Restaurants near Moscow Station Historical

Let me just say this place saved what should’ve been an epic fail on my end. As the boyfriend, I didn’t book anything for Valentine’s Day. By the time I realized, Farmhouse Kitchen had the only opening left for the night within 45 minutes on open table. We came from Angola and it’s really not a bad drive. Now let me just say, Farmhouse Kitchen had an opening on Valentine’s Day, so my hopes were not the highest (granted it was only for 2 and at the bar). It absolutely blew my expectations out of the water. The food I felt was fairly priced for what it was, but the quality was very high. Everything tasted amazing, and out bartender (I believe his name was Steven) was one of the best bartenders/waiters that I’ve ever had. He was a great talker and fun to be around for the night. Overall, on a night that should’ve been an epic fail on my end, we ended up finding this hidden gem. Now we plan on making trips out there all of the time. It was absolutely amazing and I urge you to give it a shot. You will not be disappointed!

Outstanding experience for lunch- feels like dinner at a formal dining experience where the owner/establishment doesn't do cost saving short cuts a like many ann arbor restaurant managers do for lunch, like reducing dining room staff, removing buss person( clean assist in table clearing, or expeditors that bring entrees to table when server/waitstaff are occupied. So here you have a set of dedicated staff for all front of house service; a host, a waitress/waiter, a buss person, an expeditor( to bring waters, refills of coffee, entrees when order has been taken ) - this creates a production line kind of flow - for faster service for hot food arriving to table timely. Also they are not cheap about fine dining ware; white table cloth( almost non-existent today ) full set of silver/table wear, and hot pots for table set coffee if needed. The kitchen must be a classic proper chef/ professional production equipped kitchen, as they have capability to have dry meat locker( steak house type ), steaming option for vegetables, and all needed for scratch cooking - not from a box , again like many ann arbor restaurants. The menu is a sign of all mention here, as many items would rarely be offered in many places , like genuine lobster bisque, london broil, hand made cole slaw, hand made mashed potatoes, ext.- these things may seem trivial but go see where else you can experience all this, also most lunch entrees are $12-$21 , where portions are very generous and coffee is high caliber roasts with $3.50 with endless refills. So yea - worlds above a fast food joint or mass franchise feed lot, corn syrup, and box sourced food that often are same cost.

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!

The server was very nice and attentive. As a long time Red Lobster fan the food on this trip was less than ideal. The fish in the fish and chips meal was more breading than fish and the hush puppies were not hush puppies - they were corn nuggets. Dining companion's medium rare steak was very close to well done.

This was the best dining experience I have had in at least 3 years. Captain Jack Sparrow was our server and he was incredible. Friendly, funny, on top of all we asked for and made us feel like he was there for us. So many servers and restaurants have been settling for crap service with no apologies. This is the only restaurant in Jackson that I have had a good experience with and I will only dine here from now on when I want a night out.
