Chicken piccata! Whew ....it was the best meal I had in Michigan. It was delicious and I highly recommend it. This place is great for large parties and the decor is really nice and inviting. Not to mention , service was really good. I initially ordered the braised short ribs and wasn't aware it would be drowning in a bbq looking sauce. They were so nice about letting me swap out my entree and it made me a fan. My only suggestion is that they add more description to the menu. Some entrees simply say chef favorite, which doesn't tell me the sides or that an item is covered in a sauce. read more

We went for the wine tasting and it was not very well coordinated. A few tables with sales representatives who just served wine in an uncoordinated manner. Afterwards, we stayed for dinner and had to leave the wine area. We were seated without a menu. After 10 minutes, someone stopped by to take our orders. Upon request, the server brought us the menus and noted that another server would take the orders. We had appetizers, the nachos were stale and really tasted like nothing. The wings were cooked and spicy, though nothing crisp to it. During that time, the new server did not check with is if the orders were complete or even okay. Once we were done , the plates were removed and our server disappeared for about 1/2 hours. We had to get the attention of another employee to get the bill. The employee appeared somewhat annoyed when we asked for our server but confirmed that our server would be coming with what appeared to me with an insincere smile. Our server walked towards us but stopped to attend to another table. Those ten minutes felt pretty long. Afterwards, we received the bill that included an ordered side dish that had not been served. The to go boxes were finally brought after asking for them twice. In summary, the food was nothing to write home about. The food service was non existent. It just looked like they didn't care with a smile that doesn't mean anything. Cannot recommend this place. If you must go, keep your expectations low and check the bill for accuracy. read more

Venue has been on our list for a while, and we decided to pop in to try the lunch special that they were offering for Restaurant Week. I loved the atmosphere, very modern and vibrant. Elliott gave us wonderful customer service, very attentive and friendly. We both had the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich, and wow was it tasty! The breading was crispy yet light, the chicken very juicy, and the toppings were the perfect offset. I also indulged in a happy hour cocktail, it was a season special cranberry mule with orange Kettle One, very refreshing and yummy! read more

I understand that if there are few customers at lunch on a weekday, there will be staff shortages. What I don't understand is why Venue also offers skimpy food portions. The pizza I had had a decent if undercooked thin crust, some actual basil leaves, but the thinnest skim of sauce and cheese I can imagine. They did amp up the salt, so I can't say it was tasteless. It cost twenty dollars. They might want to cut back on the expensive ingredients (mozzarella de bufala, Prosciutto Cotto ham) in favor of substantiality. Meanwhile, they won't be seeing my little group of diners again. read more

Walked into an amazing venue...if I might borrow from their name. The ambiance is incredible. Very modern and chic. I was told I needed to visit when in Ann Arbor. I was not dissapointed. I met Thad, the executive chef who was sitting at the bar chatting with his brother. I asked about their stand-out cocktails and Erin, my bar tender, recommend the SMOKY OLD FORUM (Bourbon, Amaro, Demerara). It was smoked to order, with a small cloud of smoke when served. Tasted like perfection, and perfect drink for the late fall season. I wasn't here for a full meal so I ordered the CAROLINA WINGS as a snack. The sauce was made with peaches and remained savory while on slightly sweeter side of savory. They were really good! Highly recommend. I also give them accolades for being environmentally friendly with biodegradable paper straws. Erin was an amazing bar tender. She was friendly and inviting. I would come here often if I lived in the area. They are very close to the big house (Michigan Stadium) yet off the beaten path. read more

So a couple of friends and myself decided to randomly take a trip to AA to check out a new restaurant that he thought looked pretty great. Venue by 4M in Ann Arbor offers a truly massive space with some great aesthetic qualities, boasting an impressive visual appeal that could make it a standout location. However, despite its grand scale and stylish decor, the venue regrettably lacked any real warmth, leaving the overall atmosphere feeling a bit cold and impersonal. Our dining experience was a mixed bag. We ordered the salmon cakes and a salad, and both dishes were undoubtedly delicious. The flavors were on point, and the ingredients seemed fresh. That said, they were also quite basic in their presentation and composition, not offering anything particularly innovative or memorable. The most frustrating aspect of our visit was the service. It took a significant 15-20 minutes for anyone to approach our table, and we had to repeatedly ask for someone to come over and take our order. This lack of attentiveness was a considerable detractor from the meal. While I wouldn't rush back for a casual dining experience, I do believe the large space would be fantastic for a group party or event. Its expansive layout and attractive aesthetics lend themselves well to accommodating a larger crowd, where the emphasis might be more on the gathering itself rather than an intimate dining experience. read more

