Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Fair Haven

If you're looking for a hidden gem in Royal Oak, Johnny’s Speakeasy is it! From the moment you walk in (after finding the entrance, which adds to the fun), you’re transported back in time. The vibe is cozy and intimate, with dim lighting, vintage decor, and a cool, laid-back atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re in on a secret. The cocktails? Phenomenal. The bartenders really know their craft, and every drink is made with precision and top-quality ingredients. I had an old fashioned that was probably the best I’ve ever had—smooth, balanced, and packed with flavor. If you’re not sure what to order, just tell them what you like, and they’ll whip up something amazing. The food was just as impressive. You can tell they put a lot of thought into the menu—everything was fresh, flavorful, and plated beautifully. Service was spot on—friendly, attentive, but never overbearing. They really make you feel welcome, and you can tell they love what they do. Overall, Johnny’s Speakeasy is a must-visit. Whether you’re looking for a unique date night spot or just want to grab some next-level drinks with friends, this place delivers. Just make sure to book a reservation ahead of time because it fills up fast. I’ll definitely be back!

Our experience, at Three Cats, was barely short of perfection. I particularly would point out the Mushroom Bisque and the Champagne Chicken, but everything on their menu was delicious. The ONLY criticism I had was the limited wine list offering. But the Sauvignon Blanc was as superb as the meal. The service was excellent, as well. A hostess even offered to take a Valentines photo for the couple seated next to us. All and all, a delightful experience!

The only issue was there wasn’t much room at the hibachi table. We were bunched up and basically up against a wall. Everything else was absolutely perfect

We had an absolutely great evening! The food was superb, and Gary did an awesome job. Everything we had to eat was well prepared and the pacing of the meal was just right. The ONLY thing I would recommend would be to dial the violin player down about 2 clicks in volume. His music was beautiful, but just was a bit too loud.

My husband and I came in a cold Saturday afternoon for a late lunch, one other person in the bar. Ordered soup of the day an overly thick clumpy cream of chipotle chicken. Very spicy I liked it husband did not. A great value tho as it was $3 when we ordered a burger. Burger really good house made chips excellent. Key lime pie ok.Service was good. Overall a nice experience - (saw and smelled! Some fantastic looking and smelling fajitas-would definitely try those next time. A good local place.
