    Came back to try one of the fall drinks- 10/10! Not too sweet and the pumpkin foam was perfect- my only complaint would be that I needed to have a little bit more of it!

    Birthday Toast
    Jessica L.

    I think going to Dixboro for my birthday is going to be my new tradition! The staff took such great care of me and even went as far as to get me a welcome toast. I like that their menu is seasonal and changes every few months. The menu from when I first went is different from this last time, and it made the experience so much more exciting and enjoyable. I also feel like I can look forward to coming back and seeing if the same menu items are there because they're so tasty. The Grilled Octopus was to die for. Classy and delicious at the same time!

    Usually here for their brown sugar latte, but my new favorite here is their cereal milk latte!

    Fruit salad with sour honey

    Drove by the DP all the time and finally decided to make reservations for brunch. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous and a bit breathtaking. We were seated in the room, farthest to the main entrance, and could see the lake from our table. Service from the moment we walked in, till we walked out, was outstanding. We ordered a ham and cheese croissant, duck hash, side of fruit and cappuccinos. Everything was delicious but the dish that blew me away was the duck hash. It was like an explosion of flavors! Can't wait to go back to try other dishes. This is a great place for brunch and date nights!

    I LOVE the aesthetic and rustic vibe of this place. The Dixboro Project really did amazing job restoring the century-old barn while keeping certain elements from the original structure, such as the exposed 140-year-old timbers, gambrel vaulted ceiling, and original stone fireplace. The menu is simple but tasteful. The wood-fired pizzas and bakery items are SO delicious, you'll want to take some to-go for the next day! They feature Roos Roast coffee and make yummy adult beverages at their bar too. They also have The Boro, a side door all-day cafe for takeout.

    The Boro-eo cookie :)

    My new favorite place in Ann Arbor The margarita pizza was 5/5 and the chili oil was so good with it. The mushroom sandwich was so flavorful 5/5. Cold Brew was strong and woke me up lickety-split 5/5 forgot to ask which coffee they use. The Boro-eo cookie was delicious. Service 5/5 everyone just seems genuinely happy working there. Really made you feel welcomed. Ambiance 5/5 near a creek and plenty of trees surrounding. The layout is very nicely spaced. The table to table spacing is on point. I love this place :)

    The service was excellent, the food tasted great, but the prices were a bit steep. My side salad was $17 we especially enjoyed the peach cobbler dessert.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a long time and finally got around to it. They have a large deck with umbrellas and heaters plus a more remote area with picnic tables. We ordered coffee and pastries at the small area with the To Go sign. There's only room for about 3 people in this area so they offered to bring my latte to my car if I was parked in a numbered parking spot along the building or they would give me a number and I could wait at a table on the deck. We got an almond croissant and a chocolate croissant and they were both very good and HUGE. It was a bit slow for us to get our drinks (a latte and a hot chocolate) but they do use Roos Roast coffee in their cafe drinks so they were good. Others in our party got a margarita pizza that was a bit slow to arrive but looked and smelled great. They have an accessible ramp near the handicapped parking space. Unfortunately, they have a hay bale and pumpkins blocking the last part of the ramp so it really isn't accessible to people using walkers and wheel chairs.

    Chili oil that comes with mushroom pizza
    Grace K.

    This is my favorite pizza place! I've been hooked on their mushroom pizza ever since the first bite. I love the thin, slightly charred crust, slightly sweet cheese and cream sauce, and savory mushroom and mushroom topping. This pizza also comes with chili oil on the side to sprinkle over your slice and give it a little kick! I didn't realize this till after a few visits, but there are actually three 'restaurants' in this location. The Dixboro Project is specifically for their tasting menu, the Boro is a little more casual, you can order things like pizza, steak, pasta, etc., and there's a pick up spot where you can quickly pick up delicious pastries (made by a Michelin star chef!), coffee drinks, and takeout orders. You can't go wrong with any of their pastries. My favorite is the nutter butter sandwich and almond croissant. Their drinks are also fantastic. During my last visit, I ordered the grapefruit spritz mock tail which was delicious and refreshing! The location is so gorgeous. It feels like a green retreat space outside the hustle bustle of Ann Arbor. The patio is beautiful and overlooking hammocks and a small dock next to a stream behind the building. I appreciated the picnic tables strewn around for those who want to eat their pastries or takeout outside in a quieter location and don't necessarily need service. Love this place. Will be back and bringing friends/family!

