Best American Restaurants in Ferndale

Sometimes great restaurants try to do too much to food, combining too many flavors or textures and forgetting the beauty of simplicity. While Roe is an excellent restaurant, I believe this is happening... First, we loved the salads at Roe - the combination of flavors and textures worked. I know we would have loved, loved, loved the focaccia if it were just focaccia: the addition of the serrano ham might have been okay, but having it sit in a "broth" of a sweet alfredo sauce made it too gloppy and unappetizing, without really adding anything to the beauty and flavor of the focaccia. Also, the Dungeness Crab mixture on a hashbrown was indistinguishable as crab, and rather than let the crab flavor (buttery and delicate) shine through, it was overwhelmed with the saucy mixture. The steamed clams and ricotta gnocchi were both excellent. Overall, the service and ambiance are great. We'll certainly go again and hope to see a few more menu items that enhance the flavor of the main ingredient rather than try to combine too many flavors into the dish.

Incredible burger and salad! Honestly the whole experience was perfect. The melon de bourgogne wine was also incredible.

Amazing. Cocktails Apple Gala so delicious! I am not a brandy person, but I decided to try it and boy. I’m glad I did. Steak hash surpassed expectations. The soup was amazing a Florentine with potato. Pork sliders also a big hit. Wonderful place for a friendly brunch or a date. Thanks!

Excellent and innovative meal! The service was low-key and that made for a very comfortable evening.

Stayed at the hotel and saw high marks on open table a decided to try.