I recently booked Venue by 4M for my team's office party, and it was a great experience with a few areas for improvement. I chose this place based on a friend's recommendation, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The venue was perfect for our gathering of 30 people, and the staff did an excellent job accommodating us. Since it was the day before a holiday and the restaurant had been closed earlier in the day, we planned the event the same morning. Despite the short notice, the staff was incredibly flexible and made the entire process seamless. They even assured me over the phone that we could take our time without feeling rushed, which was a thoughtful touch. The restaurant has a unique charm, as it's a former grocery store that's been transformed into a modern, art-inspired space. The vibe is fantastic--sleek, clean, and inviting, with beautiful artwork and thoughtful design elements throughout. One of my favorite features was the large windows, which allowed us to enjoy the stunning sunset while we dined and socialized. It created the perfect atmosphere for our gathering. We came in for a happy hour gathering, and while the overall experience was pleasant, the food was just okay and could definitely be improved. We only tried their happy hour menu, so I can't speak to their main menu yet, but I'm hoping for a more flavorful experience when I return to explore it. Our server was attentive, friendly, and regularly checked on our large group to ensure everything was going smoothly. The appetizers were fresh and flavorful, but I feel the drink menu could use some improvement. I tried the Tropical Thunder, and while the name and description suggested a bold, strong cocktail, it was much sweeter than expected. A better balance of flavors would have elevated the experience. The bread with olive oil was simple yet flavorful, and the chips paired with different dips added a fun variety to the meal. Chimichurri offered a refreshing, tangy twist. The fried calamari was perfectly crispy, while the pizza brought a comforting and satisfying touch. Brussels sprouts chips was so crispy and full of flavor. The rosemary table spread added an aromatic elegance to the experience, and the chicken wings we had were served in different flavors, each one bursting with its own unique taste. One feature I truly appreciated is that Venue by 4M doubles as a rentable workspace. They offer open desks, conference rooms, and video conferencing setups, making it a great spot for professionals. Additionally, the ample parking space adds to the convenience of hosting events here. With its welcoming atmosphere, diverse themed menu options (including American, Asian, and Mexican), and versatile offerings, this venue is an excellent choice for both gatherings and work-related needs. I'll definitely return to explore their main menu and see how their bar offerings evolve. Overall, a great experience that has the potential to be even better! read more

I really wanted to rate this place higher because I'm a big fan of their coffee shop. Unfortunately, my dinner experience was underwhelming. We shared the rosemary bread, and I ordered the chicken wings and Caesar salad. Nothing was outright bad, but the food lacked flavor and didn't quite meet expectations, especially given the price. That said, the service was excellent, the happy hour deals are great, and I really enjoy the decor. It's a solid spot if you're with a large group or just stopping in for a drink. Hopefully, they'll consider upgrading the menu to match the quality of the rest of the experience. read more

My 2,000th review and last review of 2024 goes to Venue by 4M! I've mostly known this space as Lucky's Supermarket or "that new co-working place." I didn't realize they had full blown restaurant operations! It's helmed by Executive Chef Thad Gillies ...who is most recently from Logan - which we loved loved before it closed, so I had high hopes. We specifically came for their sunday jazz brunch - stellar idea and execution! I'm sure someone with a good ear with sound would say that the acoustics aren't perfect for live music but you know what, I'm not the sound expert. You can be asked to be seated a little further away if you do want to be able to hear your dining companions better though. For food - I couldn't really decide, I really wanted the Biscuits and Gravy but ALSo the porchetta hash..so I made it work by ordering the Porchetta hash, choosing biscuits as my "bread" on the side & adding an order of the sausage gravy ($5). Flavors were good! The hash got a little soggy texture wise with the soft porchetta, so I went home and airfry-ed my leftovers and saw great success! No notes on the biscuits and gravy - I'll probably order that as my main next time. Diamond, our server, was fantastic! Perfect balance of attentive while still giving our large group some time to settle in and chat. She also split the bill easily for us which is always always appreciated! I'll be back to check out their happy hour as well as dinner sometime! read more

