    This cozy little place on Main Street is a great place to get a drink with or without alcohol with friends and family. The servers are attentive and accommodating in this welcoming gathering place.

    glass of ice

    drinks are eh, but that ice is amazing! I don't really drink, however the ice is great :). along with the cream from the cold brew martini!

    Cider and espresso martini

    This place is such a good find with a great atmosphere and awesome drinks! The food looks great as well. Prices are super reasonable too. The staff are incredibly kind, especially the owner. My family and I have great memories of the Peaceable Kingdom with the trinkets and stickers and this is really fun to see it have a new life! Will definitely be returning and highly recommend.

    gin and tonic, smoke & bitters, and warm bread bites!

Harry Potter was playing on the TV while we were there. It's very clean and comfortable. Our bartender was friendly and made tasty drinks. Definitely ask to see the seasonal menu because they have some cool combinations that I would definitely want to come back to try! Be ready to spend a bit more, but I think you get your moneys worth with presentation and experience!

    1824 Cocktails & Coffee is an interesting spot to meet up with friends to grab a drink! I can only…read morespeak for the cocktails portion of the joint, but I'll say that I'm definitely interested in stopping back in to try out some coffee! I stopped in with a group on a weeknight recently, and even on a cold December night, we found that there was a small crowd inside, with groups of all sizes grabbing drinks and catching up. The inside of the establishment is a mix of super high ceilings and surpisingly limited seats. There are a fair amount of tables and bar seating as well, but just less than you'd expect by looking at it from the outside! There are a ton of TVs inside, so I could imagine this would be a good place to watch sports -- while we were there, they were playing a Lord of the Rings movie and we heard from the bartender that they often have movies of such high caliber playing! Now onto the important part - the cocktails! We tried a couple of cocktails from their menu and found that though they tasted good, they felt somewhat lacking in alcohol... either the bartender did an amazing job with the mix, or they were light pours. I will say I got an old fashioned after that, and the old fashioned was excellent! Handmade, not pre-mixed, and both the flavor and presentation were excellent. Overall, I'd say we had a pretty solid experience - I'll be back to try out some more drinks for sure (both cocktails and coffee!)

    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.

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.

Upon our initial seating we were set in at a table that had us way too close to those at the next table. It was a little uncomfortable to say that we were not together. We did ask to be moved and then sat a table in the middle of the dining room which was definitely better. My dining companion and I enjoyed our meals and were both pleasantly surprised about the quality and taste from a hotel restaurant. Our server was very kind and attentive. I would certainly dine here again. However, due to the size and layout of the dining room, I personally would want to visit on a day that was lower traffic.

Boozy, and balanced. Bartender went a little above and beyond helping me pick out an aperitif for dessert with an extra sample. For food, I tried: - Hamachi Crudo. Light, delicately flavored, bit of a kick! Very nice presentation. I would get this again. - Artichoke Frites. Fried with a lemon truffle dipping sauce. Good concept, could've been crispier! The heart pieces were the best, of course. - Steak Frites. This was good! Not necessarily extraordinary, but priced reasonably (for the area) as well. - Crème Brulee. Fabulous! Not tooo sweet. Location is not the most convenient for pulling La Serre into a regular rotation. They do have valet parking as an option. For anyone already staying at the hotel, this is a must try while there!

I felt like the portion wasn't super big for bread that was not complimentary, but it was so good. Very light and the honey butter was excellent. The soup was also nice, i liked that it was chicken meatballs. We got all 3 of the d&l chicken. They were able to do a substitution for my mom with some garlic and that was very appreciated. My one note is that i would have liked a noodle base for my chicken, it needed something for all of the very strong sauce, something to soak it up if you will. They also have an inciardi print machine which is an added bonus! Overall it is a good place to be for a nicer than average meal. Still casual enough but can be fancy too.

I had the carbonara on my first night going there and I wasn't a fan of it probably because they use tagliatelle. Didn't taste authentic like what I've had in Italy.

The tiramisu looks amazing though.

The servers are not very friendly, helpful or welcoming. Service is very slow even on slow nights. No one seems to care either. Given the exceptional service at other restaurants it is a deterrent for returning. Drinks are reasonably priced and a good selection. For being scratch made they are not able to accommodate allergies well. Most things are marinated or prepped ahead. Besides Sushi or ordering plain noodles there isn't much I could order. My husband did enjoy the Burger and would order it again. I just wish there was more I could eat. For the Sushi its not anything outstanding. The flavor of the Crab Salad isn't our favorite. The Black Pearl Roll unfortunately, is not worth the pricing. $25 for a roll with mostly cucumber. It's also not very consistent in sizing. Once it was so large I could barely fit it in my mouth and the other times very small. If you plan to charge $25 for a Sushi Roll it should contain a good amount of Sushi. I can go across the street and get amazing Tuna Tartare for under $15 with plenty of Tuna.

The weather has been lovely for late September, so we sat on the patio which I thought was the better move since honestly the interior smelled like fried food. We ordered: *Coconut Shrimp (GF) Black tiger prawns, coconut, tempura batter, honey-lime chipotle sauce - big tasty pieces of prawn that were really nicely fried! I didn't care for the honey-lime chipotle sauce...I honestly wanted the chipotle mayo from the fish tacos instead but solid starter! *Spicy Tuna Roll (Spicy tuna salad, jalapeno, sriracha) - I was pleasantly surprised by this. First of all, there were large pieces of tuna which tells me it's better quality rather than scraps just mushed and minced up. Also, the sushi rice was legit - the right texture, the right amount of sushi vinegar. If I were more hungry, I'd probably have ordered the California roll or shrimp tempura (since the coconut shrimp was so well fried!) *Salmon Tikka Masala (Pan-seared Atlantic salmon topped with yogurt compressed cucumber and Fresno, couscous, roasted broccolini, sweet potatoes, garlic sauce. Served with grilled lime and toasted pita) - I enjoyed the flavors and texture on this one! I would've preferred more of a medium salmon as this was a little more well done than flaky BUT still good. The compressed cucumber, the cous cous - all awesome. I had left overs and ate it the next day. *Fish Tacos GF (Tortilla encrusted tilapia, cumin salt, chipotle mayo, spicy cabbage slaw, pico de gallo, lime) - this is apparently THE dish to get here. It's an OG menu item. I will admit that I kind of pupu'ed it since it is tilapia but my husband ordered it and I was really surprised by it! They cut their tilapia a bit differently and it's really well fried (just like the coconut shrimp). The bar was pretty backed up at some points (pretty expansive bar seating) so cocktails took a while. Make your reservation via RESY! It was super busy on a Friday night.

However, I made a grave mistake of ordering on the QR code/Toast rather than at the bar. I say grave because fellow bourbon whisky enthusiasts will cringe -- I was pretty stoked to see that they had Basil Hayden Toasted. So, I ordered it but also selected "add water" with the anticipation that it would be like a dropper of water. Nope, they made a cocktail out of my 2oz pour of Basil Hayden. Whiskey water. At that point, it could've been Makers Mark or Jack and I wouldn't have known the difference. User error though so I did make sure I still tipped accordingly and NOW I know. I'll be back though.
