    Olive appetizer
    Ainsley E.

    Been here a number of times over the years but never reviewed. Managed a reservation on a Saturday at 5pm and the place was already packed. Service was a bit slow. The folks at the host stand couldn't be bothered to be particularly engaged or friendly. It was kind of off-putting to be completely ignored as a guest of a business. Food was good! The patatas bravas are a must. The combo of the potatoes (fried perfectly), sauce, and egg, do something truly magical. The brussel sprouts are quite good, as are the wrapped figs. Olives are good if you like those and pickled things. This particular combination of food was not quite enough for two; we could have ordered one more dish. My apple mocktail didn't have a ton of flavor -- tasted kind of watered down. I'd get something different next time.

    The tapas are the star here, and the paella is decent. It is a bit expensive for what it is worth though. We found the service to be pretty good, and it is a nice spot for a date night. Get the patatas bravas with egg and the croquettes (truffle one is best). We did unfortunately have to wait a really long time past our reservation time for a seat, so keep that in mind if you have plans after.

    What a fun time in A2 checking out a new spot. My friend suggested meeting up at Aventura for Happy Hour. It's a quaint chic restaurant serving up Spanish fare. The Happy Hour menu was quite extensive with tapas style items to try and beverages are discounted from 3-6pm. We enjoyed sharing many things off the menu. The food was very tasty and the sauces blended perfectly with each dish. I really enjoyed my cocktails, too! This is most certainly a fun spot to try!

    Haven't been here in years and it is just as I remember! Food is always good and service is quick. The croquettes were perfectly salty and creamy inside! The steak skewers were great and super tender. Not pictured are the most fabulous churros with caramel and chocolate-- I could eat these every day! The restaurant was quiet since we went on a weekday but I'm sure it is busy on weekends. Ann Arbor must go!

    PULPO EN SU TINTA Gambas Al Ajillo

    We went to Aventura on a Sunday evening in summer and they were able to seat us - I was pleased by this! Even though it was busy, we were still able to get a nice seat in the main dining area. We might have ordered the paella because that's what they are most known for ... but this requires an advanced order of at least 40 mins (on a less busy night). My friend and I were on a slight time limit, so we decided to skip the paella and order some tapas instead. Of course we order the batatas bravas (a must have and classic) and then we chose two other tapas at random; We also ordered the PULPO EN SU TINTA (baby octopus on top of squid ink (very interesting, not our favorite but interesting presentation) and the Gambás (grilled and seasoned shrimp (we loved this). The service was great, but we were expecting all three tapas to arrive at the same time. Instead we received each tapa plate at a different time - seemed like 20 mins between each plate... by the time the last plate arrived at our table, the food was already cold. The restaurant is beautiful; there are dimmed lights throughout the restaurant, giving it a cool and intimate vibe - very good place for a romantic date or fancy night out with friends or solo. One thing I wasn't a fan of and that I noticed when we got up from the table to find the bathroom is that the tables/chairs are positioned pretty close to each other in some areas and this makes it hard to move and flow around the restaurant. Overall, nice restaurant and wished I got to try one of the paellas!

    Croquetas De Bacalao.

    Had a nice dinner at Aventura a couple weeks ago. We came in on a Wednesday evening with no reservations- luckily we were able to get a table without waiting. The restaurant itself is beautiful and I loved the look of the bar. Our server was great and explained the menu making some recommendations. We decided on the Brussels, papas, mushroom balls, dates, and the chicken paella. We also ordered wine and beer. The tapas were all delicious but we especially enjoyed the dates and potatoes with egg on top. I think next time we would skip the paella and just stick with more tapas. Only other negative was it was a bit loud- tables were close and sound traveled through the space. Would visit again!

    We loved this wine. Perfect red that didn't give me a headache.