So this place is...weird? They've done a decent job breaking up the large space so it feels like a restaurant and not a grocery store (this building used to be a Kroger and then Lucky's Market), but it still has a kind of hospital or cafeteria vibe. Maybe it was the lighting, the high ceilings, or the smell of cleaning product or something, but it was off to me. The food was good, but definitely on the expensive side for the ambiance here. We ordered: - Arancini. Pretty typical, I think the sauce was the best part. - Carbonara (add shrimp) - this was quite good, best part being the clearly fresh-made pasta. - Bison Bolognese - my partner liked my carbonara better, but I thought this was fine. Wouldn't order again. - Tiramisu - this was disappointing because it's our favorite dessert, but this must have been sliced and kept exposed in the fridge because the bottom layer of sponge was DRY. Tiramisu is not a dry food. We were bummed. We agreed we wouldn't come back here unless we needed to book a large group of people and needed the seating. They certainly can accommodate large parties here without issue. read more

Ambiance was great. It's a big space, but seating is arranged to maximize comfort and privacy for all guests. The food was excellent. We had entrees off the lunch menu. I had the Porchetta Reuben and my Bride had the Salmon Burger. Both were accompanied by shoe string French Fries, which were exceptionally delicious. For dessert, we shared the Brownie with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and warm fudge sauce. Again, really good. I had an espresso, which was expertly prepared and presented. Service was great. Our server, Daniel, was extremely attentive, knowledgeable, and quite sociable. We each had leftovers, which will make us another fine lunch. A word on the prices: We were pleased with the quality and quantity of the servings for the cost. In summary, Venue is a gem of a restaurant and we highly recommend it for any occasion. We made dinner reservations for Valentine's Day dinner before we left! A note on pricing: read more

Event last night for Thrivent was held in the back room area. I'm from Grand Rapids and drove 2 hrs to meet with clients and watch the presentation; had never been here. It was awesome! The food was delicious, everyone I talked too races about getting such a great meal. The chicken and beef tips were excellent I wish I got more; so juicy and moist- typically the buffet style drives food out but this was not the case. Everything was perfectly prepared. Staff was attentive and quick to clear plates for the presentation. Lastly the space was bright and inviting and fun. I'm not sure the total count likely 50 or so people but plenty of room, great sound system for the speaker and huge screen to utilize. Would recommend if you're hosting presentation or speaker engagements. The front restaurant and bar area was pretty busy to all evening so I'm sure they're doing things right there too! read more

This was our first time trying Venue (since it was Lucky's grocery store). Let me say, we will definitely be returning whenever we can [because we have been missing out, since they opened]. The food was phenomenal: we had the Rosemary table bread with hummus, meatball alfredo, grilled cheese w/ tomato soup and chocolate cheesecake. Our waitress Elle was on the ball, and had excellent suggestions. The atmosphere was wonderful: the music was not too loud, and even though it's a big space, the overall talking was soft enough you could have a normal conversation with your table mate(s). The art slideshow was fun to see as well. Venue is a fantastic place for a date night, even during a public event. read more

Had a blast here coming to celebrate a friends' birthday recently. There were about 15 of us that came in for brunch on a Saturday morning. I ordered the eggs in purgatory was basically a shakshuka (poached, jammy eggs in a tomato-based sauce) that came with toast. I was able to swap my toast for zucchini bread free of charge. This was so tasty! Highly recommend the zucchini bread. It came with a bit of butter and jam on the side. The main dish was also delicious. The venue itself is beautiful and so spacious. Our server was friendly. Will definitely be back! read more

So this more of a review for 4M than venue necessarily but they do have a number of interrelated ventures. I've been staying in the townhomes from time to time and I really like it. Affordable, easy, and a clean space. Much cheaper than hotels in the area and I think it's just as comfortable. The 4M Team is also very pleasant and easy to deal with, and quick to respond as well. The WiFi is good, the beds are comfortable, the common areas are nice, etc. The townhomes are in a great location and walkable to the stadium and downtown. If I had any complaints, it would be: -imo the common areas should be totally serviced. It hasn't been an issue, but I'd be pretty pissed if someone trashed the kitchen and didn't clean it up, or if someone never took out the trash or ran the dishwasher. -the freezer space is incredibly limited. Not sure what the best solution for this would be tbh -there could definitely be more kitchen supplies. I believe the townhomes are intended for mid-length stays and it's odd to not have some basics like a colander. Overall, a great place to stay. Would continue coming back read more

Venue is a little hard to review because it's really 4 or 5 things rolled up into one: coffee shop, restaurant, bar, event space, and co-working space. However, it's made easier by the face that I have tried each of those things and really enjoy them all. Let's start with the coffee shop, since that's where I spend most of my time. Fantastic coffee shop - baristas are great, coffee is great, prices are better than most alternatives (chain or otherwise). The wifi is very good and reliable. And it ranges from a little busy to quiet, but it's nowhere near as chaotic and loud as, say, Zingerman's. Also, except for Mondays, you can get lunch from the full menu. The restaurant is also very good and I love chatting with Chef Thad and the rest of the staff there. Wonderful people. I've tried large swathes of the menu. My top picks would be the Venue Burger, the chicken sandwich, the grilled cheese and tomato soup, and the chef salad. The co-working and event space, I've only used a couple of times, but it's what you'd expect, modern, and competitively priced. I recommend giving this place a try if you haven't. read more

