    We were lucky to be seated in a booth, which helped lower the otherwise high noise volume. My grilled cheese sandwich was good, not great. Husband liked his chicken pot pie. Sorry to see they dropped shrimp and grits from the menus, and also dropped the Hot Brown sandwich. The menu, in my opinion, is less interesting than it used to be, though some favorites like the tomato pies, crab cakes, and delicious short ribs with cheese polenta are still there. I will eat there again, especially in summer when we can eat outdoors.

    This is my new favorite restaurant in the Ann Arbor area! The food is very good with a lot of creative dishes featuring a nice variety of flavors and dietary options. The cocktails, tap list and dessert selections are great, as well. The ambiance is fabulous, with comfortable seating, ample space to move around, great background music, and cheeky branding. The service is good, though we waited longer than expected for our entree to come out. But, I forgot my leftovers at the table when we left, and the hostess called me to let me know! That’s was going above and beyond, in my opinion. I can’t wait to experience the outdoor games and live music when the weather warms!

    Excellent service. Was there on a slow night. Tomato pies were very good. All our food was exceptional and came out quickly. Would love to try their outdoor space when it gets warmer

    Try to make your sweet pot fries crispier. Service is always good. Love happy hour prices.

    We had a large group of 12 and were seated promptly and had waters waiting. Our server was excellent and drinks came out very quickly. Appetizers were delicious, the monray fries are so good and the pasties were excellent! Before we knew it our main dishes arrived and were amazing! Our server was very attentive and refills came without asking.

    Excellent experience, tasty food, prompt and friendly service. Looks like a fun spot when the weather gets warmer with their outdoor space, will have to check it out in the summer.
