Vinology Ann ArborGreat wine, unique and delicious!Try the Kentucky fried bunny. It's delicious.
Small restaurant so make sure you make a reservation. Serving staff was knowledgeable about their wine list and recommended we get the half entrees if we got an appetizer. It was the right choice. Parking is on street or in a near by garage.6/15/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent serviceGreat wine list. Food is available in two size options. Nice atmosphere.6/15/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat experience with restaurantGreat experience with restaurant week! Vinology has yet to let me down. I love it!6/14/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat find!This is a regular on our dining schedule. We love the "half-size" portions. Wish the wine flights were more individualized to the actual order, but that being said, they were very good. Service was great. We had a really lovely evening.6/13/2013 12:00:00 AMCreative and deliciousVinology doesn't hold back on service. The wait staff is competent, attentive and friendly. The food is amazing, with beautiful presentation and remarkable flavors. And of course the wine list is expansive and delightful.6/11/2013 12:00:00 AMJust lovely!Came for restaurant week for my boyfriends birthday! We lived it!6/9/2013 12:00:00 AMRestaurant Week great findWe dined at Vinology for Restaurant Week. Food and service were excellent. In other restaurants we have often found smaller food portions during Restaurant Week but the portions were more than enough to fill us up. My husband and I enjoyed the wine flights - a generous (estimated 3 oz) pour of 3 different varieties. The only issue was when we arrived - our party of 3 was shown to a table for 6 in the basement, located outside of the wine cellar. We thought it had the ambience of a banquet room. We asked to be reseated upstairs and were shown to a very nice table for 4 near the front with a window view. The restaurant wasn't full so we were surprised by the initial seating but satisfied that there were no issues with our request.6/9/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful evening.I went here with my boyfriend just to have a nice date night and we had one of the best meal dining experiences we have ever had. The food was all absolutely delicious, amazing combinations of flavors and the service was genuinely amazing as well. We had a three course meal which was brought to us in a nice flow. We also ordered a bottle of wine, which our waiter, Steven I believe, promptly kept at a nice level. Not only were we attended to by the waiter, but also the manager/owner (not sure which one) and the chef, all of whom seemed to really enjoy their job, food, wine, and making your evening amazing. The bill was a little pricey but then again we did get an amazing three course meal and a bottle of wine!6/9/2013 12:00:00 AMWow! Wonderful experience!One of the best places I've ever eaten! Food
was amazing, wine selection was excellent. Cheese Flight was a great starter. Our server was super smart too. I can't say enough good things about Vinology. Wow!!!6/6/2013 12:00:00 AMVery GoodI thought this place would have been snooty - nope. Good food and good service. I'm a tough reviewer too, I don't hand out attaboys easily.6/1/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful food and serverReally enjoyed a quiet and pleasant evening with great food and wine.5/31/2013 12:00:00 AMOkay food, great drinksI dined at vinology for the first time. The ambience is very nice and our server was knowledgeable and attentive although she was a bit overly chatty and familiar at times. The drink options are of course great. I loved my wine. Food was so-so. Started with the crostini--delicious! Then had the half portion of halibut (which is a very good amount of food). Everything was good except it was swimming in what was supposed to be a pea purée by looked more like green oily water. Very unappetizing. Overall though it was a decent experience minus my food (my friend loved her surf and turf).5/31/2013 12:00:00 AMA must doLoved this place. Food Reminds me of Gastronomy in Southfield. Cheese appetizer is TDF. Picky party of 4 all thrilled with food, wine and service.5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMBusiness luncheonVinology is a great venue for business luncheons as there are spaces within the restaurant that are quieter and conversational voices can be used.5/20/2013 12:00:00 AMVinology back up to par.The quality of food at Vinology has varied substantially over the years. After a long hiatus we decided to give it another try and we were very pleasantly surprised this Monday. We recommend the fava bean, eggplant and arugula pesto appetizer, the greens salad, wedge salad, wild bass and lamb steaks.5/20/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat dining experience!Excellent, creative presentation of a seasonal menu. Great selection of wines to pair with your menu selection. Knowlegable, friendly service, just the right amount of attention. If your visiting Ann Arbor, this is a dining must.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMeverything great, except...horrible coffee, probably a kitchen accident or oversight.5/16/2013 12:00:00 AMThanks for the mealWe had a group of 7 each with distinctly different tastes. To a person, each was very pleased with their meals. A few of us said "that was the best meal I've had in a long time". Service was outstanding. Attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. Well done Vinology! We'll be back.