Garage Grill & Fuel Bar

Dinner was great! I ordered the perch - lightly breaded with a yummy lemon caper butter sauce that I mopped up as much as possible with my perch and mashed potatoes. Also loved the crispy potato strings on top. Great texture and flavor. Very tasty.

We ordered the mini cream puffs to split for dessert ... 3 mini cream puffs split and filled with a mini scoop of ice cream and covered with Sanders hot fudge. We all agreed that that was a miss. The ice cream and fudge were delicious, but the cream puffs had a strange texture. Not light and airy, but dense and mealy.

I really enjoyed my dinner here. I was thrilled that we only had to wait 20 mins for a table. Loved the converted garage space. Saw lots of yummy things pass our table that others had ordered. I hope to be back soon!

Garage occupies a space in downtown Northville that was formerly a garage and then later on a flower shop.  The restaurant is spacious with a bar upon entry, tables able to accommodate small and large groups down a short flight of stairs, and tables dotting the patio.  Today, the severe storms and hail during lunch kept all of us indoors.  Note that there is limited parking at the restaurant so you may need to consider one of the downtown's free public parking areas.

This was my second visit to Garage and I ordered the Garage burger ($12).  It came with delicious sweet potato fries.  The burger, on a brioche bun, included the requisite cheese, tomato and lettuce but was amped up with sautéed mushrooms and caramelized onions.  The burger was fine - just not amazing.  Service was prompt but relaxed and the staff was friendly and responsive; we were in and out within an hour, which is a requirement for lunch.

Finally made it back here and was happy to see they've made some significant upgrades on the food side of things.  Was able to take advantage of the time of year, and score a nice seat on the patio with views to match.  Split the shrimp cobb salad to start which was about as tasty as a cobb salad can be.  Followed that up with the chicken panzanella.  Pretty gosh darn tasty.  Still have Two Hearted on tap which is still a huge plus.  In walking through, looked like the pizzas have also been refined to taste, you know, good.  

This seems to be the case of a new place needing some time to get its feet under it and it appears they have.  Still packed as always.  3.5 stars if I could.
