“We really enjoyed our dinner at Shakers! Our waitress, Leah, was very friendly, made sure our order was perfect, and kept coming back to check if we needed anything else. Leah was outstanding and made our dining experience excellent! Also, the manager, Crystal, checked on us to make sure we were enjoying our meal and was very friendly and kind! We will definitely be returning to Shakers after having such a great experience.“

“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!“

“If you want the European cafe experience this is as close as it gets here!

Excellent pastries and good coffee. Just be prepared for limited seating…it is tight and when people opt for the real cafe experience seats don’t open quickly.

My wife and I come at least one Saturday afternoon per month to sit, talk, and enjoy.“

“Eric, I want to thank you immensely for a fabulous experience with the Mother’s Day & surprise 60th anniversary party for my in-laws on May 10 in the Barrel Room. From the planning process to day-of execution…everything exceeded our expectations. I want to give a special shout-out to our waitress, Melina H. for being so efficient. professional, and so kind/patient in taking care of our entire large group of 19 people. The buffet selections and made-to-order omelettes met the needs of our party perfectly as well! Thank you again and we will highly recommend and use Vinology again for any regular dining and private event needs!“
