Sava's - Ann Arbor Charter Township

Relaxed dining experience with few drawbacks. My family came here on a recent visit to Ann Arbor. We had previous knowledge that this place was pretty good, but it defied expectations. The food it was fresh. It had a unique takes on flavors that I had hadbefore, and the portions were pretty good. The state could?ve probably been cooked a little bit better, but I?m not gonna dingthem too much for that. And they made one of the best old fashioned?s I?ve had in the states! Ooh and they allow dogs.

This restaurant used to be one of my all-time favorites, and I?m sorry to say that I?m incredibly disappointed with the new menu. The menu items are extremely expensive, the portion sizes are small, and the food itself is not worth the price. I paid$50 for a single dish and a lemonade (pictured). Will not be returning.

Aug 2022 FYI that Sava 's has completely changed the majority of the menu, since the last time I was here; after some remodeling done. Will have to dine again to update my review. Dec 2021 Great customer service...5 stars! Always love the ambience of thebar to the coziness of the restaurant. Food-wise tonight was 4 stars. Felt a bit pricey for what we ate... with 21+ tip, it wasroughly $270 for 5 people. 4 cocktails, 3 apps, 5 entrees. A few people had the Sava 's wagyu burger with the garlic shoe stringfries. The burger was nothing special taste-wise and a bit on the dry side. It was ok. Fries though were good. The sauce forthe burgers tasted like a tartar sauce. Chicken panino sandwich with the garlic fries and the penne rigata pasta were both thewinners on entrees tonight. Pasta was flavorful and ingredients worked well together between the bits of ground beef, broccoliraab (aka the stem) and mushrooms. However, the sauce on this dish is watery...I would 've thickened it a little, so that itsticks to the noodles. The gemelli pasta dish was a mushroom bolognese sauce topped with two dollops of ricotta cheese buttexture was more like a whipped sour cream. This dish needed a touch of salt or something. One person described it as more of apasta with a thick marinara sauce or tomato paste. Not a fan. We started with an appetizer round of sweet potato fries, roastedbrussel sprouts, and the bang bang shrimp, all of which were excellent! Cocktails too! Still love this place... will be back! ?

I havn't been to Sava's since before thier remodel. Ordinarily this place would be 5 stars all day long... however I believe due to the Art fair they were busier that usual and probably understaffed. That being said the staff was friendly yet rushed,service was attentive yet slow but the food was very good... unfortunately we never received the appetizer we put in andalthough we were not charged this is not the service I would expect from an establishment of this caliber. Slightly disappointedbut still loyal.

D I V I N E!!! We sat outside on the patio, the food was served in a heartbeat, and it just melted in your mouth. All the ingredients blended together very well, it?s like an explosion of flavors. I got the shrimp arugula salad and the salmonentrée, they both were amazing. The shrimp was a generous portion and it was charcoal grilled, which is a plus! The salmon wasjuicy and very fresh. Also the service was brilliant. Definitely coming back to try the whole menu, because I don?t wanna missout! I?ve had a great experience.
