Ann Arbor

Grizzly Peak is located in a great location, in downtown Ann Arbor. It is a brewpub, and they brew their own beers in house. We ordered a 9-beer sampler, and even though I'm not much of a beer enthusiast, I enjoyed many of the different flavors. The ambiance is fun and clean, and the food is excellent. The sweet potato fries are great, as are the sandwiches and pizzas. The ingredients are fresh, and the plates come the the table looking fabulous. The service was good, but not excellent. Overall, it is a fun place to go with a group if you want some good food in a casual atmosphere.

Earthen Jar is a casual vegetarian Indian restaurant located in downtown Ann Arbor. The serving style is buffet only. The food you take is weighed and costs $4.99 per pound. Though the food is not superb or incredibly fresh (it is a buffet, after all) the numerous options are tantalizing. Grab a mango juice box from the cooler and you've got a five to eight dollar, delicious, healthy meal. There is no outdoor seating, and the inside seating is limited but cozy.

TK Wu is a Chinese restaurant located on Libery Street, one of the main downtown streets of Ann Arbor. The restaurant is clean and well-lit, and it is nearly always packed with diners. The food is excellent and not too greasy, like food at many Chinese restaurants. TK Wu offers an "authentic" menu in on the back page of the regular menu. Ask your server what the difference is between the authentic dishes and the regular ones. We did but did not get an informative answer.

Most dishes contain meat, but vegetarians will find a few meatless options, most notably the tofu and shrimp dish listed on the authentic menu.
