- DDanDetroit / Eastern Michigan •13 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe enjoyed the Valentine’s menu, especially the fig and Stilton & braised carrots starters and the Cid special! James was super attentive and we’re glad he works for Zola! Nice to see him these past several years taking care of us.More infoCafe ZolaPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Ann Arbor•4.4
- NNiaDetroit / Eastern Michigan •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoHad a wonderful experience. Dinner was delicious and the service I have to say was excellent. Marina was very attentive, polite, and happy. It was busy since it was Valentine’s night but Marina was on top of it all. Looking forward to coming back and must have Marina as our server.More infoCarlyle GrillPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Ann Arbor•4.7
- KKatToronto / Ontario •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoCame 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!More infoSelden StandardPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Detroit•4.8
- TTamaraDetroit / Eastern Michigan •20 reviews4.0Dined on Jan 11, 2025You might not think to dine at a hotel restaurant in Ann Arbor. But give Rel*ish a try. Their BBQ is delicious! We had the BBQ chicken, ribs, and brisket and all were cooked perfectly, and the sauce had just the right amount of 'zing'. Side dishes, especially the mac & cheese, were also very good.More infoRelish RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Ann Arbor•3.7
- AA2dinerVIPDetroit / Eastern Michigan •135 reviews4.0Dined on Jan 9, 2025We love Taste. And were disappointed in the menu change. We anticipated having the mussels, grilled salmon and monkfish, risotto appetizer. They have changed to a tapas style menu with many cold or warm, not hot, items. Odd to start in January. Everything was well prepared as can be expected from Taste yet not the full flavor we were accustomed to. Definitely healthy fare. Atmosphere and service remains top notch.More infoTaste KitchenPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Ann Arbor•4.6
