Popovers to start were a fun and delicious treat! Three of us had the Maurice salad which was good, unique, a true local favorite. The fourth had a burger which looked good. Waitress was great, kept the soda refills coming. Nice decor and beautiful grounds. We toured the grounds and Edsel and Eleanor House while we were there which were spectacular!

Made reservations online for lunch around 11am. Greeted warmly; offered to be sat outside or inside. We opted outside with beautiful weather and overlooking the lake. However, we were assaulted with the awful noise pollution of screaming kids a few tables over. I can tolerate kids being unruly for a minute, but not having a parent attend to them, is too much. What if I started screaming? Right. Not all guests in the restaurant would like it.We had Pot Pie, Calamari, and House Salad. Pictures tell more. Pot Pie was quite disappointing; lacked chicken and loaded with potatoes. Everything else was lovely. It was a bit pricey, but you are paying for ambiance, including screaming kids.Later we walked around the outside, and enjoyed the flora, lake, and history. I am curious if I would return for lunch, but perhaps for dinner. Overall, it was OK.

While the service and the surrounding are their normal 5 stars along with their onion soup which ranks up in my top 3, I didn't get my normal Monte Cristo sandwich and tried the grilled chicken sandwich that I had others order over the years I have been coming back. I was told that they did redo some of the items a while back by others who had dined there. The server did say it was very different than other grilled cheese and I should have taken that as a warning. It WAS the Worst grilled cheese sandwich I ever had. After 2 bites, I sent it back. I kept the sweet potato fries. It was taken off my bill. It must have been the fennel stuff in it. That is one of the problems I have heard and experienced here, being trendy just for trendy. Maybe will the 20 and 30 something crowd works, but the older folks that tend to eat here and go to the house, we have been around long enough to have lots of places to compare the food with. We like good food with a history of being good. I will be back, but I will stick to the my regular items.

This place is a great option if you're in the Grosse Pointe area. Service was fast and our server was polite. Food was hot and tasty. They sell alcoholic beverages as well. Raspberry mimosa was phenomenal. Clean & chic atmosphere.

Was very disappointed w my meal this weekend. We asked the waitress if burgers could be cooked any way other than well done, she said they could, so we proceed w our orders: mine medium-rare, his medium. Both burgers were cooked well-done, mine so much so that the meat was actually tough. I had swapped out the kettle fries for the zucchini fries, which wound up being disgusting. The zucchini is as under cooked, the breading tough and burned. If you want an amazing deep fried zucchini, I highly recommend Maggiano's! Cup of tea was $5, and I was never offered additional water. For that price I want to drink the tea until my water is barely brown. If you visit the Edsel Ford House, eat before or after your visit.

I think its great. We really love the ambience of the architecture and the beautiful grounds, taking in the view overlooking the lagoon with dinner is a wonderful way to spend an evening with a drink. The turnovers are fantastic, as is the french onion soup. They make a fantastic Paloma cocktail and I really enjoy the Shrimp and Lobster pasta.

We had such a nice brunch! We started with cocktails, which arrived exactly as ordered. Our server, Max, held our food order back a bit so that we could enjoy our cocktails without rushing. The food was delicious! We requested a couple of tweaks on an omelette, and were pleased to see that Max wrote everything down. Our entrees were served exactly as ordered. Max even went the extra mile with an off-menu request. Uncluttered, tasteful, relaxing atmosphere, along with excellent food and a phenomenal server. We had an outstanding experience and we'll definitely be back with friends!

Very disappointed. Was so looking forward to a great dining experience with my two grandchildren. Made reservations......had to take dinner at 4:45 because they were booked. When we arrived, there were 3 tables filled. We sat on the patio. No reservations required.....so we could have eaten dinner later than 4:45.$200 later....$30 duck was the size of a chicken thigh.....$45 filet was average.Best part of the meal were the appetizer brussel sprouts.Would not go there again or recommend to anyone.Spend your money at Flemings, much better quality for the price.We ended up ordering pizza around 9:00.... They were still hungry!
