Wanted some goulash and reddit led me here. The were booked out for grad weekend but let me in at a small table. Food: 4/5: Started me out with two very delicious warm soft rolls that had a great crust, and a salad that felt about as good as a packaged salad but it was “free” so can’t really complain. It was mostly fresh with a couple wilted leaves. The goulash was excellent. The meat was flavorful and super tender, the sauce also super flavorful and the perfect consistency. However the egg noodles were overcooked for my liking, because they were a little mushy they didn’t offer as much of a texture difference as they could have. I wonder if they prepped them a while ago and by sitting warm they cooked more than they intended. The desert was blueberry cheesecake it was more cake than cheese. However the blueberry filling tasted great and fresh and the crust paired really wells with the mascarpone. As a pleasant surprise it was plated beautifully and with very fresh blueberries and sliced strawberries. All of it tasted great together. Service was great: 5/5 didn’t bug me too much but still kept my water full, was very polite and kind. I received my food in less than 10 minutes after ordering. Atmosphere: 5/5 a little dim, no harsh direct lighting but several of those fake candle chandeliers. Lots of cool wood carvings of people and sail boat drawings on some of the walls. An ancient cash register sits on top of the desert display and at the center of the restaurant they had a guitarist playing beautifully. That was the main reason I ordered desert just to listen longer.
This is one of my top 5 favorite restaurants in Ann Arbor. I have been going for years and I have never, I mean never, had a bad meal. It is a Polish restaurant and you can tell that everything at this place is made from scratch cooking and made with love !! You will be paying 20-30 a plate but it is well worth it, plus it is a very hearty portion. They have a good wine selection and make sure you leave room for dessert, whatever you get, it will be good. I have worked my way through most of the menu and nothing has tasted bad, so whatever you feel like on the menu I feel confident in its taste. The service is the best in Ann Arbor, Michael is one of the greatest servers I have had at any restaurant. He is attentive, kind, always seems to come back when you need something, and is not overbearing! I seriously cannot recommend this place enough, give it a shot!!
Love this restaurant! It has elegant vibe and very European style. Foods are good taste and exquisite. It will be one of my favorite restaurants here. The bread with the butter you will want more!
This restaurant is one of my top favorite places in Ann Arbor. The ambience of this restaurant is phenomenal and the decoration inside is antique with many beautiful artifacts. It is a polish style restaurant where you could find variety of food and desserts. Have visited this place multiple times and will go again if I get chance. Highly recommended place and you will never regret spending money there for good food and great environment.
Oh my!!! Amadeus is lovely!!! We had such a wonderful time and the food was amazing! The service was absolutely perfect, attentive but not intrusive. The pierogies are the best ever. I really recommend the kielbasa. The potato pancake with dill sour cream and caviar was exquisite....and the dessert menu is entrancing...
Small but cozy restaurant that throws old European vibes. We had a three-course meal there for dinner and loved every item served to us. I would recommend their Budapest Pancake and Salmon Ski from the main menu. Limited options for vegetarian people though. Service is a bit slow but no major complaints around it since the food turned out to be delicious. Reserving a table ahead of time is highly recommended.
Had the Red Caviar for starters accompanied by 313 Polish Lager and the main course of Polish Plate with pork pierogi, finishing up with the delicious Dark Chocolate Mousse.
We love small, unique restaurants with great food and Amadeus did not disappoint. We walked in at 5:40 for our 6 pm reservation last weekend and were promptly seated, The waiter made great drink/beer recommendations (watch out for the alcohol content in the Polish beer!!). Our food was awesome - better than my what my Irish momma trying to make Polish food could produce! Two of us had pierogis, one had chicken paprikash and one had the salmon with potato pancakes (the presentation on this dish was spectacular). There were a lot of clean plates! We will definitely be going back and adding Amadeus to our regular rotation.
