Cafe ML

Our entire experience here was fantastic. The cocktails were great, the food was delicious and our service was above and beyond expectations! This would be a great first date spot or any date really!! The environment is so great. I was feeling indecisive between 2 drinks and our excellent waiter offered to surprise me with one of them and honestly I wish they all did that!! Jordan gave the best service I’ve had in years! All around just highly recommended!

The service was great, I felt like every host, waiter and staff member greeted me and thanked me on the way out. Unfortunately I was disappointed by the food and experience. The building sits in a lowly strip mall with not much character. The entrance is hidden and I had to ask someone how to get inside the restaurant. They do offer a social hour that is popular, Monday thru Friday from 2-6, it is for bar seating only. Disappointed by the size of the bar, there are only 5 or 6 high tops and then some bar stools, so finding a seat was challenging. The social hour food menu was a joke, only four options and two are soy based, so watch out for allergies. The menu really needs to be reworked with better options and more variety. I ordered the black bean soup which was good, it did have a bit of a kick to it but is very small. I also had the Korean chicken slider, that is singular. This was offensive to even serve. It was a little larger than a silver dollar and only comes with one slider. How embarrassing for them that they will even try to serve this. The chicken was overly crispy and not something I would recommend. The chick meal served with vegetables, peaches and farro was a good choice. The chicken was cook in juices and the peaches added a touch of sweetness.

I came in for an early dinner and couldn't have picked a better time! The atmosphere was warm, and inviting. The service was so personable and the food came out perfectly timed and was AMAZING! I had the small southwest salad (it was incredibly fresh and came with a light yet tasty dressing, for the main course I ordered the street noodles it hit the spot! I had to have it boxed to go because the portion was more than I could eat in one sitting, and they even boxed it for me! For dessert I had a peanut butter chocolate mousse pie. I can not say enough good things about Cafe ML.

You drink menu is wonderful. They have a great selection of wines. They are a little on the pricey side. The atmosphere was very nice. They are wheelchair accessible. They have a drink there spice up your life and man was it absolutely delightful. I wish I had got the brussel sprouts instead of using maple syrup or simple syrup like a lot of places do they use the agave. I might have to go back just to get brussel sprouts to go.

I’m confused as to how this restaurant has such high ratings. I’ve been here 2x and both times have been subpar. The food is just not good. I’ve gotten the Chinese Chicken salad and Pad Thai. The first time I went, the server really sold us on the Chinese chicken salad but both my friend and I got it and thought it was gross. The next time I ordered Pad Thai and it didn’t taste like pad Thai at all. It had strange lettuce/cabbage leaves in it. The menu is weird, it’s a totally random selection of food. The service is slow and then they want to rush you out. The hostesses do not communicate with the waitstaff. No one came to our table for a long time until I flagged someone down.

This is a very well appointed restaurant on the south side of maple east of Lahser, on the end of a strip mall conveniently located in Bloomfield Township. I had not been here since pre-pandemic days, an quite honestly did not care for the menu. Today, however was a different day and different menu. Much to my liking! I had the Singapore Street Noodles (thin rice noodles), nicely spiced with blackened shrimp. Let me tell you, out of this 🌎 world! The service was quick. If you are looking for not just good, but, epicurean great, this is definitely it!
