Best Lunch Restaurants in Ann Arbor

Rodney was an excellent server! He made my birthday celebration very special.

Wonderful experience and highly recommend. Unexpected gem for Ann Arbor diners.

Great place, excellent food, wonderful service!!!!

Waiter was exceptional. Food was great. Good energy in the restaurant overall. The noise level was a bit rough, although we were seated next to the kitchen. Might be nice to have round table seating for larger parties. Also, I was surprised that a place like Mani wouldn't allow any modifications to the meals. I had asked for some of the wood-fired mushrooms to be added to my salad instead of protein and was denied. Didn't even bother to ask the kitchen, which felt a bit abrupt. Salads were very large portions, Pizzas thin and delish. Overall, it was good and I would return, although I may order a little differently next time (more shared plates vs. single serving).

We love ZB, but a little criticism can be helpful. The food, generally, is excellent, the wait staff are attentive. BUT, it is exceptionally noisy, even when half full. It’s difficult to have a conversation at times, and the noise level diminishes the ambience. An investment in sound dampening would go a long way. Otherwise, 5 stars.
