They went above and beyond with personalized drink recommendations that matched each of our tastes perfectly. Every cocktail was spot-on — creative, balanced, and beautifully presented.

It’s rare to find a place where you feel both welcomed and truly looked after, but Nightcap nails it. Whether you’re a cocktail enthusiast or just out for a good time, this is definitely the spot. Can’t wait to come back!“

“The Last Word is, without a doubt, one of Ann Arbor's top destinations for serious cocktails. This place offers a dark, cozy, and sophisticated atmosphere that makes it perfect for intimate conversation and savoring expertly crafted drinks. They truly excel at classic cocktails, and their namesake drink, The Last Word, is perfection every single time—balanced, complex, and refreshing. I also absolutely love their Islay Sour—the scotch drink made with Laphroaig and egg whites. That smoky, frothy creation is the reason I keep coming back“

“Neat little spot. 5 dollar cover. Had a speakeasy underground vibe to it. Bartender was super nice. It turns into like a dance club at night, which was stupid. I had absinthe the real way and really enjoyed that and it was only like 9 bucks. The drinks were super affordable.“

“Concept of the bar was great. Waitresses or lovely. Tom sandovalt want to be bartender complete jackass! Will never come back.“

“Great food! We especially love the Brussels sprouts with the peanut butter sauce, the wings, and the grilled whitefish! I am not a gin person, but I really like theirs in their cocktails!“

“I just have to put it out there again, that Red Rooster is one of my favorite places, to get a good meal from. They have a variety of foods besides pizza and all are good. I do mostly delivery and are always on time. Love me some Red Rooster. I order from them probably at least once a week.“

“I drove 30 minutes in the snow and it was worth it. The host (young man) at the door was super accommodating. The wait staff was top notch, food and drinks were delicious and the live music this Sunday was perfect. I will definitely be coming back soon. Great job!!!“

“I'm going to have to keep this short as I have a endless supply of kind words about Hidden King. This place is the definition of hidden gem. The service was absolutely amazing, the inside looks like you're traveling into this super secret club with games at every table. Mark (the owner) is such a chill guy to talk to and very much approachable along with the rest of the staff. The drinks are also absolutely amazing. They have a bunch of creative spins to all of their drinks. If you also don't want to drink they have an assortment of teahaus teas that you can grab too. This place is just such a hidden gem and such a cool place to be.

10/10 - I tell everyone that would listen about Hidden King and how awesome it is.“

“We had a great birthday meal with my daughter. Elijah, Jake, and Dylan all made our experience there exceptional. Drinks were out of this world as was the food and the service. Loved every minute of it!“

“Seriously underrated place. Fantastic food - Tacos, meatloaf, fries, burgers. Great service both times. Only down side was the noise level gets intolerable Friday and Saturday nights. Had to leave from the noise to couldn't hear my friend sitting across the table.

I've suggested investing in some noise cancelling technology. Let's see if they act on it. Otherwise a wonderful place. The Christmas decor is adorable.“

“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.“

“The spicy margarita was amazing.“

“First time at this new eatery; Staff is exceptional, menu is eclectic, every dish was delicious. Hidden gem!“
