Sava's is another great spot in Ann Arbor. I love the design and vibe, modern design with booths, upstairs and downstairs and a very nice bar. Probably would be a spot I stick to drinks and just being social. However, I did have the Calamari a few times and it was pretty good. read more

I came to Sava's for a NYE reservation with friends, and was running early so I stopped at the bar for a drink and snack. Renee, a bartender, was the reason I have been back at a minimum of once a week for the past 3 months. Sava's employees provided a welcoming atmosphere, and great recommendations. The experience is top notch. The seated dinners are amazing and the food is like leaving this country. read more

This was my first time visiting Sava's. Overall, it was a very positive experience. The facility venue was bright, upbeat and inviting. The hosts and waitstaff were friendly and accommodating. The food was also very good with a variety of options. Would definitely come back again. read more

I ordered the sava burger and the half chicken. The sava burger is kinda small and left me wanting more. The half chicken was very delicious and came with a green sauce that really brought out the flavor. I would avoid appetizers they are small and not worth the price. Decor is beautiful for a nice night out would recommend for special events or celebrations read more

Was in Ann Arbor recently and we were plagued by poor waitstaff service. A college town, perhaps staff sense that their patrons are itinerant, thus justifying in their mind that weak table service is a'ight. Feedback: Chicken Fusilli had anemic chicken. Why hold back on the chicken. Service: We waited and wondered if our waitstaff would ever fill our water and drink. Never happened. She was slow and indifferent. Why the resto would employ someone like this belies that things are slipping. Waitstaff represents your resto and no amount of flowery, empowering words on your website regarding the hospitality group's mission will shield you. Bathroom: No towels. Do you know how long a bathroom has to be neglected before all the towels are gone? These are simple fixes with a SOP but this team doesn't care. read more

Quick stop for a few apps when we got into town. The server was super friendly, the food came out quickly, and everything was fresh and flavorful. Really liked the decor. Definitely coming back for the bang bang shrimp! read more

This place was so delicious. I loved Sava's and can't wait to come back. We loved the Mediterranean salmon salad bowl. It was filling and delicious. The bowl was packed with amazing flavor and the service was so incredibly kind. They brought me out my sandwich with chicken even though I didn't order it with chicken and they were fast about fixing the issue. The sandwich was mid but fries were delicious and the mayo/ aioli was nice as well. The restaurant was nice and aesthetically pleasing. I look forward to visiting again soon! I will definitely be ordering the salmon again, it was cooked perfectly! read more

We parked in a structure a few blocks away and walked here. The service was very attentive and even though busy they found a two seater for us. The fries were great, the pesto sandwich was ok but a bit bland. The ambiance was great and bright. Would come back to try something else. read more

I had a great dinner here with friends! The restaurant is very nice with a cool upstairs seating area that overlooks the lower level. Our waitress was very welcoming and helpful with figuring out the menu. Our cocktails were wonderful and refreshing. For dinner we got the burger, the chicken fusilli, and the capellini Marlon. The burger was well seasoned and well cooked. The chicken fusilli was delicious with a great sauce. The capellini marlon came with tons of seafood! Overall had a wonderful time here! read more

My husband took me here with our 3 kids for Mother's Day brunch, and it was lovely! We had a reservation, and they sat us at a spacious upstairs booth quickly upon arrival. The kids' menu had a wide variety of options, and the portion sizes were generous. Our girls loved the provided coloring sheet and crayons. We ordered them breakfast items, and I also got the crème brûlée French toast - delicious! My husband opted for the buffet, which was a great value, with not one option that's wasn't excellent according to him. Attentive service from our waiter was the icing on the cake. We look forward to returning! read more

I love the esthetic of Sava's, it's really a beautiful space, but I don't think I've ever been wowed with the food or service. The prices are quite steep for any of their veg options ($23 for a rice and tempeh bowl is a no thank you for me). If you're going for the happy hour or just a drink it's not a bad option, but it's basically just a pretty esthetic for the 'gram. read more

Top notch! Great food .. bang bang shrimp and the filet. 5 star service from Nina. Always had a new Manhattan when I wanted one. read more

Note to self - eat here for a good lunch/brunch, avoid this place for dinner. The lunches are reasonably priced and appropriately portioned. Dinners not so much... read more

Started with hummus grilled pita and olives and a margarita at the bar. Moved to a table with friends where we ordered the Greek Sava Salad, Hippie Bowl, Fish & Chips, and a few sides of veggies. The bartender kept the margaritas coming and our server was graciously accommodating as we were the last customers of the evening. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Went for the brunch buffet today (Sundays, $28 pp) and was a bit underwhelmed. Food quality was definitely lacking. For bites they had charcuterie and cheese, shrimp cocktail, deviled eggs, and more. Mains were mostly standard brunch fare with the addition of a couple of dishes. Short ribs with polenta were decent. The other food was hotel breakfast quality at best. They had smoked salmon but no bagels? The only bread were two types of lame toast. Desserts were also extremely underwhelming, some Sysco danishes and dry ass coffee cake. Service was nearly nonexistent at the bar. I tipped more than I should have considering it was buffet service. read more

I came here for dinner this past weekend, and I loved everything. Our server, Izzy, was amazing; she was very knowledgeable and helpful, plus the manager was fantastic at noticing when we were served the wrong food and fixed it within seconds! The restaurant was interesting as people dressed nicely versus very casually, like a girl sitting next to us who had her food from Starbucks. I got the lobster shrimp pasta dish, and it was delicious. I need more! We also loved the shoestring fries with garlic aioli! read more

