Best Historic Restaurants in Ferndale

Booked a tea experience at Lily's & Elise to make up for a missed tea event on a Cruise in December. What we got was beyond our expectations in every way! The staff was wonderful (esp. Crystal), the food was spectacular in presentation, taste, and portion size, and the property was in tip top shape, including the rest rooms! My wife and I went for afternoon tea which some might think would be a few things to "nibble". It was essentially a lunch for two (with a raft of exotic teas) and a dessert tray to rivaled most of those I've seen in this vicinity. We'll be going back soon ... especially now that we've found out they have a robust menu including breakfast, brunch, tea, and "patisserie" ( read French pastries). Based on our conversation with Anna, the manager, the concept for the operation came from an establishment in NIce, France. We'll be in Nice this spring and we are sure it will bring back memories for us of Lily's & Elise on Livernois!

Thank you to our server Lauren! A fabulous birthday lunch with my friend!!

We celebrated a 40th birthday with dinner at PAO. The staff was super friendly and did a great job with celebrating the birthday girl even though The staff did seem spread thin at moments. The food was okay. The lamb chops was the best dish ordered. Would go back for dessert and drinks for a birthday but not for dinner.

Great food, service and ambiance! Only gave 4 stars for ambiance because the tables were very close together, made it hard to have a conversation due to noise and lack of privacy.

My reservation was perfect and we were seated at a beautiful booth behind the bar,
