Best Seasonal Restaurants in Farmington Hills

It is always a good time when my husband and I eat at NARA. The ambience is amazing. The food and drinks are awesome. I would definitely recommend eating at NARA if you have not tried it before.

My college roommate form early 80's and I started reviewing restaurants in the Metro Detroit Area 4 years ago. We have hit 80% of all the top restaurants (over 120) and we both consider Café' Cortina in our top 2-3 restaurants. I am not sure that I would take children under 14 there, only because of the complexity of the menu/food, and it seems like most of the servers have strong accents that are not always easy to understand. With that said I love going there about every 4-5 weeks and trying something different each time. Last night I had lamb chops. They may have been the best I have ever had. I savored every bite. I have had lamb chops at many nice restaurants. There pasta's are all made in house and are always exciting to try a different one. Make sure you save room for desert, as their pastry chef makes some very unique and tasty treats. This is probably one of the least known restaurants in Metro Detroit, a hidden gem for sure.

I took my wife here for her birthday and we had a terrific meal. She enjoyed the Colorado lamb chops and I had a perfectly cooked 8 oz filet. Our server, Leslie, made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. Dessert was also delicious.

The server, Marty, was wonderful. She was quick with service and was friendly. The food was very good. We brought friends who had never been to Rusty Bucket and they were impressed. Since it was my recommendation to come to the restaurant, I am happy they enjoyed themselves and their meals.

Great food but the sauces are overdone and salty. The chef was fun but was a little much and not at all concerned about splashing everywhere.