From the gardens to the land with a creek flowing though it -- to the beautiful building and pleasing decor inside and a porch with tables around much of it. So impressed. The menu, our server explained, is changed out quarterly and this is the new summer one. So many unique small and large plates (but when he described them, they were way more intricate and enticing than the menu even showed). He was attentive and helped guide our choices. We ordered the eggplant small plate to share, then the mushroom pizza (so much tastier than the description would indicate), and the wild boar brat with cherry and peach accents. Everything was delicious. I also got an iced latte with the house made mocha and it was better than alcohol, if you're a coffee lover anyway. 100% plan to come back! And likely soon. This is up there with how I feel about Sylvan Table, which is a huge compliment to Dixboro Project!

This Sunday, my mom invited myself and my siblings to join her for brunch. The ambience was amazing - with lovely natural lighting and gorgeous table settings. The menu makes every dish seem mouthwatering and delicious. When the plates came out, they were gorgeous and the food looked so inviting. Unfortunately, the taste was completely lacking. If you're going to charge the prices they're charging, the flavor should be amazing in every single bite. We sampled four different dishes, and none blew me away. Some, were even borderline "bad." Here's a rundown: mushroom pizza - the description makes it seem like it will be cheesy and full of flavor, but it was very one note duck confit pizza - had three pieces of duck on it and was otherwise covered in hot peppers lemon blueberry pancake - more of a skillet cake - sauce was the best part, otherwise dry on the bottom Raclette burger - $30 which is almost comparable in price to a burger I had at The Four Seasons in Maui. That burger, was worth every penny. This one had absolutely no flavor. The meat tasted like mush - definitely lacked seasoning, and there was not a speck of cheese to be found. If you're going to call a burger a raclette, it should be oozing with cheese. grilled Romaine salad - leaves were bitter and the dressing again, looked delicious, but had no flavor. The flavors did not compliment each other at all - with the pickled grapes, taking away from the dish and contrasting very starkly against the rotten tasting lettuce Brown sugar oat milk latte - really the only thing that delivered both on looks and on flavor. Sadly, not high on my list of places to return. It kind of made me think of Vegas: lots of pomp and glam which momentarily distracts you into thinking you're having the best time of your life. But in retrospect, not very fulfilling.

