Mikette Bistro & Bar

A delicious restaurant as if I was in my country again, the environment reminded me of a little bit Paris. The meat was fabulous, and the fries perfectly done! The sauce au Poivre was more liquid than it is supposed to be, but the taste was still amazing! The fondue was surprising, we are used to a swiss fondue in France, this one was different but delicious and original! The bread was perfect too.

This was a perfect place to go out with family. Everyone was satisfied with their meals, and it tasted like quality seafood! I got the lobster mac & cheese and wow it was super delicious! It looked so good when it arrived that the woman at the next table saw it and changed her order. It tasted even better than it looked; I knew I was sticking with a super "safe" option that would be good anywhere, but the lobster and everything made this classic meal special. People at my table also really enjoyed the swordfish-- i think that is what it was-- really anything on the menu was delicious I am sure. We also enjoyed some good mocktail drinks and créme brulee.

I love their sister restaurants, Mani Osteria and Isalita so much I figured we needed to give this French restaurant a try. Three of us went and ordered many small plates to get a good sampling and it was not to disappoint. They have a nice wine menu and of course we started with a bottle and Crab Tagliatelle appetizer. It’s made with cucumber ribbon “noodles” instead of Pasta so healthy as well as delicious. We shared some Strawberry Fennel Gazpacho, which was an interesting take on the cold soup. Absolutely to die for was the Forest Mushroom Salad with Endive…I would go back just for that…and I’m not wild about mushrooms. Another amazing dish was the Escargot. The two I was with never had escargot (snails) and thought they would be slimy…not so; one didn’t even want to try it. Our very talented waiter, Jeff, suggested the first timers start with a button mushroom also in the dish then move to an escargot since they have similar textures….it worked for both skeptics and they even had a 2nd and 3rd bite…sauce was fantastic too. We also tried the French Onion Fondue and the Moroccan Spiced Meatballs, both good. Finished off with, what else, Crème Brulee. We will definitely be back for another Mushroom Salad and Escargot and to try some of the Entrees.

Mikette provides a flavorful dinner adventure with it's eclectic menu. The small plates are perfect for sharing and take you on a culinary journey each one inspired by flavors from around the globe. The wait staff was attentive and professional, offering detailed knowledge of both the food and drink menus. I was highly impressed by the selection, presentation, and flavor of the cocktails. The food didn't disappoint, either! My only critique being that the atmosphere is loud and close. I felt slightly like I was dining with the table next to me and I could hear every conversation within 15 feet of me. Otherwise, it's a lovely experience and a must in Ann Arbor!

We all enjoyed our food. Service was a little off, being a French restaurant with the server not knowing what is Dijon mustard. They were filming some kind of commercial or promotion and as we walked through/around the staff engaged in that project, we all noticed how impatient and rude they were to us.