On busy weekends in Ann Arbor like football and graduation, we always seek out a restaurant that has parking. We were a large group so that can accommodate us. It is a large open space with cool lighting. Started off with appetizers we shared and they were good. My mushroom ragu was delicious but truly petite and small. It is nice that the menu on the website shows the size of the pasta dishes. The buttermilk fried cauliflower sandwich was excellent! Our other dishes were very good. Service was friendly and efficient. The menu is a little pricey. If you need to split the check, they can do it easily. We'll be back! read more

My wife and I visited Venue for lunch in anticipation of a larger party for dinner during the upcoming A2 Restaurant Week. The kitchen couldn't fulfill a special order, but we were okay with that; only asking. We were pleasantly surprised by a visit from the manager, Tim. He was professional but gracious, quickly resolving a small issue and making us feel satisfied, valued, and appreciated. This was one of the best guest experiences we've had in an A2 restaurant for a while. Tim's expertise in hospitality was reflected in our waiter, Josesan's performance; his leadership has clearly fostered a culture that empowers his team to deliver exceptional customer service that builds genuine customer loyalty. read more

So far I can only speak for the market and cafe but I have to say I really liked my visit there. There are two rooms, the cafe/market area and a dedicated seating room adjacent to the market. The decor in the seating area is very cheery and colorful which is 100% my aesthetic. It's exactly how I would decorate my home so I loved it. The market carries a few different pantry goods like granola, jams, jellies, condiments, snack foods, etc. They have a good selection of locally made items and what isn't local is at least made by a small business, which I appreciate. There's also a nicely curated selection of beer, wine, and NA beverages to enjoy as well. The coffee bar is also enjoyable. I ordered a cold brew and also got myself a chocolate chip cookie. They also have an espresso machine for lattes, cappuccinos, etc. My cold brew was smooth and flavorful and the cookie was also very good. They typically carry a lot of grab and go dining options as well but I was there shortly before close so much of that was gone, but I saw the signs on the shelves that included things like rotisserie chickens, a variety of sides, sandwiches, etc. I would definitely come and try some of that in the future. read more

This review is specifically after going to one of their Jazz Brunches today, but overall it's my third time visiting Venue. It's been a little hard for me to get a read on the place overall (feels a little bit like they're still finding their identity), but I had a very enjoyable time with brunch today! I was a single walk in around 11:15am, and definitely no issue getting seated. I was one of maybe 3 or 4 tables there, but it's a huge space with a large capacity overall. Granted it's the Sunday after a big snow/windstorm Friday/Saturday, which may have contributed to not many people being there. The brunch menu specifically feels travel inspired, with dishes like croque madame, chilaquiles, shrimp & grits, and I saw an Indonesian rice cake dessert on the menu. Of course they also have American brunch classics like chicken & waffles, avocado toast, hashes, etc. I ended up getting the Croque Madame sandwich, and the server asked if I'd like fries with that so I said yes (I think it was an upcharge though not sure), and a Mimosa flight, which lets you pick 3 juices. I did orange, passionfruit, and mango. The Croque Madame sandwich was very good, super rich and very filling. It's beautifully presented, and the plate it comes on is heated up. It had this warm melty cheese and sauce, good ham that they did not skimp on, and I think a mustard which cut through the creaminess a bit. The sourdough bread managed to retain some crispness too, adding texture to each bite. Fries were fairly average - not bad but not really anything special. I would have skipped them if I knew how filling the sandwich would be. I would describe them as McDonald's like, but less salty (which is a good thing). Mimosa flight was also ok. The amount in the 3 pours looked to be a bit more than what one normal mimosa probably would be. I think the orange (standard) juice one was my favorite but I liked the passionfruit as well. I'm kinda a lightweight these days but I did definitely feel the alcohol. Finally, the jazz! This definitely elevated the meal, as it was live music, mostly instrumental but some singing as well. The group was professional, and I enjoyed them! Kind of felt like I was getting brunch at a fancy hotel while on vacation somewhere. Let's say a nice ski chalet given how cold and snowy it is. One suggestion - how to tip the performers wasn't clear. Might be nice to have signage somewhere with maybe a QR code or Venmo handles or something. I did actually have cash on me today too, but they were taking a break when I was leaving and I didn't see a cup or anything to leave a cash tip either. Overall the food here is pricey, but jazz brunch feels like you're getting a bit of a deal since there's no charge/upcharge for the live music, just need to go when they're doing one. Believe they have jazz brunch the last two Sundays in Jan! Otherwise check out their calendar for other weekly specials and events. Seems like they host a lot of things. Their market is closed on Sundays, or I would've checked it out as well. read more

