Silver Spoon

Sitting on the deck by the creek was the perfect compliment for our meal. Service was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Dairy free options are available and they are happy to accommodate.For parking, we parked in the lot behind near the police station that is shared with the rear parking of recipes. It was easy accessible and plenty of spots available.

I think their 3.5 stars is perfect! We brought our mom here for her birthday and the interior is beautiful and so is the view! Very difficult to find the entrance once parked (in my opinion). They had live music and they preformed beautifully but the place is small and the music was constant and sooooooo loud it was difficult to communicate with the family at our table.Food was ok to average at best but the prices weren't bad. For five of us, two drinks, two apps, five entrees it was $310 which again, is not bad! Flavors on all dishes could have been way better. Dishes to stick to for entree were the gnocchi and the seafood pasta that's served in the tinfoil. Red snapper left much to be desired as did the lamb orecchiette pasta (sooooo hard and doughy unlike any other fresh pasta I've had) and the pasta trio (not on menu).The band plays happy birthday but our server brought out mom's cake and had the band play while we were washing up from dinner and in the restroom. We came back to her at the table with the cake. Very bizarre. Wouldn't be my first choice but not terrible overall!

Silver Spoon is by far my favorite fine dining Italian restaurant in the Metro Detroit area. My favorite entree is the pasta trio. I usually get a half order and it is delicious. There are nightly specials and I have never had a dish I didn't enjoy. There is an extensive wine list or you can bring your own wine for a $35 corkage charge. We've always had excellent service.The ambiance in the restaurant is great as well as the outdoor elevated patio. The patio has a view of a wooded area and relaxing stream.The real treat on this visit was the live music. It was the B Side with lead singer Cat Wiley. She has an excellent voice and the band plays a great variety of music. They started at 7 p.m. and played three sets. They perform once a month, usually on a Thursday. We are going again next month with a group of eight for a wonderful dining experience and fun entertainment.

Was invited to a Bday dinner here party of 10. Onto the good our waitress was great attentive, friendly and super knowledgeable about the menu, we ordered Carpaccio Di Polpo-marinated octopus with lemon, olive oil and herbs. It was very good small portions for sure. Spinach salad with grilled shrimp and a chefs special that night pasta with lobster. On the first try pasta was uneatable due to too much salt, no problem they redid it right away and it was great. Also they do have a prosciutto stand where they can slice it up for you portion style as an app it was very fresh and flavorful. They thing that I didn't like was the decor it felt rundown, definitely not a posh hip place to be or to be seen. This is where you would take your grandma for dinner.

Nice location on the north side of Rochester. The restaurant was clean and well staffed. The food was good with the pasta taking home the best options award. The other food choices were above average. Would be worth another visit.

I will give a 3 but the 3.6 rating on Yelp feels right. Haven't been here for a long time, ever since they moved, but I'd go to other places before I'd go back. The food: had a couple apps (caprese and polenta), but would rank polenta above. Caprese was okay but felt like they put a cheap balsamic dressing on it versus a high quality balsamic. Got the penne and sausage fresh pasta entree and was quite good and flavorful. Other entree was the gnocchi which was good but be prepared for a heavy entree.Drinks were fine - limoncello martini was not as good as another Italian restaurant in downtown Rochester (starting with a 'B'), but was okay.Service was fine but not standout.Ambiance: this is where all the stars fall off. The restaurant doesn't have that cozy feel like the old place did, and instead feels cheap and slightly tacky - not refined like I would expect here. The building area that this is in is a trash hole but that is building owners versus them necessarily. The people there were interesting to say the least. Might have been the night but if you are looking for cool, this isn't your place. The patio looked nice though especially during a nice summer evening right on the water.A couple small items that bothered me: 1) they kept wheeling carts out both to bring food (which I can understand depending on dish), but then they kept clearing using the carts as well. They brought our food on a cart which wasn't required. To have people's used plates be constantly passed by us on carts lacked class...this is supposed to be nice restaurant, have people clear plates by hand. 2) the menu was dirty (like oil dripped on it) and torn. This is one of first impressions people get at their table and I thought this was poor also.So bottom line - food was good overall, but there are equal restaurants in area. The ambience, people, and small refinements would cause me to not go back quickly.

I still stand by all my comments from my original review. Incredible food and ambiance. But I was so incredibly disappointed with my recent visit, waiting over 45 minutes to be seated...with a reservation! The two hostesses were working very hard and helping to clear/set tables and clearly communicate the situation to all parties waiting for a table from their reservation. No complaints about any employees. It was the situation. This used to be a special restaurant for me and my husband; since we haven't been here in about 9 years, we wanted to wait for our table. I have never experienced that long of a wait for a reservation anywhere. If the restaurant is that busy, they shouldn't be accepting reservations. Our reservation was made around 5pm, for two people at 8pm later that evening. We were seating around 8.50pm. Hopefully the restaurant will not "overbook" reservations going forward.

First of all the food was great! Service was great. The fuckin band man, wtf!?!? I went with friends for a monthly meet up for dinner. We pick new spots to hit each month. The second I walked in I immediately knew the next hour and half was going to miserable. We had a table half way across from the band, which was situated between the bar area and dining room. The entire time they played it was impossible to have a conversation without completely yelling. Our waiter did his best, but had to repeat himself constantly throughout the night. I don't have issues with live music that is appropriate for the atmosphere. If you are in a tight space and have a 5-6 piece band jamming at concert level at a very nice Italian restaurant- does that make any sense at all!?!? It was like we were trapped in Rob Thomas music video for Cialis! I'm not kidding. If I ever go back, I'll be sure to call a head and make sure there is no band that evening.

Four stars for a lovely evening. First of all...if you've never been there...good luck finding it. GPS will take you to a dead end behind a BP gas station. Keep looking...you'll find it eventually...but an actual sign out on Main would be helpful. They have 3 little silver spoons on a sign. Impossible to see if you're driving down Main. Anyway. Service was excellent!!! Nice wine list. Good cocktails. The calamari appetizer was delicious. But it didn't come with anything to dip it in. It was good, though. I had the Orecchiette pasta with lamb chucks. Very good...but for the price, I could have used a little more lamb. The sauce was delicious!!

Everything about this place is amazing, the food, ambience, and is paced slowly like a classic Italian meal!
