The Ravens Club — Restaurant in Ann Arbor

Chose this restaurant after looking at the reviews. Wow- this is the first time that i have witnessed a place that was so far off the rating! It is very dark wood and dimly lit old style bar setup- that part is fine just not a great setting for dinner. But the food was average at best. We had a larger group of 8 and a few dishes were passable (menu is somewhat limited). 3 of us ordered the chicken pesto pasta (relatively simple Italian dish so was looking forward to a good pesto) and the 3 chicken pesto dishes- which came out about 2 mins after all the others- were room temperature. The chicken was also very dry and cardboard like. My 18-year old som was starving so he went ahead and ate his- 2 of us sent ours back. After 15 mins the server came back (she was polite enough- but didn’t really care about the quality or ask if the second one she brought was better- which it wasn’t!) with the 2 new ones- the chicken was much fresher and actually warm- however the pasta was still room temp. The pesto sauce wasn’t great either. We will not venture here again- too many very nice places to eat in...

We went in after seeing the beautiful aesthetic of this bar, there were so many choices in the area, but we were really drawn in by the low lit vibe. Upon entering, the hostess was a young lady on her phone, so rude. Such a snotty woman. We walked in happily, and she was so annoyed, like a teenager being asked to take out the trash to seat us. It wasn't busy, but the waitress took forever to come by and talk to us. I understand that happens, but when she got back she wanted to take our order, but I didn't realize that the menu was a QR code, I didn't mind, I just didn't see it. No one told us, and the hostess didn't look at us or say a word to us when she took us to a table. The waitress had the same attitude as the hostess and acted disgusted that I didn't see the tiny qr code on the back of the drink special menu. It took her so long to come back that we decided to just leave. Honestly after seeing the other reviews I am glad we did. I almost ordered the $8 deviled eggs, 2 eggs cut in half. Over all horrible experience but it was very beautiful while...

We arrived halfway through happy hour and didn't have to wait for seating. I ordered an old fashioned and a cold war cocktail and a couple friends also ordered drinks. The drinks came out quick and were well-made. A friend later ordered food, which came out quick. As for seating, we were placed at a table near the front windows so we enjoyed having a view of the street. There were many tables in the restaurant that were fit for small parties (3-4 people) but it may be challenging to fit very large groups - especially if you don't have a reservation.

The crowd was mostly young professionals. Patrons were friendly and orderly as far as I could tell.

The staff was friendly and returned frequently to refill water or take additional orders. The happy hour deals were good, and there are good cocktails to order. It is a small club so some seating can be cramped depending on where you are in the restaurant. I would not consider it a quiet place, but my table did not have problems communicating. The men's bathroom had multiple toilets so there...
