    We had a great experience with Afternoon Delight catering our college grad's celebration brunch. We ordered the beautiful salmon platter, fruit platter and brownies. Everything was delicious and was presented so nicely. And the crackers included with the salmon platter were so tasty. Ordering online was also easy and communication with Kathy was seamless. Thank for a great catering experience!

    Stopped here for brunch on a Sunday morning before hitting the road and so glad we did, best meal of our visit. The wait was about 20mins to make it to the register and put in our order/pay than we were seated. It took another 20mins to get our meal, but definitely worth the wait. I had the Reuben on sourdough and it's the best sandwich I've had all year. Nice amount of beef, sauerkraut and melts cheese. The only thing I added was mustard and *chefs kiss* the next time I'm in Ann Arbor I'll be running back. The rest of my party enjoyed their meal which included various omelets (the veggie was jam packed with greens), black bean quesadilla (which the picky eater in our bunch loved) and a few muffins to go. Great service and an even better breakfast.

    Came for brunch one a weekday and was surprised by their large inside space and menu! It looks smaller from the street. Ira counter ordering but delivery to your table. It was super fast. The outdoor tables were great. Glad we dined outdoors. It was my daughters birthday and so she got a free muffin! The coffee was excellent and we really enjoyed our boules. Will be back!

    Such a cute brunch date (they close pretty early at 3pm), highly recommend their cafe mocha too(not pictured) I knew i had to get the smoked nova salmon eggs benedict - the egg yolk pop was gorgeous of course (lightly salted, yum!) and the potato pancake was so well paired with the salmon- i was bursting by the time i left! The free bread was also top tier, there's just something about bread and butter, toasted perfectly with the right amount of crunch - it's so simple but it works so well! Also the omelette was HUGE, didn't think we could finish, but there was plenty of cheese in it to help it go down

    Don't get me wrong they are amazing but presently they when down in quality. But the muffins are amazing 10/10. The services are amazing!

    The whole spread :D

    WOW! This is the perfect breakfast/brunch spot when you are craving large portions and comfort breakfast food. We ordered three dishes and each was uniquely great. #1: chocolate chip pancake (5/5) This dish puts the cake in pancake. Each bite was incredibly fluffy and filling. The exterior had a nice crisp to it. Chips were wonderfully blended in. This is my favorite pancake in Ann Arbor and I think it's a must-order item to split with the whole table (personally it was too heavy for me to have more than a few bites of). #2: potato pancakes (4.75/5) I ordered this as my main dish and was very nicely surprised. The applesauce was incredible - so sweet and fresh. The pancakes themselves were nice and crisp. The dips complemented them perfectly. They were served warm, not hot, which I didn't love but that's my only complaint. #3: egg and sourdough (5/5) Simple, classic, and fantastically executed. Beware that the bread is served with butter on it -- I probably would've ordered without if I knew this was the case. If you're looking for the perfect breakfast spot, this is your sign! It gives diner vibes and isn't fine dining by any means, but the convenience, portion sizes, and overall experience are unmatched.

    Love the food, salad and fruit bowl are way better than expected! The service was so sweet and spinach was great!

    Service great, food great! We both got the spinach quiche and me loves the fruit bowl and salad bowl.

    My family has been coming here since this place opened in the late 70's. Everything they make is always fresh and made with love. Parking can be a little difficult, especially on the weekends. I would highly suggest getting here early as there can be a wait up to an hour especially during football season or the holidays. But honestly, it's worth the wait! The owners changed the original let the host greet you, wait 30+ minutes and then have a waiter or waitress serve you. Since COVID, it's more of a self-serve concept to cut down on the transmission of interactions between people (safety purposes). When you arrive be sure to read the big menu boards to the right of the entrance, that is where the menu items are located. From there you walk up to the register and order your food. Once you have completed payment, the cashier will give you a number. You can sit anywhere you'd like. A member of the waitstaff will bring you your food. Any additional things you may need such as a refill on coffee or water can be taken care of by asking a member of the waitstaff. Everyone is really nice, polite and super busy! The food is soooo delicious. Every morning they make HOMEMADE bran muffins with flavors such as: Blueberry, Chocolate Chip, Harvest, Peach, and a list of others. Don't forget to try their famous vanilla frozen custard or 'Twist' which is vanilla and whatever flavor of the week they have mixed together. Honestly, what more can you ask for? The pricing is just right, there is an food option for everyone in your family. From vegan to gluten-free, Afternoon Delight continues to be a staple of the Downtown community and I'm so happy that it's still running even after the pandemic. Keep up the great work!!!

