   I was a party of three. Two of us got food poising. Probably from the mahi mahi. The restaurant has yet to get back to me. I suggest avoiding the restaurant at all costs.

   We were a party of 5. We had a couple of apps, the scallops and crab cake - all wonderful flavors. I had the apple jack sea bass - again a wonderful blend of flavors (was slightly sweet). I had the martha's vineyard salad which was super yummy (I really like pine nuts)! We shared desserts - my favorites were the carrot cake and the key lime pie!! Nice atmosphere and a great server (Jeremy)!! It was a Sunday evening - not too busy.

   Took our daughter to the Gandy Dancer for her birthday. It’s a beautiful and very unique building (former railroad depot with stone walls, heavy wood beams, a fireplace, and floor to ceiling windows overlooking the tracks.) Somehow it makes a fine dining experience seem casual and comfortable. The food was excellent - from the warm rolls to the lump crab cakes to the plank cooked salmon - as was the service. Would definitely recommend.

    First time visiting the Gandy Dancer. First, what we loved: the food was delicious… our waiter was impeccable, professional, enjoyable and personable. It was a weekly date and the location made it special. Great ambiance. Reasonable prices for exceptionally made food. Fantastic carrot cake!!!! Are we going back? Yes! Only caveat: unless you valet, parking is a little complex. My husband doesn’t like using valet and we parked across the street (public parking). Crossing the street it’s a little scary. But, I enjoyed the Gandy Dancer so much, I can’t wait to return.

    This was our first visit to Gandy Dancer. Passed it dozens of times but hadn't dined. We arrived early and had drinks at the bar before our table was ready. The bartender was quick with suggestions and drinks were ready swiftly. When we got to our table, our server greeted us, ask if we wanted more drinks (yes). He gave us time to look over the menu. He was attentive, friendly and funny. Between the four of us, we had oysters, almond crusted brie, firecracker shrimp, lobster bisque, mediterranean clam chowder, prime rib, crab cakes, filet and shrimp. Everything, and I mean everything, was absolutely delicious! We left room for dessert and had creme brule and chocolate truffle cake. Both were outstanding. While it took a gift card to try it for the first time, Gandy Dancer will now be one of our go to places for a night out!

    The noise level is getting so bad that after today we reevaluating use of the restaurant for anything more than happy hour. We like the food and service but if we can’t talk over lunch then why get together. Gratefully we were moved to a more quiet table at our request. Thanks to our understanding server!

    Food is ok but not extraordinary. Very traditional dishes done with little creativity. Our waiter was ok but nothing special. He lacked attention to details that should be expected from a restaurant of this price level. The kitchen and the service need an overhaul badly

    The party of 3 was there, orders taken for soup and salad for everyone. Soup came but salads never did until it was too late to eat them. This was over an hour. The salads had to be boxed up and taken as carry out. This was a candidate interview lunch that went very poorly in terms of showcasing Ann Arbor and the Gandy Dancer. Service and getting your meal is usually slow but ok and part of the process but this was way beyond that and made 3 people go back to interviews without their full lunch.

    The Gandy Dancer plank white fish was the worse white fish we have ever experienced. Thinner than the board it was presented on. The alcohol drink was a manhatan and we had to convince the waitress as it was not a scotch and water as ordered. Overall rating was poor as we use other Landry restaurants. We just came from Newport Beach Rusty Pelican where the salmon was the best ever for the same $$.

    Please provide more vegetables with your entrees and more gluten free pasta possibilities. The price range was on par with other local restaurants on the level with the Gandy Dancer. In your advertisement please explain how the valet parking option works.

    I would say everything was spot on from the food to the service this is one of the very few places that actually get it right most of the time I end up sending my food back because it’s not cooked the way you ordered it. Thanks for the delicious dinner!

    I am not one to say much when I don’t have a good experience but this should be brought up. It was New Years Eve and we were so excited to come back to Gandy Dancer. We will not be returning. Our waiter was sub standard to say the least. I ordered the sea scallops and they arrived raw rubbery and chewy, I sent them back and they had simply warmed them up and returned them still too raw to eat, I decided to take them home and finish cooking them. We spent $150.00 for 2 dinners and left kind of sad and disappointed. Never again!!

    The Gandy has been a family favorite for years. Cozy unique ambience and beautifully prepared classic dishes - outstanding seafood and beef. And did I mention they have the very best oysters in town? The servers are friendly and efficient and we always meet other friendly diners

    Gandy Dancer is in a lovely historic building with several small intimate dining areas and some other larger areas as well. The restaurant is in a slightly "off the beaten path" street not far from the Amtrak station. It offers both valet parking and self-parking at convenient meters across from the restaurant as well as free street parking nearby. Service seems to always be top notch but not hoity toity. Food choices, preparations and presentations are good. Prices on high end but not unreasonable for what you are getting (the total package: ambience, food quality, selection and service). This last visit I knocked off a few points due to the music selections played during lunch on New Year's Day (prefer more relaxing music for dining) and the vegetable accompanying the meal was not very hot though the fish was perfect. Our request for a specific seating was honored--much appreciated! Gandy Dance remains one of our favorite places to dine!
