| Five Lakes Grill, celebrating the fine American cuisine of the Great Lakes region, is one of few restaurants able to achieve legendary status in fewer than 10 years. |
 For more than a decade , Five Lakes Grill has ranked as one of the nation's most respected restaurants, with its award-winning cuisine drawing food enthusiasts not only from the metro Detroit area but
from throughout the state and
across the country.
The man behind this legend is
Brian Polcyn, one of the country's most highly-regarded chefs and culinary educators. Polcyn created and managed three of metro Detroit's landmark restaurants, Pike Street Restaurant (1987), Chimayo (1990) and Acadia (1993), before joining Schoolcraft College's Culinary School faculty. |
| Recognizing that great chefs should do what they are trained to do - be in the kitchen, Polcyn sold his interest in the three restaurants and sought the ideal setting to create the perfect restaurant, one that, in his own words, "makes great food approachable for everyone." |
He found what he sought in the picturesque village of Milford, Michigan, within a scenic,
half-hour drive of most metro Detroit locations. |
| Chef Brian creates an extraordinary experience by combining the innovative culinary talents of his well-trained staff with a menu based on the freshest ingredients, including the best locally grown and produced foods. |
| Regular diners are delighted to find many of their favorite dishes each time they return, but then they have to decide between those favorites and enticing daily specials based on the changing seasons.

500 selections from around the world. You can tour our wine collection by clicking on our
