Sylvan Table - Sylvan Lake (MI)

5 /5 John Delacruz: Wonderful farm-to-table experience here in Michigan! Staff made sure to make us feel welcomed and were very knowledgeable with their recommendations and wine pairings. Their cocktails are well-crafted! if you have the chance and are open to it, should order "Dealers Choice" and let the bartender whip you up whatever they have in mind. The food was delicious and you can tell the attention to detail of the use of fresh ingredients is top of mind. Their bread service is great and served warm. Loved their steak and pasta dishes as well. Their servings are appropriate and will keep you satisfied, but dont expect to be walking out stuffed beyond belief! Dessert was mouth watering, and although not ont he menu, coffee/espresso are available! Id definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in an elevated, rustic dining experience. Cant wait to try them again throughout the year, as their menu rotated based on seasonality!

5 /5 Tatyana Clark: This was such a treat! I am so glad that one of my friends recommended this place. We ordered just about every dish from the starters menu and every single thing was absolutely delicious. The flavors, the herbs, the freshness of all of the ingredients was superb. A few of us ordered trout and it was absolutely amazing. My friend had rabbit and pork sausage and also enjoyed it. The bread was fantastic and so were the desserts. If I am every in MI again, I would visit this place on a heart beat. Amazing!!! So good!

5 /5 Nic P: Superb farm to table restaurant with a cozy relaxed atmosphere. The food was fantastic and you could see the care the team put into every dish served. Service was friendly and attentive. We had a wonderful meal. Loved the pumpkin dessert, short ribs, and charcuterie platter. Definitely make a reservation. Willing to acco.modate allergens too, which is wonderful.

3 /5 Drew Patel: Sylvan Table at Sylvan Lake is undeniably a beautiful property with one of the best atmospheres I’ve experienced. The outdoor patio is spacious and inviting, offering a great spot to relax and enjoy the view. The barn and main building have a wonderful rustic charm that really sets the tone. Service was friendly and attentive though we did wait over half an hour for our drinks, the manager graciously comped them, which was appreciated. The menu offers a nice variety of shareables and a few standout entrées. The farm-to-table freshness is evident in every dish, but unfortunately, flavor was inconsistent—especially for vegetarian options. The vegetarian pasta, for example, featured lemon and capers but lacked depth and balance, leaving much to be desired. Several veggie shareables leaned heavily on citrus notes, which became repetitive. On the other hand, the meat dishes in our group were a hit, with perfectly cooked and well-seasoned proteins that clearly impressed the meat eaters. We were celebrating a birthday, and the staff did a great job making it feel special. The bread, served with garlic butter, ended up being the highlight of my meal: simple but delicious. The drinks, once they arrived, were fantastic, and there’s plenty of parking on-site, which is a plus. Overall, while Sylvan Table delivers an exceptional setting and warm service, the food especially for vegetarians didn’t quite live up to the high expectations set by its ambiance, pricing, and reviews. Still, it’s worth visiting for the atmosphere and a well-crafted cocktail.

5 /5 Nika Hamed: My partner and I went here for his birthday dinner and had a wonderful experience. Our server was so kind and informative, even giving us a brief history lesson of the barn and the owners motive (zero waste and farm to table). We had the Bee Sting flatbread to start and it was amazing! For dinner, my partner had the rainbow trout and I had the chicken on the brick which were both delicious. We shared the mash potatoes which were good, just a unique flavor with the smoked hay taste. For dessert, we got the Peach and Cherry pie - both delicious! Overall, we would be back to try some of the other menu items as our server told us they change frequently. Such a beautiful location as well.
