Espresso martini
Sabrina S.

Absolutely love this spot!! The ambiance is perfect for if you want to grab a drink and catch up with a friend. It's not too loud so you can hear everyone in your party talking and the vibe is very cozy and welcoming! We loved the espresso martinis and they have quite a number of specialty drinks on their menu that I can't wait to return to try! Definitely don't skip out on their dessert menu, they had four seasonal options that all sounded incredible and we tried the smores cheesecake! At first I thought this spot was more of a bar but they also have a food menu, would definitely return to try more of their menu! The service was great and very helpful in navigating the different options on their menu. This spot is definitely a gem and I can't wait to try again!

House salad
Natasha A.

I came here on a Saturday around 8pm, it was busy but not overly so. There were a lot of empty tables outside. We were sat quickly, and it took quite a while to get a drink, and even longer to order. I got a tequila drink that was not great and I didn't finish it. I also got a house salad the smash burger which was definitely not smashed just cooked. We also got the hush puppies which were good.

Really enjoyed dining at this establishment. I ordered an old-fashioned, which was really good with their homemade bitters and I also got the Smashburger, which was excellent with caramelized onions and really good attention to detail. The atmosphere was suitable for just hanging out or a romantic dinner and the service was friendly and pleasant. Overall would definitely recommend.

One Two Punch
Linda I.

I was really impressed with my most recent visit! We were downtown and already feeling hungry around 4:45ish on a Friday, and wandered into Raven's Club, unsure if we were going to do early dinner or more like a snacking vibe. We ended up going for it. Husband and I got two of their large plates and split them. Both were beautifully served, generously portioned, and very tasty! The Churrasco Flat Iron Steak was cooked perfectly to order, with unique accompaniments like grilled tomatillos, stewed beans, and a zippy chimichurri sauce. The Shrimp & Grits was phenomenal, with juicy flavorful shrimp on saucy grits, and an extra pack of flavor in the sausage and hot peppers. Both dishes had a spicy kick, which I enjoyed! To drink, I got the One Two Punch, a seasonal cocktail with mezcal, pineapple bell pepper syrup, basil, and lime. Super tasty and nicely presented. Felt a little milder in the alcohol content.

Great seasonal cocktails. Love the vibes, nice and chill. Service was great as well. Next time I'm in town I will visit again

Inside
Kyla F.

REALLY great spot! We came on a Sunday, and they had live jazz music. It was outstanding, they were unbelievably talented! The service was great as well, it was beautiful inside, and the drinks were great! My husband got the in the pines, and I got the water of the woods. Both good, but we both loved mine best! It had a wonderful and refreshing sweetness to it!

Happy Hour
Diego A.

Visited this spot for a work happy hour. It was 19 of us. Drinks arrived in decent time. The server and host were courteous and nice. The cocktails here are pretty good. I tried their Old Fashioned and it was definitely one of the tastier ones I've had. The greatest part about The Ravens Club is the atmosphere... the vibe of the place. The lighting and the fixtures that make that lighting happen are carefully picked and positioned. The wall color and decore and the accents and details are all impressive. I dug this place. PS: The team I was with ate various appetizers that all seemed delicious. I only tried the truffle fries and they were good but a bit soggy.

Delicious menu and great time! I came for restaurant week and had such a wonderful experience. I got the spicy Brussels sprouts which were amazing as well as fries and the pimento cheese dip. Next the soup was also great. A super flavorful tomato soup. Lastly I got the vodka pasta which was just superb. Wonderful flavor with a good kick of heat.

We came for drinks last night. I've previously enjoyed an evening out with friends on football weekends & had a favorable impression. It's vibe is classy and inviting - low lighting and intimate interior. Good cocktails, which were enjoyed last night. Service was great. The knock to three stars is due to the excessive noise last night. I don't recall it being unbearably loud on my previous visits. But last night was different. The music was noticeably loud when we arrived and went to blaring by the time we left. No reason for it to be that loud. As a result, nearby groups were shouting further making conversation very difficult. It was as if they had an identity crisis- classier vibe or college crowd? I hope the noise was an aberration because with the cozy booths and inviting atmosphere this could be a terrific place for those wanting great drinks without the screaming college bar experience.

Steak was supposed to be medium rare but looks at least medium rare. But flavor was good.

First things first- our servers (Sammy inside, Jordan outside) were awesome and both get 5 stars. This was the first weekend of in-the/street seating. It was full when we arrived so we went inside. VERY dark. But Sammy made everything great. Went outside for dinner. Ordered 2 apps and a steak entree to share. Took way too long to arrive and everything came at once. Plus the steak was overcooked- ordered medium rare and was delivered at least medium if not more done (see picture). But everything was still good and we were not unhappy. Downtown Ann Arbor is really fun!

Cabin on Saturn
Ainsley E.

Been coming here for years but took a long break over the pandemic. Sad to see there doesn't seem to be happy hour specials anymore (it used to be epic) but they still have the deviled eggs and cheese plate I came to love. Scaled down cocktail list compared to years past, but still solid drinks always (recommend the Cabin on Saturn and Old Fashioned). Cool loungey setting. They can accommodate larger groups but it's also nice to sit at the bar or a two-top for something more intimate.

High 75
Katy C.

I ordered a High 75, which is a French 75 made with Japanese whisky - it was delightful! I think I may try making these at home. Nate got the Cold War, a vodka based drink with the house made ginger beer. Both drinks were good and we would've tried more, but were sticking with one drink each at different bars in the area. It did take quite awhile before anyone came over to take our order. The first thing the server told us was that the kitchen was closed, which was sort of funny since the host also told us when we walked in the door. No worries for us as we already had dinner plans. The atmosphere of this bar is super dark and moody, with dark wood and carpet everywhere. It wasn't quite the vibe I was looking for, but we enjoyed our drinks and the service was ok. The food menu sounded good so I'd probably stop by again to try a meal and grab another drink.

Classic old fashioned and a signature cocktail.
Eatconomy S.

One of the best cocktail bars i have ever been to. Dim lights, jazz music, and amazing cocktails. The bartenders are fun and personable.

Food was just okay. They don't tell you about the extra charge for music until after you get your check. It's a $5 fee a person.

A simply lovely experience! I like that the menu rotates for the freshest, locally sourced…read moredishes--and that the August one featured so many delicious vegetarian options. Ambiance and service were also top notch. Hope to have an occasion to return soon!

My friend had high praise for Spencer, so I was excited to try it out when I was in Ann Arbor. 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!
