“What a gem! Echelon is truly an amazing experience! In fact, our experience was so remarkable, we ate there twice while in town. The restaurant is gorgeous, a real feast for the eyes that gives a significant nod to the building’s rich architectural past while pulling a warm art deco design in a space fitting for an architectural magazine. As amazing as the space was the entire service and food team. Our servers – Jenn on night one and Ella on night two – were so friendly, knowledgeable and everyone went above and beyond to ensure our experience at Echelon was something we would never forget (and we won’t!). We even got visits from the kitchen with Chef Joe VanWagner coming by to greet us, expediter and professional forager Marc Jacob Qualls-Sanchez coming by for a long session on his foraging expertise (amazing!), and even their new tiki bar (coming soon!) manager Max giving us the DL on that space and renovations. We felt like royalty! For a special treat above and beyond the food, service, and overall experience, the Echelon team passed around menus that night to have all the front and back of house staff autograph it for us! I am so excited to add this to the unforgettable memories of our trip to Ann Arbor. It’s absolutely no wonder that Echelon was nominated for a James Beard award. Every bite, every conversation, every story, every sensation was top-shelf!“

“I have gone here on three different occasions, for three different tasting menus. Every time I was surprised by the offerings and everything has been delicious. We were lucky enough to catch the last day of their special pierogi menu night, and it was one of the best meals I’ve had this year. Amazing!“

“Update:

I would like to thank management but more especially the staff for going above and beyond to remedy my previous concerns. Went back with my dad yesterday. We had great service and food. Cannelle is a must try in Ann Arbor!“

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Vinology on August 7, thanks in large part to our amazing server, Kristina! She was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the entire evening. Her recommendations were excellent, and she struck the perfect balance between being available and allowing us to relax and enjoy our meal.

Kristina mentioned that she is getting married next weekend, and we wish her and her future spouse a lifetime of love and happiness! Her exceptional service made an already lovely evening feel truly special. She is a tremendous asset to Vinology, and we look forward to returning!“

“Best service we’ve ever had, food was delicious and so fresh. Highly recommend! Ask for Moe when you go, he’s the best! ❤️“
