Horrible service. Our waiter never took our entree orders after we got our apps but walked by our table a number of times so we left and went somewhere else.

First time staying at this property, I dined in at the bar lounge with a friend and we loved it! The bartenders, Dan, and Anne, were so friendly and professional. To top it off drinks were perfect, and for a hotel restaurant actually not unreasonably priced. Food menu was small but hit all the marks as far as a great range of offerings. I highly recommend the burger and onion soup, both were top notch. I will be coming back to stay here again, and would love to see this place during a football weekend!

Claire, we are so sorry there was an issue with your reservation and being served. It appears that opentable had our hours for the last reservations set later than our kitchen was open, we own this mistake and apologize profusely! please feel free to contact us as we would love to do something special for you if you come in again and give us another chance.

We had reservations at 7:15pm for 2 people. The greeter showed us to our table / seats & even got us drinks within a reasonable time, however that was the last anyone stopped at our table. At 7:35pm, we got up and went to the bar to pay for our drinks & left. No one should have to wait 20+ minutes to simply put in their order. There appeared to be two people working as waiters, a woman wearing a mask, and an older gentleman wearing all black, who seemed to be utterly useless. I made it a point to make eye-contact with all three individuals, and all three recognized me / that we were ready to order. As many others have pointed out, this place normally has minimal guests, and I am sure the staff was busy, but I would have hoped they could have planned much, much better for NYE, as the hotel & restaurant is busy during this time, and normally is, every year. To make it worse, this restaurant is pricey, and the food isn't that great. This was our last visit. I hope you do better for others, should this restaurant remain.

Edward, our sincerest apologies for the missteps on New Years Eve, we have been restaffing and training to reboot the restaurant in the coming year.

This place is so unique and cool! We had the entire restaurant to ourselves, which we don't know why!? This is one of Ann Arbor hidden gems! Great decor, tasty food, and friendly staff.

This shouldn’t continue to be a restaurant - nobody is ever there and the food is mid at best. Service was fine, but overall not a great experience.

It was dead quiet as the restaurant was nearly empty. The two staff they had were nice/pleasant. The burger was great!

This is a restaurant that appears to have lost its mojo. Basically empty at 6:45pm. Out of draft beer and did not have one of the items we tried to order. But pricey. Glass of wine $15. In the Graduate hotel, but cannot charge bill on hotel account. Food ok, but nothing special.
