New American Restaurants in Ann Arbor, MI

“Love this place-

Tried Canelle for the first time in Detroit, and this branch is just as nice. This spot has fresh pastries, good coffee (and an amazing Mocha), and a comforting overall ambiance. The Parisian influence is especially nice and the outdoor patio on a crisp summer/fall day is just so pleasant. I’d highly recommend a visit if you’re on the lookout for a neat coffee spot in Ann Arbor.“

“10/10 Experience! The service was exceptional from start to finish. Kenny was incredibly attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. The general manager, Andrew, was welcoming and offered a fantastic wine recommendation for my friend. The food was absolutely phenomenal. I had the butternut squash ravioli, and my friend had the balsamic tenderloin—both dishes were flavorful and beautifully prepared. We finished with the pistachio cake, which was divine. Compliments to the management, staff, and chef for an unforgettable evening. We’ll definitely be back!“

“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!“

“It is not a massive menu. However, we tried quite a few dishes and every dish was prepared with care and precision. The flavors were not overwhelming but crafted to meld together and balance each other wonderfully. I will 100% be back . Well done!! I would also like to add that the bar manager has done a wonderful job of creatively mixing sweet with citrus in the drinks and the entire staff was welcoming and friendly and helpful.“

“Our waitress Nicole was outstanding! Food was excellent! Recommend the beef stroganoff!“

“It is probably the closest restaurant to real german food I have had in Michigan ,we had a very nice lunch and the Weizen Bier was great, our Waitress Maiah was super nice and a pleasure to be around, we will definitely go back“

“Great food and the staff is incredible!“

“We had our wedding at Vinology and I am beyond glad that we did. To say they were great to work with would be a major understatement as we were absolutely blown away by everything- from their stunning venue and exquisite food to their incredible customer service. Vinology not only handles their events with professionalism and attention to detail, but they genuinely care about the people they are hosting the events for.

From the very start, the communication was impeccable. We primarily worked with Neal, who was amazing. He was knowledgeable, kind and quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. We also worked with Shelley, who was also extremely helpful and kind. There wasn’t a single staff member that we encountered throughout the entire process that wasn’t equally wonderful and hardworking. Especially on the night of the event!

The venue setup was beautiful and the transition between ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and reception ran smoothly. All of our guests raved about the spectacular food, saying that it was the best they have ever had at a wedding and that they couldn’t get over how elegant and perfect the space was.

Once the wedding was over, Vinology continued to impress us. The next day we found that in all of the leftover food that had been packed up, we were missing a few meals that were supposed to be included (from the guests that were unable to attend last minute). Neal worked with us and the chef to have fresh meals made and picked up at a time that worked well for us. We were very impressed that they did this and as always, they were delicious!

We cannot thank Vinology enough for everything they have done and for giving us the most extraordinary day that we will never forget!“

“Superb! The food was creative and incredible - we especially loved the butternut squash ravioli with kimchi and the sausage with white beans. The menu was prefix and $75 a person, with immaculate service and generous portions. Perfect vibe to celebrate my anniversary with my partner.

Note it's hard to get a reservation - you need to book as soon as reservations opened at the beginning of the month. October dining is indoors, which was a cozy vibe.“

“the decor was all Michigan wolverine theme and the menu and drinks had a lot of choices but everything was so delicious and it was real filling so it was a enjoyable experience thanks again Allison“

“This is hands down the best restaurant for anyone with dietary restrictions. The food is excellent as is or the gluten-free options. Always a staple to come here whenever someone visits from out of town. The fresh juices and lattes are delicious as well!“

“Great staff, always willing to talk with customers about food. Introduced great sandwich menu with build-your-own option. Burgers and fries with unlimited free toppings are awesome! Salad bar is quite good and one of few places you can eat healthy in the area.“

“I went to the Mothers Day Buffet on Sunday.The food was great! The service was excellent. Looking forward too next year.“

“Pleasant first experience. Original Lemonade is the perfect balance of tart and sweet. Food was super tasty and delicious, but I wish the portions were a tad larger.. especially the protein! $15-20 and your bowl is mostly carbs. Otherwise, solid place for healthier options.“

“I don’t know if anyone else has noticed, but California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) has always been one of those reliable go-to spots for me. It’s consistent, it’s delicious, and it never disappoints.
We’ve got a couple of favorites that are always in the mix. For starters, you can’t go wrong with the Thai Chicken Salad—fresh, flavorful, and a perfect blend of sweet and spicy. My wife is all about the Tequila Lime Fettuccine, and every time she gets it, she raves about the flavor.
As for me, I’m a pizza guy. Sometimes I go with the classic Pepperoni, other times I mix it up with the Pepperoni and Mushroom or The Works. Honestly, you can’t miss with any of those choices. The crust is always on point, and the toppings are generous and flavorful.
What I appreciate most about CPK is that it’s consistent. Every visit feels like a safe bet for a satisfying meal, and that kind of reliability is hard to come by these days. So, kudos to you, CPK, for being that backbone of a spot I know I can count on. You’ll definitely stay in my regular rotation.“

“aMa Bistro was a very nice restaurant especially in a college town! We had the vegetable omelet, stuffed french toast, and the furghessa which were all very nice. I think the stuffed french toast is as must try but everything was great over all. Have a try!“
