“10/10 Experience! The service was exceptional from start to finish. Kenny was incredibly attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. The general manager, Andrew, was welcoming and offered a fantastic wine recommendation for my friend. The food was absolutely phenomenal. I had the butternut squash ravioli, and my friend had the balsamic tenderloin—both dishes were flavorful and beautifully prepared. We finished with the pistachio cake, which was divine. Compliments to the management, staff, and chef for an unforgettable evening. We’ll definitely be back!”
Bar & Grill • $$
“Good place to eat and get a beer. Anthony was our server and did a good job. My artichoke dip came out without the dip but Anthony quickly fixed it. And it was really good. The girl at the door seating everyone seemed really odd. I told her we needed two seats. She grabbed the menues and silverware. We followed her to our table. She put the items on the table and left without saying a single word to us. I usually expect them to say follow me or tell me who will be our server. She didn’t say a word. Seemed mad. But it is a beer and burger place. Maybe I expect too much of people.”
Mexican • $
“If you like lots of beans, this is the place for you! My wife and I went there recently for dinner, I had Beef Nachos and my wife had a quesadilla. I swear they were both 75% beans! The other ingredients were fresh and tasty, there was very little meat. The service was decent but we won’t be going back.”

“Had the chopped brisket sandwich. Had already had the Ruben from their neighbor. Brisket was amazing. Soooooooooo tasty …..from the meat, the seasonings, the sauce….ugh. I’d eat it 3 times a day if I didn’t live in Illinois. And the woman at the counter was great. I’d give them a 10/5!”
Bakery • $
“I am a huge fan of pastries that are not overwhelmingly sweet. This was our first time having Korean pastries. I am in love. They are not too sweet, and the bread is fresh. They are perfect for children as well. We had custard bread (rich), curry croquette bread (perfect breakfast), sweet potato cream bread (savory), and cream bread (WOW)! Even though we're only here for a few days, we will have as many of these as possible before returning home.”
Barbecue • $
“Being the job that I have and traveling as much as I do around Brighton and surrounding cities I try to try a new place for lunch as often as I can. Today I'm down in the westside of Ann Arbor and this new restaurant Ricewood BBQ, OH MY GOD!!! On the recommendation of the lady behind the counter I got the Brisket bowl with sesame cucumbers, pickled onions and the spice was medium. A "real", in my opinion BBQ place, you even smell the smoke from the wood smoker walking up. I went to the one on North Maple and by far the best lunch I've had all summer!!!”
Mediterranean • $
“Fresh and flavorful food served by cheerful staff, with a great selection of groceries, spices and pottery.love this place!”
Pizza • $
“PizzaPazza's Margherita pizza is so tasty and fresh. It is a perfectly sized personal pizza. Their pizza dough recipe has clearly been perfected. It has great flavor and is hand stretched to the perfect proportion. The pizza base is thin but remains soft, and the crust rises nicely and has great chew. Again, super fresh cheese, sauce and basil. After eating the whole thing, I am left wanting just one more slice... but if it were any bigger, I would certainly be over-full.”
Bakery • $$$
“I Love this bakery.!!!I purchased a Chocolate cake and it was so delicious and moist.There are numerous cakes to purchase all different flavors.What I truly appreciate are slices of all these fantastic cakes on display and you can buy a slice and determine what cake you prefer.

“It is my opinion that Argus Farm stop is one of the best iterations of a local foods store that I have ever seen. And it’s not just hometown love clouding my judgment. They have a vibrant company culture, and a commitment to nourishing our community. Hats off not only to the founders and their vision, but to the amazing staff past and present who make it all happen. 💚💚💚”

Cafe • $
“Love this place-
Tried Canelle for the first time in Detroit, and this branch is just as nice. This spot has fresh pastries, good coffee (and an amazing Mocha), and a comforting overall ambiance. The Parisian influence is especially nice and the outdoor patio on a crisp summer/fall day is just so pleasant. I’d highly recommend a visit if you’re on the lookout for a neat coffee spot in Ann Arbor.”
Middle Eastern • $
“Was there on a Tuesday6:30 Sept 6. FIRST TIME. Best falafel ever had. Ordered no hummus Vegetables instead. Nice amount of tomato onion and lettus. Went again 6:30 tuesday on sept.13. Like a bad dream ordered 2 falafel Got 80% lettus and cucumber. One veggie fried ball broken into 3 pieces. Pocket bread was cold. Was charged $20 for the 2. Like bad joke. They closed at 7pm. So there I was eating them in the parking lot. I'd come from Jackson just for that meal....! LIKE A BAD DREAM !”
Bubble Tea • $
“Lychee green tea with strawberry popping boba was good! At one point I had more boba than tea, which I thought would be a good problem until I missed sipping on the tea lol.
That’s one thing I’d change. Ration of tea to boba. Otherwise, great options and mix 👌”
“Great gyros and crispy fries. Large portions, too! As good as advertised.”
Sushi Bar • $
“We just got specialty sushi rolls, they were all good. Our fav was the Broadway, only critic from my family was that the Salmon on the Beach had too much cream cheese lol. Very nice staff and atmosphere, there were about 10-15 tables if I had to say and it was pretty much completely full on a Monday night so I might recommend a reservation.
Parking: Nice parking lot but best for smaller cars”
Bubble Tea • $
“I loved their seasonal Honeydew slush with Coconut Jelly. But mixed in their Ube Shake with sago.. I think the Ube could have added a bit more Ube flavor as it was a bit bland.”
Coffee Shops • $
“Really nice place and fun atmosphere, looks like a good place to post up for a bit and get some work done.
Got the cafe con miel which was made with honey and cinnamon and was really good. My main gripe with those kinds of drinks is it’s wayyyy too sweet usually, and not even coffee anymore but this was really nice and balanced.
Got a cherry cheese danish too that was pretty good too.”
Mexican • $
“Innovative menu and fresh ingredients! With so many Mexican restaurants in this area this place stands out as the best!

