I'll start with.....Jolly Pumpkin

Now this place is a chain...well sort of.

3.5 Stars out of 5
Atmosphere: 4 out of 5: it can be loud because of the bar scene, however the downstairs is not as loud but you need a smaller party to find seating.

Service: 3 our of 5: when it gets busy the staff get slow...well almost non-existent. We had great service when we were downstairs but upstairs our waitress left us high and dry with no water for half the night.

Beer selection is good---I'm not a beer lover and there is a chocolate beer there I do like but one time it was all delicious and chocolate like and the next time it tasted like coffee...

What is recommended:
Truffle Pizza---OMG THIS IS AMAZING!!! the pizza crust is light and thin (just like in Italy) and the ingredients were perfect, not too much goat cheese and just enough olives :-)

The Chicken Apricot sandwich is also HIGHLY recommended with the truffle fries of course :-) I don't know what it is but truffles make everything better.

Which leads me to this---- must try the truffle fries... there is some kind of sauce that is delicious, just try it!

And for desert------- Pumpkin Whoopie Pies...light, not too sweet, cream cheese filling and they are to die for!! You get two per order and it's enough to share with a group of 4 :-)

For real this time....

Our initial attempts to have this awesome food blog failed....but this time we are for real! We will be reviewing all the restaurants in the Ann Arbor/Ypsi area... there are a lot but we are ready for the challenge!!!!
