Weber's is a staple in the restaurant world of Ann Arbor. Not only does Weber's have an excellent hotel they have a wonderful restaurant where tourists and local go to enjoy and fine meal. The cuisine is traditional American Fare. Steak, seafood and lamb chops are common on the menu. The rotating seasonal specials are thankfully not absurdly priced. Which at some restaurants they are.
The decor also changes every few years. The last time I was there they had the large hanging fruit in the main dining room. The restaurant is separated into two parts. The main dinning room lit mainly with tall stain glass windows. The seating consists of long cushion booths and deep set wooden chairs. There are also circular booths for larger intimate parties. The second part is better suited for more romantic occasions. It a darker dining area light only by flickering candles on each table. The seating is the same deep set wooden chairs as the other room. The round tables can make it a little crowded for four or more people.
Even though the menu is typical American restaurant food it does not disappoint. The main dishes do not come piled with a laundry list of side dishes. They come with one or two complementary side dishes. I had the New York Strip steak that came with a baked potato. My dining companion had one of the specials; Oregon Salmon. It came with garlic mashed potatoes and sweet candied onions. She said the salmon was a bit over cooked for her liking, but still enjoyed it. Each diner had the option of a soup or salad. Their soup that night was cheeseburger soup. It was in honor of the University of Michigan game that day. Not something you'd should expect to frequent Weber's on a regular basis. The bread basket comes with your standard butter as well as pate. If you're familiar with pate, it's basically liver paste that is often common with bread or crackers. Weber's is a good place to start is you're interested in trying it.
The staff was attentive but not over bearing. Both our waiter and the manager made sure our meals where cooked to perfection. We were easily able to get a 6:00PM reservation on a Saturday night. Weber's is popular but that doesn't mean you'll be waiting and hour and half for a table. Another good thing is that Weber's offers a free shuttle to and from the University of Michigan games. A plus for football fans looking a for a warm meal and good nights sleep at the hotel.
Whether you're looking to celebrate a graduation or go for a romantic night out Weber's is a great choice. Their ambiance is perfect for almost any occasion. The menu has something to offer for everyone, even children. So the next time you're looking for a classy affordable place to eat out in Ann Arbor give Weber's a try.
