    The food is delicious and there is a wide variety of food choices regardless of your dietary restraints. We ate on the patio which was quiet - we arrived before the lunch crowd. Our waitress was very attentive! Will return.

    Mushroom pasta dish was truly excellent, excellent flavors but not too rich. Kale salad was totally solid. Sat under the tent, which has such a good vibe. With two or three large groups out there, it was the loudest I have ever heard it, but we would not let that stop us.

    We were a party of 9 - food, ambience and service was great! Had the nachos and salmon burger with Alaskan amber ale! Excellent time and didn’t have to deal with downtown Ann Arbor traffic since it is on the west side!

    Easy reservation, great service on a Saturday afternoon. Outdoor seating picnic tables were clean. The outdoor temp was low 40’s and the tented area wasn’t as heated as expected. It was unpleasantly cold even with layers and a jacket.

    The Session Room, the staff, the food, the environment and of course the BEER selection never disappoints! Some friends and I get together about once a month and this time chose The Session Room. I was thankful they take reservations (especially since we were planning on dining on Friday, March 17th - St. Patrick's Day). The specials were delicious and we enjoyed our time. I highly recommend!

    Sessions coupled a great selection of food and beverage with convenient location/parking... the table ordered Pulled Pork, BiBimBop and Pizza, and all were pleased with respective choices. "Mo" was our hostess, and she was spot-on with her recommendations and service. Great place for most any occassion.

    The chicken Naan sandwich is very good. Great beer selection. Restaurant is a large open room, can get a bit noisy, in the age of Covid, some tables are pretty close to each other. Overall nice bar atmosphere with good food.

    Good family restaurant. Disappointed there were only 2 entrees, pretty much just a pizza and sandwich place. Cocktails were inconsistent (same drink, different glassware, different garnish, came with ice when ordered without)
