Food DanceOutstandingOur son just graduated from Kalamazoo College yesterday. We celebrated at Food Dance. I am sad that we will no longer be traveling to visit him and the college and eat outstanding food and ingenious menu. I said to my family that I wish there were Food Dance in Brooklyn, where we live.6/15/2013 12:00:00 AMExtemely ImpressedOur service was fantastic, we absolutely appreciated the special attention it felt like they were giving us. We will definitely be back, and recommending them to anyone who asks.5/31/2013 12:00:00 AMWork LunchFood Dance is always a sure bet for a nice, bright, fun atmosphere and good food. I love the funky painting and decor, and am always interested in some of the fun "experimental" twists on food that is prepared. Probably the only potential drawbacks with this restaurant is that it is a little bit "pricey" and they will not take lunch reservations except for groups bigger than 8; this makes planning a work lunch challenging. However, all in all, the food and the location make it a great choice for impressing out-of-town family and guests.5/30/2013 12:00:00 AMNo expectationPrior to arriving to Food Dance, my family and I had no expectations. We are not from the area but have heard positive comments about the restaurant and read great reviews online. The food was presented beautifully and tasted awesome. Our waiter, Reece, was very attentive and knowledgeable about the restaurant.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMAwesomeThe food is superb. The chef is on point with seasoning, presentation and temperature. I haven't had a meal like that in a very long time. The service is awesome, the staff knows the menu inside and out and is very professional. The menu is seasonal and sourced locally. The establishment is a asset to the to the city.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMGraduationI loved the menu choices. The menu is small and easy to read, plenty of diverse choices and flavors. Presentation and taste was excellent. The staff were also excellent!5/16/2013 12:00:00 AMReviewMy husband and I have recently moved to Kalamazoo from Macomb County, Michigan. Our niece recommended Food Dance and we went. My husband still believes that his 'pork chop' was the BEST PORK CHOP he ever had. I had the spring tart.....and learned what ramps were! We also tasted some cheeses and I fell in love with the mattone. Sooooo, great food and, for us, a food education. Definetly will be going back. Also appreciated being able to purchase the wine we had with dinner.... Thanks!
Phyllis5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMMemorable dining experiencesFood Dance is one of our all-time favorite dining places in Kalamazoo, where choices abound for our family's varied taste buds, including vegan/vegetarian. The food is always fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious. The staff is well trained and very accommodating. Whether it's a special occasion or just a meet-up with friends, we feel Food Dance is definitely on the top of our list. We highly recommend it.5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a party of 19. TheWe had a party of 19. The service was excellent, which isn't easy with a party that large. We had vegans who found some nice choices, and foodies who were all satisfied with their meals. As the "planner" of this outing I was very pleased.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMFabulous, as everAlong with thousands of other medievalists, I visit Kalamazoo once a year, and I've done so for six years now. For the last four visits, I've gone to Food Dance, and it's now a must-do on my Kalamazoo agenda. Service is amazing (hello Kimberley!), and the food and cocktails are great. Every year, I bring at least some new people, and all have loved it. Highly recommended.5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMA favorite stop in KalamazooFood Dance continues to surprise and please.

The girls especially loved the cheese fondue!5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMGraduation Goodness!We celebrated our son's graduation at Food Dance. Our reservation was flawless. After the ceremony we were famished and it was great to walk in to a restaurant and be seated immediately. We had a cozy nook which was quiet and comfortable. The wine list and abundance of beers on tap were impressive. We were delighted by the perogie appetizer which brought back memories of Polish grandparents since passed on. My husband and I were awed by the generous, fresh salad entrees ; his Salmon and mine the Cobb. Delicious and best salads by far! The savory bread and herb butter: Yum! Our carnivorous sons feasted a delectable steak and scrumptious burger. Dessert was divine!! We will definitely return for another special occasion.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMHad a wonderful experience!Had a wonderful experience!

THANK YOU!4/15/2013 12:00:00 AMThe experience of eating atThe experience of eating at Food Dance was top notch. The dinner was the best I have had in a long time. One of the reasons we eat there is the food is fresh and chosen to be served. There is only one thing Food Dance could change. My boyfriend and myself wanted two pieces of cake, then found out that they do not serve a slice of cake, you have to buy a small cake for 15.00. So that would have been 30.00 for dessert. I don't understand that at all.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMThis is a favorite of oursThis is a favorite of ours in town. My family loves going here for brunch on Sundays, however this visit was for a business dinner. The curry chickpeas and duck entree were outstanding. This place never disappoints. I have taken associates from San Francisco, Chicago and NY here and they all are very surprised that a place like this exists in Kalamazoo. If you haven't been, check it out.4/1/2013 12:00:00 AMFound this place on TripAdvisorFound this place on TripAdvisor and it was every bit as good as the reviews. Dinner was so good, we went back for Sunday brunch the following afternoon. The fried chick peas w curry is a must try. My wife had a vegetarian squash tart that was delicious (and I'm a carnivore) & I the NY strip w foraged mushrooms that I had was one of the tenderest cuts of meat I've ever had. The real treat though was dessert - bacon & egg custard vanilla ice cream with french toast. The ice cream was both sweet & smoky - a truly hedonistic experience. For Sunday Brunch I highly recommend the smoked whitefish scramble that my wife ordered.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AM