My…read morefriends and I arrived 10 min before they opened for brunch and there was no wait, though the restaurant filled up quickly behind us. The space is rustic and simple, with fresh cut flowers on the tables. A majority of the walls were occupied by floor to ceiling racks of wine, as that is their award-winning product. Their brunch menu changes weekly and is extremely tight and cohesive. My party ordered the entire food menu sans olives (2/3rds of us don't like them), and two plates of the potato pelmeni. My thoughts below: Amaro Apertivo: mocktail based on the namesake dessert wine. This tasted like candy but not too sweet, and we enjoyed it a lot. Lovage soda: Google told me that lovage is an herb that tastes like citrus and celery. I am a huge fan of drinks with a twist, and I'd say that celery is a pretty big one! Crisp and not too sweet, the citrus flavor definitely balanced the Celery, and both flavors kept the soda fresh and crisp. This was great paired with the rest of the herbaceous menu and balanced out the richness of some later dishes, though it's not necessarily something I would enjoy by itself without appropriate accompaniment. Pickled egg, fried shallot, dill: I had only heard of pickled eggs in the context of strange British food on YouTube, so I was a little hesitant about this dish. The concept of an egg floating in vinegar brine is a bit off-putting, but once I powered through that mental roadblock, I found myself enjoying this bite. The egg is perfectly cooked with a slightly jammy yolk, and the shallots added a much needed crunch. Dill enhanced the pickled taste while cutting through the richness of the fried shallots and yolk. Sourdough focaccia, whipped butter: Never in my life have I ever made focaccia this tall. This focaccia was raised by a loving family and nurtured to develop a golden, non-greasy, crisp crust protecting its tender, pillowy innards. The classic sourdough tang is a novel addition to each bite, and cuts through the creamy, whipped butter to keep me wanting more. I could eat a whole pan of this alone, but we had many more plates to sample. Saucisson sec salami, pickled carrot: This is a simple, charming, carb-free mini charcuterie; place a slice of salami, some of the mozzarella (next dish on this list, below), and its oil atop a pickled carrot base, and you are in for a perfectly balanced treat. My favorite part of this dish is the fact that the salami was incredibly savory, and not too salty. The more you chew it, the more the flavors express themselves, so be sure to chew slowly and thoroughly! The crunch of the crisp, dill-pickled carrot and the soft chewiness of the mozzarella give each bite a lot of good contrast. Mozzarella, green garlic oil: Fresh, hand-stretched mozzarella is something that even I, a notorious cheese-hater, can't say no to. It is not sharp or funky at all, nor is it too salty. Most of the flavor comes from the green garlic and olive oil smothering each bite. Fresh and floral with a little bite, this was delicious with the salami and carrot above. Potato pelmeni, asparagus green adjika, sour cream: Given the portion size of the previous dishes (small, tapas vibes), we were not expecting the platter full of double carb heaven that met our eyes. And we ordered two!!! This is a gorgeous dish with plump, quarter-sized pelmeni nestled in a vibrant green asparagus and herb sauce with a dollop of sour cream on top. This was a classic comfort dish with a verdant twist! The pelmeni were stuffed full of creamy potato, and the dough was cooked perfectly al dente for a satisfying, pillowy bite. The sauce was homey but packed with zippy flavor and tender asparagus. The major feedback I have for this dish is that it was way too salty, to the point where the flavor was a tad too sharp because of it. Lettuces, radish, pumpkin seed, caraway vinaigrette: It was through this dish that I found out what caraway tastes like and through this dish that I figured out that I'm not a caraway fan. The lettuces were bitter and when combined with the slightly medicinal caraway taste, wasn't for me. The crunch of the radish and the nutty pumpkin seeds were great in this dish though! Fennel cornmeal biscotti, rhubarb compote, cream: This was a single biscotti with generous dollops of compote and cream. We were quite full when this dish was set in front of us, so I was frankly relieved for the small portion size. The fennel in the biscotti paired wonderfully with the tart rhubarb, and the rich cream rounded things out nicely without tipping into cloying territory. The savory cornmeal complimented the fennel and provided additional depth of flavor. A great small bite to end on! Overall, Spencer's strong fundamentals allow them to take risks with in-season local produce. Some things worked for me and some didn't, but I would love to come back to see what they can create next!

I readily admit to being a tough reviewer - very few places earn a 5. Allow me to share some of the reasons: Service was stellar. The staffers were professional and friendly. They quickly brought out each course and cleared the table efficiently. They were tireless in answering my many questions about the ingredients. I prefer tasting menus. For me, after the first few bites, my taste buds get fatigued. The six-course tasting menu, with its complex flavors and textures, kept me interested throughout the meal. The dining room was spacious and well-appointed, without being stuffy and overwhelming. I loved the table groupings and comfy seats, whimsical wall coverings, oversized lighting, and wall of windows. I believe the tasting menu changes; I had: - A bite of brick dough (I had to look it up) pastry, served with a tart, faintly bitter rhubarb soda for a palate cleanser. - The Kanpachi crudo arrived with smoky fanfare. It was served with agua fresca and droplets of chili oil, topped with watermelon radish. I loved the fatty, slippery fish paired with the acidic, fresh, and spicy liquid. - My favorite course was the wood-roasted maitake mushroom in a shoyu glaze, topped with shallots, with a red pepper sauce. I wouldn't have minded a main entrée of these savory, meaty mushrooms. - Next up was the sesame seed-encrusted shrimp toast on Japanese milk bread. It was served with lobster bisque and tiny lobster tail skewers. I am very familiar with deep-fried shrimp toast, a dim sum staple, and loved the novelty of black and white sesame seeds. The bisque was rich and flavorful, while the lobster tail was sweet and delicious. It was such a variety of flavors on one plate. - I never had Cappelletti before and enjoyed the pasta stuffed with a manchego-ricotta mix. It was served with more mushrooms (yay!), buttermilk froth, and fried shallots. - The restaurant considered the Wagyu bavette the star of the tasting menu. While I liked the tender beef, peppercorn demi-glace, potato croquettes, and creme fraiche topped with bacon, I still preferred the mushroom course. - The grapefruit granita and compressed grapefruit were another nice palate cleanser. - The dessert was as beautiful as it was creative. Sunchoke ice cream and crispy sunchoke straws enhanced the chocolate hazelnut flavors. I only wish a duck course was available on the day of my visit. It was offered a few weeks earlier.

