The table is set

Arguably one of Oakland County’s most unique restaurant additions this summer is Sylvan Table, located at 1819 Inverness Street, Sylvan Lake. Tucked just off Orchard Lake Road, the restaurant sits on five acres with three acres dedicated to farming 100 different crop varieties that will be incorporated into their seasonal food and drink menus. The menu features rustic, artisan and vegetable-forward food along with high quality meats, freshly made pastas and sustainable seafoods. The modern cozy dining experience is achieved in a 300-year-old barn which owners Tim and Nicole Ryan acquired from Maine. The interior of the barn showcases two dining levels, an eight-foot wood-fired grill, wood-fired pizza oven, two fireplaces and a glass roof solarium. Executive Chef Christopher Gadulka said that the opportunity to lead the team at Sylvan Table is a dream come true. “There is not another place like this in Michigan. The combination of an amazing kitchen buildout with the fresh produce and other farm goods at my disposal will allow me the opportunity to create amazing food,” he said.
