We chose Create to have a family party for our son that was graduating. The atmosphere is inviting. The menu is broad in taste and price and has something for everyone. We brought 22 people with us. Everyone loved their meals and appetizers. The cocktails were amazing. Our waitresses were great. The live music, an artist painting, the large screen showing art being drawn, and the ability to draw on your own was entertaining for all ages.
I hope word spreads about this lovely place! By the way, all the art on the walls is for sale. I will return to pick up a few pieces for my home! How cool is that?

This was my first time here, and I can’t wait to go back! This place had a great atmosphere, amazing food, and several great cocktail/ beer/ drink options. We walked in to see lots of paper cut-outs on the walls, along with beautiful pieces of artwork. Each table is lined with paper and has colored pencils for you to create your own masterpiece! Artwork that lines the walls is all for sale from local artists.

To top it off, our server was super kind and our food came out super fast. This may be my new favorite place in Niles!

Such a great atmosphere as soon as you walk through the door. Such a beautiful dining area find with amazing art from local artist that you can actually purchase.
Wait staff was great. Personable, fast and polite.
The food was amazing, I got the brisket Mac grilled cheese with the Mac and cheese with bacon and bbq sauce.
Can't wait to go again to try something new.

Husband and I went to this hidden gem for a date night and I have to say it was an amazing experience! The food was some of the best I've ever had. We started with the lobster ravioli and couldn't eat it fast enough. Husband had the shrimp and grits and I had the chicken lingui, both some of the best we've had. The pear and elderflower martini was delicious. Our waitress was never too far away and there when we needed her. It was so cool to have a live, local artist painting while we ate! Do not hesitate to try this place. We will definately be back next date night!

We celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary with Create and the service, food and atmosphere blew us away. Lisa was our server and she was not only kind and great at her job but she had great recommendations, was very knowledgeable about the menu and history of the restaurant and absolutely made our anniversary special. We loved getting to look at the art and even got to see an artist in action, very cool. Food was delicious, great portions, amazing sauces and beautiful plating. The entire experience made our anniversary special and we cannot wait to come back.

Great place, awesome vibe amazing decor. Actual sommeliers! Syeak was awesome. They get it with that extra fat lump so it has extra flavor! Pot stockers were great!

Great experience! The staff was super friendly, food was wonderful. Really nice place with tasty food. The kids meals are only $5 & it has enough food for an adult!

Yummm-E !! Food is Always Delicious! My Son absolutely loves that he can draw on the table. Service is always great. I tell anyone about it when I get the chance lol.

Great food and a good atmosphere. I would recommend making a reservation for bigger parties as they can fill up pretty quickly.

Awesome service, delicious food and very nice atmosphere. All the artwork is created by local artists and for sale.

Definitely a must for dining experience in Michigana.

Nice environment with good drinks and meals. Friendly staff. They're trying hard, please support this local business.

This is such a neat place. I love all the artists paintings on the walls. The cocktails are amazing!! The food is always a treat and different from other places. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. And, hey, they let you write on the tables! Who could ask for more??

Every time I’ve gone here I’ve had excellent customer service with employees who are friendly, kind, and attentive (and of course the food is amazing). I recently celebrated my birthday here and my waitress, Angel, was absolutely phenomenal! She made me feel very doted on and special as silly as that may seem. Angel was so good and her being there alone is enough to send me back! Highly recommend!

What an AMAZING restaurant! We are from Wisconsin and spent the night in Niles. Create was suggested to us for dinner. It did not disappoint! The food was outstanding and "Angel" was a terrific bartender and our waitress. We shared information with Angel as she is traveling to Wisconsin later this Spring. Do not hesitate to enjoy this restaurant in Niles, Michigan.

Came in, seated right as we walked in. Good vibe and music playing. Great menu options, and the food came out promptly. Steak was perfect, cooked perfect and one of the best I’ve had. Appetizers were served quickly and were delicious. Other family members got pasta and shrimp, they loved it. It was great and we will be back soon.

Update: The below review was from 8 months ago. We gave the restaurant another try and we had a great meal! Salmon and vegetables were cooked perfectly. Wait staff was so pleasant also. Very happy we tried them again and hope we continue to have more great dining experiences there.

Old review: Restaurant has nice decor and the live music Saturday night was pleasant. Food and drinks, however, were not good. We ordered cacciatore and tortellini - and both felt like they’d been heated up WAY too many times. Our food came out immediately (less than 5 minutes) and was extremely hot - obviously microwaved too long. Both pastas were so mushy it was hard to discern what type of pasta they were. Sauce on the tortellini was good - but cacciatore was very bland. Old fashioned was barely an ounce of fluid and maybe had a splash of bourbon? Could only taste the old fashioned mix and very little bourbon flavor was evident. Perhaps if they get a real chef and a real bartender this place would be good. Pasta is pretty easy to cook up fresh - serving old, mushy pasta is certainly not acceptable for any restaurant.
