    Expresso Martini.
    Michael R.

    We have been wanting to check out the new Vanguard Hotel and La Serra restaurant in Ann Arbor since it opened. Finally had the opportunity yesterday. The Hotel is beautiful as for the lobby, the appointments and decor. La Serre is accessible directly off the lobby. We only had an appetizer and a craft cocktail but were very pleased with both. Our servers were friendly and attentive. My wife and I both had an Expresso martini, and must say they were well crafted with a creamy richness. For the app: we had the Gougeres; with garlic butter, fine grated Parmesan And sprinkled with herbs. The batter was light, crispy and had good flavor, and the garlic butter was exceptionally nice. They have a pretty extensive menu of apps and entrees, so we will definitely be going back for dinner. Worth checking out if in town. (Parking can be interesting in that area. They offer Valet for a reduced amount if your dining at La Serre. We also noticed they also have a few outside tables overlooking Glen St.

    Menu limited though dishes were amazing. The coffee menu could offer more though food was great! Ambiance and service were also great!

    I was staying in the hotel for a work event and decided to dine at La Serra along with my co-worker. The menu is small but thoughtfully crafted. The dining room is relatively small. 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.

    Located in the Vanguard Hotel. I've eaten at this restaurant several different times and enjoyed every meal. For breakfast, I had the croissant french toast with chantilly cream and fresh fruit on top. The cream had a hint of lemon. For lunch, I had the french onion soup and pommes frites. The soup was yummy - it had a little sweetness. I always love shoestring fries, but the rosemary and herbs that they were tossed in were delish! For dinner, I had the braised beef short rib. This is my favorite thing on the menu. The beef was so tender and flavorful. I really liked the demi-glaze, but the crispy onions is the star element of the dish!

    This new spot is located inside the Vanguard. It's a nice little vibe outside the traditional A2 spot and it's nice that places like this are popping up for the more "adult" crowd. The valet was super nice. That's just an aside. They were trying to accommodate a large party and it was hard to get a reservation, but we managed and we didn't find wait time for our food and drink to be negatively impacted. The cocktail I had was delicious as was the house butter. Our meat and fish were cooked very well and the fried artichokes were an unexpected hit. I'd go back for sure.

    Lobster linguini. A whole lobster on top of fresh pasta.  The vodka sauce was on the sweet side but it was DELICIOUS! highly recommended

    This French fusion restaurant is a gem in Ann Arbor. Beautiful ambiance, excellent foods, great cocktails and wine list and a very knowledgeable service. The prices are reasonable for this level of quality and service.

    . The service provided was excellent and the food presentation was truly delightful. The seating was a bit tight, it almost felt like the tables were too close together.

    The best bartenders are the kind who make you feel so welcome that you end up eating more than you planned, trying drinks you never expected, and choosing to return rather than explore somewhere new in the city you're visiting. Chris is exactly that kind of bartender. I was in town for work and decided to visit after seeing the appealing menu online. Instead of taking my assigned table, I opted to sit at the bar--a decision I'm so glad I made. From start to finish, every recommendation Chris made was spot on. He started me with the Hamachi Crudo appetizer, described the truffle butter served with the Gougères in a way that made it irresistible, and curated excellent cocktail and wine pairings to match my food choices. Throughout the evening, I watched him interact with multiple guests, and without exception, he was warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable. This kind of service is what turns a good meal into a memorable dining experience. I'll absolutely be back(tonight)! *duplicating my OpenTable review here because I loved it so much

    French onion soup

    La Serre is the restaurant inside the Vanguard hotel. Very popular with locals and definitely not just got the hotel stayers. The food was expertly prepared and delicious. We started with the asparagus and Brussels sprouts. The asparagus wasn't too salty like some places. The sauce it came in was awesome. The Brussels sprouts came with little chunks of bacon and were mouth watering. For dinner, myself and my companions ordered: - Caesar salad and French onion soup - Steak Frites (x2) - Salmon Everyone liked what they ordered. The French onion soup was great - crisp and cheesy topping. The only dish I wouldn't recommend was the Caesar salad which was very fresh but the dressing was plain and didn't taste like a Caesar. The service was excellent. Key was the best server we've had anywhere. She even exchanged all plates and silverware between appetizers and dinner. The staff was accommodating too because we arrived 10 minutes believe closing at 10pm and they didn't bat an eyelash.

    I had the best experience sitting at the bar! Chris & Logan immediately took care of me and were attentive the entire night. Chris asked what brought me in, and when I told him I was celebrating my birthday he immediately poured me a glass of his favorite sparkling wine. This was such a thoughtful gesture and it made me feel very appreciated! The steak frites were delicious, some of the best steak I've had in Ann Arbor. Everything was 10/10 from start to finish & I will absolutely be back to sit at the bar!!

    We had a great time at La Serre. The restaurant was busy and buzzing! The service was attentive and prompt. We started with the cheese board which had a nice selection including a sage infused cheddar. We split the beet salad which was refreshing. Our main plates were well prepared and tasty. The restaurant had a bit of a feel of a hotel restaurant -- which it was -- but it was still delicious. Wine selection was good.

    Lobster pasta
    Natalie N.

    La Serre in Ann Arbor is definitely worth checking out. The lobster pasta was absolutely amazing--rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. It's the kind of dish you'll keep thinking about long after the meal. The steak frites was also amazing and worth tasting!

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.

We arrived at 615 and we ordered the crab dip which while it had great flavor, I did not find a chunk of crab in it.

Our salad didn't come out prior to the entrees and when I asked about it after 30min, I was told it would come out with everything. Our food didn't come out until 745 and while the salad was delicious. The 4 scallops were good but the potatoes were coagulated like it had been sitting there for quite some time and then it was $60!! A third of the check and I could only eat the scallops and snow peas. Our waitress was also aloof the whole time and barely came to check on us. She didn't ask how the food was or anything. I shared my opinion on the potatoes and nothing was done with the check or a discount. The outdoor patio was nice, But I don't think I would go back...
