great experience, very Covid- friendly. Will miss their outdoor space over the winter.

Justin was an amazing sever! Thanks for the great experience

We love the Gandy Dancer, especially for birthdays. It was my husband's birthday, so of course we had to celebrate. They provide a personalized menu for the birthday guest, and complimentary creme broule´. The food was outstanding as usual, and the ambiance was soothing and relaxing.

Service excellent. Food great. Atmosphere a plus. Great date night

Great service. Good food. Very pricey.

The food was cold! Super pricey and would have possibly been worth it if the food weren't freezing.

The service was good and the food was above average but I feel it didn't match the price. Basic meals without depth. I felt the server was attentive but the ambience and experience was ruined by the sale of the restaurant group point club, I felt I was flying a second rate airline and was being pushed into a frequent flyer program. I thought I was going to a local restaurant and would've been fooled until the server pushed twice for me to join the national laundry's program.

We celebrated Veterans Day. The respect in honoring my husband started at the door and continued until we left.

Wait staff was very attentive and engaged.

Meal was excellent as always.

I've been at the Gandy Dancer a number of times over the past few months. I went the first time because they had outdoor seating. I went the rest of the times for the food. Gandy Dancer's reputation has waned, but I think they're one of Ann Arbor's best restaurants now. Great fish, of course.

Pretty good place
Building looks like castle
Server was great
Food was good
Nice outdoor patio
Too much traffic very noisy though

Very nice. Dave our waiter, was awesome. Very attentive,but not overbearing.

We enjoyed our dinner very much. I would have given 5 stars but we waited over 20 minutes for our drinks.

The food is great, the service was excellent and the ambiance was nice.

If you've never been, a very neat place to go. Service is top notch and food is great!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbbbb
Cccc vvvvvvvv gggggg hhhhhhhhhhh
Jjjkjkkkkkk

First visit. Justin was great. He slow played the meal because my wife and I did not have any other plans.

Love this place

Wow...just some of the most delicate fish I get regularly when I go here for a dinner. Amazing Mahi Mahi coated with a wonderfully tender crab meat. Delicious to the last bit and I cleaned the plate !

Very disappointing. Two of us ordered prime rib and it was cold, way too salty and the au jus had coagulated fat on top. When asked how it's prepared, the waiter indicated that it sits under a heat lamp then before it's served, they dip it in the au jus to "heat it up." Gross. I indicated I didn't want it and instead of offering me something else, the waiter said he'd send a manager, who eventually arrived when my husband was nearly done with his dinner. I got a salad. My son, who had the other order of prime rib, sent his back to be warmed, and his rare piece came back well-done--must have thrown it on a grill? This was all preceded by being told that our request to sit by the fireplace could not be honored because they just sat someone there are didn't see our request. Really?

For an Ann Arbor restaurant they should have a peice of paper with the barcode to get the menu instead of throwing paper away and wasting trees. Additonally, you should have paper straws and not plastic for the environment. Every other restaurant in Ann Arbor has the above mentioned.

I won't recommend anyone coming until these are in place.

Probably the best dining experience I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of. The dynamite scallops was a top 3 food item. 11/10 recommend this establishment.

Best meal we've had at the GANDY in years. The service was great. The social distancing appropriate.

EVERY. COURSE. PERFECTION.

Fantastic food, service and ambiance. Can’t wait to return.

We loved the ambiance of historical building along with the excellent food and service.

First time here certainly will return soon.

We sat outside near a heater. Can’t comment on ambience, we were glad to be warm!

Great experience, perfect service, perfect table by the window, food was excellent, my lady loved it and that's what matters most.

The dinner was a mixed bag with some dishes (i.e. the Calamari as a starter) that were excellent and others not especially distinctive. 2 of our 6 guests ordered steaks (1 strip and 1 petite) that were well cooked and seasoned. 2 of our 6 guests ordered a special - sole stuffed with crab. It was interesting, well seasoned, and distinctive. 1 of our guests - the guest of honor for a birthday celebration - ordered the Sea Bass. It was unbelievably salty but the texture was excellent. It took for ever to catch the waiters attention - there was no table visit - and the entre was served with the guest having no silverware! Finally, the Sea Bass was cleared - but a new dish took an extended period, and so the guest was out of synch with others that finished their dinners. The refire on the Sea Bass was correctly seasoned, but was a little chewy and undercooked. The 6th guest had a "special" salmon dish that was unremarkable. The desserts were excellent - although the pink cream garnish was not needed and added nothing to what was a spectacular key lime pie. Rodney was in the weeds all night long - he tried - but could have used a busman or even a front of the house manager. Bottom line - in spite of best efforts, service was choppy (and we came at 4:30 when it was dead). Even though this was an unremarkable dinner (expectations were high) - I would probably still go back. 2 of the guests had great pre dinner cocktails. The wine list was interesting and fairly priced. Its just that the dinner - service and food - were a mixed bag. There was also an incident in the Men's Room with a staff member - but I do not want to bias others that might read this review as I would consider this incident so unusual. I will communicate with the restaurant in a private note. Maybe this wasn't our night - give it a try but lower your expecations.

Great experience! Amazing scallops !

Excellent food - can be expensive though. Service was excellent.

Celebrated a birthday and

Celebrated our 1st year wedding anniversary here. Service was excellent and food was amazing. They even had customized our menus with a “happy anniversary” message for us and tied it neatly in a bow to take home as a memento. We had never been to The Gandy Dancer before but we will definitely be back.

Our server was terrible. Poor and slow service. She hit my niece (age 22) in the head not once but twice with serving tray. She reached 3 ties across my husband and plate to refill coffee. She was terrible and I hope we have someone nicer with more experience with skill to be our server.

The food was delicious and service was excellent. We told them we had someone in our party with nut allergies and they were careful and attentive to the orders and provided nut free alternatives.

Great place ! I had celebrated my birthday with my immediate family .
Nice to dress up . Great atmosphere

Great seafood in a old fashioned setting! Would highly recommend.

Food: 4/5 THE BUTTERNUT SQUASH BISQUE. Amazing. The salmon pate that came with the bread was also quite delicious, especially for a complementary spread. The vanilla creme brûlée was also very yummy. Mussels and crab cakes were good. The scallop appetizer was very flavorful but would’ve maybe liked it a bit lighter, it was quite a heavy crab sauce that came with it. Also shoutout to Waleed who was a very friendly and helpful server!

Service: 2/5 We also came an hour before our reservation thinking it was gonna be very free at 4pm on a weekend. It was indeed quite empty and yet they still made us wait at the bar for an hour before seating us in their beautiful outdoor tented area with dozens of table, ALL of which were COMPLETELY empty. It was fine for us as we weren’t hungry and enjoyed having the entire tent to ourselves for a little while but it didn’t make sense to have us wait when there were no tables or people to wait on but there were other people in the restaurant eating so they still have working staff and kitchen. A more sensical explanation would have been appreciated. But again our server was great.

Atmosphere: 4.5 The outdoor tent with large heaters, beautiful string lights and lanterns next to a mini garden area was honestly quite charming. Inside was nice, bar was a little small.

Beautiful building and great food. Restaurant did a great job of social distancing guests.

We were warmly greeted at the entrance. Our server made us feel very welcome. Service was excellent. Where many places find service and friendliness a lost art, Gandy Dancer values their customers

We dined "outside" under an enclosure with heaters. The tables were spaced for social distancing. Our server, Justin, was attentive and friendly. We were fortunate to have him as our server on a previous visit, an he remembered us. We ordered shrimp cocktail, wedge salad, coconut shrimp and key lime pie. Food was excellent.
Perfect evening.
