    2 egg breakfast
    Jesse G.

    Food was actually pretty good. This two star visit was due to service. Was seated quickly but sat for like 10 mins without anyone coming to take our drink order. Than after had to wait like 40 mins for our food. Was never checked on and I had to go check on our food order. Value would of been ok if service was good

    Avocado toast with goat cheese and an over easy egg!
    Jodie R.

    Wonderful, reasonably priced breakfast place in Ann Arbor (they serve lunch too!). My avocado toast with goat cheese was so good and my raspberry latte ws delicious with thick foam! Service was great and the owner came over to check on us too!

    Pineapple burger with Golden Brown Potatoes
    Dan M.

    I had the pineapple burger and subbed potatoes instead of chips. It was delicious. The play between the bacon pineapple and jack cheese was great. My girlfriend had the "smoking Lyle" (added an over medium egg)) this is a special/alternate avocado toast with salmon. She stated it was the best avocado toast she's ever had and this is her new favorite brunch spot.

    Chicken Burger
    Lily W.

    I'm not sure why there's such a high review for this place. Normally, Ann Arbor has really good restaurants. First, it's overpriced for the food. Second, the food is only decent. There was a lot of rave for the "French toast." But when you compare it with other nearby breakfast places it was only decent. Oh, don't be fool by pictures from others. The half stack is just 1 slice of bread cut into half to make it 2 pieces for $8.75. The full stack is 2 slice of bread cut into half so get 4 pieces. The chicken burger is so bland. The Michigan salad with chicken patty was also so sad. So come with low expectations when you come here.

    Fluffy French Toast
    Kevin Z.

    I've been meaning to come in for quite a while, but it usually has such a long wait at around 12. This time I came in Saturday at 10am and didn't have to wait long at all. The service is not the fastest but the waiters are super nice. I ordered the Indian masala omelette and it was really good. However, note that there are a lot of ginger so remember to request without it if you're not a huge fan. The French toast was sooo fluffy and had a strong vanilla flavor that u loved. Highly recommend.

    Spinach Feta Omelette

    Best breakfast in Ann Arbor 100%. Prompt, friendly service. They accommodate to allergens and dietary preferences with ease. The pancakes are absolutely fantastic. I also really enjoyed the spinach feta omelette. The chicken sausage is also great!

    Breakfast Wrap
    Vansh S.

    Absolutely amazing breakfast spot! Ambience is amazing, service is good and food is so fresh and non-greasy. Must visit if you're in Ann Arbor. We got 1/2 fluffy French toast and breakfast wrap (made spicy) with an avocado toast.

    Breakfast Potatoes
    Marielle M.

    This food is so bland I couldn't finish it. I feel like they didn't use any salt at all, and it can't even be for health reasons because everything was very oily. It was just onion to season everything. What saved the wrap was I added bacon and avocado but even then I could only eat about half. Everything was cooked well it's just a seasoning problem. The potatoes had the same issue with huge pieces of garlic and heavy on the oil, but no salt. The cold brew was also watered down.

    Indian Masala Omelette Banana Walnut Pancake Fingerling Potatoes
    Nav S.

    Everything is perfect about this little place. I ordered a masala omelette and it was sooooo good. Perfect amount of spice, onions tomatoes. The omelette also came with a whole grain bread ( delicious). This is a MUST HAVE. My husband had the banana walnut pancakes ( still thinking about them because they were that good). Portions are huge. I had the chai latte which was pure perfection and my husband had the cappuccino. Overall you can tell they only use clean and organic ingredients. Service was fast and the hostess was super sweet, she checked up on us many times to see if we were okay or if we needed anything else. Very cute decor and they have a white board where you are welcome to write anything. Ps: street parking

    Fluffy French Toast
    Ailun H.

