Best Romantic Restaurants in Royal Oak

I had the best night ever. I went to dinner to celebrate my 42nd Birthday (11/24). Our service was amazing. The food was AMAZING 20 out of 10. The drinks were amazing. My favorite drink is the “Woodward”. 10 out of 10 I highly recommend. We also ordered the Smoked Old Fashion, La Vita Sangria and the Viola Lemonade. Every single drink taste good and was strong( Not to strong but will get you there). Whoever the bartender is, they did their big one. I ordered the Chicken Piccata. This food was so good. It was hot, fresh and it had amazing flavor. My friends and I did meet the own of the resturant. He was so sweet and so down to earth and amazing. He took all our pictures. He showed us where the best places were in the restaurant to take photos. He also gave us complimentary “Birthday Shots”. This is one of the best dining experiences I have had in a restaurant in the city in a very long time. I am already making plan to dine again soon. Also, the staff let us know that the holiday drink menu will be released soon. There are a few drinks I must try on that menu as well. . Please make sure you try this restaurant asap.

Marvin is an amazing server, he is personable, his timing is impeccable, and you can never go wrong with his recommendations. Our appetizers and entrees were flawless and I highly recommended the mushroom ravioli. The only suggestion we have for improvement is the cocktail list. The bartenders were both very friendly, they did a great job executing the cocktails on their list, but the cocktail list is vodka heavy and seems straight out of the late nineties early 2000s. The art of cocktails has involved past mules and 15 flavors of vodka “martinis” and their list would benefit from expanding or at least having the ingredients to cover classics from the IBA list.

Awesome experience. Great service, our waitress with long dark hair, (in a ponytail) was amazing! Floor manager/chef was friendly and came around to see how everything was! Food was delicious, ambiance was charming. I live in SF and come to Detroit 4x/year+ for family - and this restaurant is right on par with the great neighborhood restaurants in SF. My parents live in Shelby Twnshp - so a little bit of a haul to get there, but well worth the trip! Highly recommend!

We had an amazing time, was even able to be seated earlier than our reservation. Our server was spot on and made us feel valued and special. Took extra time and patience to take photos of us as well.

Service was too notch! Food was great and delicious :-)
