I love love love this place. The always-fresh food and drink menu keeps me excited to come back. Everything I have tried has been cooked perfectly and the flavors are all amazing. I crave the wolf burgers. Plates are a little pricey but are probably just right for the area. The staff is always pleasant and the atmosphere has been perfect no matter what occasion I have gone in there for! They have great Michigan beers, wine and premixed cocktails- which threw me off at first but I haven't tried one that isn't wonderful, yet! It is my first stop if I'm looking for a drink to go while I walk around

I had been living in Farmington for around two years but never found this amazing place. We luckily got a table with window view inside. We were amazed by their food for each of plates. The chef really did an awesome job on matching different materials and a good test at selecting food. Their stove is very powerful which allow them to serve dishes in a perfect condition that is not other kitchens can compete. Strongly recommended! And my partner even questioned me why I couldn’t find this earlier when I still lived here.

Loved our experience here. It’s somewhat unique in that it’s a slightly more casual shared plates/tapas restaurant. Relaxed only in atmosphere though, as they served innovative and delicious dishes throughout the evening. The variety of flavors was impressive!

The food and drinks are good, I wouldn't recommend the donuts. Service was great and food was prepared quickly. I would feel comfortable recommending it to others

Decent cocktail menu. Not overloaded with a bunch of options, and the options that have are very good. I had the Manhatten that was barrell aged and very happy with it.
Alright atmosphere but not very large so doesn't get loud. Great for groups up to 4 or 5.

Lucy and the Wolf provides small plates to diners that cover cuisine from a few different places. They have delicious charred options, cold plates, and a small but potent cocktail menu. They have something for everyone to enjoy, but if you're a picky eater, I would recommend checking out their menu beforehand as it's limited.
I ordered the Tomatoes in a Skillet (with an extra egg) after surveying the pictures on Yelp. They did not disappoint! The charred tomatoes bled together with the cheese and runny egg made the perfect topping for my toasts! I also had a bite of a friend's clams

The only place without a 2 hour wait. We didn't look at the menu until we start down so didn't realize it was tapas. Shrimp, beet salad and sliders were very good. The man working the hostess stand was great. Our server was ok, nothing great. Once we received our check, it took forever to get her to pick it up to process... good 15 minutes.

The staff was decently nice! The bartender seemed overwhelmed and definitely should not have had to serve our table. There were more than enough servers for one of them to take our table.
The food was... alright. Some of it was really tasty, like the potato dish. The charcuterie board was delicious as well, but very small and not worth $18. My main issue is pricing. Everything is ridiculously overpriced here for the portions you are getting. Tapas are small plates, I get it - but they are priced at the same rate I'd expect to pay for a full sized meal.
I ordered the veggie tacos and got ingredients

Was looking forward to this place based off their menu. Cute little patio area with an attentive waitress. Ended up with the Tomatoes in Skillet, Patatas Bravas, Charcuterie Board, and the Jalepeño Cheese Dip. Pretty disappointed with the spread :( The patatas and cheese dip were the better of the two and were enjoyed by us. But oof...that charcuterie was sad and was NOT worth $18...maybe $8-9 and Ive had an $18 cheese board before...Don't order the tomato dish--was so bummed out but was bland, under salted, and tasted like hot water. Drinks were a little on the weak side but enjoyable--just

They are doing paperless order for now. Here are their menus for now. They have a little shed thing outside on the street with outdoor seating. The seating area is heated but in early February 30 degree weather it still feels quite cold. I was in full ski gears and I still felt cold after a while. The food here are good but pricey.

Been here twice and was disappointed both times.
Weird unappealing menu.
Had the tacos last time. I guess this is how white people make tacos - with no spice?
Kinda pricey for the quality they present.

Lucy & The Wolf is a very cool small plates place right in the heart of Downtown Northville. Northville made an excellent decision to close off parts of Main and Center Street to increase outdoor dining capacity for restaurants. L&TW has been able to benefit from that. Their outdoor seating area is nice, and the atmosphere created due to the street closures has been amazing to the point where I think it should occur every summer at least on the weekends.

I visited back in late June, not long after restaurants started to open up for a first date with a very lovely lady. Restaurants

Night = made with a fantastic take-out order. Process couldn't have been easier with the updated menu online, phone delivery + pre-pay, and simple curbside delivery on-site. The charcuterie board was restaurant quality, donuts were delicious, and the to-go cocktails are absolutely perfect for patio (or deck, driveway, porch...) sipping this season! We will be back again soon!

Wanted outsise seating for 2 at about 6:30. Was told there would be a 25 minute wait but it was around 15.

Our waitress was timely with drinks and gave us good advice on what to order! For two people they usually suggest 4 or 5 tapas but we got 4 because the tomatoes in cast iron was a large dish. Along with that we got the gambas, patatas bravas and burgers. The dishes were pretty well staggered so we could finish one by the time the next one came out.