Mostly that it's a bit overpriced for the portions. They do have vegetarian options but not a lot. It's one of those cases where you can pay $20 for a plate of vegetables and expect that to be a full mean but if you eat meat or fish you're getting something a bit more substantial. I was hesitant to come for just dinner and order à la carte for that very reason. So instead: we came for the vegetarian tasting menu. They offer a vegetarian, vegan or pescatarian (as well as regular Meat) tasting menu on Wednesdays and Thursdays only and it's 5 or 7 courses. We did 5 which was plenty. It was a very vegetable-forward meal but it was a good way to try their menu. I do wish they had more vegetarian protein offerings but again, the flavors were fantastic. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive and was able to explain each dish with detail. I'll def come back but I hope they offer some protein options like beans or tofu or something for their herbivore friends!

They do not charge a credit card fee, so I guess it balances out. I would recommend.

    Great Brunch, good Lunch, but menu could use more variety!…read more Savas is an adorable restaurant with a really welcoming atmosphere; the space is cute, the environment is lovely, and the staff is genuinely amazing every single time. My first visit was for brunch, and it completely won me over. The buffet had a wonderful variety of food, the mimosas and cocktails were delicious, and for the quality, variety, and service you get, the price point is very fair. I left thoroughly impressed. I came back for lunch excited to experience it again, and while the staff was just as warm and the environment just as great, however, this time the lunch menu didn't quite live up to my expectations. They offer salads, sandwiches, mac and cheese and similar American-style comfort food, which is totally fine, but for a restaurant of this caliber I was hoping for something a little more exciting. I ended up ordering a salad with added shrimp, which was absolutely delicious, and a pomegranate rosemary lemonade that was incredibly refreshing - perfect for a summer day-. But if you're not in the mood for sandwiches, salads, or mac and cheese, your options are pretty limited. My suggestion: keep doing everything you're doing because the hospitality and atmosphere are truly special, but consider expanding the lunch and dinner menu for those looking for a heartier or more diverse meal.

    I was here solo and ate at the bar. The bartender had excellent service. Ordered the sava burger…read morewith sweety fries. Some of the best fries i ever had. Burger was juicy and delicious. Got the raspberry tiramisu which had a great presentation but I'm not really a fan of raspberry mousse. Wish they had the cheesecake. The ambiance is great for date night vibe. Also, everyone who works here is very good looking. Especially the curly haired bartender and the indian girl at the front.

    My fiend got reservations for us at this wonderful restaurant. When I arrived I was pleasantly…read moregreeted by the hostess and offered to take my coat. I really lived her ambiance here as it was dimly lit, but great modern accents. The server was extremely nice and had a wonderful knowledge of the menu. I started with a seasonal cocktail where they had homemade syrups and it was delicious. We ordered the steamed mushroom dumplings along with salted whitefish fritters. Both starters got us ready for our amazing dinner we were about to embark on. My friend ordered h tu r salmon and I ordered the duck breast. It was cooked perfectly and had a wonderful flavor. Such a cute restaurant in the heart of Ann Arbor

    My friends and I chose this as a great fine dining option and this place has two sides, appetizers…read moreand entrees, and let me explain. The appetizers were very weird and kind of strange. Lets talk individually Beef Tartare: It didn't taste like TarTare, I expect a more raw earthy taste and I felt like I was eating smashed spaghetti sauce Mushroom Dumplings: The dumplings were SUPER DOUGHY and the innards were not very filled Ceviche: This was the standout, it was flavored well and had solid presentation Mussels: A bit too buttery and watery for me, I like it a bit more bold and with character Now for the Entrees: Broccolini: out of the park gorgeous, the lemon vinagarette had the zest that I look for and the broccolini had the crunchy and chewy texture I expect Salmon: 100/10: hands down BEST salmon I've EVER eaten at a restaurant. It had a crunchy exterior with a juicy inside, presented beautifully on top of a jerusalem artichoke sauce that was creamy and vibrant. The entrees were fantastic and would love to eat here again
