    We had a great meal at a great price. Food was awesome. I had Pad Thai and it was very good. Wife got the walleye tacos and shared one with me. Very good. Sat outside on a beautiful A2 evening.

    Service was fine. Drinks were just okay. Way too heavy on the lemon and lime juice. Could not taste the notes of alcohol. Brussels sprouts were dry and bacon was hard and chewy. Desperately needs some sauce, balsamic glaze. Pad Thai was lacking sauce and Thai flavors. Chicken in Pad Thai was tasteless and very dry. Disappointed.

    The food was surprisingly fantastic. The menu was significantly smaller than their menu on their website and didn’t have what we wanted. But what we got was memorable. We started with the deviled eggs (very sweet, very good) and the fries (perfect slightly squishy fries). My partner for the pork belly which was melt in your mouth delicious, literally. I tried their shrimp pad Thai. A generous portion, the flavors were underrated but so, so good.

    Haven't been here since huge COVID restrictions were lifted some time ago...the food has changed up (the fried chicken sand which is not nearly as spicy the cheese board was not as diverse as before). Overall it's still good, but not as spectacular as we had remembered.

    Everything was awesome except the hostess, our food, drinks and waitress all outstanding…. Hostess sat us, I asked if we could move to another open table nearby ( 4 open tables) not right next to all the bar action. She said those were reserved, I asked if there was a specific way to reserve those since I didn’t see a way to call out a type on open table, she just those are just reserved and walk away. Strange… anyway everyone and everything else worked out perfect for our night out before heading to the ark. Plan to come back.

    We love the the Raven Club. The waitstaff, food, and drinks are all excellent. The blond hostess is so rude. She never greets you, seems bothered when you arrive, and fails to respond to inquiries with words. We have been seated by her three different times. Same experience each time. Otherwise would have been a 5 star review. Here’s hoping she gets some training!

    I’ve been going through different restaurants for restaurant week, and this restaurant was easily one of my favorites, as I enjoyed the amazing food (I tried new things and was pleasantly surprised), the whitefish spread seriously surprised me, and both the filet tips and cheesecake were wonderful. Service was great, ambiance was nice, the bar offered to make me any drink they were able to make, and I had really no complaints whatsoever. Would definitely go again!

    Dinner for 4 on a Sunday night, including two children. Favorite dishes were the duck (absolutely sublime, with pork belly and a nailed-on balsamic sauce), brussels with bacon, coconut shrimp, and a generous wagyu burger. Less successful (IMHO) were the lettuce wraps - while a sizeable portion, felt they needed more acid or a sauce - and the fish tacos, which were "just fine" compared to other offerings. But I know that I find corn tortillas too mealy. Pricing was reasonable and the portions large. Service was efficient and unobtrusive. Just right. We were leaving as the jazz band struck up, which added to the overall ambience. Would certainly go back for the cocktails and now that I know the kids enjoyed their food.

    We always enjoy the Raven's Club and think the food is very good. My husband's venison was perfect, my duck this time was a bit overdone but the flavor was excellent. The waiter did an incredible job considering he had so many tables to serve... he was very attentive, kept checking in and updating us. Kudos.

    You need to keep Chris Buhalis playing on Tuesday nights. He brings people in and it is a beautiful and rare treat! We come from Ferndale to hear him! Our server was excellent. So was the food! Making a reservation was fine, as we didn’t do that long drive and then not have a place to sit.

    The drinks were horribly overpriced. I ordered "the number two" which was recommended to me by the waiter. Nine dollars later I received a small glass of an average tasting mixed drink. I was astounded by how small the drink was for 9 dollars. Everything else was quite tasty and reasonably priced, although it was hard to hear much over how loud the restaurant was. Overall...don't think I will come back here on my own, though I'd be happy to come back if invited by friends..but I would definitely not order any drinks.

    I was really impressed with our waiter. There were 9 of us, we all showed up at different times, split some of the items we ordered, got a different drinks each time, etc. and he somehow managed to keep everything perfectly straight when he brought us our separate checks. I've been a server for years and I know how difficult a situation like that can be, but he totally handled it and with zero attitude. He had a great personality, he was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. The food highlight of the night was definitely the crispy duck confit. It was perfect. It was my birthday and I had a great time!

    The food and cocktails were delicious but the size of the dishes was hard to predict. Some portions were very generous (pot roast, fried chicken special) others were too small for a hungry person. It'd also be nice if the hush-puppies didn't have wheat flour in them so celiacs like me could eat 'em, but overall there were lots of accomodations for wheat-free people. Highly recommended!

    I went in a group of 6. We sat in a large both in the back - perfect for 6 and a little quieter than the front. Service was excellent. Atmosphere is casual. Entrée choices are limited so instead we ordered at least a dozen small plates to share. The food was excellent! Some of our favorites were the clay pot carrots, kale Caesar, roasted beets, short ribs, and chorizo empanadas. The only item we could not recommend is the deviled eggs. They simply weren't special. There were only two desserts so we got a couple of each to go around and they were both excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant, but suggest you go with a few people so you can enjoy as many items as you can.

    With a sister visiting from San Francisco we had to find a place that fit her standards. The Ravens Club hit the mark. Six of us shared several appetizers - 2 orders of deviled eggs (almost like Mom's!), calamari (tasty), the kale Caesar ( good way to eat kale), the cheese board (jam spreads were delicious), and the smoked nuts (an unexpected favorite). Two shared the night's special - house-made pasta with giant meatballs containing pine nuts and raisins. There was enough for the others to sample it and wish they had ordered it. Two shared the taco dishes. The lamb was braised to to perfection; chorizo was okay. Next time we'll request the chicken salad sandwich with the cranberry-walnut bread. We relaxed as the pie was baking. Yum!

    The food really missed. Beautiful ingredients, bland finish. Salads were beautiful and bland. Salmon cooked to a perfect medium rare, bland. Cocktails, French fries and deviled eggs were fantastic. With just a little more flavor, the food could be delicious as it sounds.

    Tried The Raven's Club for the first time during Ann Arbor Restaurant Week as their menu looked to be one of the most appetizing. The restaurant isn't typically open on Mondays, but made an exception for RW. The RW menu was the only one offered, which as disappointing to some of our party The chorizo tacos were the most popular first course - good flavor, but the tortillas completely fell apart after the first bite, making them difficult to eat. The strawberry salad with feta cheese was tasty, but the squash soup (cold, not specified) was less than desirable. For entrees, the group tried the chicken, ricotta ravioli and pork chop, all of which were fantastic. HUGE drink menu with house-made sodas and syrups. Great bar scene!

    My group decided upon Ravens Club to celebrate a birthday. Our server seemed scattered although she recommended drinks and food to us. During dinner she was not as attentive as she could have been. We mentioned that one of the salads was not good as we did not take more than one bite. She did not apologize or offer us a substitution. When the check came it was still on the bill. We will go back, just hopefully not to sit in her section.

    The Raven's Club has a wonderful ambience -- we went on a Thursday evening to experience the jazz music. The club accommodated our group in a large round booth in the back where we could talk and appreciate the music in the background. Exceptional service! The food choices are varied, and the bar drinks were delicious. Our group would definitely visit the Raven's Club again.