    I always love coming here for dinner. We tried some new things on the menu so I thought I would update my reviews. New and notable...I'd love to have again: FLOR DE ALCACHOFA artichoke, salt cured egg yolk, lemon, anchovy aioli $13 POLLO A LA PARRILLA seared crispy chicken, red wine sauce, salsa verde, baby carrots Half...$32 I'm also noting that I liked the Boston Madeira today better than the New York. We usually get the churros and given that they are so rich, I think the zing in the Boston would have been a nice complement to the churros. The New York put the churros into the "too much sweets" category. I also loved the pictured wine with our meal. We often struggle because I often get a headache with red wine, and this one was delicious and didn't give me a headache. A perfect selection for a Pinot noir lover. Wahoo!! As always, the service was outstanding and the meal was perfectly paced. Thanks again for a marvelous experience!

    Reservations: I would recommend getting reservations since this is a main street restaurant. Ambiance: very spacious and the vibe is cozy and the interior design is spot on. Service: The service is always nice and I enjoy eating here. Food $$: This is a more tapas style so I would get the seafood paella and then get some tapas to compliment the main entree. Audience: Solo Trip [ ] Family Friendly [X] Friends [X] Date Spot [X] Recommendations/tips: Overall, they have restaurant week deals but if you know what you like it might be a better choice!

    Setas and brussel sprouts
    Jimin H.

    Highly recommend getting a reservation for this restaurant especially if you are going at prime time on a weekend. The food was delicious and our favorite was the setas which were mushrooms over a yogurt sauce. The churros which I didnt get a picture of were also so fluffy, warm, and delicious. Would definitely recommend this restaurant as the service is always top notch and food is delicious! It is tapas style so the bill can add up.

    Gin cocktail and mocktail
    Nisha N.

    Went for happy hour! The vibes are cute and the service was great. The charcuterie board was good for the price. Got one of the gin cocktails which was also very light and refreshing. Would go back with a larger group to try the dinner menu

Honestly one of the best IPAs I've had in a whileee) - Kasteel Wit: 9/10 (light-body wheat beer that's also super refreshing and flavorful!) - Hacker Pschor Oktoberfest: 10/10 (great marzen) - Rhineheist Cheetah lager: 8/10 (decent lager) - Guinness: 6/10 (the Guinness was wayyyyy too watery!!!) - Ferndale Project Apple Pie: 9/10 (actually tastes like apple pie and vanilla!

However, I made a grave mistake of ordering on the QR code/Toast rather than at the bar. I say grave because fellow bourbon whisky enthusiasts will cringe -- I was pretty stoked to see that they had Basil Hayden Toasted. So, I ordered it but also selected "add water" with the anticipation that it would be like a dropper of water. Nope, they made a cocktail out of my 2oz pour of Basil Hayden. Whiskey water. At that point, it could've been Makers Mark or Jack and I wouldn't have known the difference. User error though so I did make sure I still tipped accordingly and NOW I know. I'll be back though.

What I do love about Ann Arbor is that they balance out the drunk haunts of young adults with great restaurants and high end bars for the people looking for more than a pitcher of cheap beer. Rabbit Hole is one of those spots. Down the same little alley way as Circ Bar, this underground bar is tucked away, stone hallways and open up and lead to different openings that provide seating, a dance floor and an amazingly stocked bar. If you like bourbon you will love this spot. Our bartender was fantastic, absolutely worked with me on working out a drink. I know I took a pic of an espresso martini, but my drink was made perfect also. Another nice surprise was that it wasn't some crazy price on the drink (I mean any crazier than other places and quite cheaper than around my home), especially for Ann Arbor. Walking away from the bar is a dance floor, and surrounding it are booths in a separate rooms and tables on a level up from the dance floor. There are also two hallways that lead to more booths and tables in different areas of the bar. As you can imagine this is a huge place. We came on a Friday and it wasn't very busy, but school is out and the weather had just broke so not surprising. I really enjoyed my time and the company I was with, and I would definitely go back.

Definitely a bit confusing to figure out where to go. I wish I had been given some direction. There is seating against the wall throughout the winding halls. There is a dance floor and a couple bars. I loved the look which would definitely bring me back if I had also loved the Cocktails. The drink I ordered was way too sweet. I was underwhelmed. Most of their drinks looked on the sweeter side even the bartender mentioned. For my second I just ordered a glass of bubbly. It was also on the sweeter side but an improvement. For the prices, I really don't want to have to get up, find my way back to the bar to order my drink, then walk back to my seat avoiding the people and trying not to spill.