The place has plenty of parking which is a plus. I entered the place and decided to sit at the bar as that was where my friend was. There was also a nice jazz band playing. I ordered a drink and the Thai wines. The wings were good and had a good flavor. This is a nice place to come to listen to music and grab a bite.

4 stars with a caveat- i have spent some significant time here and i love the space- the servers are largely friendly, but not very attentive. the food is hit and miss. But the prices are extremely high for what you get. A $25 burger and fries? $30 if you sub a beyond burger. with tax and 20% tip- now you are looking at close to $40- and that's before drinks. Soda or tea? $5 Obviously everything has gotten more expensive but sometimes it feels like a money grab. For those prices I could go almost anywhere in town. Which makes it unsustainable for me. Once in a while, sure- but could not be a regular- which is too bad because the space is great and I live close by. read more

I have been to the market and cafe twice now and both times I got coffee to go and browsed the market. The service is very friendly and helpful and my coffee drinks were good. It was nice to go to a coffee place that has ample, easy parking. The indoor seating area looked cozy. I assume you can sit down n the outdoor seating area though how you enter that area isn't obvious. The small market had a mix of ready-to-eat items and high-end specialty foods like olive oil, tahini, crackers, cheese, and chips. They do have rotisserie chickens and a $10 pizza and beer special. In general, the market seemed to cater to people who don't cook. read more

The first time I was here, it was to visit my tax lady in the work space area. After my second meeting with her, I decided to sit at the bar for dinner. Very cool bar with wonderful servers and bar staff. Base on the bartenders recommendation, I started with the Italian highball it was malfunctioning gin with sparking rhubarb. Clean, with a solid gin taste. For dinner, I had the queso fundido and the Caesar salad. Both were great. The salad was garnished with bowyer ones, delicious white anchovies imported from Spain. I decided to add the Mexican artist cocktail after seeing the adorable presentation. It was delicious as well, with a first class aesthetic. Composed of: mezcal, banana and Prosecco. All in all, great space, service, creative menu and drinks. Be warned, it's quite pricey, but worth the splurge. read more

So, I was meeting my old boss from years ago at this place since I was going to be in Ann Arbor for the day, and he suggested coming here since he rents office space from them, and loves dining here. I'm familiar with their concept, and was excited to check this place out. Walking in, the outside looks pretty average. It was clean and well maintained, but nothing over the top. From what I observed, they have a few different things going on here, but it primarily is a work space with other businesses built around it. They have a small market, open work space and a huge dining/restaurant area with a full bar here. I ate at the restaurant so that was my primary focus for today's visit. The website says they open at 11 AM weekdays, but when I got there at 11:15 AM, the doors were locked and I had to enter through the market. Ok, fine. I waited in the small waiting area which was cool because they had a TV (with no volume on?) and some cute chairs to wait in, which I loved. The staff continuously checked in on me to make sure I was okay, and I told them I was a few minutes early to meet my old boss. Sitting down, they don't have paper menu's here. It's entirely electronic. They have a QR code on the table, but I was also told they have tablets if needed. My boss went with a Caesar salad and I went with a Queso dip with chips. (I wasn't starving but wanted food.) We were the only one's dining in at the moment, so our food came out quickly. I was both happy with the chips and dip, and my old bosses tea and salad looked amazing! We both enjoyed our meal and had a good time. Our server was fabulous and seemed well versed in the menu and different options. While it's not cheap to dine here, it really is a nice space. The price point's a little high for the food, but hey, it is Ann Arbor, so kind of anticipated it. Granted, he picked up the tab, but I don't know that I would pay $12 for the chips and dip that I had per say. Overall a good positive experience and I had a good time. read more

Food is mediocre and overpriced. Bland food without any depth. $25-30 for an entree - and they were pretty small. Definitely not worth it. The chips and guacamole appetizer was horrible. The chips were stale and guac was tasteless. The pappardelle with boar bolognese was equally bland - just tasted like plain meat - sauce had scant seasoning. The gnocchi was the biggest offender. While the food was decent, the small portion literally only had 5 pieces of gnocchi. Definitely won't be coming back any time soon. read more
