Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Session Room is a lively spot offering "excellent service," vibrant atmosphere, and a diverse menu. Diners rave about the "outstanding ahi tuna poke bowl" and the "to die for" BLT and Reuben sandwiches. While the noise can be high, the friendly staff and "great vibe" make it a go-to for casual gatherings.

    We were seated on the “heated” patio but it was freezing out there. We had to wear our winter coats, it was that cold.

    Had a reservation for a big party, which I specified and confirmed indoor seating when making the reservation. Upon arrival, our only option was to be seated in the covered outdoor space which was significantly colder and dimly lit. Multiple drinks on tap were also unavailable. The food and service were quick though which made up for some frustration.

    Solid food at a reasonable price. Excellent, friendly service. A huge step above bar food. Pretty loud at times, can be hard to hear conversation.

    Busy Saturday night, had a reservation but decided to sit at bar as a bit quieter. Excellent food, yellowfin tuna salad very nice, quick service, especially considering how busy, huge beer selection, price not crazy, what’s not to like?

    Outstanding beers and tasty food! Wish they had French fries :) This is a great spot to visit more than once on a trip to Ann Arbor. Very nice people working there. Top notch gastropub.

    They did a great job getting tasty dishes and great drinks to us in good time given the size of our party (9) and the busy restaurant (Friday night before a big rivalry football game!). A fun night, Kudos!

    Love the food and the waitstaff! I love the entire place…. Except the noise level. It always takes me a bit to adjust to the noise level.

    Great place to eat, although we do miss the formerly non-ABC beer list. Food was great and our server was awesome.
