Best Authentic Restaurants in Dexter

We enjoyed the Valentine’s menu, especially the fig and Stilton & braised carrots starters and the Cid special! James was super attentive and we’re glad he works for Zola! Nice to see him these past several years taking care of us.

Outstanding experience for lunch- feels like dinner at a formal dining experience where the owner/establishment doesn't do cost saving short cuts a like many ann arbor restaurant managers do for lunch, like reducing dining room staff, removing buss person( clean assist in table clearing, or expeditors that bring entrees to table when server/waitstaff are occupied. So here you have a set of dedicated staff for all front of house service; a host, a waitress/waiter, a buss person, an expeditor( to bring waters, refills of coffee, entrees when order has been taken ) - this creates a production line kind of flow - for faster service for hot food arriving to table timely. Also they are not cheap about fine dining ware; white table cloth( almost non-existent today ) full set of silver/table wear, and hot pots for table set coffee if needed. The kitchen must be a classic proper chef/ professional production equipped kitchen, as they have capability to have dry meat locker( steak house type ), steaming option for vegetables, and all needed for scratch cooking - not from a box , again like many ann arbor restaurants. The menu is a sign of all mention here, as many items would rarely be offered in many places , like genuine lobster bisque, london broil, hand made cole slaw, hand made mashed potatoes, ext.- these things may seem trivial but go see where else you can experience all this, also most lunch entrees are $12-$21 , where portions are very generous and coffee is high caliber roasts with $3.50 with endless refills. So yea - worlds above a fast food joint or mass franchise feed lot, corn syrup, and box sourced food that often are same cost.

We had not been to Mediterrano in a long time, probably not for 12-15 months. And we are sorry it took us so long to get back. Our lunch was delicious. We started with the Minestrone Soup which was light and absolutely delightful. Next, we had the Bread Service and the Village Salad. The Bread Service came with a fantastic soft spread, and the salad was a really great, "Greek like salad", but not their regular Greek Salad, which we always used to order. This salad was way better and we will definitely get it again, even though it was it bit more costly. Finally, we ended with the Chicken Souvlaki Kebab. This was cooked perfectly and a beautiful presentation, as was the salad. Our Server, Spyro, was outstanding. He anticipated our every need, and his timing was perfect. Overall, an outstanding lunch and we will definitely be back.

I have been here several times while visiting my children at UMICH. Service is always quick and courteous. Food is always delicious. Great value!

Faith was our server and she was well informed and attentive. Noise level was a little high making it hard to have a conversation at a normal level. Potato Leek soup was delicious, Caesar salads were overly dressed and the dressing did not have an authentic taste, salmon was well prepared, the panko chicken was a bit dry and could have used some herbs tossed in with the panko crust.