The patatas bravas were very good and my only comment would be more garlic aioli would have been better! The gambas were very good and I have

Everyone knows that I give fair and honest reviews. I loved the service and the friendly wait staff. Nothing else excited me or made me say "mmmm tasty." We ordered almost everything off of the menu (small plates) and everything was just bland. I feel bad saying that. The tacos and sliders had potential but just lacked flavor and appearance. Our drinks were boring and my martini had very boring olives in it. The canned beers were great but those don't count. With an expanded menu and a bit more flavor, this place would be awesome.

Lastly, the charcuterie plate (not a board for some

Overall, the food was alright. The sliders were the best thing, by far. The charcuterie, alright. The service, decent. Nobody was there. Water shouldn't be empty. The cocktails were not great and served in plastic cups. I hate even leaving this review because I very genuinely wanted to like this place. It's just not as nice as we thought it would be.

Had a reservation at 6pm for inside. Sat at a small table by the window and by the bar. Paper menus, masks are required except while seated. Staff all have masks on, except one of the cooks, one of the more critical people who should be wearing masks if you ask me. Downtown streets are closed for additional seating, social distancing is in place.

Our waitress was nice enough and informative and answered all of our questions.

Menu is limited, very much so, so few entrees that appealed to me, nothing from the pics online. No deviled eggs, no biscuits. We settled on the charcuterie with extra

Love the ambiance and the freaking name of the restaurant! Cuteness!

This was my first time exploring Northville and was not disappointed. I had a lunch meeting so opted to make a reservation on OpenTable just in case.

When I got there, there knew my name and sat me down in a nice booth. I love the decor. Super cute restaurant. Our server was awesome! I needed a cup of joe and he brewed up a fresh pot for my group. Our server was awesome!

I ordered the broccoli cheese soup and the shrimp po' boy. Nice options for a cold winter day. Love that the soup is made from scratch. Nice chunks

This review was missed in July when we went, but here goes:
We were seated at a 2-top half booth in a long bank of tables. Two more ladies were seated next to us and spoke so loudly we had issues hearing each other. Also, the menu ink was very light and the font/print is tiny, so bring readers. I used my phone to magnify.
They do not offer lemonades or flavored teas so know there is limited non-alcoholic beverages. For our meal we shared the perch. The warm potato salad on the side was very flavorful. The perch was cooked beautifully and the mustard seed gave it amazing flavor. Pricey small plates

I love a great dining experience. I love unique flavors. I'm a big fan of great table service. Lucy & The Wolf offers these three. Their downtown Northville location was easy to find and park for. I was seated at a cute little hightop in the window. I don't think we had drinks but the shareables we chose were delicious!

The menu changes often because it is a delightful farm-to-fork type and so I don't recall specifically what we ordered. (So sorry!) However I'll say this L&W chef has excellent skill in pairing flavors. For example we did have the Strawberry Basil pudding

Found a neat place in downtown Northviille. Cozy, friendly, great atmosphere to enjoy dinner or a drink for that matter. Or Both! For appetizers we ordered the Hooks aged cheddar and pub cheese served with poco sticks. This cheese had to much additive that took away from the taste. We enjoyed it but not to order it again.
However, the house special cooked in a cast iron pan Wall eye with pretzel crumbs was mouth watering and cooked to perfection. Served with roasted potato miniature spuds . We ordered a la carté vegetable of Patatas Bravas also cooked in a cast iron pan cooked with garlic and

Street parking available. Met a friend and made it in time for happy hour. Drinks $2.00 off, and 5 featured small plates for $5.00 each. All of them were really enjoyable and was a good opportunity to try out new dishes for $5.00 rather than the regular menu price. Loved the donuts, but the apple skillet was a surprise because they had a charcoal flavor added in deliberately. It tasted burnt, but it is intentional according to the waitress. Wish we knew that, we probably would have made a different selection. Overall a cute place and a good option to meet up with a friend or a quiet night

Creative dishes and drinks that were all really good. It's small, and reservations are a must.

We made a reservation early on a Friday night planning to enjoy their Happy Hour small plates only to discover that they don't have Happy Hour on Fridays. We still enjoyed ourselves immensely.

The decor is a downtown store front decorated in old, rustic, upscale fashion. We ordered two of their cocktails, mine was vodka and limoncello and I loved it. My wife had one with gin and hers was also very good. We got four small plates, one of which we added on after the initial order because we

I met a friend here for dinner and we had thought we would've need reservations based on strictly the fact that they state you can make reservations through open table on their website. We didn't tonight though it might have been because it is cinco de mayo or that it was a nice day and other restaurants have you the ability to eat outside. Our waitress varied in how attentive she was. Sometimes our water was full and stayed full and other times they were empty.

We split the potatoes Brava and it was good but not great. However, we were comparing it to the potatoes brava that we had

We had a lovely dining experience at Lucy & The Wolf! We had a reservation and were meeting friends, so we had a table immediately. The server came over to give us a brief description of the restaurant and their super old oven that dates back a long time!

This is a tapas-style restaurant with plenty of options for vegetarians and even some options for vegans (or things can be made vegan). Our server suggested 2 tapas/person and then sharing with the table, so that's pretty much what we did (we ended up with 8 dishes at our table).

We ordered:
Roasted curry cauliflower salad
