Doyles Irish Pub

"But when I see you darlin'It's like we both are fallin' in love againIt'll be just like startin' over"(John Lennon)Doyles has indeed started over, and they are experiencing growing pains.The pub inside the St. John's Resort was closed for a long time during and after COVID. It was remodeled, rebranded and very recently re-opened.One thing our group noticed was that food was being brought up the staircase on trays by their servers, so the kitchen is downstairs somewhere. That added to the very long delays we experienced during our group lunch in an otherwise empty Doyles.I had a Cluck of the Irish Chicken Sandwich served with chips that was very good. I went for grilled instead of fried and it was prepared well, juicy and tender and not dried out.I also had some of their Irish Nachos which were a big hit at my table.The interior is gorgeous, and the food was very good.I think they just need a) a little more experience and b) maybe a few more bodies to efficiently figure out the workflow.Give them a chance, because when they get into a better rhythm, Doyles has all the signs of being fabulous.

Great new spot located at Saint John's Resort. Officially opened for one week! Love that so many new places are opening in this beautiful boutique hotel. My husband and I stopped by for in for a late lunch. We were seated on the first floor near the window. Nice that we didn't need reservations. Great place to stop after golfing or if you want to lounge on their patio. Lots of games including corn hole and giant Jenga. Although the patio is not enclosure, Doyles is not dog friendly. Our waitress, Alexis, was great. She was attentive and nice. We ordered the patty melt with onion rings and the brisket burger with Brussel sprouts. The patty melt and onion rings were so good! My husband enjoyed his brisket burger too. The Brussel sprouts were undercooked. He wishes he would have gotten the house made chips. We saw another table and they looked great. For dessert, we ordered a chocolate malt milkshake. Great for sharing! Not too much of a malt taste, more of a chocolate shake. We will definitely be back!

Doyle's is a great place! Food is amazing. Staff is always ready and pleasant. Kudos to John and Kirstyn. I feel like family every time I'm here.

An experience so poor it has brought me out of my yelping hiatus. Big hype for us Northville/Plymouth peeps- the beautiful St. John's course and campus has reopened with an Irish Pub! Had reservations for brunch at 11am on Sunday. Sat on patio, there were 3 other tables sat outside and one inside. Didn't have a server come over until 11:20. At 11:45 we had not received our drinks, the other table who arrived before us was just receiving theirs when we searched for an employee or anyone to explain what the problem was, no one was to be found. Terrible service for a place that should be top notch. Hopefully they get it together. We left at 11:50 and went somewhere else.

The ambiance is nice and a cute attempt at an Irish feeling inside. Our reservation was for eight people at 5:45 p.m. on Thursday. First of all, the waitress brought the drinks out one by one, I'm not sure how they don't have a tray, but okay, fine, no big deal, just an observation. She commented that she is better behind the bar than serving and had GREAT difficulty getting our bills correct. I am most concerned, however, with the food. I am a pescatarian, and I get it. It sometimes makes life hard, but I decided to get lentil shepherd's pie, which is at the top of the menu and is one of their main recommended dishes. I received it in a hot pan with NO mashed potatoes, so I inquired. She had no idea and could not get an answer from the kitchen because the chef was out for the day...? (That's a bit concerning) She talked to the manager, and he said to bring it back to me and give me a side of mashed potatoes. I tried to make it work and ate what I could, but I only finished a little because eating any of it was most likely a mistake after the first bite. The dog food vibe was taking over, and I realized the mashed potatoes were most likely not something I should be eating. The menu says the dish is vegan; I am NOT vegan, but what if I had an allergy to dairy? Those potatoes were not nonbutter (which I am not supposed to have butter). I kept my remaining food for a few reasons. I wanted to make sure I didn't get sick; if I did, I would have it to be tested, and secondly, to show my family so they believed me how horrible this truly was. Thank goodness I made it without getting ill, so the leftovers will now be heading to the trash!After dinner and the chaotic scene of getting our bills correct, we went outside to get a drink. The music was a continual repeat of the Irish Jig, a bit annoying. Drinks, dinner, and one drink outside were, in total, a 3.5-hour experience I am not willing to ever do again. One item I failed to mention, which I am unclear on the legal sanitary issue for this, but the bus person (a very sweet boy who was only doing what he was told, I am sure) brought the dish tub TO THE TABLE, and collected our dishes, placing them in the tub directly on the table. I have never seen that before and have worked in the restaurant industry (country club, dive bar, and restaurant). Usually, the dishes are removed from the table and placed in the kitchen or into a tub on a rack (although still tacky) near the table. It just was gross! I will not be back.

Food, service are both poor. Building is nice. They're trying, but really not making any progress. Ugh.

The food was great and there were big portions. Our waitress was kind and friendly. There was an event upstairs and the service was still timely.The only complaint I really have is that when we arrived the hostess wasn't there so another staff member sat us. When the hostess returned she very rudely told us we aren't allowed to seat ourselves because "it's her job." It put an immediate bad taste in my mouth but the food and service made up for it.Also, try the cheese curds!

Doyle's Irish Pub, Had a great time with a group of family & friends , the staff was outstanding manager John kept checking in on us !! Fabulous Food & drinks!! Looking forward this summer for the patio!!

Doyles did an amazing job for my husband's 60th birthday! The staff, management went over and above to accommodate! The food and drinks were outstanding!