This Sunday, my mom invited myself and my siblings to join her for brunch. The ambience was amazing - with lovely natural lighting and gorgeous table settings. The menu makes every dish seem mouthwatering and delicious. When the plates came out, they were gorgeous and the food looked so inviting. Unfortunately, the taste was completely lacking. If you're going to charge the prices they're charging, the flavor should be amazing in every single bite. We sampled four different dishes, and none blew me away. Some, were even borderline "bad." Here's a rundown: mushroom pizza - the description makes it seem like it will be cheesy and full of flavor, but it was very one note duck confit pizza - had three pieces of duck on it and was otherwise covered in hot peppers lemon blueberry pancake - more of a skillet cake - sauce was the best part, otherwise dry on the bottom Raclette burger - $30 which is almost comparable in price to a burger I had at The Four Seasons in Maui. That burger, was worth every penny. This one had absolutely no flavor. The meat tasted like mush - definitely lacked seasoning, and there was not a speck of cheese to be found. If you're going to call a burger a raclette, it should be oozing with cheese. grilled Romaine salad - leaves were bitter and the dressing again, looked delicious, but had no flavor. The flavors did not compliment each other at all - with the pickled grapes, taking away from the dish and contrasting very starkly against the rotten tasting lettuce Brown sugar oat milk latte - really the only thing that delivered both on looks and on flavor. Sadly, not high on my list of places to return. It kind of made me think of Vegas: lots of pomp and glam which momentarily distracts you into thinking you're having the best time of your life. But in retrospect, not very fulfilling.

For background, my boyfriend and I are from Ohio and ate here around the same time last year and have been talking about our experience ever since. My boyfriend suggested we go and get Spencer again for lunch and saw that they do not take reservations online. That is important to this review, that they don't take lunch reservations online. We got to Spencer around 2:06 and it was busy which obviously is no issue at all. When we first talk to a server, she said it would be about a ten, fifteen minute wait. Then a man came over and said about 40 minutes, again no problem at all. The issue is that they don't "do callbacks", so they don't take your number. You are expected to literally wait around the restaurant in order to hold your place, however the man said to just come back within 40 minutes. We were willing to wait, again with it no issue at all as we were expecting to wait anyway. We walked around downtown for about 30 minutes and went back just to check in. The same man said it would take a little longer, 15 minutes but that we were first in line and would be sat first. Again this is no issue, you can't gage on how long people will stay and eat so we were willing to wait. We let him know that we will be waiting outside then so we don't miss our reservation. A couple were actually in the same boat as us waiting outside. Finally, after about another addition 30 minutes a couple left the restaurant so the couple outside with us walked in and we were behind them. The man saw us, apologized and said they were in front of us because they "made a reservation online." Then crossed off their name below us on a sheet of paper. I'm sorry? I checked and you cannot make a reservation until 5 PM. So what in the actual world was that? I wish I was kidding and I know how I sound here but it was so obvious that he let them in before us. At this point we were in a catch 22, leave after waiting for an hour and thirty minutes at this point just to have them come out and look for us or stay for another promised "fifteen minutes". We waited since we did drive 2 hours and 30 minutes specifically for this restaurant. Finally, after almost an hour and forty five minutes we were sat. Almost half the menu was sold out. I just HAVE to laugh at this point. Apologies were said and at this point like what were we supposed to do? We ordered everything that was left, bread, olives, salami with carrots and a celery salad which they had to make a substitute with the salad. Whatever I would've eaten scraps at this point. I had one glass of wine and after all was said is done, they gave us last call. I am still laughing at this point. We ate our small dishes and promptly asked for the check, which was 58 dollars including gratuity. I am not even going to mention the countless people we talked to outside asking us to hurry up and eat fast so they can get in. This review is for no one BUT the management at Spencer. As someone who works in the service industry and understands set backs, you NEED to figure out your reservation system. Either you have one or you don't. Talk to your staff when these things happens so they don't lie to costumers when they accidentally seat someone before them. I loved the food, loved the atmosphere, but my God please figure out the seating and waiting system. I wish you all the very best!

    We love Spencer. It's one of our favorite restaurants in Ann Arbor + we hope it never leaves!…read more The quality of the food is amazing- the service is excellent, and the wine is always delicious.

AMBIANCE = 4 I have read reviews that inside is dated. I am ok with it. The changes going on in Ann Arbor. It is nice to see stability. Be thankful a place weathering city transformation and not closing thier doors. If things get renovated so do the prices. With the price of food... 2. FOOD/DRIINKS = 4 I had Salomon. Other two had White Fish. London Broil. No one had any complaints. Food was well flavored and enjoyed the meal. Beer was Two Hearted on tap. Good. Red wine was house and had robust flavor. 3. SERVICE = 5 Our server was on top of everything. Friendly. Not overbearing. Drinks came in good order as well as food. 4. BATHROOM = 4 Clean and maintained. 5. PRICING = 3 On part for the times we live in. Inflation of the last 4 years created new norms. One area that tends to change is tipping. With wages for michigan getting to $15.00 all that has to play into pricing. So I give cash tips. The whole thing of putting tip pricing on the bill. I think many see it. 1. Brussel sprout appt. $15.00. 2. Meals were $27.00. If you went with steaks things get pricey. But if one follows news the beef herds are being reduced. So days of low cost beef meals are in the past. We just do not eat out as much so when we do it is a treat. 6. OBSERVATION The bar area was full. What I liked for a Thursday night is number of trades people at the bar. Parking is adequate. Not sure what a Friday or Saturday would look like... We were seated at table near bar area. One comment was we would have choose a booth the next time. Noise level in our area was loud. 7.
