space but the parking lot is a bit rough.“

“So far really good“

“First the good. Loved the location. Nice vibe on the inside, and the bar area is nice to sit at. Salmon was very good.Food: The crab cakes were no bueno. If you can't see the crab, it's not a good crab cake. Very mushy. Salmon was good, as I mentioned above.Atmosphere: Nice vibe, but the place was incredibly loud. People there have no concept of inside voices. Some folks were absolutely shouting.I'll go back, probably without my date, but probably when it's slower.“

“We have found our place! It’s our go-to for happy hour and for a great dinner experience! We have never been disappointed!! The staff is friendly and very accommodating!!“

“Amazing dinner on a whim on our way home from Detroit. Everything (service, atmosphere, food, prices) was better than we could have hoped for. We will go out of our way to eat here again. Thanks for a great experience!“