Tapas Bar • $$$
“The staff were super accommodating to us as vegans. We had the vegan paella, and 5 tapas options. Peppers, tatas bravas, mushrooms (this was amazing!), artichoke and the catalan bread. I think 3x out of 5 of these were customized dishes made for us with some substitutions. Worked out around $50 pp, shared between 3 people. Pretty decent value for a very nice meal.”

“We had our wedding at Vinology and I am beyond glad that we did. To say they were great to work with would be a major understatement as we were absolutely blown away by everything- from their stunning venue and exquisite food to their incredible customer service. Vinology not only handles their events with professionalism and attention to detail, but they genuinely care about the people they are hosting the events for.
From the very start, the communication was impeccable. We primarily worked with Neal, who was amazing. He was knowledgeable, kind and quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. We also worked with Shelley, who was also extremely helpful and kind. There wasn’t a single staff member that we encountered throughout the entire process that wasn’t equally wonderful and hardworking. Especially on the night of the event!
The venue setup was beautiful and the transition between ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and reception ran smoothly. All of our guests raved about the spectacular food, saying that it was the best they have ever had at a wedding and that they couldn’t get over how elegant and perfect the space was.
Once the wedding was over, Vinology continued to impress us. The next day we found that in all of the leftover food that had been packed up, we were missing a few meals that were supposed to be included (from the guests that were unable to attend last minute). Neal worked with us and the chef to have fresh meals made and picked up at a time that worked well for us. We were very impressed that they did this and as always, they were delicious!
We cannot thank Vinology enough for everything they have done and for giving us the most extraordinary day that we will never forget!”

Japanese • $$
“We have eaten here twice now, while picking up our daughter at UMICH. Both times the food was excellent! Also have to give a big shout to our server Cathy, who waited on us for both visits. She was very attentive and knowledgeable about the dishes and made great suggestions for us as we learned the menu. Highly recommend Slurping Turtle!”
Bar • $$
“They gave away our table accidentally, so we weren't seated until 15 minutes after our reservation, but they set up a new table to get us in and did everything in their power to fix the mistake. After that initial bump, a wonderful experience”
Japanese • $$
“I ate here with friends while visiting from out of state. We were there on a Friday evening so there was a short wait for a table, but not excessive. The service was excellent and the food was perfect. It was just loud enough to have some conversation privacy, but not so loud I had trouble hearing my friends or having to raise be voice to be heard.”
Asian • $$$
“My husband and I went out for our anniversary dinner and took a chance on a brand new spot. We were so glad we did! The food was phenomenal and we had A LOT of it! We shared the Christmas sushi roll, lamb skewers, oysters, avocado salad, Thai basil flank steak stir fry and tiramisu for dessert. Beautiful spot, great service and reasonably priced for the quality. We will be back!”

Fine Dining • $$$
“Great food and great dinner music. Wait staff were very attentive”
Japanese • $$
“This place was so refreshing after walking around in 95 degree weather. We ordered several vegetable rolls (the pickled radish roll is my favorite) and the Zaru Soba (without tempura). The waiter was able to confirm that the zaru soba is vegan but the tempura batter is made with egg, so we just had the noodles. We really enjoyed the food.”
New American • $$$
“It is not a massive menu. However, we tried quite a few dishes and every dish was prepared with care and precision. The flavors were not overwhelming but crafted to meld together and balance each other wonderfully. I will 100% be back . Well done!! I would also like to add that the bar manager has done a wonderful job of creatively mixing sweet with citrus in the drinks and the entire staff was welcoming and friendly and helpful.”
American • $$$
“Excellent food, drinks, and atmosphere. The rotating menu of seasonal flavors is well balanced and thoughtful. The menu for each month is fixed, but they have a few optional add-ons if you're still hungry. Their wait staff is knowledgeable about all the food and eager to recommend a glass of their favorite wine.
One small area for improvement: our first course was a delicious focaccia, but a little olive oil for dipping would have really taken it over the top. Olive oil was one of the optional add-ons for $4, but we didn't think about it until after we had mostly finished the course. I'd suggest just including this kind of thing as part of the course, and if you need to raise the overall price by $4, I don't think anyone would complain.”

The food is amazing, the variety of meats that are offered is great, and there are so many interesting dishes within the salad buffet. Thank you for such a great evening, we will absolutely be back!”

