    “Honestly? This bar slaps. Jordan and Landon are great bartenders. Morgan is cool too. Tristian was wonderful too. Excellent mixed drinks, friendly staff, and great atmosphere. You are doing yourself a disservice if you don’t visit next time you are in Ann Arbor. Go Blue”

    “Overall, this place is good but not what it used to be. The cheese board needs some work, very hard beard, mustard didn't make sense, pickled green beans and I think it was beets...? The chicken sliders were dry, both bread and chicken. The fries were good.”

The staff were so kind and brought us water and Tums. We were incredibly grateful for their kindness and thoughtfulness. Thank you guys so much for taking care of us! ❤”

    “What an incredible venue! I hosted my wedding welcome party here and my guests had an amazing time. What drew us to the venue was just how incredibly unique the venue is, it's sort of like a underground speakeasy with multiple caverns/vaults. Special shoutout to the venue coordinator Aubrey, she's amazing to work with!”

    “My go-to location for a happy hour with friends, but only on warm months :). I like the open seating as a large party can spread out, and you don’t need to worry about reserving tables or having known headcount before arriving. Paying at the bar is also pratical, as you don’t need to worry about the bill at the end. They don’t offer food, but you can grab something from a restaurant around and enjoy it here.”

    “We visited Mani for the first time with our group of 6 friends. The restaurant is cute and the different levels and layout was nice. Very cool to see the open kitchen. The tables were very small and cramped. We were at a table for 6 but with 6 adults we barely had room to move our arms comfortably due to how short the table was and how close to the wall. We visited around 8 pm so it was very busy but even being that busy, our cocktails took an exceptionally long time to come out. We got the calamari and the focaccia to share. The calamari was good and the focaccia with the honey butter and chili oil was honestly the best bread any of us have ever had. The combination of the bread and the butter and honey and chili oil was unexpected but absolutely fantastic and delicious. I got the Cacio e Pepe which was very good. I tried my friend’s shrimp scampi pasta and it was fantastic. The pizza was also very good. I got the isalita margarita and the espresso cocktail which were both delicious. Our sever was good as well overall. The only other complaint is that for the 6 of us all of our meals came out separately. I have never been to a restaurant where they don’t hold the food until it’s all ready to come out. There was almost 10 minutes between the first person who got food and the last of us who did. Luckily the phenomenal food and drinks will bring us back but hoping next time the service is a little more organized and we can get a table for 6 in the middle and not crammed against the wall.”