    My friend and I stopped by First Bite for a late lunch this past Sunday afternoon. We were seated shortly after arriving and fortunately, the restaurant wasn't packed. Both of us were craving something sweet and savory, so we got both! FLUFFY FRENCH TOAST (FULL STACK) - 13.25 Four halves of french toast topped with powdered sugar with lots of fresh strawberries and blueberries. The brioche they used to make this toast was high quality. The toast was extremely fluffy and lightly sweetened by the powdered sugar and fruit, which was perfect for me. My friend added some maple syrup to his, but for those "not too sweet" people, I feel like it was perfect the way it was. This was so good, would highly recommend getting this here! SPINACH FETA OMELETTE - 13.50 Half of our omelette was just egg and spinach. The other half had a lot of feta. Overall, healthy tasting and something you could make at home yourself. Nothing to rave about, but still tasty. GINGER BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIE - 7 I wanted something other than water and opted for this smoothie. You can tell the tangy sweetness from the ginger along with the fruity berry explosion. Overall, solid smoothie and it wasn't too chunky (didn't feel like the seeds stuck to my teeth too much after). I'd recommend if you want to splurge. For Main Street, the pricing here is fair and the food we got were tasty. After tax and tip, we paid a bit more than 40 for this meal which is so worth! I would probably recommend just getting the sweet options in the future. Their french toast is definitely one I'll remember for next time. Their pancakes look amazing, too! I wish we had something like First Bite in the area I currently live in. We have a lot of restaurants with good brunch food, but none that are as casual and affordable.

    Great Brunch, good Lunch, but menu could use more variety!…read more Savas is an adorable restaurant with a really welcoming atmosphere; the space is cute, the environment is lovely, and the staff is genuinely amazing every single time. My first visit was for brunch, and it completely won me over. The buffet had a wonderful variety of food, the mimosas and cocktails were delicious, and for the quality, variety, and service you get, the price point is very fair. I left thoroughly impressed. I came back for lunch excited to experience it again, and while the staff was just as warm and the environment just as great, however, this time the lunch menu didn't quite live up to my expectations. They offer salads, sandwiches, mac and cheese and similar American-style comfort food, which is totally fine, but for a restaurant of this caliber I was hoping for something a little more exciting. I ended up ordering a salad with added shrimp, which was absolutely delicious, and a pomegranate rosemary lemonade that was incredibly refreshing - perfect for a summer day-. But if you're not in the mood for sandwiches, salads, or mac and cheese, your options are pretty limited. My suggestion: keep doing everything you're doing because the hospitality and atmosphere are truly special, but consider expanding the lunch and dinner menu for those looking for a heartier or more diverse meal.

Food selections are brunch focused with breakfast favorites like traditional breakfast, breakfast burrito, Pancakes, and more. There are some sandwiches as well.