“As a Turkish man living abroad, l missed the test of real authentic Turkish food. I saw Ayse Cafe on the map, and changed my route to try. I am glad l did, l felt like l am in my mother’s kitchen. Everything was very good and the place was very clean and cute. From now on it is my most favorite place in Ohio. Highly recommended.”

“Four of us came to this restaurant right after graduation. We were offered limited graduation menu. We ordered pretty much all meals on the menu. Drinks were good, food was OK and service was good. It was expensive and I felt like you paid for ambiance. Had heard a lot about this place but at the end it was disappointing overall”
Health Food • $$
“So far, so good! I am a new customer, and I will update it when I have experienced their meal service more. Home-cooked meals at reasonable prices, and seems much healthier than eating out all the time.
I wish I would've known about them earlier and during the pandemic. I'm glad that this meal cooking service exists in Ann Arbor. Check out their website to learn about their rotating menu. One of the pick up sites is pretty close to the Zingerman's bakehouse location and is convenient for me. Take out/pick up/ once weekly meal delivery to your door (orders over $50 in AA area). Usual delivery day is Friday but there are also Saturday pick up options.”
Pizza • $$
“The food was outstanding!!! We had the Chicago style pizza pie and wow it was amazing and very filling! I would recommend this place hands down! We will definitely return here for more when we are in the area! Thank you for the deliciousness and for a great experience eating in your restaurant! We will be back!”
Hot Dogs • $$
“Just had an awesome meal at Chicago Reds Windy City Hotdog, and I can’t say enough good things about it! We ordered chicken fingers with fries, a BLT, a Reuben, and, of course, chili dogs. Every single bite was delicious. The chicken fingers were crispy, the BLT was perfectly balanced, and the Reuben had just the right amount of tang. And those chili dogs? Absolutely hit the spot. The food was amazing, and I can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for some seriously good eats!”
American • $$
“Five stars for me and my 81-year-old mom! First time eating here as we don’t live in or around Ann Arbor, but will definitely go back if ever in the area! The manager Roy went above and beyond in several ways! He took the time to explain to us how the building used to be an old sawmill and that’s why the decor is the way that it is such an eclectic beautiful place! The server Alyssa was patient with my 81 year-old mother with a smile on her face taking her time with Mom and myself to answer all of our questions! Wish I could give her a raise because she’s one of the best servers I’ve ever had!”

“Stopped in on game day from a bite to eat before the night game. We were able to get a table upstairs without a wait.
The service was solid, and efficient. Couldn't ask for much more with them being busy. Most importantly the food came quickly, was served hot, and delicious.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant. We will be back.”

“Check out my I G lawyer.traveler.dreamer for more footage of our dining experience. Zola Bistro in Bucharest is one of those places that instantly makes you want to stay longer. The floral decor is beautiful without feeling overdone. The space feels cozy and stylish at the same time. I went there for lunch with a friend, and it was exactly the kind of place you want for a slow, easy conversation over good food. The menu has a nice variety. Everything we tried was fresh and well-prepared. I ordered a matcha latte that came with a tiny bear-shaped foam on top, which was a fun touch. We also loved the comfortable seating. The swing chairs gave the place a playful vibe without feeling gimmicky. Service was friendly and fairly quick, even though the place was busy. Prices are on the higher end for Bucharest but fair for the quality and atmosphere. If you’re into places that balance aesthetics with solid food and a relaxed feel, Zola is worth checking out.”

“This was our first time in and we tried two cold salads - the Royal Fusion and Kick n' Fresca. Both were fresh and delicious, and we really enjoyed the sweet chili dressing. It had the right amount of sweet and hot. The restaurant is super clean and Karzan is really friendly. We will definitely be regulars!”

“Four of us came to this restaurant right after graduation. We were offered limited graduation menu. We ordered pretty much all meals on the menu. Drinks were good, food was OK and service was good. It was expensive and I felt like you paid for ambiance. Had heard a lot about this place but at the end it was disappointing overall”

“If you like lots of beans, this is the place for you! My wife and I went there recently for dinner, I had Beef Nachos and my wife had a quesadilla. I swear they were both 75% beans! The other ingredients were fresh and tasty, there was very little meat. The service was decent but we won’t be going back.”

“HopCat in Ann Arbor delivers a fantastic dining experience with both flair and flavor. From the moment you walk in, the décor stands out— unique trendy, and artistically inspired without feeling overdone. It sets a lively, creative tone that fits perfectly in a college town. The food does not disappoint. I ordered the Hangover Helper (sunrise-style cheeseburger), and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked, hearty, and incredibly satisfying. The runny egg, melty cheese, and seasoned beef patty all came together in a flavor-packed bite that truly hits the spot. The Lobster Mac was another standout. Creamy, rich, and filled with tender lobster, it was indulgent without being overwhelming. Every bite felt like comfort food elevated with a touch of elegance. Overall, HopCat is a great spot for anyone looking for a bold, flavorful meal in a vibrant setting. Highly recommended!”

The decor is so adorable and fun, the service was great, and I love that they have a ton of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options!”
