We went to the AA Chop House for our 25th wedding anniversary. Alex was our server and he was…read moreamazing. A total delight and super friendly. A cheese popover was complimentary, one for each of us. Very cheesy, hot from the oven. We also shared the crab cake appetizer. It comes with two crab cakes. Has flash fried leeks and a roasted pepper sauce. Big chunks of crab. Yummy. For entrees I got the 8 ounce fillet mignon with a Cabernet deli glacé, and the cheddar au gratin potato side. My husband got the scallops with a garlic mashed potato side and a grilled asparagus side. The fillet was absolutely delicious. So so tender and flavorful. Didn't really need the glacé, which was also delicious. The cheddar gratin potatoes were just ok. Not a lot of flavor, but it was HUGE. Could easily have been shared by 3 adults no problem. However, I would skip this side. My husband enjoyed his scallops, but there were only six. He's a big guy so luckily his one pound of garlic mashed potatoes, which were better than the gratin potatoes, and grilled asparagus helped to fill him up. The sides are massive, so order with the intent to share, unless you like taking home leftovers. I also had the Baking in Basil mocktail. It was terrific. Basil, blueberry syrup, simple syrup, lime ginger beer. Very refreshing. Husband drank water. Total bill was $300 plus tip. Only for 25th Anniversary. I just can't justify that price for a normal Saturday night out. We more than likely won't be back, but it was a nice one time experience.

This restaurant has a special place in the heart of Ann Arborites. This is where I went to dinner…read morewith my husband just after he proposed and had lunches with my dad when I was younger. The dining room is still like stepping back in time. Nothing has changed. really. nothing. Our visits have slowed in the last couple years due to the poor experiences we've had, but this last one was the final straw. I am done with Knight's Steak House and the attitudes from the servers. The food isn't good enough nor is there value enough to put up with that level of (lack of) service. I booked a reservation for 6 on a Monday night at 7pm to celebrate a birthday. From the start, the server was short and took WAY too long to come around just for drinks. (25 mins) She had an attitude and before our people were even there, I had a feeling we should leave. I didn't want our son's birthday to be spoiled by this server, but too late. After waiting 25 mins to PUT IN a drink order, we got drinks after appetizers were gone. When she finally brought the drinks, did she stick around to take our order when we asked her to take our orders. We had a kid in our party and it was already near 8pm. IDK what her hold up was or why she was so unavailable to a party of 6 but that was ridiculous. We are pretty easy and very forgiving but throw attitude on top and that ensures we got the message and not a place we would like to go again. The wine selection is crap but the pours are heavy. The dinner salad on special is $13 (with a 6oz steak add on for an additional $15) but was the size a side plate. No reason there could not have been just more lettuce in it. Charge more for a bigger size even. The steak was proper cooked temp but served lukewarm and no flavor. Same for the kid's meal - lukewarm. She was about sleep on the table before the food came out so she didn't eat much anyway. n the upside, they know how to serve a sandwich, on end, so the bread doesn't get soggy and he said the sandwich was good. Our 3 boys had steaks and they didn't complain though they said it could use some flavor. Then I remembered that you have to ORDER flavor. Why didn't the server ASK any of use if we wanted seasoning on our steaks? We aren't a table full of old people. 3 men in their 20s might want some flavor. Horrible experience and getting worse with each visit. $300 bill I hope someone comes in an shapes up this place. That was ridiculous. Crystal was a fantastic server but I heard she is gone when I asked for her section.

This was hands down one of the best dining experiences my family and I have ever had. We came for…read moremy birthday dinner before our visit to the Michigan Theater to see David Sedaris perform. As we were walking to the restaurant, my diabetic mother started feeling her blood sugar drop. By the time we got inside, it had fallen to 44, so we headed to the bar and asked for a Sprite. The bartenders took care of her immediately and refused to take payment. They continued to monitor her, bringing her another glass as soon as she finished one, all while taking care of their many other patrons at the bar. They were kind, attentive, and made her feel truly cared for. Ben was our waiter, and he was also very attentive. He made sure we had everything we needed and checked on us often. The food was so delicious we tipped the kitchen staff twice (I love that this was offered as an option on the menu!). We all sampled bites from each other's orders, and I honestly couldn't tell you who had the best dish because there wasn't a bad bite at the table. My sister even struggled to decide whether to enjoy every bit of her steak there or save some to enjoy the next day. Despite how delicious everything was, we saved room for dessert, and I'm so glad we did. The crème brûlée and the chocolate chip cookie cheesecake were to die for! As we were finishing our meal, we realized we would need to-go boxes, but since we had taken an Uber into Ann Arbor and the theater doesn't allow outside food, we were worried the leftovers would go to waste. Matt, the manager, came to the rescue and said he would be happy to hold our food until after the show. We were so grateful! Ben carefully boxed everything up, and we were off to the show. I cannot commend this business enough on their high-class team. A restaurant is made or broken by the staff they employ, and every single person we encountered went above and beyond in their professionalism, courteousness, and genuine hospitality. We will absolutely be making this a regular spot for our whole family and cannot wait to introduce it to our friends and extended family. Thank you again for a lovely evening!