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMgreat meals for everyoneThe "small plates" are plenty for most people, and the food is creative and delicious, with fresh ingredients prepared with great care. Highly recommended. If you drink wine, expect dinner to be upwards from $60 per person.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food, great wine!I've eaten here several times and it is always good. This time in particular everything clicked and every part of the meal was spot on. Food choices were good, wine choices were good. Thanks to our server for providing good advice, and to the hostess for accommodating our seating needs.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMPossibly some of the mostPossibly some of the most innovative and best food in the area. Service is unbelievable and the ambiance is perfect. A complete gem of a dinning experience.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMDuck Pastrami is Awesome.Despite a 45 min to 1 hour wait for walk-ins, we were seated promptly at 8:45 for our 8:45 reservation. Hostess appologized for the 5 min wait (we arrived a bit early). Service was excellent. The food was amazing. I had the Duck pastrami - perfect. My wife had the arctic char which was also excellent. I love that you can get half orders of the entrees. Port-poached pear tart for dessert. Awesome meal.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMAbsolutely Fabulous!!We were a group of 6. Had reservations. Had 3 different appetizers. Cheese plate, marinated olives and the crostini with 3 different spreads. Very flavorful! My main course was the chicken with rice. It was delicious. We had a couple, 3 bottles of wine. Wonderful. It was not too loud, but, we were having so much fun I doubt we would have noticed. Our server, Steve, was absolutely the BEST! He was attentive, funny and in charge. He gave us some good advice re: the appetizers and the wine. We really enjoyed having him as our server and would ask for him by name again!4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMNot quite as good as I rememberNot quite as good as I remember it. The fish was a bit fishy.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMWine, Wine everywhere!We enjoyed a romantic dinner in an intimate wine cellar, surrounded by wood shelving and hundreds of bottles of wine. Nina helped us throughout the night, sharing details about the new Spring menu and the wine offerings, and by pacing the evening for our enjoyment. Appetizers were fantastic. My wife and I each ordered a different flight of three wines, which we sampled and shared, discussed and enjoyed. The other nearby dining rooms have their own look and feel, all with a wine-centric theme. Large champagne bubble decorate the ceiling of one area, and wine tools fill boxes on the wall of another. Well worth a visit!3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMNice menu; some vegetarianNice menu; some vegetarian choices. Enjoyed the wine flight choices. Tends to be pricey.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMThere's always interestingThere's always interesting things on the menu...combinations of flavors you might not think of that usually end up working out. Food is good for ann arbor, and always consistent. appetizers are great and most entrees are good. The wine list is extensive (be sure to look at the rare wines and finds). service is among best in a2.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was amazing, as always.Food was amazing, as always. Still obsessed with the michigan sparkling wine they have on tap.... M.lawrence, the variety they have now is called sex, the prior version was called Detroit, both fabulous and very affordable at 15/carafe. Bison steak was out of this world... Lamb was succulent. I look forward to meals here, esp as they change the menu enough that your forced into trying something new, and I'm always glad for it! Our particular server last time was a little dry... Service was good, but I noticed many laughing helpful and personable servers around us and wondered why ours was so stiff... Oh well, people have off days. Overall another phenomenal experience!3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMFriday night stop, first timeFriday night stop, first time visitor. Wine list is expansive, although I am not an expert, draft selection fair. Did not care for the beer glasses (sort of a brandy type glass), but that is only real complaint on the drink selection. Had two appetizer plates, olives and pickled vegetables at $8 great deal, very good, loved it. Cheese appetizer plate $18 a little carb heavy with some breaded type goodies on it. We just had two half plates after that, amish chicken was one of them. All in all, very good, outstanding server (Alexis??). Will be back. BTW, was not there in time for it, but 1/2 off during happy hour.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderfulThe food and wine are both outstanding. The meals are extremely creative and the portions are enormous, even the half dinner sizes are enough for 1 full dinner (and I can eat quite a lot). The servers know about all the proper wine pairings. The desserts are also great, and it is also a nice stop for restaurant week.11/13/2012 12:00:00 AM
