Food was well made and good. But the overall ambiance was awful. Horrible acoustics dominated the evening with an irritating din from other customers that detracted greatly from a good time. Was expecting a warm, comfortable vibe that you find at Brady's Bistro in Novi. Nothing could be more different than the setup at the AA location.

Great happy hour! The crispy ravioli is delicious. Wide selection of drinks. Staff were so friendly! Vegan and gluten free options.

Pretty underwhelming, especially for the price range.Ambience is quite good, and it seems like a good place to watch sports- so definitely a good place to catch an away match on a fall Saturday.Other than that, the food was quite underwhelming. The food options seemed to be thoughtfully curated based on the menu, but however, some of the signature dishes don't have it coming through when served on the plate.Drinks were moderately priced, and pretty watered down. In general, has to offer way less for the money.

My server seemed like he had an attitude and did not want to be there. Didn't check on us, the bartender actually came and refilled our drinks and asked how we were doing. I understand if you're overwhelmed with tables but you don't have to be rude, you work in service. The food is ok, rather overpriced for what you get. Drinks are great though!

They do not have a side salad. Ordered soup and it came to the table cold. Burger was ordered med it came to the table rare and it was also cold with cold fries. Wait staff was not very friendly. Ordered the carrot cake, it was a thin piece of orange cake with so much warm frosting we had to scoop it to the side. We will not go back. The music was good but way too loud, it was hard to talk with out yelling.

A Facebook ad with great descriptions about their scallops made us believe they serve good food. What a disappointing experience. The scallops were Luke warm, undercooked, garlic overloaded and 35$. The rigatoni was TV dinner quality. Everything overpriced.

A pity that we didn’t take pictures of our delicious dishes. I had the seared and roasted salmon, my husband had the Bad Axe Burger, and my niece had the Spanish octopus. They’re all savory, deliciously fantastic! It’s a noisy place but, hey, concentrate on savoring your food.
We had a group of 7 on a football Saturday. The restaurant was busy and food took a while, but our waitress let us know ahead and was attentive to our table. Food was good and portions very good size!

I've been coming to this restaurant since 2019. And sadly, every experience has gone downhill. Jim Brady's AA gotten rid of good food on the menu. The apps have gotten too small. The salad selections are not great anymore. And I had a burger last night that was over cooked.
Food was lovely but the restaurant was so noisy we literally couldn't hear the person sat next to us. Music was really loud too which didn't help. As I said food was good but not sure we'd return.

Had a fabulous cafe lunch on their outdoor patio. The chef had one of the best appetizers of the tuna wonton - highly recommend.My blackberry drink was also amazing

The Korean Short Ribs were awesome. For my entree I got the pasta which was so bland it wasn’t worth eating. The steak was mediocre. The rest of my table had the fish tacos and they said they were great.

We wanted to eat in downtown Ann Arbor because we were going to a show at the Ark. We arrived about 6:30, knowing it was a home game weekend. We weren't expecting the insane crowds of people eating out, coupled with low staffing at many of our formerly favorite places to eat. We finally moved further north on Main Street and saw that Diamond Jim's didn't have a crazy crowd so we decided to try our luck. It was a great choice. We sat at the bar and had the friendliest and best service we've had in quite a while from Ashley and Andreos. The food came quickly and was delicious. The salad was excellent, followed by our mains-- mine salmon while my husband had the whitefish. Both were great. We shared a dessert. The dragons sangria was truly wonderful. Strongly recommend!

Mediocre food and drink. Cold food and very salty. Disappointing as it is an Ann Arbor staple. Food took forever, apps and salads came out with entrees and the fish was overcooked.