Definitely my go-to entree. Thai-Style Calamari (5/5): One of THE main reasons I love Pacific Rim so much. This is the best calamari appetizer I've had. Lightly breaded and fresh. The sweet chili sauce is perfect. Thai Peanut Noodles (4/5): The noodles had great texture and the Thai peanut sauce was delicious. The tofu wasn't really crispy and I personally would've loved the option to add some meat. Lamb Dumpling (4/5): Lots of meat in the filling and didn't taste gamy at all. Limited time special. Shrimp Shumai (4/5): Really enjoyed the wonton wrapper. Shrimp flavor came through nicely. Limited time special. House Salad (4/5): Light and fresh. The soy based dressing was sweet, slightly acidic, and not at all overpowering. Warm Chocolate Cake (4/5): Delicious cake with a warm, gooey inside. I personally don't like coconut or chocolate and fruit desserts, but I still enjoyed this a lot. Creme Brulee Tasting (4/5) : Green tea, pumpkin spice, and ginger creme brulees. Loved getting to try a little bit of each flavor (green tea was my favorite). Spiced Caramel Pear (3/5): Not my favorite since I don't generally like cooked fruit. The mascarpone cream and shortbread were good though.

I'm guessing weekends you would want to have reservations, but it was a Tuesday night so we got right in. The hostess sat us and decorated the table to celebrate my birthday- that was so thoughtful and sweet. I like when restaurants are ready for these special events. They have cards that are signed by the staff to give to you also. Andrew was our waiter, very kind and relatable. We ordered 11oz. steak, au gratin potatoes, broccoli, and creamed spinach. The steak was spot on medium. The sides were amazing! I was not able to eat all my food, I expected the sides to be smaller, not a complaint just a little fyi for someone else. My husband had the creamed spinach and said it was really good. As a special bonus they send a Happy Birthday dessert to the table. The whole experience was wonderful. The atmosphere was light, the dining room was very clean, not a single complaint! Thank you for the wonderful dinner and the special hospitality for our celebration.

I love that this locations offer a birthday deal whatever age you are turning is the percentage you get off your entree. Took my sister here for the first time for her birthday and she enjoyed the food. She had the stuffed chicken, which is my personal favorite. I had the filet mignon I had it medium well but it was well, I was kind of annoyed about that because when I order medium its so close to medium rare instead of medium and then medium well is well. I need that happy medium lol But overall great experience. The Caesar salad was good just too much Caesar dressing. The mashed potatoes are always creamy and delicious. The broccoli is okay no seasoning. Overall the staff is nice, the management is great. Any issues I had was corrected right away. The ambiance is beautiful. I will return!!!

I don't mind paying high price for extraordinary food, but that is not what we received. We ordered the calamari, which was still kind of white. the fried green tomatoes looked as though they were fried crispy, golden and brown, but the tomatoes were hard and the sauce that it comes with looked as though it was just painted on with a paintbrush, could've used some more sauce the Korean chicken was tough. So in my opinion, a great place to go just make sure you eat first.

They have two performances 7:00 PM & 8:30 PM. The interior decor is modern with the lounge vibe, kind of what you would expect for a Jazz Club. We were pleasantly greeted by the Hostess when we arrived, checked in and were taken to our table. Our server Julia, promptly greeted us and took our cocktail order. Great craft cocktails! They have a nice diverse menu with many options to choose from. We opted to go for small plates and had the Joey D's Killer Cornbread; sweet potato, with chipotle maple butter. It is served warm of course and it was very, very good. We also ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes, with pimento cheese. They were nicely battered and had great taste and flavor. The pimento cheese was a nice accompaniment. Lastly, we ordered the Apricot-Prosciutto Flatbread with sage-ricotta, burrata and arugula. The only thing we did not care for was the flatbread, it was not browned or crispy like most flatbreads dishes we have had, cooked in a pizza oven. Its consistency was doughy. All the other ingredients on it were good, just not the flatbread itself. The Jazz for the evening was performed by the Noah Hogan Quartet and they were fantastic. Would definitely go see them again. Overall a great experience. Would definitely recommend checking them out. There is a $25 per person cover charge. Reasonable for such a nice club.

The bartenders are not only incredibly talented and knowledgeable, they are friendly, cool, and so interesting! I think every single bartender I talked to over there had these attributes, and some even went above and beyond that too. I know, hard to believe, and the price tag matches. At least they are neither under or overrated? I come here for the bar atmosphere, the impeccable drinks and desserts and sometimes a snack. I prefer to go elsewhere for fresh oysters and dinner.

Super mellow and perfect for a summer night. The staff was young, friendly and attentive and our server was great. Food is mostly tapas and various types of paella, with a solid drink selection including sangria. We tried a little bit of this & that and enjoyed it all. Yes, it's a little pricey, but you feel like you're somewhere worthy of the higher price tag. Great date night joint with a chill vibe. And FYI, the patio is dog-friendly!
