    Building is really neat. It's an old bank and they used the vault in the bar area. We made reservations per other reviews that's the way to go. It's a small seating area and big bar. We got cocktails to start. A martini and their old fashioned. Both delicious and well made. Started with oysters and they were delicious. They charge extra for sauce and horseradish. For entrees we got the steak and lobster pasta. 5 star for the lobster pasta. Devoured it. Wish the steak came with a veggie side or frites. Felt like it was missing something. Little pricey meal but it was worth it. Everything was very good.

    Everything from food to service to hospitality. The vibe was welcoming from the start as being new to the area and from a bigger metropolitan area (Detroit) this was a welcome dining experience. I had the Pimento Cheese Spread to start wonderful serving size and texture I went into have the Hokkaido Scallops which did not disappoint as an entree they were smooth and light with a buttery finish. The drinks were well balanced. The atmosphere was inviting for a newcomer and a single female I was delighted to find this gem worth visiting and bringing guests as well as a cool event space

    First time dining here and brought my 13 year old niece for her birthday. It was amazing. We started with the crab dip which was excellent. We both got burgers which were the best burgers we've ever had. Prices were very reasonable for the service and ambiance. We plan to make this her yearly birthday dinner. Couldn't recommend Farnsworth enough!

    The oysters are *real* good.

    Founded by people with DEEP roots in the area's food scene, Farnsworth will have you *completely* rethinking Waterville. With its home inside a century-old bank building that has been lovingly reimagined, it brings approachable luxury to this quaint Riverside community. The small menu emphasizes a clear love and passion for seafood, and the oysters are as fresh and delicious as you could ever hope for. Farnsworth is a great option for a date night, but also just a really cool new experience in a part of NW Ohio I suspect many of you have never explored. Definitely worth checking out.

    The food is delicious, and the presentation, stunning. The server was efficient and attentive. Will definitely patronize this restaurant again.

    We desperately needed a spot like this in the area. Elevated, smaller menu, trendier vibe but still welcoming to all. The food is always fresh, the staff is helpful, and it's a great place to bring friends or just sit at the bar by yourself. Menu staples like the burger or the NOLA shrimp are always good, I love the rotating oysters, and my husband and I agreed they have the best cocktails in town. The menu changes often - some of my recent favorites are the springtime gnocchi, scallops, the caviar and chips app. Thankfully you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Even their little side salad is a favorite of mine! I've made it a habit to come once a week, but if you haven't been before - get there early! Because the food is fresh, sometimes they run out later in the evening.

    Staff is amazing. Food was amazing. And they also donated to a local veteran charity event with a gift card. The place is super cute. We don't eat seafood but the pickled vegetables were on point and the drinks even better!!

    Amazing decor inside, you must call for a reservation because it's very small inside. Staff and drinks are amazing. Yet to get food

    We completely stumbled on this bar as they had only been open for a few weeks…read more They had a fantastic staff that was very pleasant and quick to get our order in. They had an amazing cocktail menu so I ordered the "Kiwi do you live me" drink and it was delicious! We only had a short amount of time before our plans so we didn't get to try and good, but it all looked delicious! We will be coming back to try that food.

    This spot is new. Only reason Im giving 2 stars. Room to grow. 40 minutes to place a brunch order…read morethat has 4 items. Not off to a great start. I called and made reservations. When we arrived the host? Not sure who he was just starts talking about the only seats at the bar. Didn't get a word in edgewise to say hey I have a reservation. We were the only folks sitting at the bar so ok. So back to where I was. 40 minutes later sitting directly at the bar trying to make eye contact and caught a server finally to take our order. Now 4 more folks came n sat at the bar. Somehow their food order got taken and before ours. My man is ticked and about to leave. Ordered a pearmosa which is a woodchuck cider not a mimosa to me. We got a waffle (cold), bacon, grits and the seafood grits. Most were cold. Butter just melted and that's after I heated it up next day. The flavor of the food was good. Just not proper temp, service sucked and the parking sucks. Limited street parking or pay to park lots. Im going to give them some time to grow before trying again. Two words for this black owned establishment. Do better

    Ann Arbor is always such an interesting spot for a night out. During the school year, the streets…read moreare teeming with college kids bouncing around, which of course is what you would expect from a great college town. What I do love about Ann Arbor is that they balance out the drunk haunts of young adults with great restaurants and high end bars for the people looking for more than a pitcher of cheap beer. Rabbit Hole is one of those spots. Down the same little alley way as Circ Bar, this underground bar is tucked away, stone hallways and open up and lead to different openings that provide seating, a dance floor and an amazingly stocked bar. If you like bourbon you will love this spot. Our bartender was fantastic, absolutely worked with me on working out a drink. I know I took a pic of an espresso martini, but my drink was made perfect also. Another nice surprise was that it wasn't some crazy price on the drink (I mean any crazier than other places and quite cheaper than around my home), especially for Ann Arbor. Walking away from the bar is a dance floor, and surrounding it are booths in a separate rooms and tables on a level up from the dance floor. There are also two hallways that lead to more booths and tables in different areas of the bar. As you can imagine this is a huge place. We came on a Friday and it wasn't very busy, but school is out and the weather had just broke so not surprising. I really enjoyed my time and the company I was with, and I would definitely go back.

    Another place actually open later, I needed to come and try…read more Rabbit hole definitely has a unique look. It reminded me of visits through caves I just needed some Stalactites. Definitely a bit confusing to figure out where to go. I wish I had been given some direction. There is seating against the wall throughout the winding halls. There is a dance floor and a couple bars. I loved the look which would definitely bring me back if I had also loved the Cocktails. The drink I ordered was way too sweet. I was underwhelmed. Most of their drinks looked on the sweeter side even the bartender mentioned. For my second I just ordered a glass of bubbly. It was also on the sweeter side but an improvement. For the prices, I really don't want to have to get up, find my way back to the bar to order my drink, then walk back to my seat avoiding the people and trying not to spill.
