    Had the ravioli appetizer, it was very delicious. My wife’s filet was absolutely perfect. I had the burger. Disappointed at the amount of bacon pimento cheese on it and couldn’t not taste it, but the beef was cooked perfectly. I’ve had larger burgers for half the price. Not worth $28. Our server was wonderful and fun. They treated us with a free dessert as it was my wife birthday, very kind and thoughtful of the restaurant and server.

    Great dinner. Private table semi enclosed for a business dinner. Wait staff outstanding! Great suggestions. Seafood appetizer was the very best suggestion. My filet with crab was perfectly cooked. The best dinner in my 15 years in ann arbor.

    One of the worst culinary experiences my fiancee and I have ever had - service was extremely slow (took 10 minutes for the server to come to our table in the first place), and none of the food tasted anywhere near good enough to justify the cost. The pork belly bao bun had an intense vinegar taste, the salad was drastically overpowered by blue cheese, and our entrees were served lukewarm (filet mignon and pan seared duck) with 3 steamed baby carrots topped with pepper flakes on the side. After one bite we told the waitress we were sending the dishes back and desired the check. For reference, I have never before in my life sent any dishes back in my years of fine dining. However a tasteless filet served lukewarm with a side of steamed baby carrots for $66 was enough for me to do so. I do not recommend this restaurant for anyone - it is nowhere near the quality experience the cost demands.

    Dinner last night at TWEG was outstanding. We had the sea bass and scallops and pasta and both were delucious as were the shrimp dumplings. Nice reasonably priced French rose and a yummy chocolate tort made it even better. Our waitress was friendly, attentive and was right on track with her menu suggestions. My favorite A2 upscale dining spot.

    Very nice people and good service. The chef here is trying too hard be be something that he’s not. The menu is all over the place and the portions, except the chicken and pork chop, were small. A “thimble” of rice came with an undersized piece of swordfish.

    We've never had a bad meal at West End Grill, but unfortunately last night was an exception. The menu has changed since we were last there, and our dishes were truly not up to what our previous experiences have been. The swordfish was not at all worth mentioning, accompanied by very plain rice, two plain steamed baby carrots and extremely oily snap peas. The filet was well prepared, but the sauce was very ordinary accompanied by the same oily peas, and unimaginative mashed potatoes. Overall, very disappointed.

    The food was bland, poorly presented, unevenly cooked, and just plain bad in many cases. We had a great server, but we will never be returning here. It was outrageously expensive for what you get.

    Overall the experience was good. Seabass was great, halibut was great, both the beef fillets were under cooked, Delmonico steak was very disappointing. We had an early reservation, service was good until the restaurant became a little more crowded. Then the waiter seemed too busy to be attentive. The ambience was nice, it’s a small quaint place which was unique. Perhaps slightly over priced for the quality of food. Would still likely return for special occasions.