    My friend had high praise for Spencer, so I was excited to try it out when I was in Ann Arbor. My…read morefriends and I arrived 10 min before they opened for brunch and there was no wait, though the restaurant filled up quickly behind us. The space is rustic and simple, with fresh cut flowers on the tables. A majority of the walls were occupied by floor to ceiling racks of wine, as that is their award-winning product. Their brunch menu changes weekly and is extremely tight and cohesive. My party ordered the entire food menu sans olives (2/3rds of us don't like them), and two plates of the potato pelmeni. My thoughts below: Amaro Apertivo: mocktail based on the namesake dessert wine. This tasted like candy but not too sweet, and we enjoyed it a lot. Lovage soda: Google told me that lovage is an herb that tastes like citrus and celery. I am a huge fan of drinks with a twist, and I'd say that celery is a pretty big one! Crisp and not too sweet, the citrus flavor definitely balanced the Celery, and both flavors kept the soda fresh and crisp. This was great paired with the rest of the herbaceous menu and balanced out the richness of some later dishes, though it's not necessarily something I would enjoy by itself without appropriate accompaniment. Pickled egg, fried shallot, dill: I had only heard of pickled eggs in the context of strange British food on YouTube, so I was a little hesitant about this dish. The concept of an egg floating in vinegar brine is a bit off-putting, but once I powered through that mental roadblock, I found myself enjoying this bite. The egg is perfectly cooked with a slightly jammy yolk, and the shallots added a much needed crunch. Dill enhanced the pickled taste while cutting through the richness of the fried shallots and yolk. Sourdough focaccia, whipped butter: Never in my life have I ever made focaccia this tall. This focaccia was raised by a loving family and nurtured to develop a golden, non-greasy, crisp crust protecting its tender, pillowy innards. The classic sourdough tang is a novel addition to each bite, and cuts through the creamy, whipped butter to keep me wanting more. I could eat a whole pan of this alone, but we had many more plates to sample. Saucisson sec salami, pickled carrot: This is a simple, charming, carb-free mini charcuterie; place a slice of salami, some of the mozzarella (next dish on this list, below), and its oil atop a pickled carrot base, and you are in for a perfectly balanced treat. My favorite part of this dish is the fact that the salami was incredibly savory, and not too salty. The more you chew it, the more the flavors express themselves, so be sure to chew slowly and thoroughly! The crunch of the crisp, dill-pickled carrot and the soft chewiness of the mozzarella give each bite a lot of good contrast. Mozzarella, green garlic oil: Fresh, hand-stretched mozzarella is something that even I, a notorious cheese-hater, can't say no to. It is not sharp or funky at all, nor is it too salty. Most of the flavor comes from the green garlic and olive oil smothering each bite. Fresh and floral with a little bite, this was delicious with the salami and carrot above. Potato pelmeni, asparagus green adjika, sour cream: Given the portion size of the previous dishes (small, tapas vibes), we were not expecting the platter full of double carb heaven that met our eyes. And we ordered two!!! This is a gorgeous dish with plump, quarter-sized pelmeni nestled in a vibrant green asparagus and herb sauce with a dollop of sour cream on top. This was a classic comfort dish with a verdant twist! The pelmeni were stuffed full of creamy potato, and the dough was cooked perfectly al dente for a satisfying, pillowy bite. The sauce was homey but packed with zippy flavor and tender asparagus. The major feedback I have for this dish is that it was way too salty, to the point where the flavor was a tad too sharp because of it. Lettuces, radish, pumpkin seed, caraway vinaigrette: It was through this dish that I found out what caraway tastes like and through this dish that I figured out that I'm not a caraway fan. The lettuces were bitter and when combined with the slightly medicinal caraway taste, wasn't for me. The crunch of the radish and the nutty pumpkin seeds were great in this dish though! Fennel cornmeal biscotti, rhubarb compote, cream: This was a single biscotti with generous dollops of compote and cream. We were quite full when this dish was set in front of us, so I was frankly relieved for the small portion size. The fennel in the biscotti paired wonderfully with the tart rhubarb, and the rich cream rounded things out nicely without tipping into cloying territory. The savory cornmeal complimented the fennel and provided additional depth of flavor. A great small bite to end on! Overall, Spencer's strong fundamentals allow them to take risks with in-season local produce. Some things worked for me and some didn't, but I would love to come back to see what they can create next!

This Sunday, my mom invited myself and my siblings to join her for brunch. The ambience was amazing - with lovely natural lighting and gorgeous table settings. The menu makes every dish seem mouthwatering and delicious. When the plates came out, they were gorgeous and the food looked so inviting. Unfortunately, the taste was completely lacking. If you're going to charge the prices they're charging, the flavor should be amazing in every single bite. We sampled four different dishes, and none blew me away. Some, were even borderline "bad." Here's a rundown: mushroom pizza - the description makes it seem like it will be cheesy and full of flavor, but it was very one note duck confit pizza - had three pieces of duck on it and was otherwise covered in hot peppers lemon blueberry pancake - more of a skillet cake - sauce was the best part, otherwise dry on the bottom Raclette burger - $30 which is almost comparable in price to a burger I had at The Four Seasons in Maui. That burger, was worth every penny. This one had absolutely no flavor. The meat tasted like mush - definitely lacked seasoning, and there was not a speck of cheese to be found. If you're going to call a burger a raclette, it should be oozing with cheese. grilled Romaine salad - leaves were bitter and the dressing again, looked delicious, but had no flavor. The flavors did not compliment each other at all - with the pickled grapes, taking away from the dish and contrasting very starkly against the rotten tasting lettuce Brown sugar oat milk latte - really the only thing that delivered both on looks and on flavor. Sadly, not high on my list of places to return. It kind of made me think of Vegas: lots of pomp and glam which momentarily distracts you into thinking you're having the best time of your life. But in retrospect, not very fulfilling.
