Best Fun Restaurants in Pinckney

By far, the best restaurant in the area. I would recommend it.

Staff was professional but personable. We expected a wait but we were able to be seated quickly even on Valentine’s Day! Great selection of bourbon in and outside of the budget! I recommend this restaurant as this my 3rd visit and there has been no reduction in quality of service or food!

Very cool place puts you in the mind of STK and Komodo. I had the special with the courses. A lot of food for the buck. The shrimp dip was a bit spicy but still very food. I had a rib cap that I barely made it through I was super full. Very nice but the service could be a little bit faster. They had two bartenders that were very attentive but they could have used an extra hand. One thing that really did upset me is I did do a SOLO date but paid like everyone else. By the second course I was asked if I could move to accommodate someone else. Yeah , no. Look into and at that before you seat me. I did come early but I did that out of expectation for it to be busy. Check your seating , check in with your guest before arrival. I had went to candy bar prior and their service was outstanding you know why? They called, they catered, and they delivered before I even came in.

Our recent visit to Gandy Dancer in Ann Arbor was nothing short of exceptional. Nestled in a beautifully restored historic train depot, this restaurant offers a dining experience that is as unique as it is delicious. The ambiance is charming and nostalgic, with large windows overlooking the train tracks. During our meal, a train passed by, adding to the charm and making for an unforgettable moment. The food was outstanding. I enjoyed perfectly seared scallops and shrimp atop a creamy, flavorful risotto, while my wife had a delicious salmon dish with seasoned broccoli that was cooked to perfection. Each bite was rich in flavor and expertly prepared. We also indulged in some fantastic cocktails, which were well-balanced and refreshing. To top off the evening, we shared a decadent chocolate truffle cake, which was pure bliss—rich, velvety, and the perfect sweet ending to our meal. The service was impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who made our experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner, a special celebration, or simply a great meal in a unique setting, Gandy Dancer is a must-visit in Ann Arbor. We will definitely be returning!

Came here for the second consecutive year to celebrate my birthday tonight. Our second visit was just as delicious and enjoyable as our first. We got the beet salad, halloumi, their flatbread special, bucatini and the walleye. Every single dish had amazing flavour and decent portions. They also gave me a little birthday dessert which was a really nice way to end the meal. The cocktails were also really good-especially “I yam what I yam” was super unique and truly so tasty! Cant wait to come back next year!