Arrived at 10am on Sunday without a reservation. We had a party of 6 and were seated promptly with the understanding we had to give up our table in one hour for a reservation. No problem. I wish I had our server's name, but she was excellent. The huevos rancheros with chorizo were outstanding. Not from the area, but would plan a trip back for them alone! read more

Sava's - Sava's Mac 'n Cheese Spinach & Artichoke Dip - Bars Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Sava's has potential but misses the mark in several areas. The menu is too small, the service was slow despite our time restraint, and the overall vibe feels like it's trying too hard to be fancy rather than embracing the small-town charm it should have. The tiny water cups were unnecessary, and no calories were listed on the menu. That said, the seating--especially on the second floor--was nice. As for the food, the bang bang shrimp had a good sweet-savory balance but lacked flavor, the breakfast Reuben was excellent despite soggy bread (8.5/10, O'Malley approved), the burger was solid (8/10), and the chicken and waffle was dry and needed syrup (7/10). The standout was the hash brown--perfect, 10/10, O'Malley approved. Overall, it's decent, but improvements are needed. read more

Pretty inside and warm. Food was excellent. My husband and I shared the bang bang shrimp, Greek salad with their house made dressing and the burger with deliciously crispy shoe string fries. The cocktails on their cocktail menu were good as well. Took one star off because the manhattans my family ordered def didn't taste like a Manhattan and my sister in law ordered the vodka cocktail x2. The first one was good but she said the 2nd one didn't taste like the first and she wasn't even sure if there was any alcohol in the second one. read more

A friend and I stopped in at Sava's for lunch today. We had a great time! He had a vegetarian panini, I had a large Greek salad (with diced cucumbers, cooked chickpeas, red beet cubes, pickled onions - and delicious flat bread). The service was great. Many happy families surrounded us. We had a good time. read more

Sava's has always had a special place in my heart. The food is always creative and usually wonderfully done and this most recent visit was no exception. My sister and I took our mom for the first time and had a nice early dinner. The atmosphere is pretty calm for how busy it always is, and the service is exceptional. We got the fish and chips, capellini marlon, and the honey chili crisp salmon. All the food tasted wonderful and went over really well, other than the salmon. The fish was well cooked but the broccolini only came with 2 stems and the dish as a whole was $30. I've noticed, at Sava's, that sometime a veggie on the menu will turn out to be a comedically small portion. Overall a good dinner, but we did share our entrees with my mom so she wasn't hungry after the fact. read more

Food was good, a bit pricey. I got the pulled pork sandwich. It was so good and it came with fries and garlic aioli sauce. That sauce was the star of the meal.

Sunday night supper meet up after UM SMTD activities. Not a packed crowd, that was nice. Salmon on rice was very very good. Small portion but it was good. We also had the sweet potato fries, olives, Mac and cheese and the pasta salad. All were good. Nothing was amazing but all were solid choices. Environment was good. Music was good and playing at a volume where we could sit and talk without yelling. Service was awesome. read more

My husband and I dined here for the first time on a March date night. The food was very good. He has the braised lamb shank, and I the capellini Marlon. Most notable was the service. We had ordered the Mediterranean olives as an appetizer, but they came with our main courses, instead. No worries--they were amazing!!--but the manager personally apologized for their late delivery to our table and provided us with a dessert, as well. The tres leches cake was out of this world. Great wine list, great service, quality food, and fabulous house-made olives and dessert. read more

I've come here a few times since graduating and have felt the menu has gone downhill each time. It's gotten more minimalistic and pretentious (pickled everything! So many pickled foods). My favorite foods are all gone. Tomato bisque and bacon brie burger. I get they have to revise to keep seasonal, but please consider bringing these back as they were so delicious. Pros: Service was perfect and the place is still cool looking. Old fashioned was still great, and my choice of dinner at least was pretty good, the spaghetti. Just a small portion. Fries were nice read more

Service was very good and a great vibe in here. We just came on a Sunday for a chill later afternoon meal. I'm going to have to come back in the evening for the full experience as we weren't too hungry so I just ordered fish and chips and was not impressed. The menu looks great so I want to come back and give it a full try, will update this after round 2! read more

Back again, great ambience and service with a smile. Bang Bang shrimp: shrimp was great the sweet rice a tad hard, four stars. Lamb burger looked awesome, ordered medium rare, wow rare. I hope I don't get sick. They quickly brought a okay tasting well done burger. read more

AMBIENCE Visited Sava's for an early brunch and was promptly seated in the cozy teal sectional along the window just beyond the bar. It's pretty quiet and has the appropriate level of music for more intimate conversations if needed. SERVICE When we sat down, we were immediately greeted with menus and coffee and other drink orders were taken. Our server was attentive and ensured we had refills every so often. FOOD Menu changes every so often but was surprised by intriguing twist on various sweet and savory options (e.g. Turkish eggs, labneh and granola, bang bang shrimp). I was in the mood for classics, so I ordered an eggs benedict with a side of berries instead of the fries, and it was as solid as it gets. Got what I asked for and had no complaints. PRICE A little pricier than most breakfast diner spots in town if you're just looking for a no frills spot, but the service, decor, ambience, and menu ingredients make up for the extra premium you pay for. I can see it as being good spot for a date night, for celebrating a nice event, and for students to take their parents for a nice weekend brunch or lunch. read more

Went to dinner before a great show at Hill Hall. Our waitress explained the menu in so much detail and told us her favorites. Based on her recommendation we all ordered the capellini marlon. (Saffron butter sauce with shrimp and lobster over angel hair pasta.) We also ordered the hummus and Brussel sprouts as starters. Everything was delicious! Service was exceptional and the ambience is beautiful. I wish I spent more time in Ann Arbor because this would definitely be on my list to visit. read more
